What the fuck, was /v/ trying to trick me again?
I've been putting off this game for a year now because you guys kept saying the combat was shit and I believed you with your cherrypicked webms. After the critical acclaim of the new expansion, I finally decided to give this game a try. And guess what? The combat is actually not that bad and provides a decent challenge if you actually play on a difficulty level higher than Story and Sword. I mean what the fuck we're you expecting for a story-based RPG, Devil May Cry combat? This is the last time I listen to opinions on this shitty board ever again.
>>340123651
>trusting /v/'s tastes
>ever
How can people fall for a few autists spamming the same outdated webms over and over again?
Unreal.
>>340123651
>inb4 the one autist with no life spamming the thread with webms on baby level difficulty and a few early game bugs
>>340124565
It's literally just one guy
>>340123651
I hate to say this, but you literally fell for the bait.
>>340123651
post the webm
>>340124759
I didn't save them because I don't contribute to shitposting but the one that gets posted most frequently is one where Geralt is fighting a chimera or something like that in a cave.
>tfw bought the whole series but never played any of them because I'm too busy with work
>in 1 month my work project ends and I have all the time in the world to finish the whole series
My body is trembling for this pleasure
Honestly though I suck at this combat. A pack of drowners either takes forever to kill or I get my ass beat up by them but kill them in like 1-2 minutes.
Swing swing, they dodge, close the gap and they swing, I dodge and then swing swing. This is like every monster so far and I don't remember Witcher 2 being this tough or lame?
D O W N G R A D E
But no seriously screw you CDPR for fucking up the graphics.
>>340125018
Learn how to dodge, and get some oils for your swords, they help a lot
You can also make decoctions and shit. What swords are you using? And difficulty?
My silver swords are around 400-500 damage
>>340123651
Nice try CDPR
>>340125018
Sounds like you're purposefully making the game as boring and overly difficult as possible by not bothering to prepare for any combat at all and just spamming basic attack. By "sounds like" I mean that's factually what you just said, blame yourself, not the game.
>>340125139
I think it looks pretty good
B&W improved the graphics as well
>>340125018
>Swing swing, they dodge, close the gap and they swing, I dodge and then swing swing.
There's your problem. Mix your attacks with some magic and use oil, jeez isn't it obvious? Drowners are weak to ingis, if you read the bestiary you would know that.
The combat is shit. Dodge the enemy's telegraphed attacks, fast attack a few times, dodge back out before they retaliate, and repeat. Quen is available if you're a shirter that somehow gets hit.
>>340123651
>I mean what the fuck we're you expecting for a story-based RPG, Devil May Cry combat?
Why not tho?
The combat is not 200% shit but this is really high quality game in every regard but the combat, they really should play some jap action games from the last 10 years or so and realize they are not doing the best they can honestly.
>>340125245
I'm still pretty early, only level 10 and just ended the Vike Isle quest line and doing other side-quests in that area. I can hit dudes fine, but it's just I really felt more aggressive and fluid in the other Witcher games (even the first one) than I do in W3 so far.
Dodging even seems weird to attack out of, like the pause after dodges are performed are huge and I might as well be starting a whole other combo of attacks again.
>>340125491
Why would I waste oils on drowners? I know they are weak to ignis (as I did read the beastiary you cuck) but this is pretty much the same for any monster fight so far: water hags, rotfiends, alghouls, anything...
>>340125334
Would you prefer the guy to keep fighting after you set him on fire?
>>340125347
Don't be so defensive, but literally why would you waste oils or potions on a random group of drowners? That is absurd.
I've played and finished W1 and W2 and I enjoy this game, but this combat is way deadlier than the other games.
>>340125652
Use the signs, use quen so you can stand the drowners hits, use igni since theya re weak to that, etc.
I play on Death March and you can deal with 99% of situations by putting on Quen, hitting light attack once or twice, then dodging and repeating. Putting Quen back on whenever it falls off or you take a hit.
The combat is incredibly dull because of this
>>340125652
>Why would I waste oils on drowners?
Because using oils isn't wasteful. Once you've used alchemy to create them you have unlimited oils. Used up all your oils? Just meditate for an hour and bam, you have them all back.
>>340125139
Thank the consoles.
>>340123651
>I mean what the fuck we're you expecting for a story-based RPG, Devil May Cry combat?
I was expecting something above the level and depth of an Elder Scrolls game. I really hate this mentality that it's okay for role-playing tames to play like shit. No wonder these companies put more time and effort into their cinematics.
>>340125018
>I don't remember Witcher 2 being this tough or lame?
When I was done with W3 I went back to W2 to try a different build and story.
The rolling.
Was.
So.
Fucking.
Slow.
>>340125814
Hmm, maybe that's the thing I've missed. Sounds like that would help a bit more and I didn't realize it worked that way.
>listening to /v/ any year past 2011
You're own fault.
>>340125765
So just like every game with a dodge system ever
>>340125897
Theres a perk for that
Hairworks yes or no?
>>340125765
Quen pretty much breaks the combat.
Remember to follow the red line op. This is key to success.
>>340126027
No.
>>340126103
>Nose piercing
why do sluts ruin themselves like that?
>>340126027
I have an overclocked 970, and I'm running everything on ultra except shadows which are on medium since there's little visual difference but a big performance hit, with Hairworks on 4x MSAA and I get 60fps 95% of the time
>>340125672
Yes, actually
>>340126227
Why is his hair so soft, i-i wanna touch it!
>>340125765
>>340125512
Agreed. Quen needs a nerf, and dodging should have some sort of cooldown so you can't spam it endlessly.
Can someone tell me if W3's combat is better than 2?
Because I'm playing W2 now and it has one of the worst combat system I've ever played (1 wasn't this bad)
>>340126027
If you're not getting dem sixty effpeeess, it should be the first thing to go. Very big impact for the small improvement it brings.
>>340126248
Well, thats retarded, and you are probably retarded too Anon, sorry bout that.
>>340125975
Really? Every game with a roll has a spell that negates all damage for a hit that you can constantly reapply?
>>340125765
It's not really damage efficient tho. And also won't help much when fighting several enemies with a ranged attack.
>>340126407
No, i do agree that quen can get a bit boring but roll , hit light attack once or twice and roll again is the same in pretty much every game yea
>>340126315
they even give you perks that make it so you take less damage while dodging if hit by a second enemy, to the point where I think you can basically be immune to all damage while dodging
people joke about iframes being retarded in Souls but Witcher 3 has a ton of iframes when rolling.
>>340125845
>he genuinely thinks TES games hold a candle to W3 combat
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>story-based RPG
For fuck sake google what RPG actually means. This shit is not. It's just action-adventure game. Devs just call it RPG so the stupid little kids can feel smarter about themselves.
And do you niggas roll that much, i pretty much only side step, its way better
>>340126387
Fighting a knight lit on fire who ignores repeated hitstuns sounds challenging
more challenging than cheesing a stunlock fire spell that breaks the fight entirely, robbing it of any tension andfun
>>340123651
>listening to opinions on autism central
No one to blame but yourself. Just look at all the shitty games people on /v/ discuss regularly and ask yourself whether their opinions were worth holding with regard.
How people here voted LiS as better than DiRT Rally and TW Attila and then expect anyone to respect their opinions on anything having bad gameplay is truly mindboggling
>>340126348
It's pretty much the same shit. Pirate it and see for yourself
>>340126348
W2 has no targeting so the combat is rough as fuck.
W3 does though and it's much better because of it. This anon >>340126952 is retarded.
>>340125512
You just described the combat in every Souls game
>>340126879
>is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting.
I'm assuming the roll of a witcher named Geralt in a made up world with monsters and shit.
>>340127139
>Roll Quen Roll Quen Roll Quen
Yeah sorry it's the same shit.
>>340127143
>But Dark Souls!
>>340126879
Is the Witcher not a game where you play a role and develop your character and story through it?
Oh, you're just a retard.
>>340127305
>I-it's all roll spam
So easy to tell which retards have never even played the game.
>>340127374
It's the only game /v/ can kind of agree has the best combat.
So what your saying is no game that isn't completely designed around combat like DMC is shit?
What's it like being so contrarian? How do you enjoy yourself?
>>340127592
It doesn't even have better combat than Mountain Blade and it's not a fraction of the RPG either. So I disagree.
>>340127559
I pirated it the day it came out.
>>340127778
What
>>340127210
>>340127420
Looks like every game in the world is RPG.
>>340127778
>It doesn't even have better combat than Mountain Blade and it's not a fraction of the RPG either. So I disagree.
HAhahahahaha k
>>340127837
>still shitposting about it, a solid year after not understanding the combat and dropping it
What a miserable life it must be.
i just dont understand why anyone fell for all that
>>340123651
>The combat is actually not that bad
Please keep playing the game more. You will soon realise that the game only has couple kind of enemies.
You got humans of three kind. One with sword/bow, one with a shield, and one with two-handed weapon. Then you go to monsters :
>Every draconid moves and attacks the same.
>Every wraith moves and attacks the same.
>Every necrophage apart from water hag attack and move the same. Couple of the necrophages have special attributes, like exploding on death or reflect, but their attacks are still near identical
>Every beast is the same
I could go on forever. The monster variety is great, but holy shit they could've done much more with it. Apart from wraiths, dodging to right and attacking works for every fucking mob in this game.
>>340123651
>provides a decent challenge if you actually play on a difficulty level higher than Story and Sword
why don't you leave white orchard first?
>>340127865
>>340127910
One of them has high player count MP with a high skill ceiling and the other is autistic trash with a terrible fanbase where mentally deficient handicaps talk about how hardcore they are fighting AI all day.
>>340127973
>Still defending trash games a solid year after.
What a miserable life it must be.
>>340128213
You're judging a SP game by its strawman community you made up...
Anon, you have autism.
>>340127887
Damn near. It's a very broad category.
>>340128213
This, M&B MP is pretty good and not for the casual at heart while DS is for people who need to fight a mindless program as retarded as they are
>Lets make the UI and Inventory trash on purpose so when we fix it all the dumb asses will praise us.
>>340128441
I think the UI actually got worse
>>340128441
Wasn't really that bad to start with, they just made it better
>>340128289
Didn't think there would be any counter argument because I am right
>>340127887
Well on top of just being some guy, you actually have a fictional classification (like being a mage or some shit in any other rpg) that isn't normally obtainable by just being some guy. On top of that there are leveling systems for gear and stats, so you do build your character as you go. The game is also very story based around the world you are in. The only weak argument that you can make is you can't choose your class.
>>340128423
Both have MP and SP and M&B is better at both

>/v/ trying to trick you
No it's one nigger whose devoted his life to shitposting about the game. Everyone with a reasonable mind can see the combat is heavily flawed and could use a lot of work but the rest of the game more than makes up for the shortcomings.
The shitposting is literally 1 dude who is so constant that it seems like he doesn't even sleep.
>>340128762
It's not my fault you get trashed out of the MP for being bad at video games anon. Go back to "kill a bot and post about it: for kids" with the other fatass retards.
Have you accepted Witcher 1 as the best Witcher game yet?
>>340123651
ughhhhhhh you aren't one of those people who jumped into the 3rd game first are you?
>>340125139
And it's still the best looking game out.
>>340128726
then you must fucking suck at video games. after white orchard and the first few hours of velen, the game gets piss fucking easy even on death march. the game only gets moderately challenging again in hearts of stone with the frog prince and caretaker, but they can easily be cheesed if youre someone that experiments with bombs and signs.
>>340128862
Why can't DS fans handle skill based MP games?
>>340128995
It's a lifetime of being pampered by the devs calling them "hardcore" for killing retarded AI's and their parents keeping them supplied with diapers because they have serious mental retardation.
>>340128852

>>340127887
>every game has a bunch of branching dialogues, quests with multiple outcomes and a lot of different states that affect the gameworld and the ending
I wish
Are people seriously complaining about movement in a combat system that's all about positioning.
>>340128762
M&B has better graphics than Fromshit and its not even a big budget console game. Its some indie shit made by a Turkish guy and his wife.
>>340123651
Anyone got any general gameplay tips? I like the world and environments, but the actual gameplay is kind of a turn off. Especially the way they made getting experience points.
I really don't want to bother with the crafting mechanics either, but it seems like I might have to soon. Is there any easy to make and reliable potions I should use to make combat easier?
Glad they fixed all those nasty bugs
>>340123651

Just make the one that heals you and Cat, the rest is opitional, if you want to not die use a ekkimura or whatever decoction and thats it
>>340129551
This short clip should help you out.
I'd say soulsbrone only has a one up in gameplay due to bosses and the amount of weapons you can use in the game
witcher 3 has your xbow/magic/and melee weapon that all play the same

>>340129782
So I can pretty much ignore most of the crafting? Sweet, thank you.
>>340129804
Looks like you're just abusing a terribly designed enemy to me, don't see how that would help.
It's like when I came across a wyvern in the wild and didn't even have to move my character because all of it's attacks moved my character out of the damaging part of it's own attacks.
>>340129679
>100 posts in
You're late
>>340130078
Well if you really want the most dps you cant, but you can play the game without bombs or anything, you dont even need any potions, the one that heals you is just so you dont have to waste food and cat is just to see in the dark
>>340129513
DS is not only casual as fuck compared to M&B but it looks like shit too, makes M&B look next gen as fuck by comparison.
I wonder how it is the fanbase can be so insufferable like their shit doesn't stink with all this in perspective

It's not my fault DS autists are easily triggered lol
>>340130183
dps doesn't really matter to me, as long as I can reliably kill things. I'm just not a fan of extensive crafting.
>>340130364
Well my comment still stands, good to hear whatever that thing was isn't useless though. That zebra moose looks pretty cool.

Unnatural hair colors and piercings are general a sign of low self esteem. I think it's to get attention by being different but that part is just a guess

What have I been doing this whole time? This would have helped me so much, so many different times.
So I finished all of the notice board side quests, and the main story, now I'm just exploring all the monster nests and gear caches
I have like 50,000 crowns that I don't know what to do with and high end swords and shit that I just end up selling because my current gear is already better than what I find.
I really need to buy the expansion pass and play the DLC
>>340123651
Iuno, I didn't play 3, but in 2 you just spam quen forever even on hardest (especially on hardest). The control over the types of swings and combos you do doesn't really feel good. Then I spend too much time hoarding shit and talking to people in town and I just get tired of it and play something else. I liked Risen more even if it is a bit choppy, simple, and lower budget.
>>340131327

Well besides the final boss having a really easy to dodge move that can one shot you (even with quen up) not really. As long as you aren't really greedy it's just as easy as any other part of the game.
>yfw
>>340132506
Yeah they cater to casuals and people who prefer to watch interactive storybooks. Modern videogames.
>>340126912
Sticking your foot in your ass is challenging too but still stupid, Igni stuns human enemies because they are... burning alive and stuff.
>>340132684
Feels good, man.
>>340132506
the whole point of a difficulty level is that it caters to casuals AND people who actually want a challenge.
difficulties which arbitrarily decreasing damage done and increasing damage taken doesn't make it any harder, they just take longer to kill. mods don't excuse poor game design
>>340123651
You should have known that /v/ likes to nitpick every single game. Especially masterpieces like The Witcher 3.
>>340132689
Go back to dark souls then, it's sure to weed out your "casuals"
Git gud amirite? Fucking normies
>>340133091
No go back to DCS and Falcon 4 BMS.
>>340132716
>realism is more important than good game design
this argument isn't any less stupid than it was 20 years ago.
>>340123651
Shit's hilarious. There was a thread yesterday evening I think, some "what went right" thread for bloodborne? Retards were like "sidestepping, bro. It's a much better mechanic than rolling"
Literally ok when bloodborne does it.
witcher 3's combat is not special in a positive or negative way
it's there, it's serviceable, it's not super engaging, it's not offensive
combat is one of the least important aspects of the game
it's a good adventure game
>>340133250
>making things hard for the sake of being hard is good game design
some enemies are weak to certain things, the humans behave like they should if they were on fire, thats solid game design.
>>340133383
I agree!
>>340133383
One of the least important aspect of the game, in a game where many situations and quests can only be resolved through combat and where the bulk of your character upgrades are combat focused.
>>340133495
So go play Morrowind
Problem solved
>>340133571
I'm glad we can all agree that morrowind is a better game than witcher 3.
>>340123651
Did people actually not like the combat? I thoughtit was really well done, and if they had improved on the IA a little more and had a more seamless way of changing the signs if would've been perfect.
So yeah why people actually said the combat was bad is beyond me.
>>340133679
Morrowind existing doesn't make Witcher a bad game, that's not an argument
>>340133495
yeah you're not allowed to have reading in modern games though
sucks but there's nothing we can do to change it
>>340133539
yeah, it's kind of weird that the points you get through combat are spent on things to get better at combat
>>340133760
That guy never said witcher 3 is bad, just worse than morrowind. Nice argument witcher drone.
>>340133432
literally every common enemy staggers to igni. It's realistic, but ruins the challenge of the fight. realism isn't important in a fantasy videogame.
why doesn't geralt instantly die when he gets shot or stabbed in the face? That's not realistic at all. horrible game design.
>>340133679
> A Game that consists entirely on fetch questing, rat killing and talking to the same lifeless NPC's over and over again

>yeah, it's kind of weird that the points you get through combat are spent on things to get better at combat
Nice argument except XP is also gained from non-combat stuff.
>>340133692
I have no problem with the combat either.
Everyone seems to be throwing a fit of Quen but I only ever used Igni because frankly I dont really like using magic in games.
>>340133857
>literally every common enemy staggers to igni
Thats not true
>>340133760
>>340133956
thanks i like your argument too
gwent was pretty much the only combat of the game that stood out
>>340133067
I nitpik because they are serious faults in otherwise really outstanding games.
It's pretty bad when you have to put more thought into W1 combat than W3 combat
>>340133982
you'd be able to name one if it wasn't.
>>340127143
and that's why souls games have such a shitty casualized combat
withcer couldn't even rip it off right
>>340125985
No, the perk increases distance rolled.
>>340134069
W1's combat was shit though, not fast and fun like an action RPG, and not enough depth and options like in a tactical RPG but something in between.
Really fucking shit
Alright, I am gonna assume 90% of the people who finished B&W got the bad ending on the first go, right? Just got the ending whereDANDELIONbails me out of prison. What a fucking bro. Totally came out of left field. Also, Regis wasn't that good of a character DESU. AlsoAerondight is fucking OP, I think I swung my sword 5x at Detlaff and took him down to his third form
>>340134202
> DaS having casualised combat.
Please name a single action RPG with a more tactical approach than Dark souls
I don't remember thinking W1 had bad combat.
But I used the Combat Revamped mod, which basically made combat fast and brutal. Basically, niggas arms be getting hacked off in a hit. There were no meatshield damage sponges.
>>340133341
it is though, it has fewer iframes and is faster in general, its better for the overall pace of the combat, but only dark souls faggots hate it cause they cant wear havel tier shit and just poise through everything and then use 2 rings that still gives you fast rolls
>>340123651
It's not just about combat, gameplay in general is as deep as an MMOs, the game handles open world horribly.
>>340134467
You can just mash R1 and regain.
>>340123651
The combat isn't really that bad, it just werks.
But do you want to know the reason, why the combat gets trashed so much?
Because the game is so fucking perfect, that everything not god like get trashed into oblivion.
I thought this game would be shit.
But it wasn't shit.
It was good.
>>340134168
Any enemy with a shield.
>>340134491
Elaborate. I think they did fine avoiding ubisoft's collect flags/medals filler.
>>340134595
>It was good.
No it wasn't
/v/ says it's shit so it's shit, end of story
>>340134491
Bullshit. You know which game actually handled open world horribly? Just Cause 2.
And yet people slurp that game's cock to death.
>>340134614
wrong. thanks for playing.
>>340134584
This. Almost everything in Witcher 3 is outstanding, combat is one of the few sore-thumb mediocre parts. Not completely terrible, but flawed and rough, so everyone shits on it.
INDISPUTABLE FACT:
Level system ruins the combat
>>340134768
I don't remember what was terrible about just cause 2's open world. How about a really bad open world environment: MGSV.
Anyone else actually enjoy the Witcher Senses sections. I just enjoy the fluff dialogue where Geralt describes the wounds caused by monsters like a forensics investigator. Feels like I'm playing CSI: Polish Folklore.
Game definitely needed more variety in the non-combat sections, but it's understandable that a guy who's greatest assets is his inhuman senses would use them a lot.
>>340134784
Nigga I was just playing the game and enemies with shields don't even flinch with igni unless they catch fire, which is random.
IF you are one of those faggots playing a sign build then maybe but in which case why are you complaining? Your weakness is stamina management.
If you want a good board with an OK community, go to gamefaqs. This board is full of edgy manchilds, with 10% of the threads being good.
>>340134929
Sure, if you want an interaction-free CSI episode in your game
Literally press X to continue
>>340134767
>/v/ is 1 person
Pretty sure most people here think it's a good game anyway.
>>340126879
>RPG called the Witcher
>You get to roleplay as any Variant of Witcher you want
Makes sense to me at least. If I got a DnD campaign called "Demon Hunter" I wouldn't be alarmed by being retricted to the Paladin.
>>340135016
The only other game that had investigative segments I can think of is LA Noire, and instead of Witcher vision they made it so you heard a jingle when you walked past an object you can investigate. They're both literally the same thing in my opinion. I'd rather just see which items my character can interact with from the get-go instead of running around a room like an autist spamming E
>>340134929
i can't name a game that handled that kind of thing better from the last decade
it wasn't impressive but it was kind of fun
>>340135239
And yet you are here spamming shitty opinions like and autist.
>>340135239
They should've incorporated more puzzle elements. A lot of times you just follow the scent or footprints, no thought required.
>>340135313
I don't see how a 3d game can have investigative segments that aren't at least similar to what LA Noire and Witcher 3 had. Maybe your autismal mind can conjure something revolutionary so you can e-mail CDPR and get a job working on Witcher 4?
>>340135416
That would be too difficult, since this game was obviously made for casuals
>>340134929
The Arkham games had the same shit.
>>340135550
Such is the fate of AAA games.
>>340135416
What? Like having to narrow down what monster it is by collecting evidence together and looking for a match in the bestiary? That sounds like a fucking bore, mate.
>>340123651
How much does upgrading Corvo Bianco cost? In total.
>>340123651
>listening to /v/
don't tell me that you bought a ps4 too
>>340125512
we're not talking about souls saga you silly
>>340136073
but le souls game has special JAP powers that make it better than any western game ever made............ git fuckin gud scrub
>>340123651
>and I believed you with your cherrypicked webms
always do the opposite of what you see being shitposted.
>>340136073
Souls actually has the decency to put in plenty of small rooms or cliffsides, and rolling doesn't have 1 second + worth of 1 frames
>>340135869
10-15k I think
OP is a geniune CDPR shill. Every sentence reeks PR speak.
>>340135235
anon, most of the guys on /b/ never touch a book even for playing a REAL role play game, don't hit the cage too hard, the monkeys will jump
>>340123651
I really wish that combat was more like everything dies in 2-5 hits, including you. This would make all the complaints about combat way less relevant.
THE GODS HAVE SENT THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAST TO PUNISH US FOR OUR SINS
>>340136230
ja, here's a faggot that never played the game with other armor than ultra overcompensating world of warcraft heavy, i bet you use the zweihander too faggot, and never tried to parry
>>340136579
You got all of it wrong, and I don't use shields too for that matter. For the record I think witcher 3's combat is ok.
>>340123651
>Keep mashing square to win.
>if you get tired of that parry and hit :^)
Enjoy your brain dead game.
>>340136408
...just how many sword hits do you think you can take in real life genius ?
>>340137512
Why doesn't Geralt wear a helmet if armor is useful?
Why does Geralt wear armor if armor is useless?
>>340137512
>Why doesn't Geralt wear a helmet if armor is useful?
Witcher's rules, deal with it.
>Why does Geralt wear armor if armor is useless?
go ahead and take your armor off, then fight anything...see what happens.
>mfw those last moments before finishing blood and wine
>>340137861
>Witcher's rules, deal with it.
Nice sources. Apparently witchers are so stupid they'll deprive themselves of the most important piece of protection.
>>340125575
>Why not tho?
Why would you want anime combat in a fucking western sword-and-board RPG? It completely goes against the setting.
>>340138157
>Nice sources
Well i haven't read the books, but from its illustrations, witchers don't wear helms in general. So write a letter to the author or i don't know..just stop being a little bitch once in a while, maybe someone will love you then.
>>340125334
>he got several lucky burn procs
>>340138157
According to the book lore (it doesn't really work like that in the games though) most monsters can fuck you up with one hit regardless of any armour. By not using any and not having a helmet you increase your mobility and visiblity. Having armour against a monster is like wearing a buletproof vest against a .50 BMG.
>>340129679
You should actually be praising that, that was hitbox porn.
Speaking of combat
I really like the game, but at first I thought the combat was kind of floaty and a lot of button mashing
But then I turned up the difficulty a notch to blood and broken bones and started to treat each fight like a dance with its own rhythm and the combat actually became fun when I was dodging and attacking fluidly with different types of attacks instead of just button mashing and checking my way through each fight with quen
can someone hook me up with that picture of geralt, you know which one im talking about
>>340123651
Nigga you done fucked up when you took anything that /v/ said as fact.
Anytime a great game comes out there is always a massive amount of shitposting faggots who will try to tell you otherwise.
>>340138157
Witchers aren't designed around fighting people. A heavy helmet against a monster would just be a viewfield destroyer.
Everyone always talks about the combat, but why does no one talk about the terrible controls? Witcher 3 could have been so much better if the controls were better. Everything is so delayed and you feel like you're only partially in control. It really bothered me when I played the game, and still does now when I'm playing the expansion.
I still really enjoy the game though.
>>340141186
I don't get the delay meme. Aside from turning from a sprint, shit's not delayed.
>>340123651
I didnt like TW2 but TW3 looks good, should I buy TW3? And should I play it with KB+M or controller?
>>340141307
I dunno man, during combat it takes Geralt a good while to dodge after I press the dodge button. Well movement and dodges seems to be the things that feel most delayed. Combat is quite responsive. Geralt attacks when I press attack, uses signs and bombs when I press the button. I don't know why it works like that.
>>340141449
I don't get that at all. I'll go back in and fuck around a little but I don't understand what you are experiencing.
>>340125652
Oils are not limited, once you've crafted the bottle it lasts the entire game.
Use oils every time, and having a decoction active at all time is a good idea too (especially with the alchemy skills that give you bonus when you have a positive toxicity).
Brewing the potions that are limited in use only costs a bit of alcohol and a calm spot, so go nuts.
>>340141534
That's odd, so you're not experiencing the delays? Could it be a console problem then? Yeah, I play on consoles. Shit PC etc...
>>340125334
I don't get it. Looks like a sign based build with those burn procs. What is this supposed to show?
>>340125754
Oils and potions are infinite. What are you talking about? If you run out, meditate, and assuming you have alcohol in your pack, they will replenish.
>>340141661
Might be your TV response rate.
I tried hooking up my PC to my home TV once and the response time is awful in DS3.
>>340123651
Don't listen to /v/. Don't even listen to /v/. People on here are retarded.
>>340141789
Hmmm, I don't really think it's that. I only experience these delays with Witcher 3. Something as simple as navigating the inventory is slow and delayed for me.
