So now the dust has well and truly settled is it fair to say The Witcher 3 is greatest game ever made?

I cannot think of any other game with the amount of depth and detail as this.

Na. Morrowind is a better RPG, so its the better game.

Do you honestly believe that you can role play better in Morrowind than in the witcher games? I could understand if you were saying it was a better game, you may like the combat or the world more, that's perfectly fine, but as a better RPG? That's just plain wrong.

No one.

RPG's are precisely designed around the idea of removing gameplay. These ARPG hybrids are trying to put gameplay back into the formula, but at best it's a cherry on top.

And honestly, it's not even bad by ARPG standards.

>No one plays RPGs for the gameplay.

Dialogue options are gameplay that dialogue heavy RPGs focus on, Witcher 3 also fails on this front because you get a grand total of 2~ choices on average that are some form of neutral (be it lawful, chaotic neutral etc) because Geralt by his lore/defintiion is not an outright evil character nor is he allowed to be.

Witcher 3s gameplay is watered down and railroaded on every facet, that's why people criticize its gameplay. Games like Planescape that have atrocious combat make up for it in their EXTENSIVE dialogue. Witcher 3 does not have that.

Nice argument.

The combat sucks because:

>Game is based on what is essentially a spellsword
>One weapon type
>5~ total moves that you can't dyanmically string into a combo (No Fast + Heavy attack dynamic combos)
>ONE offensive Spell (igni)

It's just a complete abortion. Having a combat system this limiting, basic and outright boring in what is essentially a 100+ hour game designed around a professional swordsman is a complete disgrace, not to mention the fact that they had 3 huge games to get it right.

If you like games like Planescape that Witcher 3 is probably not for you.
It's one of those games where the gameplay's more interesting than the story, I usually skip most of the dialogues in the conversation.
>>
>>340527434
I just prefer that type of RPG. The gameplay is at least 10x better than Witcher 3, plus it has top notch level design and atmosphere. These are the most important aspects of a video game for me and BB is a 10/10 in both in my opinion.

And yes, exclusives are advertisements in a way, I guess? A lot of the highest rated games of all time are exclusives, what are you trying to say exactly?

This. I was so disappointed to find the combat has basically the level of depth and complexity you'd find in the Batman games.
>>
>>340527434

It's a game that excels at what it focuses at. Which is providing a combat orientated experience in what is essentially at its core, a traditional dungeon crawler.

Witcher 3 neither excels at its story (which is frankly generic and the weakest part even compared to its DLCs), nor its combat, nor its dialogue variety nor even its visuals (which GTA V was far more impressive technically speaking).

Its just another run of the mill, cookie cutter AAA open world game filled with the same repetitiveness and bloat that plagues games of that calibre

That's funny because the combat in Arkham series has more depth and variety than Bloodborne which some casuals praise so much, it's essentially just X and R1 smashing.

By your own admission then some of the widely accepted "best games of all time" lists that include such classics like MGS3, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate, Deus Ex etc etc cannot be even acknowledged for such an accolade due to their exclusive nature.
