Is Witcher 3 actually bad or was that just a meme?
huge meme
Massive meme. It has its issues but they don't make it bad.
>>337873525
Great except for the combat.
It's not without flaws, but it was definitely deserving of GOTY
terrible RPG
any game that has a predetermined character with voice acting should not be allowed to be called RPGs, more like a action adventure game like Assassins Creed
It's mediocre.
>>337875206
See, this faggot is memeing pretty hard right now.
It's the first non turn based rpg since Skyrim I've played non stop for weeks on end.
Doesn't mean it doesn't have some pretty bad flaws though.
>>337873525
not bad but not good either. its a mediocre series.
>>337873525
It's the pinnacle of modern WRPGs, and although it's third on my list of 2016 games, I love it, and it's definitely one of my favorite games of all time.
That said, I do have some issues with ir, mainly how much it deviates from the books when it comes to Ciri's relationship with Yen; this is just a very small flaw, though.
>>337875896
how is it not fact
Pretty good. Has flaws, mainly that you can get overleveled easily doing all the sidequests, but still really good.
official witcher 3 review.
all non-quest related things you can find on the world are copy paste boring shit
no one will talk to you unless they are quest related and you have the quest that requires them
awful ui made for consoles and only 2 consumable slots, making alch spec a chore
no resource management, you just instantly get all your potions back for whats essentiallly free
enemys have 1, maybe 2, attack that they repeat over and over, making fights absolutely boring after an hour
level system only works to the games detriment, as youll quickly outlevel everything you have to do and it will all be easier than the game already is
coming across a SKULL WARNING SIGN monster should be exciting but it's not, because you know it fights exactly the same as all the others of its kind, only with more hp.
"cinematic" controls that ignore accuracy in favor of looking more natural
even death march is easy as fuck due to a lack of enemy attack variety and every ability you can spec into being way too strong
ciri sections are boring and unneeded and only serve to rob you of what could have been the one interesting boss fight in the game.
the final moments of the story seem rushed as fuck, from oh hi crones now we fight, to im eredin i have a secret, im dying my secret is this guy tricked us and i had no plan to deal with it, to oh actually geralt i didnt trick you
majority of loot is randomized and scales to your level. Nothing you find really excites you.
all enemies have an extremely short tether that you will cross unintentionally more often than not. At this point they ignore you and start walking back to the center of the area or hang around to get hit easily
witcher senses are only ever used when the quest requires it and is just hold right click to follow quest arrow. you cant actually track monsters or anything out in the world(and why would you need to? theyre all tethered to a small location and never move away)
6/10 game. Had potential, wasted it.
Tons of content, depending on your level of standards.
>>337877635
Is Deus Ex not a RPG then?
>>337877635
RPGs aren't even fucking games, its just structured role playing. (spend some time on /tg/, that shit is not a game for 99% of the players) They should let video games use RPG for its own use.
>>337873525
It was pretty meh but the fanbase will call it great just because of the prizes despite them being worthless ever since Cisquisition won '14 goty
>>337873525
The controls, and as a result the combat are pretty bad. Everything else about the game makes up for it and then some. Trying to jump right back into the game after an extended time away is particularly jarring because of how shit the controls can be. Shit's still GOTY hands down
It was bad, but not as bad as Shitout 4. Bethesda should kill themselves. Yet another fucking jank ass game at launch while removing the good stuff that made New Vegas GOAT.
Should just give it to Godsidian.
>>337873525
combat was flat out fucking shit and its embarrassing that people still defend its combat.
everything else pretty amazing though.
>>337873525
its meme
>>337878206
I'd say the mechanics of the combat were fine, execution was shit. So not flat out shit, just mostly shit
Like every game in the series, it has its charms, it has its strong points, but there's also a ton of flaws.
The main narrative isn't nearly as strong as the second game, and aside from presentation isn't even really any better than the first. In-fact the overall quality of the games Side-Quests is superior to the Main Quests, which is in one way super awesome but simultaneously pretty sad.
Combat and gameplay in general is still pretty meh, and due to the changes made to targeting and the way Geralt/Roach control (Especially in combat), built this time 100% from the ground-up for Gamepads, it feels even worse with M/KB than TW2.
Environmental design is solid, but the way the POI content is placed in the world really fucks with the feel/flow of the world design. Sure, you can skip it, but it doesn't stop the absurdity of there being monster nests, chests, abandoned villages, bandits camps and a host of other pointless filler shit appearing every 30 seconds you ride in any direction, and it makes the world feel much less organic.
UI is rubbish, barely improved over TW2, and the HUD is the worst in the series (Although at least they were kind enough to make the HUD almost fully toggable).
But that said, the Music/Atmosphere was top notch like the rest of the series, the few characters and story moments they do pull off well they pull off really fucking well, Witcher's world is inherently interesting and the game looks fantastic (At least with a few PC mods), Hearts of Stone was actually really well done (Far better story than the main game) and it's certainly a better way to waste 50-100 hours than the vast majority of other AAA games released in recent years.
>>337873525
No other game that I can personally think of has nearly as much worthwhile content while also having such an expansive and beautiful world. Truly a game to get lost in.
HOWEVER, the combat isn't the best. There's a lot of dumb quests where you literally just follow a trail and fight a monster, and after you beat it the first time, it's hard to go back.
My biggest problem with it is that I just can't seem to find the motivation to bother with another playthrough. It's just too mind-numblingly long.
Definitely at least worth a shot, especially during sales. I think it's safe to say that no current WRPG touches it.
>>337873525
It was alright, it got GOTY because everything else in 2015 was mediocre at best, and shit on average
>>337877797
You have 4 consumable slots though.
>>337877797
>only 2 consumable slots
>playing with controller
>>337873525
One of the best games of all time.
I'm loving it
>>337878650
Not him, but I'd like to also say that Hearts of Stone was really enjoyable because of Gaunter O Dimm and Olgierd.
I also enjoyed the Olgierd boss fight, both real and fake.
>>337878650
>main narrative isn't nearly as strong as the second game
Yes it is, they both have huge dips in quality though. Basically anything to do with the wild hunt in 3 sucks dick, anything to do with politics aka Act 2 Roche and all of act 3 sucks dick.
Heart of Stone has the best narrative out of all the games.
Why cant we just enjoy video games?
Skub and anti skub over everything with you people
>>337873525
I put it up there with Dragon's Dogma
>>337873525
couldnt get past the sluggish movement so i dropped it
>>337873525
It's a great game with extremely shallow gameplay. I'm not sure how that's even possible, but it is.
>>337881401
because despite the franchise being like 8 years old in vidya, they've only made 3 games and its out of Poland.
Making third person action games is hard. Out of the last like decade all that came out of it was Dogma and Souls.
Combat is sub-par, but it's at least mildly enjoyable if not difficult or deep.
World, atmosphere and writing is fantastic. The main story and some other important quests could use a bit of work, but is better than almost all RPGs which have a comparable scale to the Witcher 3.
>>337873525
it's not bad
but the combat is kinda bad and it has no replayability
it's worth playing through once
>>337880785
Me too
>>337873525
- Dead economy system outside of absolutely cheating
- HUGE leveling imbalances and difficulty spikes
- The development team hands out massive nerfs with each new patch
Still, it's Shadow of Mordor + Skyrim
It's part of the trash "third person action AAA" genre that people play "for the story".
>>337881913
In its defence the story is pretty well written
>>337881000
there's a real Olgierd boss fight?
>>337881761
>lets turn the difficulty down to baby level and shitpost about a game just because it's popular
lel at your life
I'm sure there are many people here who genuinely disliked it, but knowing this place, I'm just as sure that a lot of people are simply doing their best to be contrarian given its critical and commercial success and the fact their precious underground Slav dev team now have normie attention.
I loved my time with it, though outside of giving me a genuine sense of place in the world and some great writing, I can't really say it does anything truly exceptionally (aside from the soundtrack being objectively GOAT tier). Being a bookfag and enjoying the prior games enhanced my experience, that's for sure.
I would recommend at least trying it, the amount of money you're willing to pay to do that is something only you can answer.

How droll
Witcher 3 is a great game. Here's why.
If you love a compelling story and interesting characters in a vibrant world with great lore, this game is for you.
But if you're a shitposter then this game is also for you. From combat to bugs you can shit post as much as you like and gather up all them tasty (you)s as you try to sell this game being bad.
Witcher 3 is the perfect game, not just for RPG lovers but shit posters and b8ers as well.
>>337882494
JRPGs aren't RPGS
>>337873525
The amount of detail and writing is god tier. It is a very interesting game to play but god the combat isn't all that. I really love to play games on the highest difficulty but with witcher 3 the combat just isn't deep enough to warrant it. I wish it was, I wish someone would perfect RPG combat

See? Here is an example I mentioned in >>337882757. This guy has been posting the same webms for years about W3, trying to say the game is bad based off the sonetimes glitchy, lowest difficulty combat. Every thread he does this because he loves how easy it is to b8 and shit post these threads. He loves this game eternally just from all the (you)s he's gathered.
What a magnificent bastard.
a little bit of both
the gameplay and combat definitely gets repetitive and the skill leveling system is really not balanced at all
storywise however, work of fucking art compared to everything else that came out that year

Smuggler cache #74 is just boring and pointless.
>>337886680
not really, but it makes them easier to ignore and makes it seem more fortuitous that you stumble upon them rather than slapping a marker down on your map
>>337886776
True I suppose.
It was one of the first things I did.
>>337886680
Then don't do smuggler cache #74. The game doesn't force you to do any of these at all.
>>337886859
I thought you needed to do all those things to get all the formulas until I met gremist.
Still have some issues with ingredients though.

Nah. Narrative dips in TW3 are much worse than TW2, or hell, even 1 despite its presentation woes. The massive retconning, god awful implementation of Ciri as a character, shitty politics, or any compelling characters in the main story line is simply unforgivable.
TW3's narrative strengths are in the side narratives like with the Baron, which had compelling characters such as the baron, and compelling antagonists like the Crones.
But then when the Crones are present in the main narrative, they're pure, utter shit, and have their mystique ruined in a 5 minute boss fight, where their original side narratives built them up wonderfully.
The main narrative itself is mostly shit. It was designed to introduce us to a variety of interesting side content, but whenever it commands our full attention to progress itself it's jarringly awful. TW2 didn't have that problem.
>>337889274
I dunno, the run-up to Battle of Kaer Morhen was pretty rad
Its the best game I've ever played in terms of side quests etc having actual story and general creativity. I love making my own characters but having a set piece does wonders for the game.
Every other open world RPG is for the most part a single player mmo.
>>337889506
Geralt finding Ciri was the only part of that which felt compelling to me. Everything else was kinda meh from a story telling perspective.
It was basically the standard RPG cliche of asking for favors from people you've helped, which generally feels rewarding, but was so limp dicked in TW3 that it pissed me off.
>Zoltan gives so little fucks that a fucking gwent card is more important to him
>Emhyr genuinely offers you something awesome, but the writer couldn't figure out how to implement the help of the Nilfgaardian army, so we have Geralt auto-decline over something petty
>Skelligbro offers you the sweetest deal ever to make your last stand in his awesome castle filled with nordic wizards, which is something that every Skelliger would want to do since it accomplishes two things. 1. Protecting the Lion Cub of Cintra, which they're sworn to do, and 2. kicking wild hunt ass which is in all of their songs. Geralt auto declines because this would make too much sense
>Djikstra either gives you cash or tells you to fuck your own arse
I dunno. And then the actual battle happens, and it's just so lame and pointless, since everybody got frozen by convenient ice magic anyway. The only interesting part was when Vesemir got killed, but the way he got killed was so forced, and it's such a shitty lazy way to kill such a long term character that is was more frustrating than compelling.
>>337873525
Listening to /v/ about this was one of my worst mistakes, and I'm now fairly certain that half the people who shit on it either haven't played it through in its entirety or haven't played it all. It's not perfect, but it's still a fantastic game, and easily GOTY 2015 for me.
So if you haven't played this on account of /v/ bitching about it, I'd advice you try it out for yourself and make up your own mind.
>>337873525
It really is just beyond fucking boring with a world that is endless forests and just generally uninteresting characters.
I can't even be bothered to play witcher 2 or 1 now.

People always take it as a joke when I say the game has too much content. The game has too much padding. Instead of 80 hours for the base game, make it 40, but use the same manhours to make the content better and more dense. It would make a better game. Instead of a fuck huge world with smuggler caches, make a smaller world with more interesting encounters and locations.

this is PC version
It was a fact
-Shit combat where everything is available at the start and signs are essentially throwing sparklers on the ground
-Quests which revolve around following an NPC, holding right mouse button to follow some tracks or looting some treasure chest in an area where a large circle appears on the minimap
-The story is pure fucking garbage, 75% of it is allocated to finding Ciri with nothing but fanservice quests provided after the White Orchard area. The Wild Hunt only gets a small amount of screen time and they get defeated in the dumbest way possible
-Ciri gameplay segments and Ciri's personality in general is just awful
-Large open world where you collect shit every 20 meters ala Ass Creed
-Anything related to the boat will cause your blood to boil
-Massive graphical downgrade
-Very limited actual roleplaying elements. Your decisions barely affect anything other than a few powerpoint slides at the end. On that note the ending was almost as lazy as Mass Effect 3 considering a large trilogy adventure
Gwent is the only good thing to come out of the game

I'm sorry but that means you're playing scrubs bro
Monster is the best deck type
>>337893967
>Bloodborne
Slashy slashy Dodge dodge
>Witcher 3
Spinny spinny Dodge dodge
>>337893862
Why not?
>>337893641
If you don't like stories (or are a fanboy of the Souls series), pick Bloodborne. If you were a fan of old cRPGs and modern story-centered WRPGs it's Witcher 3 easily. I love both these types of games, but Witcher 3 is better overall desu.
TW3's combat is better than DD's
>>337877635
>how is my opinion not a fact?
Hahahahaha
>>337894261
Now this is just blatant shitposting.
>>337885878
all of them, did they increase difficulty of gwent? it became way to easy later on
>>337877829
>>337894307
Explain in clear terms what roleplaying you can actually do in Witcher 3
This ought to be fucking good
>>337894384
How about you eat a dick and learn that self insert rpgs aren't the only ones that exist
>>337894210
Alright. Let's hear your definition of RPG, since I already gave mine
>>337894327
it's an objective fact
I don't understand how some people can criticize Witcher 3 and yet not offer alternatives. If the game is so shit please tell me an rpg that has a great story, interesting lore, and does combat better than W3. Because if that game exists I'd love to play it.
>>337894384
you roleplay as a witcher, monster slayer for hire
>>337894384
Is your ego so massively inflated you want only your mary sue chosen one kind of characters in rpgs? This game is clearly not for you if you can't bare to see someone else's story
>>337894327
>sction based combat
>you can't fucking dodge
fuck that game
>what are games? how is pressing w and clicking is a game? no way it's a game!
this roleplaying argument is more retarded than downgrade meme
>>337894534
inb4 soulsfags pretending there is an interesting story or lore hidden in their game
>>337894384
You play the role of geralt of rivia
>>337894384
>Plays RPGs
>For the RP
>Not for the G
I don't think /v/ is the place for you, Roll20 might be better, or don't other people want to sit through your masturbation material masquerading as Role Playing
>TW3 being bad is a meme due to that relentless shitposter
>TW3 being good is a meme due to all the GOTY awards
>TW3 is actually enjoyed by people and the politics around it's quality are redundant.
troof
>>337875021
Let me guess: Dork Souls's clunky "roll, roll, poke" is better?
>dat feel when Blood and Wine is shaping up to be the best DLC of the year
>>337891497
This, could be better if it wasn't filled with padding contents
>>337894327
>3, sometimes tonly 2, press X to awesome skills
>no dodging unless you acquire it as a skill
>enemies are damage sponges
>the 'epic monster fights' consist of holding grab and spamming light attack for 10 minutes
can't believe I fell for the meme
>>337894327
positioning tactics are shit, all you do is use skills until dead, group combat is spam
saving grace of this game you can climb monsters but it gets old on 5th huge monster and need to hit it 50 times until it's dead
i'm not saying it's worse than tw3 but it is somewhere on same level
where witcher has tactical movement but lacks weapon selection- DD lacks skill/tool selection and movement freedom
>>337894862
The only reason I or anyone should play Souls is the mechanics and the environments, the story is garbage and the lore is dumb as fuck
>>337894967
>Souls combat mechanics are bad
Now you're just being dumb
>>337894756
*action
>mfw people pretending to be retards and hating on witcher attracted actual retards
>>337895018
damn, I wanted toussaint as new deck, fuck vikings
>>337895018
If Dark Souls 3 announces DLC of its own it's going to be last year all over again.
>>337877581
What's 1 and 2?
>>337895248
what do you mean if? they already said it's october
>>337895248
There's already planned DaS3 DLC anon, I would know I have the season pass.
>>337895065
They are bad, unpolished and pretty broken. No amount of soulfags spilling their bullshit all over /v/ is going to change that. Fucking backgammon has better combat mechanics than DS.
>>337895561
Why do you say that?
I've found the combat to be varied and interesting with shittons of movesets and variation on combos with a good parry system and while somewhat limited the in battle movement options are more than most things have
Legitimately not trying to be a dick, I want your opinion
>>337875021
>>337894967
Witcher combat was never good. It's best in 3 but it still sucks major donkey dong
>>337895794
Not shitposting.
They maybe combo variation, with some of the movesets being fun and engaging.
That being said, most people never use any of that - roll, roll, poke is the norm. Few enemies allow you to perform a full combo and trying such a feat is mostly a losing battle in itself.
>>337885778
LMAO
Is Halo an action RPG?
>>337896448
Nope, it's a first person shooter
There are no dialougue options, branching paths, quests, stats, skill trees, etc
>>337896197
Roll,Roll, Poke isn't a fair way to describe it overall, what you're basically saying is "Dodge until you can hit them then do so" which is the basis of all combat pre-firearms
I use Ultra Greatswords because I like to compensate for things, they are the slowest weapon type in the games and I can still usually get a full combo on things, it's about timing and positioning
While there are a lot of faggots out there who like to use weapons like the Dark Sword and the Estoc and do nothing but literally 'Roll, Roll, Poke" there is much more you can do and some faggots are always going to go straight for the meta-approved cheese weapons and strategies
Just don't do that
>>337890156
Welp true, I wish battle of kaer morhen was more fleshed out so it could be much more epic, actually, wild hunt arc should end there, from there on they should've focus on the white frost
>>337883547
the webms being reposts doesn't make their content any less accurate as to how shit the combat in this game can be
>is X a meme?
>le maymay?
>memes xD
THIS meme needs to die
