Why can't I get into this game? I love medieval stuff and rpgs but I only got to Novigrad before losing interest. Does it get better?
Congratulations, you played yourself

WOW
It's an action RPG for utlra casuals, with boobs and "muh open world"
If you want an actual battle system or just a decent game, get dark souls
it wont get better if u dont get better which u wont cause ur gay
Probably because this game is a boring slogg that only really appeals to "le cinematic" gamers
>>339147482
Most retarded response yet, but then again this is /v/
Both games has focus on completely different things
>>339147482
>>339147647
This is the impression I got. Back to Dark Souls
>>339146884
because u havent played the 1st and 2nd one u stupid casual faggot, bet u only played Mass effect 3, literally started PC gaming 3 years ago i bet
>>339147791
I'm a sonygger
>>339147716
ok, tell me what the fucking focus of witcher 3 is then ?
showing boobs and having a shitty open world is the main focus, not the gameplay, you can't deny that
>>339147783
Don't worry senpai, you're not missing much. The game doesn't get better at all and that's one of its biggest issues, its repetitveness and lack of originaltiy.
If you like the Witcher world/lore, then you'll like the game. If you're looking for a good game then you won't.
Simple. Now que in the horde of insecure Witchercucks who will now use the equivalent of "muh dick" nigger arguments with "muh GoTY".
>>339147954
to play gwent
>>339146884
you got to be "into the story" to enjoy it
>>339148121

read the books then ?
don't pretend witcher 3 is a good game, it isn't
>>339148061
>Now que in the horde of insecure Witchercucks
how ironic, souls fag
>>339148282
Never played a Souls game in my life.
Nice boogeyman attempt tho
>>339148258
There are people who disagree with your assessment
>implying Witcher 3 isn't one of the best RPGs of all time
>>339146884
I'm in the same boat
It took a while for the game to click for me OP, but I really enjoy it.
Alternating between W3 and Doom recently has been a blast.
It's world of Warcraft except it's like playing a warrior before you hit level 10 with zelda-like downsyndrome combat
I never understood the hype, I might as well go buy Draenor instead
>>339148451
Literally a worse RPG than GTA V
>>339148562
Wat is that image and why he had it coming?
>only got to novigrad
Thats like 100 hours in.
The controls are so shitty, and no review even dares talking about it.
IT IS A FUCKING VIDEO GAME, SHIT CONTROLS = INSTANT SHIT GAME.
Makes you wonder how much CDR gave to reviewers to have such reviews...
OP you're not alone. I've just bought it on sale because of all he hype and I stopped playing after an hour. Really horrible controls and the RPG mechanics look really shallow and basic. I don't really care much for the lore or the setting.
If you like the story and the lore then you will love the game. It's not a classic rpg but it's fun if you role play as geralt rather than try and build your own character
>>339148920
Not really. A good player would get distracted by quests, monster hunts, Gwent and other such fun activities, but OP sucks major cock so he just got there.
>>339148451
So Witcher 3 is only game of the millennium because Skyrim is bad? What about Morrowind, the Souls series, Bioware RPGs, or Divinity Original Sin?
I played The Witcher 3 after immensely enjoying The Witcher 2, and I was left with the same experience as OP. The questing simply isn't fun enough to excuse the gameplay, acting and writing being piss-poor.
stay pleb
What is this meme that Witcher 3 is a bad game?
Is this just /v/'s usual hyperbolic reaction to people loving them game?
>>339149060
>tfw im a good player
>>339149068
Witcher 3 is the game of the millenials
what's with the character having a fuckin American accent? The game is set in medieval Europe and everyone speaks with an English or Euro accent. This was an instant turn for me
>>339149060
I did everything but the Gwent. I'm supposed to be finding Dandelion now.
You're playing the game wrong. First of all, set the difficulty to Death March, so you actually have to prepare with potions and shit before monster fights like a witcher would. You should also remove the minimap because it removes the sense of discovery. Also, if you got all the way to Novigrad before you stopped means that you definitely rushed the game.
>>339149128
I wish it was, but like OP, I just can't fathom how it's GOTY 2015, and I really wanted to like it, as well (loved 2, like the setting etc.), but in the end the gameplay and RPG mechanics were incredibly "meh" compared to many of it's peers.
>>339149128
not everyone here is a beta virgin
>>339149128
Every game should apparently revolve around "muh combat" or it is not a video game.
>>339149231
Witcher 1 = clicking 3 times in a row.
Witcher 2 = Same gameplay as 3, only you can't strafe to the left or right.
The FUCK you talking about?
>>339149128
The combat sucks, controlling geralt is not very much fun, and the quest structure is bad. Puzzles aren't even really puzzles because witcher vision reveals everything you need to pick up or touch. It's honestly extremely lazy game design in terms of gameplay.
I love the graphics though, the world, and the characters so honestly i tolerate its shitty gameplay elements. The most fun part of Hearts of Stone was walking around at the party and interacting with people, which barely constitutes gameplay. I'm looking forward to Blood and Wine but not for the quest structure or combat.
>>339149060
>the main quest sucks
anon you are bad, play the side quests !
>the side quests sucks
anon you are bad, play gwent !
>gwent sucks
anon you are bad, listen to the story
>the story sucks
no wonder people spend more time chilling the game on /v/ than actually "playing" it
>>339149359
That's some hot opinions there.
>>339149345
The Witcher 3's combat just left me feeling like I wasn't in control at all.
2, on the other hand, wasn't Souls-level, but it was very enjoyable, due to the more direct control of the character. In addition movement wasn't quite as reliable in 3, I felt.
>>339149359
>this sucks,
>that sucks
>those sucks too
>never explain why they suck
Ok.
>>339147482
>liking nippon hack and slash games with no story, depressing atmosphere and shitty soundtrack
Might as well kill yourself already.
>>339148061
it's really good because of its writing, world design, and far above average combat for it's genre
it's really bizarre how poor the quest design is when the writing itself is so good. almost no two quests tell the same story or have the same kinds of characters, but the red trail bullshit and leveling is retarded.
Also, this game has the worst loot design of all time
still in the running for my favorite game of all time though
>>339149550
>Witcher 3 fan criticizing Dark Souls story and soundtrack
wew lad
>>339149573
>Also, this game has the worst loot design of all time
What? How is it bad exactly?
It is quite boring, there are things in the game that could make it really great but they just fall flat, all these potions and alchemy stuff they added in you don't even need because the game is heavily reliant on it's level based system it ruins the balance of everything else. You find tons of weapons and armor but you only need Witcher Gear so again everything else becomes useless. Then there's the Assassin creed style "loot exploration" which is just even more boring, sometimes you could find a strong enemy and it could be fun for that little bit but other than that it's a waste of time. Gwent will honestly make you want to play the game just to get the cards and I'm not even joking, that was my main motivation to even beat it, just to get Gwent cards.
>>339146884
I immediately refunded it like 30 minutes into the game it was such a piece of shit. /v/ told me it was good, fucking liars.
>>339149631

>>339149657
I don't think I've ever found gear I've actually wanted to use by exploring the world, and I've gone to every single map location except a few in skellige because the boat controls fucking blow and I got annoyed by the sirens
>>339149528
did you even read the thread ?
or are you just ignoring all the complaints of the controls and gameplay being shit in a fucking ACTION RPG ?
The action part of witcher 3 is shit, adding a stupid mini game and tons of quests does not save anything

>Something something glass houses and stones
>>339149528
>why do the main quest sucks
70% of it is a giant fetch quest trying to find Ciri who's always in another castle!
>side quest suck
99% of side quests follow the exact same formula. Follow red shit then engage in a forced fight scene with your already limited playstyle. Compare that to Dark Brotherhood assassinations and Thieves guild heists from Oblivion and yea, it sucks
>gwent sucks
Meme card game, it's a minigame. Not much to comment on
>story sucks
Similar to the reasons why the Main quest sucked. It's a giant fetchquest that never really amounts to anything else. Emyhr is horribly underwritten, the Wild Hunt have no real relatable qualities making them "Disney tier" cartoonishly evil and the ending is literally the exact same Ex Machina fuckery that ME3 got shat on for having (How did Ciri defeat the Wild Hunt? Ciri literally is the star child from ME3).
Prove me wrong :^)

Because mechanically it's the exact same world design as Ubisoft games with their obnoxious check list padding sprinkled across a shallow map.

>>339149631
Souls story is bare-bones as hell, and the OST is very hit and miss. Also the fact that there's rarely any music playing aside from bosses which is retarded as hell.

>inb4 "don't need to play to know"
>>339149657

>impossible to fashion because random light armors are now better than heavy armors
it really needs something akin to TES loot design, even Oblivion tier. Where certain armor and weapon types are tiered. Like Novigrad longswords shouls be like TES iron, then all those special longswords should be like daedric, glass, etc. It just sucks playing through the game and my equipment is completely essentially completely randomized
>>339150006
its physical design, mostly. its not just visuals. The world looks and feels realistic. And I never played any of the UBItrash, but I like how the locations and enemies are static. I just really wish loot had some static organization to it even if basic stuff had to be leveled
>>339149964
Look, you'll get no disagreement with me regarding Witcher 3 being better than Bethesda games or Bioware games, but it's still quite flawed in terms of actual gameplay.
>>339149573
>and far above average combat for it's genre
for western game, maybe, and I'm not even sure about that
But if you compare it to japanese games, no, just no
souls games, dragon's dogma, any 8 or 16 bit action rpg does it infinitely better
>>339146884
>he fell for the Witcher 3 meme
no, it only gets worse
>>339150242

no. that game has the most overhyped combat of all time. I legitimately think it's worse than Witcher
>>339150085
>Bare-bones as hell
Have you actually played the games?
Last I checked, Witcher 3 didn't have entire youtube channels dedicated to it's story and lore.
>>339150085
bloodborne DLC has one of the best OST I have ever heard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrSft5ubTyI
>>339150383
because Dark souls doesn't have any story, so people have to make it up.
>>339150084
Man, I loved Kotor and Balder's Gate, but Bioware RPGs have fallen on hard times, don't act like Inquisition is better than the Witcher.
Of the most recent-ish 'generic medieval fantasy Europe' rpgs I'd rate as:
>Best story, not so strong gameplay
Witcher
>Best balanced of both
Souls
>Best gameplay, not so strong story
Dragon's Dogma
The only thing that deserves an 'overrated shit that isn't even an RPG and has dull story and gameplay' kind of rating would be Shadow of Morder, which doesn't even qualify anyway. What a piece of shit.
>Witcher 3 cucks vs FromSoft dicksuckers
haha
>>339149920
>70% of it is a giant fetch quest trying to find Ciri who's always in another castle!
Let's ignore that the entire scenario is littered with smaller intrigues like the Baron questline, Novigrad and its warring factions, the Dandelion questline, the Skellige succession and so many more I can't possibly name them all.
>99% of side quests follow the exact same formula. Follow red shit then engage in a forced fight scene with your already limited playstyle. Compare that to Dark Brotherhood assassinations and Thieves guild heists from Oblivion and yea, it sucks
While it's true for the Monster Contracts side side quest, it's absolutely false for most of the sidequests. Hell you have an entire sidequest entirely dedicated to assassinating the current monarch and another one where you try to infiltrate a casino.
>Meme card game, it's a minigame. Not much to comment on
Opinions and unironical use of the word "meme". Great.
>Similar to the reasons why the Main quest sucked. It's a giant fetchquest that never really amounts to anything else.

See first point, while I agree with you that some major characters are underdevelopped, others like Dandelion, Cerys/Hjalmar, Yen, Triss and some others get a lot of development.
>>339149751

And nobody said it was. The other anon just laughed at the notion that Bioware RPGs were as good as Witcher 3 and I just felt compelled to point out his underage.
Because they're not only AS good but they were consistently better
>>339150716
Not even that guy, but I played through that poor excuse for a single player MMO. It was mostly about mindlessly spamming shit. Yes, Witcher 3 has a better combat.
The big boss enemy climbing mechanic is cool, but it's just a gimmick.
>>339150685
I clicked on every link and it's always the same shit. Shitty dramatic violins and choirs. This OST tries so hard to sound mature and deep it becomes cringy. The only good track was the one with the piano.
>>339150656
It just has vague descriptions on items. The lore is so shit and convoluted that people mistake it for deep.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9x_koRZ2bA&ab_channel=PlagueOfGripes

Depends on what you want. Dialogue is comedy gold, and if you already played 1 (yay) or 2 (poor guy) you want to know how the story ends.

>>339150923
>did you even make it to Gran Soren
>did you even try different classes
>did you even finish the game
>did you even play through it three times
What does it take to like the game? I think spending 25 hours with a game does make me qualified to give my opinion on it.
I didn't play it standing on my left foot, holding a candle while humming Pokerface, if that's what you're asking, no.
>>339151024
Yes, Marcin. Everyone who says bad things about your Ass Creed wannabe trash is a shill. I bet that's what you tell yourself when you endure the awful gameplay that is Witcher 3.
Is it the first witcher game you've played? Read any of the books? When it came out i was having a bout of unemployment, so I went full out and read all the books and then played the first two games in preparation. I gotta say I cannot imagine how anyone can fully appreciate Witcher 3 without having gone through all the other material, there's just so much subtle reference and tone you miss out on without knowing what these characters have all gone through together
>>339150716
I have not played witcher 3 yet
Is it just some youtube cherrypicking, or is witcher 3 combat really so appalling ?
>>339150965
Is Gene Wilder pasta guy coming around too? It's been a long time since I've seen him.
>>339151146
I don't think it's unreasonable response because the average 'DD is shit' post comes from faggots who couldn't even get past the first cyclops or the hydra.
Why do you think the gameplay is shit, if you spent so long on it?
>>339149340
If a game features combat, an "open" world full of things to fight, and where you play a fucking monster slayer then yes, the combat needs to be done well.
It isn't.
>>339151197
That's a lovely pic you made there Miyazaki. Maybe you should put these skills in good use instead of ruining the video game industry with your rehashed "hardcore" games. But I guess you're busy working on Dark Souls 4 or Bloodborne 2.
>>339151146
If you hated Dogma but liked Witcher 3, you got the Reddit award of shit taste. That's really it. Even if you think Dogma's gameplay is bad, it's still vastly superior to the turd that is Witcher 3's. Witcher 3 wasn't even meant to be played. It is designed as a story first and foremost and the gameplay is being forced in between the story parts. CDPR are fucking amateurs. Itsuno and the like are ten stages ahead in terms of game design than these Polack farmers.
>>339146884
The series is boring.
I have been trying to get into it since the first game, and just can't. They are typically very slow paced games.
>>339151305
Don't read if you don't want my honest (negative) opinion on the game. There's really no engaging content. The characters are bland. The world is bland. It plays like a Korean MMO. Tried a warrior. Was just spamming different kinds of sword attacks with no depth. Tried a wizard. Was just spamming different spell attacks with no depth. Just like a fucking MMO. Yes, the big enemies are neat, but that's about it.
>>339150965
Funny thing is how witcher threads always attracts every soulsfag to shill for their mediocre rolling simulator
>>339149340
if the game is sold as a fucking action game, yes it should
having to explain that to witcher drones just explains a lot about the witcher "community"
"witcher 3" = "my first action rpg with boobs and open world"
Witcher shills have been a cancer on /v/ for years. They make constant Witcher threads, shitpost the "competition" and keep bragging about muh Polack pride. As if there is pride in being the number 1 European country to buy underaged prostitutes.
They are treating /v/ like an advertising board and they refuse to stop. Their /vg/ general failed horribly because the game is as shallow as a puddle and past waifus, the game has literally no redeeming aspects whatsoever. So you have a shill base that keeps sucking Polack cock for no other purpose but to tout Dorito Pope awards.
>>339151438
Look guy, I'm not going to hate you for liking empty single player MMOs. So piss off.
Not everyone is the same. There are people, myself included, who really love this game and never got bored while playing it and completing as much as possible of it. Every game has people who love it and people who hate it. I'm not sure why you have to make a thread stating that you don't enjoy the game - no, you are not alone and this applies for everyone who thinks that. If yo don't like it, just play something else, or finish it first, and then complain about it.
The Witcher 3 main quest is extremely long and it gets better and better as it progresses. It's normal to get bored if you just do side quests, or just do the main quest and that's it. Play an RPG the way it's meant to be played and actually explore the world. I don't know what else to tell ya...
>>339146884
It's a lot better if you played the previous ones and even better read the books. The gameplay is good but not superb and it's the narrative, world and characters that carry the game.
>>339151648
There we go again. Marcin fails to provide an argument to why a geniunely fun RPG is worse than some wannabe Ass Creed bait that isn't even playable.
Shill on, Marcin. Maybe someone will fall for it.
>>339151609
The game is explicitely sold as an RPG.
RPGs don't revolve around combat, they revolve around the story and universe. Deal with it, Go play Devil May Cry if you want an action game.
>>339151258
With Igni spam, it is Superior Blizzard fun times, actions do not consume your stamina if you have whole adrenaline bar filled and since Eredin will get stunned by Igni every single time, here you go, not even the most broken way to kill him.
>>339150872
And yet it's still better than The Witcher 3.
>>339151774
>RPGs don't revolve around combat
Says the Witcher cuck who doesn't get to experience good combat.
Dragon's Dogma has NINE classes, with all more gameplay options than that ONE class of Witcher 3. But hey, atleast you got MUH STORY MUH IMMERSHUN.
Fucking retard CDPR drones.

Is that why Triss/Yen had patches to further their dialogue depth?

>>339148061
>>339149358
Pretty much these. It's an OK game, and people love the Witcher universe, so they tolerate it's shitty parts.
It's good to run through on a higher difficulty once. The combat actually kind of works on Death March. Kind of. The story and characters are nice if you're into the series. If not, why are you even playing it?
Good luck replaying it though. I'm doing so currently to get into the DLCs. It really shows all the flaws you miss the first time through, especially when waltzing through the snorefest combat on lower difficulty. The entire game is really very one note from a gameplay perspective.
>>339151761
This is a Witcher thread. If you want to talk about Dragon's Dogma do it somewhere else. Witcher 3 wasn't perfect, but at least it was fun, unlike Dragon's Dogma.

Great argument.
>cuck
Yeah no need to argue with you.
>>339151880
No. This thread is about someone who isn't pleased with Witcher 3 and I'm explaining why that's the case. It's because Witcher 3 uses the same design philosophy games like Ass Creed and Skyrim does and why it turns out a complete turd. Whereas Dragon's Dogma is made by Japanese devs who actually understand the value of GAMEplay in a GAME.
>>339151541
I don't think the game is free from issues, I just like the gameplay, which is why I put that as it's strongpoint whilst everything else leaves much to be desired.
>There's really no engaging content. The characters are bland. The world is bland.
Fair enough.
>Tried a warrior. Was just spamming different kinds of sword attacks with no depth. Tried a wizard. Was just spamming different spell attacks with no depth.
Not to patronise you, but did you try the bow or short-sword classes, or the mixed classes? The warrior and raw magic classes are kind of basic, although they do have some neat powerful attacks like Arc of Obliteration and Maelstrom.
>Just like a fucking MMO.
Maybe it's because I don't play many MMOs, but I found the combat far more viceral and satisfying than most real-time RPGs in general, even bordering on DMC-levels of crazy in some cases (the bow and short-sword classes kind of pull it off). It also comes to life if you try grappling and climbing the monsters and mixing in your skills and getting your pawns to do launchers for you and things.
Maybe I'm just easy to please, but I get the impression that you might have missed out on some of the more fun combat mechanics. Sorry you didn't enjoy it.
>Tried Witcher 1
>It's boring shit with a bad combat system
>Tried Witcher 2
>Boring shit again, combat system still sucks
I ain't gonna fall for this a third time.
>>339151854

You say this as if the Witcher Sense mechanic somehow ruins the entire quest as soon as you have to use it.

I think deep down you realize just what an awful game Witcher 3 is and you keep dodging it in a Witcher 3 thread.
>>339152159
It's better than any JRPG ever created and those get religiously dick-sucked here so what's the problem?
>>339152065
No, I didn't try those classes. Maybe the game would have been fun if I did but I did honestly try to find the fun in the game for 25 hours and failed.
Let's take DMC 4 and Dragon's Dogma warrior. Let's count the number and variety of the movesets. There's really no contest. Yes, Dragon's Dogma is flashy. Complex? Deep? I really, really doubt that.
>>339151774
interesting
wikipedia says it's a action rpg
steam and GOG says just RPG
so at least they are aware the action part of the game is bad when they sell the game
>>339152215
>dumb Polack son of a whore thinks RPG means choose-your-own story color picture book
Dragon's Dogma is ten times the RPG The Wild Downgrade is.
probably because the combat is awful
>>339152235
Yes, the movement system in Witcher 3 sucks. Story and characters doesn't. Outside the flashy big boss fights Dragon's Dogma just sucks.
>>339151774
That's... An interesting claim.
Now, when has this held true? Well, strike all Tactical and Eastern RPGs from the list, you spend most of the time in combat, thinking how to kill the enemy and solve things through wanton amounts of destruction.
CRPGs then? Well, you do have some that feature non-violent options, but that's only for some moments, and are usually hard to achieve (fallout/arcanum) and you're still spending quite a lot of time traveling and killing random mobs in these games. Then maybe more recent ones? Well, Action RPGs really took off lately -way more than straight RPGs- and as the "Action" tag implies, you're doing lots of action, and by action I mean slaughtering dudes. You even have Shooter RPGs in the vein of ME, and you are STILL killing lots of dudes a lot of the time.
"Revolving around combat" may be going a bit far, but combat IS a very big part of most RPGs, just like it is in TW3, so you need to make that bit good.
And it's not.
>>339152259

Well it is the only form of gameplay to be found in Witcher 3 outside of walking/gwent. You would at least want something is amasses over 50% of your gameplay to be KINDA fun and complex.
>You say this as if the Witcher Sense mechanic somehow ruins the entire quest as soon as you have to use it.
It totally ruins quests though. When you have a quest that is admittedly written really well and interesting only for it to amount to following some red shit marks as Geraldo talks to himself then you realize that it's just some artifical bullshit that's just eating up your time when you just wanna see the next cutscene.
It completely ruined the quests for me.

Daily reminder
>>339152383
>And it's not.
Our opinions differ on that matter because while I think it wasn't perfect, it's was clearly decent for an RPG and on the same level as Final Fantasy if I had to take an example. The gameplay is good enough for you to experience the universe and the different quests and stories.
>>339150383
You're right. Dark souls has youtube videos, Witcher has books
>>339152561
And they still say that they are not mad because of the vga, such poetry.
>>339152561
>game even tells you to use cheat button as if you were too retarded to even find it
Man, they really went all out engineering this game for the Skyrim and Ass Creed fanbase.
If you don't like the story there's not much for you. Combat is floaty and repetitious (even more so on higher difficulties since you gotta spend even more time preparing), exploration is mediocre since most of the points of interests are not especially interesting to look at and the loot is largely inconsequential.
That leaves the story. If you haven't played the other games and/or read the books chances are you're not going to give a shit. Some of the sidequests do have some interesting things, but for the most part they're gather x items or kill x monsters and the larger monsters never come back after you kill them to make exploring possibly interesting.
>>339152650
the game comes from the books, not the other way around, retard
the argument he is making is that dark souls inspires fans to create content and to ponder, witcher doesn't.
Games based off movies and books are unoriginal, you don't even get brownie points for that.
>>339151438

>>339152650
Which is even more embarrassing considering the story they managed to make when literally over half the work was already done for them (lore/characters/backstories etc)
>>339152786
>gather x items
>kill x monsters
If by "x" you mean number of, can you please name them?
>>339152273
Hang on, do you mean warrior or fighter? Warrior is the slow greatsword guy. And yes, warrior has a very limited moveset, which is kind of depressing. It's the result of only being able to use one weapon at a time, when most other classes can use a subweapon or a shield.
I'd say the Assassin is almost borderline Dante level with it's sword and bow gameplay. Ultimately, no, it's not as complex as DMC, but then DMC is first and formost a stylish action game, whilst DD is an action RPG, with character customization, quests, an open world (admittedly not a huge one, but still), roaming monsters you can climb on and hack to death, a range of class types, etc. It's not Bayonetta, but it's a damn good combat system for an RPG, is all I'm saying.
And I would say some of the combat can get complex. There are benefits to well-targeted and times moves and some attacks work better than others. And it may not sound like much, but shooing an asshole griffen out of the sky by shooting it right in the eye just before it swoops into is satisfying on a whole different level.
>>339152454
>The combat is literally x button mashing
Considering about half the moves have charge time, that doesn't even make any sense...
>>339152427

h-help. How long is the Bloodborne DLC and how good is it using Artorias's abyss as a benchmark?
>>339152971
Witcher 3 combat system suffers from casualitis. The base system is great (imo) but because you have to cater to retards and casuals, you can't fully implement it. Things like allowing quick attack spam to win any fight really hurts the game. The hardest difficulty starts well but the balancing is lazily implemented and become a joke as you progress.
It's not the design, it's the implementation, QA and balancing that really fucked up the combat in W3.
It can still be fun if you play along with it, experiment with alchemy, and not just powerplay spamming fast attack and beefed up quen.
>>339146884

Keep playing Bloodborne if you enjoy it. It's truly a fantastic game, both Witcher 3 and Bloodborne are fantastic but I personally prefer Bloodborne.
Blood and Wine isn't going anywhere
>>339153402
B&W is probably going to be cheaper in a month knowing CDPR.
>>339152967
Most of them? How many quests do not require you to collect stuff or kill something? I understand it's Witcher's work, but that doesn't make it any better.
And no I do not mean "Hurr durr gather 10 bear asses"
>>339153402
Bloodborne DLC is quite short : 3 zones and 5 bosses
You will mainly spend time on the bosses, they're fucking hard
If you are good/over leveled, you can complete the DLC very fast
>>339153402
Bloodborne is too gamey. Play B&W instead for cinematic immersion.
>>339153445

Now I'm a Witcher shill
>>339153478
>How did Ciri defeat the white frost
The White Frost is an event that spreads between different dimensions and worlds. Ciri used the Elder Blood to close the bridge between the Witcher world and the worlds affected by the White Frost.
>>339153534
It's literally on sale right now
This game is bad if you are playing for any reason other than story.
Novigrad section was the most enjoyable
Gameplay is garbage. No fucking question about it. Set it down to the lowest difficulty and just go through the main story.
>>339153761
Yes, and it's going to be cheaper in a month.
>>339153719
>Ciri used the Elder Blood to close the bridge between the Witcher world and the worlds affected by the White Frost.
Get me a source, this is never specified in the game. How was her elder blood used to close the bridge? Did she cut her wrists when she went through the portal?
What happened senpai :^)?
And don't forget that source (visual source. i.e the cutscene where all of that is specified).
>>339153769

>>339153840
Nah it was just my headcanon. But it's funny because in Dark Souls there's nothing but unexplained shit exactly like this but people praise it and even create entire threads just to circlejerk over it.
It's okay when Dark Souls does it I guess.

Hahaha god damn, these drones still haven't gotten over how hard their precious turd failed.
>>339154347
Dark Souls barely has a story but the speculation is what makes it rather interesting.
Also the ending of The Witcher 3 didn't revolve around Ciri defeating the White Frost but rather the bond between Geralt and Ciri. We absolutely don't need an explanation for how Ciri defeated it thanks to a power that's supposed to completely exceed the boundaries of time and space.
>>339146884
I was in your shoes, too. I shoved myself through W2, never once enjoyed it. Tried to do the same for W3 and I quit it. I've always loved fantasy games but there's just nothing in Witcher for me. Don't need to feel bad about quitting it, some games aren't for everyone.
>>339152614
As if VTM wasn't terribly linear and with no diverging paths. It barely has any puzzles as well.
I love that game, but this comparison is ass.
Haha wow OP is so mad. Anyone here team yen? I'd follow the red line to her if you catch my drift
>>339154740
>. We absolutely don't need an explanation for how Ciri defeated it
That's a cop out in the same vein as saying "ME3 was all about the journey bro!".
It's desperate. Dark Souls games have remained consistent in their ambigous plot lines, Witcher books, games have never been as such. Not giving an explanation is a flaw and turns Ciri into not only a Mary Sue but a total Ex Machina as well.
She's literall the ME3 start child but in the W3 universe.
>>339155074
>turns Ciri into not only a Mary Sue but a total Ex Machina as well.
You don't know what either of those words mean. Ciri was set up to be the savior of the world for the entirety of the books and the games.
For me it was the dodgy controls and i was getting my ass kicked by everything i tried to take on, so i just ended up quitting.
But i switched the controls to alternative and lowered the difficulty and gave it another shot, and now i'm really enjoying it.
>>339155319
>You don't know what either of those words mean.
Explain how Ciri isn't a Mary Sue and Ex Machina relative to the Witcher 3.
>Ciri was set up to be the savior of the world for the entirety of the books and the games.
Using a completely separate medium to justify your (confirmed by Sapowski himself) non canon game spin offs shitty hamfisted ending is not an argument, anon.
>>339155430
>Explain how Ciri isn't a Mary Sue and Ex Machina relative to the Witcher 3.
How about you explain how Ciri is a Mary Sue first because that's a pretty bold claim. Also she can't be a Deus ex Machina since even in Witcher 1 there's a prophecy that states she's supposed to save the world from the White Frost. Prophecy that also exists in the books.
>>339155074
>ME3 was all about the journey bro
To be fair that's a skewed comparison, ME didn't make a point about "the journey" or whatever, in the Witcher 3 Ciri being the chosen and Geralt being a support figure for her is a constant theme that' s being explored in the character interactions and general narrative.
Yes, not saying how Ciri saved the world feels like a cop-out, but it's thematically relevant in that for Geralt, and this is Geralt's story, the "how" doesn't matter because it's outside his ability to do anything. And part of the witcher 3 was about exactly that, confronting something that's too big even for him that has to be solved by Ciri.
It's thematically consistent with what the game presented before so while I do understand the disappointment, it's really not the same as ME3 shittastic ending at all.
>>339155787
He's using mary sue to mean character I don't like. And deus ex to mean plot point I don't like.

Explain how she's not a Mary Sue.
>Also she can't be a Deus ex Machina since even in Witcher 1 there's a prophecy that states she's supposed to save the world from the White Frost
Get me cutscene where Ciri is described to be the child of this prophecy.

One of the kings is her father the other spent a lot of time around her when she was young. Yen Triss Geralt etc all had a hand in raising or rescuing her. Power along doesn't make a mary sue, someone has to be the strongest. I haven't played the dlc so I can't comment on the liked everywhere she goes thing, she's looked down on or bullied a lot in the books though.
>>339150084

>>339156285
I repeat, explain how she's not a Mary Sue.
" A character may be judged Mary Sue if she is competent in too many areas, is physically attractive, and/or is viewed as admirable by other sympathetic characters."
Explain how Ciri does not fit every characteristic. She's literally a bigger Mary Sue than Rey from Star Wars. Go ask on /wtc/ if Ciri is a Mary Sue, watch as even the Witcher shills admit that she's a Mary Sue.
>she's looked down on or bullied a lot in the books though.
Books aren't the games, we're discussing CDPRs creation. A creation that can have Ciri die, Geralt marry Triss etc etc.
>>339156006
The Prophecy's Glossary entry from Witcher 1
Ithlinne's Prophecy
"An old elven prophecy about the end of the world: "The Wolf's Blizzard approaches, the time of the sword and axe. The Time of the White Frost and White Light, the Time of Madness and Disdain, Tedd Deireadh, the Final Age. The world will perish amidst ice and be reborn with the new sun. Reborn of the Elder Blood, of Hen Ichaer, of a planted seed. A seed that will not sprout but burst into flames!"
Ithlinne, an elven prophetess, is famous for her foretelling of the end of the world. According to her prophecy, the world will be destroyed by an ice age and all humans will die. The only survivors will be elves, saved by an offspring of the Elder Blood, known also as the Swallow. Several signs will herald the destruction of the world, and the cataclysm will begin when elven blood soaks the earth. This will mark the advent of the 'Time of Disdain, the Axe and the Wolf's Blizzard', which can be interpreted as a long war or a return to barbarism."
>>339151438
Nice bait lowering graphics to the lowest and still looks better
>>339156458
That goes just as much for Witcher fans, if not more. Half of the time, they can't say why they like the games without shitting on other games, even when nobody's brought them up.
Basically, you first.
>>339156435
The highest user score for Witcher series is Witcher 3 and it's a 9.2 (tied with Baldur's Gate).

This has already been used to refute me before but it only proves that you didn't even read your own source.
Where in that does it say "Elder Blood will defeat the White Frost"? Where does it even imply it?
IT literally describes the White Frost and the destruction it will bring but mentions nothing about how it will be defeated.
>>339156484
"A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character, a young or low-rank person who saves the day through unrealistic abilities. Often this character is recognized as an author insert or wish-fulfillment."
This is the definition for mary sue I am familiar with and the one I read for the first time back when it first came into parlance. If it means something else now then I guess I'll just concede the point.

How is that important though? Ciri literally has interdimensional powers. Do you question how Gandalf managed to defeat the Balrog? You have to have some suspension of disbelief in a fantasy world.
>>339156912
I'm the first guy you replied to, and no, I clearly didn't imply /v/ was one person when I meted out fans of one game and fans of others. Basically, you're babbling and belligerent because someone doesn't like what you like, take a step back and look at what you're doing.

>>339156915
Again I haven't finished the witcher 3, but she doesn't come across as seemingly perfect at all. Compared to many of the women in the game she's not nearly as attractive and her face is all fucked up. She's constantly getting her ass kicked or running away etc. True mary sues win nearly every conflict they're put in, or at least that's how it used to be.
Given the world she's in her abilities aren't unrealistic at all and she trained for years and years to get where she is.
Anyway, I'm honestly not that invested in this conversation, I enjoyed the books more than the games to be honest. Take care and have a great day.

>>339156915
mary sue is used in a disparaging manner when it feels like the author is just projecting
Ciri can't be a mary sue of a male author/authors if you are talking about videogame exclusively
If you're mad that she has the "chosen one" vibe, so do plenty of characters across every form of media. It's just that this time it's not the protagonist, but another character. Which is fine. Everyone who cares for her are basically family figures in one way or another or someone who is after her blood power, not because she's "admirable" as a person or whatever. The only one that was swooning over her was that village idiot and it was just comic relief because she's hot
I'm not sure why you're complaining, Geralt being the one to save the day from the White Frost would have sucked balls.
>>339157283

Well, I guess the reason people don't stop arguing with you is because you keep using a word that has basically as many definitions as the people who use it.

>>339157638
>hailing his own opinion of it as the truth
Everyone does this here, yours is an empty sentiment. Keeping it to this thread, fans of Witcher do it, detractors do it too. The knife cuts both ways, if you can't see it then the problem is yours AND you're taking what you seem to be so sure is bait.

Well Skyrim is aimed at kids so yeah, it's only natural. The hardest thing to do in it is making sure you don't get over-burdened...
I fucking love the visual style. Why couldn't it have fun gameplay to go along? God damn, I wanted and tried to get into it but I can't. It feels like something went wrong with combat animation. The animation in general looks great, but its like there is no consideration of how it feels to control. They were more concerned with making full, smooth, natural looking motions than pacing the to match up with the speed of button presses.
Dawned on my that's why hacknslashes like DMC felt great. Not necessarily the speed but the motions are staccato and keep pace with what your fingers are doing

>In fact, the console versions of The Witcher 3 comprised 70% of the game’s sales, with the PC version representing the other 30%. And despite over half a million GoG sales for The Witcher 3, 75% of its sales were for the physical retail copy, with only 25% of sales from digital storefronts.

You got it?
>75% of its sales were for the physical retail copy
>with only 25% of sales from digital storefronts
which means
>30% sold to PC
>75% of it was Physical
>25% was digital
>most of it was on GOG platform

>They are treating /v/ like an advertising board and they refuse to stop. Their /vg/ general failed horribly because the game is as shallow as a puddle and past waifus, the game has literally no redeeming aspects whatsoever.
This didn't stop the Mass Effect General from functioning for a very long time. Your argument is fallacious.

It's a shit game.
i agree with you bro
after playing skyrim this game is just...not enough
10 hours into witcher 3 and while i think its a good game. I also think its grossly overrated and misleading on pregame advertising in that its supposed to be a huge open world with no loading times. When in reality its not that open worlded, but a series of maps that do require loading times to travel between, much like inquisition. In fact this game is very similar to inquisition in alot of aspects. Which was also a good game.
But. I was expecting something new and amazing with perfect review scores and all the hype. I am severely let down. I will take a last gen skyrim over this for a few reasons.
1. The one map open world of skyrim was amazing.
2. The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched, from killing an orphanage headmaster, uncovering mage school plots, thieves guild quests, demon quests, cisero lol, on top of the main storyline, etc.
3. 1st person is awesome. Even the dull melee combat of skyrim feels fun in 1st person. But ofc using magic was much more fun and varied.
4. Level system in skyrim is also unmatched imo. Even inquisition had a better leveling system imo.
Witcher 3 has good graphics, good story n quests, good combat, good crafting, etc but just doesnt live up to its hype nor surpass skyrim in any way for me. What u guys think?

tldr;
>70% sold on consoles
>30 % on pc
>75% of this 30% pc sells were physical versions
Steam was like 5% of total buys and still has 20k players

There's a 79 year old grandma on youtube that's been playing skyrim for a while now. A testament to its ease maybe, but shes so nice it feels at least a tiny bit of good came out of the 'accessibility' push of AAA games.

>witcher ps4 version
>not shown user scores

>You say this as if the Witcher Sense mechanic somehow ruins the entire quest as soon as you have to use it.
Witchervision removes any thinking from solving shit.

thats why they say old people are like kids, they play video games while shitting into a diaper
>mfw people think Witcher 3 is better than 2 because muh combat and mu grafx
>when Witcher 2 and 1 are way more true to what a witcher actually is
>mfw most of the people who played the games haven't even read the first book

I feel like I'm the last man on earth unperturbed by loading screens. Even the worst today are so much fucking shorter than they used to be. Yeah its a nice perk but not always worth the price in technical demand. I'd like to see it least a few AAA devs flex what modern hardware can do with tinier spaces as they had in gens past.

I don't like the setting of the games, why would I bother with the books?
