enjoying the story despite the bad gameplay?

what kind of retarded question is this

What's wrong with it exactly?

The combat feels nice and fluid, and with the alternative controls in the menu, just walking/running around feels good too.
>>

Nice bait.

What does the alternative movement do? I never used it.

The story in W3 isn't even that great. People play it for the characters and dialogue.

I guess you must've not played games in 2001. Also, the gameplay is fine and it works.

The combat is simple and spammy, but the game is fun.

Makes your turning circle a lot smaller so moving doesn't feel so stiff and slow. Haven't played with the default controls in ages so can't remember what other changes there are

You want story, you read a book.
You want cinematics, you watch a movie.
You want good gameplay, you play something like DMC3.

I found the combat incredibly mediocre but... the game just has so much else going for it, rich environments and story and characters and voice acting and etc. it was easy to get immersed and be interested in all of it.

At the end of the day it's a video game so you'd expect good gameplay but personally I'm more lenient with the witcher games because everything else is to such a high standard.
>>
>>341749146
>enjoying the story despite the bad gameplay?
So why not just read a book/watch a movie and enjoy a much better story without subjecting yourself to shitty gameplay?
Witcher books are actually pretty good, you should read them, anon
>>
>>341759626
>witcher books
>much better story
Nope, past the first two it's no better than the games. And there's so much more to a game from a storytelling standpoint.

>>341761629
CDPR patched Witcher 3's menu and it's pretty good, on par with Witcher 1 imo. If a game like Witcher 3, which is considered to be one of the best ever, was a learning experience for CDPR then I can only imagine how good Cyberpunk will be.
>>
>>341759626
Most books aren't actually better than most games.

And the games let me influence the story and actually be Geralt.

But combat is one of the main factors of gameplay especially with the Witcher series. Witcher 1 has awful combat, the people that defend this are the same people that will defend morrowind and say it has good combat.
>>
>>341762758
Already played it, and while i liked the story, it didn't really feel like a RPG.
>>
>>341757591
The final boss of tw3 is the biggest pushover in the game.
>>
I didn't have much of a problem with Witcher 1 combat. I used the Full Combat Revamped mod, though, which probably made the difference.

I enjoyed that Fast attack was for fast enemies, Heavy was for slow enemies and AoE was for engaging large swarms. In Witcher 3 Fast attack is for everything, Heavy attack is seemingly pointless and there's not an equivalent to Group attack.

>>341764915
oh, didnt play it yet

he's good or you're just pulling my leg?
>>
>>341765249
Not that anon but yeah, he's a pretty solid boss and has an attack that'll straight up kill you even with Quen so you have to rely on well timed dodges to avoid it.
>>
>>341765249
He's pretty good with several phases that all play differently.
And one of his attack will outright kill you through Quen when playing on Death March.
