According to /v/, a bad game like Skyrim should have lost its appeal a long time ago. How come that isn't actually the case, and can someone explain this phenomenon? But more importantly, how come Witcher 3 doesn't have as good mod tools as Skyrim?
All this and Witcher 3 has an expansion pack out
>>341870871
I think this is the more appropriate picture.

>>341870871
>game with a thriving modding community versus side quest bloat: the game
Hmmmm
>ever playing The Witcher 3 on Steam
>>341870871
Because skyrim has more fun gameplay, more content, and a fuck ton of mods. Witcher just has a better variety of enemies and depth to choices. People tend to prefer gameplay in a video game despite what Neo /v/ seems to think.
>>341870871
Mod tools.
That is the simple reason behind the metrics. Good, or even just easily usable mod tools can keep games going on for far longer than you would initially think. This has been the case with every Beth game since Morrowind. I mean, I get that you are pretty salty that F4 wasn't GOTY, but Witchershitposting is still pretty 2015 fampai.

GEE I WONDER WHY THEY'RE STILL PLAYING SKYRIM
>>341871186
the new zelda game copied the witcher, so nintendo fans have just learned that the witcher exists and are now swarming to attack it like a wasp colony
>>341870871
Because there's 30.000 pedophiles out there who want to fuck their virtual 10-year old waifu every day, it's as simple as that
>>341870871
Difference is that Skyrim actually has amazing gameplay whereas Witcher 3 is only popular because it was heavily marketed as a video game novel. Once you read witcher 3 through it once, you'll never want to come back while Skyrim has unlimited replayability due to the depths of the gameplay.
>>341871186

Don't kid yourself. Skyrim was so widely hated here when it came out that you might as well say that /v/ collectively hates it, and be absolutely correct in your assesment. Anime tiddies notwithstanding the base game offers nada.
>>341871186
The autist forgot to take his pills.
To answer OP:
1. Skyrim sold more copies overall, because its older and was on sale for 5 bucks like 8 times
2. Skyrim has an active ( autistic ) modding scene , in other words they are playing a Skyrim now thats maybe 10% original Bethesda content and 40% futanari and 50% new content
3. The Witcher 3 sold a truckload of Pc copies on GoG, more units were sold on GoG than on Steam

I don't really care about the witcher but how the fuck does Skyrim still have so many players? Mods can't fix everything, I hardly reached 100 hours. I know about all the sex mods but I doubt 40k people are starting the game to jerk off at any given time
If Skyrim is so good, why is there not a Skyrim 2 coming out?
>>341872409
Not an argument
>>341870871
Skyrim has enjoyable gameplay, a good loot system and rewarding exploration.
Witcher 3 has none of those, and once you finish the story there is zero incentive to play anymore.

You're right about the Witcher 3 having no incentive to play when you've done the story and sidequests but Skyrim has none of these things

7/10ths of the people who bought TW3 are on console.
>>341871494
You would think Witcher 3 would have been latched on by the PC gamers and modded to hell and back. Why has it not gotten the mod attention that Skyrim has had? Because it isn't in 1st person?
>>341873242
Don't try to reason with him, he's a pony fucker faggot.
>>341879478
Lack of mod support. CDPR has spent the better part of the last year improving TW3 with community suggestions and creating DLC.
Maybe they will release the RedKit soon, it'd be nice, but its still pretty cool all of the stuff they added to the game that people asked for.
>>341870871
Because its good? Fucking /v/ has the worst collective shittaste I have ever seen, if you need proof, go check the active threads right now, I bet at least 50% of them are either weebshit, 3ds/vita weebshit and Nintendo crap no one past the age of 14 gives a shit about, the other 40% being Overwatch threads. Why would I care about the opinion of people that buy their games for the single purpose of jacking off to them? You would think they would like Skyrim since you can pretty much mod whatever fetish you have into it, but I seriously doubt the current casual playerbase here knows how to mod anything at all, find it hard to believe that majority of /v/ are pc gamers when theres nintendo threads 24/7.
>>341879981
>I bet at least 50% of them are either weebshit, 3ds/vita weebshit and Nintendo crap no one past the age of 14 gives a shit about, the other 40% being Overwatch threads.
That weebshit is all terrible too with some of the worst gameplay ever created but these people only play it because they like to jerk off to work out the frustration of being kissless virgins.
Pretty bad. And they call that "high standards"

Why are you so butthurt about GOG being good?
>>341880307
Because it's cheaper, it has Steam integration (so yes, you'll have it in your steam library), it lets you install from any folder if you copied the game from another machine and has lots of great deals for lots of games.
GOG could use some work and polish (kek, Polish) but it actually outclasses Jewsteam in many aspects. If it were more popular a lot of people would buy their games exsclusively there.
>>341878660
Thats the problem with /v/, they cant fucking understand that a game can be popular and good at the same time, look at the souls series for example, retarded fuckers would say its a shit series and that it died with souls 1, fucking bullshit, I fucking imported the Demons soul korean edition back when it was first released in Japan, if anything the series has gotten better, butbof course, some contrarian retard which probably hasnt even played half of the games shits on it like id he somehow knew more about the game than you, the only reason I still visit this shit board is cause I filter the words Nintendo, Zelda, Overwatch and sony.

Probably because it doesn't need it as much.
Compared to Skyrim where you play it for the first time and immediately think 'this game could be way better if they just changed x,y,z'
>>341870871
Millions of people tune in to reality tv every single day. In case you weren't aware people have fucking terrible taste. I saw a few people in this game say Skyrim has amazing gameplay. In order to call Skyrim's gameplay amazing you would have to have played only Skyrim and Superman64.

>Steam is bad meme
Maybe for you americans, wanna know how much I payed for the Witcher 3 back in its initial release? 25$, every expansion cost me around 10$ each, id you are an americuck maybe, but you literally wont find cheaper games anywhere if you live in a thirdworld shihole like me, why do you think theres so many russian players? Their games cost around 15$ or some shit, thats why steam bans people who gift non american copies to other playera.
Include GOG player numbers if you want me to respond to your shitpost next time.
I only played a bit of Witcher 1, am I missing out?
>>341880942
Every Souls game had a major problem after Demon's.
DS1 was good only until the lordvessel. It was rushed afterwards.
DS2 was great, but there were too many bad bosses and the areas and lore were incoherent.
Bloodborne only lets you make 1,2 builds maybe, only one playstyle is available unless you rely on gimmicks and has 0 replay value.
Dark Souls 3 has shit tier online play under every aspect, the PVE relies too much on "2 hits you're dead" and "get stunlocked bitch" memes, making giant dudes in armour a joke to defeat and dogs a nightmare to beware.
It's not about popularity, it's From that fucked up a lot of things.
My personal favourite will forever be DS2 for the amount of choice you had while playing the game, under every aspect, but I can't deny it has major problems that other games in the franchise don't have.
Thanks guys, finally convinced me to buy the game since it was on sale.
>>341881228
Maybe if you played it for the first time now but I was pretty immersed when I put it in 2011.
>Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game
>>341881450
Good point, but I live in a second world country (Italy) and still I'd rather use GOG because it's cheaper, so your argument is invalid.
I wasn't even talking shit about steam, I was just saying GOG is good. But steam is a dictatorship filled with illiterate passive aggressive eastern europeans like you, so yes, Steam IS bad.
>>341881341
>in this game say

Bullshit, I like Skyrim, Its by far the most immersive game I have ever played, with FNV and the Stalker series behind it, I would never in my entire life say the gameplay is amazing, shit, I purposly only run archer builds to avoid having to use melee combat, however, most true rpg players can overlook this aspect, shit, if you think Skyrim ganeplay is bad, how did you even stand playing Morrowind or Oblivion?
>>341881671
How do you like it?
>>341870871
>I can't play a game that has less players than this other game
>>341881665
I think it's interesting to see which games people prefer when they explain properly. Clearly builds and choice etc is important to you so you like the game that offers the most of that.
I really liked the gameplay and atmosphere as well as level design so Bloodborne is my favourite and DS2 my least favourite.
I played them as action games with slight rpg flavour.

Calling TW3 an interacting movie is like calling LOK an interactive movie. Or any game that has a meaningful plot an interactive movie.
There's good news for you tho: you can go play Quake 1 with absolutely no clear context or interaction with any characters right now and brag about it on arena shooters threads, so hurry up and fuck off.
both are meme games but skyrim happens to be a little more engaging, especially with mods
>>341882829
Both your statements are false. There are good official modding tools for TW3, lots of mods have been made and they can improve your experience with the game.
Also, if TW3 is shitty, then Skyrim is a rock and not a videogame to begin with.

Skyrim is hated because it's part of a genre that has been hostage of a shitty studio like Bethesda for way too long. It's good to see games like TW3 having their take on a genre that would otherwise be a collective shitfest of illusion of choice.

>There are good official modding tools for TW3

>>341883356
This.
Everyone played TES and Fallout because they were the only open world RPGS that had a little bit of fun in them, and everyone loves the genre.
When TW3 came out I guess a lot of people were upset it wasn't a fucking Skyrim copycat or some shit, but it's good having an open world RPG with its own mechanics and that actually lets you roleplay in the actual game and not just in your head and with mods.
Skyrim is too much of a glorified shitty D&D campaign with Todd as your dungeon master and not enough of a videogame to be compelling when games like TW series and Deus Ex have great stories and have been on the market for a while.

>>341870871
Those are PC statistics. PC gamers only play GTAIV and Skyrim, it is known. Maybe GTAV since it got ported.
All the AA games come to console, leaving PC gamers playing the same two games for years and begging for ports. If I was in that situation after spending a cool grand on redundant hardware I'd just kill myself.

>>341883618
It's only harder because TW3 is not a mess of loose files and random content put into a folder.
Skyrim is literally all the assets in the game put in a giant lazy compilation, ready to be replaced and modified. If they made the game like 90% of companies do it would have probably been more scripted and less buggy, but it wouldn't have had that freedom of modding.
Which brings us to the fact that all of the games after Oblivion are just the Oblivion engine with some tweaks, an ENB and replaced files in the directory folder.
Skyrim is so easy to mod because it's a half-arsed game.
>>341883890
>skyrim and gta v combined don't have 1/7th of the playerbase of two pc exclusive multiplayer games
>all pc does is beg for ports
Skyrim is more of a port from PC than it is to console, anyway. That shit was so broken on PS3 it put TW3's 10FPS PS4 performance to shame.
I imagine way more people played Skyrim on PS3 too, and the rest have similar numbers for top played games except for CoD
>>341883987
Based on what exactly, you provided no fact, arguments nor proof of your statement, you just said "Skyrim>TW3" and expected people to agree with you based on nothing but "muh shitposting memes"
>>341884094
Skyrim is so easy to mod because Bethesda know what mods do for them AND released proper mod tools.
Witcher 3's modding is insanely restricted because CDPR never released the goddamn RedKit.
>>341884362
>Bethesda know what mods do for them AND released proper mod tools.
Well Bethesda has been using a licensed engine for 15 years and never had the god damn respect for their audience to even try to do better despite being a financial giant.
CDPR had the self respect and courtesy to at least try to make their own and with that comes with some understandable difficulty regarding mod tools.
Hopefully this success will give them the capital to not only make meaningful mod support, but also to increase the quality and performance of the engine that they themselves made for their games.

When you install a Skyrim mod you play with it for 20 minutes, then you're forced to install another mod to suck some fun out of it. How is that engaging? That's delusional and desperate.

The game is so big and it has quests so well written that playing it twice would make almost no sense unless you really want to.
But a single playthrough could last you a good 400 hours with both DLCs if you want to 100% the game.
The combat isn't exactly mediocre, it's more of a "it's fun to fuck shit up with my swords and signs" on easy mode and "I have to be careful with my passive bonus choices" on hard mode, but it isn't tiring at all and I just love to gut people and saw monsters in half, then burn a guy with a shield and blow him to icy bits with my powers.
You have to consider this game didn't have a monstrous budget and it was done by a company who took 15 years to make the first entry in their series, and they're still trying to make a name for themselves. If CDPR had Bethesda's resources and more years of experience this game would be impossible to top under every aspect. That's why I'm waiting for their future games.

Of course, let's talk about a stealth TPS about tactical espionage and sabotage missions in the desert with a fantasy RPG, sure makes a lot of sense. Also, Skyrim is literally "Get in the enemie's face, tank the damage, drink potion, spam R1", same gameplay as TES Arena, since Bethesda is incapable of making a game with decent combat

Playing pretend isn't gameplay, if roleplaying isn't supported by the game in some way you cannot consider it gameplay, and Skyrim does absolutely nothing to facilitate roleplaying.
>>341886879
You never played morrowind.
Morrowing is the same, but you can walk into the stratosphere with a potion and if you attack a crab at lvl 1 all your attacks are a miss.
So he IS talking about Skyrim.
BETHESDA CANNOT MAKE GOOD COMBAT MECHANICS, PERIOD.
Great, so a watered down game appeals to a wide audience
This game is popular with casual faggots, what is the surprise here? The Witcher is bit more of a niche audience. Skyrim and Fallout 3 are the only RPG I've seen my dude bro friends play
>>341887494
Everyone I personally know who loves Skyrim plays 1 game or less a year.
SKYRIM'S TYPICAL QUEST AND EXPLORATION:
>Talk to NPC
>NPC says there are draugrs in a cave on the other side of the map
>You ride your horse who disappears into a tree 5 times until you reach the cave
>20 minutes loading time if on PC with mods or on console to enter a 4x4 meters cave
>The dungeon is like the one you visited an hour ago, and it will be like the one you'll visit the next hour. Same enemies, same enemy placement, same textures and objects placed in the same rooms
>You kill the draugrs by "hitting each other with a stick and chugging healing potions contest" rules or hiding and oneshotting everything
>You kill the boss, who is a draugr with 30% more HP who has one more spell
>You get your generic enchanted axe as a reward
>Go talk to NPC
>NPC wants to marry you\be your companion
>If not, you will never speak with them again, so you kill them a loot their corpse
How can any of you defend this pile of crap?
>>341887790
You forgot the 20 minute loading time to leave.
How the fuck does Skyrim have so damn many people still playing it? Explain it to me!
>>341870871
but only contrarians on /v/ think Skyrim is a bad game. Everyone else thinks it's an amazing game, and will be considered a classic decades from now.
>>341888147
Mods, and Normies replaying it to get hype for Remastered.
>>341887790
No it is more like
>talk to NPC
>he/she wants you to fetch X from a dungeon and kill someone
>fast travel to nearest town/place of the dungeon
>walk to dungeon
>kill everything inside
>collect X
>fast travel back to NPC
Rinse and repeat
>>341888315
As in they are playing it on PC to play it later on consoles and supposedly with better visuals?
>Want to play the witcher 3
>haven't played Witcher 2 though have it in backlog
>haven't played Witcher 2 because lost Witcher 1 save and want to play Witcher 2 with Witcher 1 choices made
>Witcher 1 is so fucking miserable to play can't force myself to replay it.

>>341888486
Yes, Normies can't into mods unless Uncle Todd puts them on that console's store with a pricetag.

It's probably one guy who tries really hard to fish for attention. It's also probably the same guy who spams threads about upcoming games that dislikes the looks of.
>>341888634
His statement is pretty accurate. He must have missed all the epic roleplaying going on in your head that makes it seem like something it's not.
>>341887162
But the TES franchise is the best roleplay available as a video game. You can't deny that. And Skyrim is the plateau of that phenomenon. And if you can't do something you really want to do chances are there is a mod for that.
Compare that to Witcher where you have this preset and scripted playthrough where choices don't even matter. I mean fucking eroges have more freedom of choice than witcher outside of potion and fluff that no one cares about.
>>341886849

>>341889020
Yes I can are you high. Baldur's Gate is good roleplay. Party members and npcs to interact with. Actual decisions to make that can reflect on your character, etc etc.
How the fuck are you supposed to roleplay in a dead world with no decisions to make or npcs to interact with. You companions are basically just robots.
If the game world doesn't support roleplaying and it's all in your head you might as well just play with legos. BG supports your roleplaying.
It also sucks you right out of it if you're some magic hating barbarian and you get made the fucking archmage for no reason.

You either have shit taste or you've only played Skyrim and that's it.
What about Deus Ex? KOTOR2? Splinter Cell? Metal Gear Solid? Heavy Rain? System Shock? Even Halo 1 has a good plot. Don't forget TW3, the game you are shitposting about and didn't even play.

I didn't tell you to write a book or imagine it in your thick head. Videogames aren't the """"""""""meduim"""""""""""" for imaginative stories because literally all the decisions in worthwhile games are made by a committee not by someone creative.

False dilemma. Stop baiting
>>341889837
The only game that I didn't play from your list is Kotor. All of these games had B-tier movie plot. I mean come on MSG and Splinter Cell are known for the so retarded it is laughable plot. The last 3 SC games I just rushed through just to get my fix without cutscenes.
>>341890238
People have given you plenty of reasons why skyrim is bad. You're choosing to ignore them and post player numbers instead.
>>341890212
Probably is, but I don't think Skyrim is being hated on for that reason. Witcher 3 is wildly popular and people here like it. Darksouls is really popular and people here like it.
Maybe, just maybe, skyrim is shallow trash.
>>341886552
He is still there and spams his shitty OC whenever someone says something positive about GOG.
That guy has fucking autism.
>>341870871
Comaring the two games is a bit like comparing apples and oranges. Skyrim is more akin to Minecraft, than it is to Witcher3, because Skyrim's "gameplay" is to be modding the shit out of it, instead of actually playing it. But you can't mod all the shittiness out of it, so you're never done and keep playing. Witcher's strength is the narrative. Once you're through everything, you're less likely to revisit the same story, even though you may have enjoyed it more while you still haven't seen all the content. Thanks to the lively modding community fiddling with it, Skyrim is always baiting you back in with the promise that the next mod will make it awesome, until you drop it again without even finishing the main quest, Then the next mod comes out and it's rinse and repeat.
tl;dr Modding community is keeping Skyrim alive. If it wasn't moddable, it would be dead in the water by now.
>>341889926
because skyrim was made for casuals.
>>341890139
Yes, I love them, too, fellow anonymous. Radiant Quests are truly a next-gen technology, far ahead of their time. I'm so glad I bought Skyrim, now I can't wait for the Special Edition, I've already placed two pre-orders, one to play and one as a collector's edition.
There's no reason to play Skyrim when Mount and Blade exists.
>>341870871
Skyrim has better scores, sales, more awards.
WITCHER SHILLS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>>341890003
> Videogames aren't the """"""""""meduim"""""""""""" for imaginative stories because literally all the decisions in worthwhile games are made by a committee not by someone creative
CDPR hired people based on creative skills to work on quest design.
Kojima designed MGS1 levels by building them first with Legos.
Halo had such a good lore that they manage to make books out if, and said books are actually good.
Plot is so important in videogames nowadays that even games like TF2 and Overwatch have writers and creatives who create a lore behind the characters.
People who work on character design are often guys who have an art degree and are nothing short of cultured people who take inspiration from painters such as Schiele.
If you take off your horse blinders and stop sniffing your own shit you'll see that you are wrong.
>>341890439
I'm not even the guy posting player numbers and I think Skyrim is a boring game unless you gut it completely and remake it with mods, I just hate when people use the argument you were using and think it makes any sense.

I suggest you finish high school without failing your english class if you wish to make hyperbolic or metaphorical statements, and that's coming from someone whose mother tongue is completely fucking different.
>>341890836
because witcher 3 sold 75% to consoles, 25% to pc, 75% of this 25 % was on gog, so it means Witcher 3 sales were liek 5% on steam,

Well, that just means Skyrim is void of any true content, doesn't it? You're basically playing minecraft in the middle ages.
>>341892270
>I can get immersed in Skyrim
I can get immersed in The Witcher 3, so what's your point? You actually end up playing dad in that game, and at least for me I had to make a lot of choices that were really personal. In Skyrim I was forced to pretend that it was so.
Also, what kind of immersion can you find in a game that hasn't got anymore hints of its vanilla state because of mods and crashes\glitches every 5 seconds?
Have it on GOG,
skyrim is overrated
lul
>>341892337
If you 100% this game and its DLC itll take like 200 hours dude what the fuck do you want?
That said, replaying is pretty satisfying with runewright enchantments, extra mutagens, NG+ and level scaling.
>>341881228
This.
Skyrim is shit unless you mod it into something that is unrecognisable compared to the vanilla game
Witcher 3 is actually a good game straight off the disc.

>>341892095
So Popular == Good? Is this what you're saying? You're saying popular things can't be bad? Or that somehow all the people still playing it aren't using mods to try and fix some of its flaws?
Keep telling yourself that, we both know it isn't true at all.

No, please, I can't read this anymore, my eyes are bleeding. How much juvenile and retarded you have to be to saying something like that?
Do you also hang around minecraft sex servers by chance?
>>341892883
Good things = good.
Popularity has nothing to do with other qualities.
>>341892849
That's not roleplaying, it's playing pretend.
If you want to roleplay like that play D&D with some friends, but I guess you have none.
What you describe is literally my fantasies when I'm taking a shit and I'm bored, it's not what the videogame was serviced as.
You're rating videogame based on what you can imagine about it and not about what it is. That's just retarded.
>>341892945
>you have to make dumbass analogies to justify your retarded opinions
Even if you only do the quests itll take around 100.
I've beaten MGS1 like 10 times and I guarantee that I haven't played over 20 hours of it.

>>341893163
>playing minecraft like a manchild
You die first
>>341893034
Exactly, so people still playing it is completely irrelevant to its quality. Skyrim is a mediocre game with repetitive quests that sometimes make no sense, repetitive enemies, an awful magic system, shallow combat, bugs, etc
>>341893104
I honestly didn't finish the game. I quit after 40 or so hours. If you want good replay value then play MGS3 on euro extreme.
>>341893034
You're basing how good a game is based on how many people play it right here >>341892095
You're not basing how good it is on any objective qualities.
>>341893091
It's creating your own fucking story dumbass.
But I don't need to explain this to you. There is a reason Skyrim has higher ratings and a much better and more active fanbase than games like the Witcher 3 which have no replay value.
Go watch someone like Gopher play fallout and Skyrim. He does exactly what many of us do.
99% of gaymers don't have good enough pc to run witcher 3, while skyrim can be ran on potato
>>341893445
You'd be hard pressed to reach 40 hours beating MGS3 4 times anon.
Trust me, I know, I have beaten the fuck out of them repeatedly they are incredibly short.
I have 200 hours in TW3 and I am still having fun doing HoS.

>>341893454
I'm not the same person. I started with the post saying with saying good games = games.
>>341893680
>The same can be said about W3
So? I'm talking about Skyrim here, not The Witcher. Glad you agree though
I bet that no one playing Skyrim is playing the vanilla version, only modded, which is the only reason the game is even playable, it's a mess of a game.
The Witcher 3 is a better game overall with more depth and better story, while it doesn't need mods, it's a limited experience, if it had full mod support I could see it getting as big as modded Skyrim easily.
tl;dr: People are not playing Skyrim, they're playing 999 mods over Skyrim, making it almost a totally different game.
>>341870871
Skyrim has mods with nearly endless shit to do, Witcher 3 is story-driven and gives you a hell of a ride with actual depth but little reason to go back.
Apples to Oranges
it's ridiculous how much /v/ overrates the witcher 3
>>341893680
Minecraft is shitty because make your own fun games are shitty. I'm paying you to make the fun you fucker. When you buy a book they don't just hand you some paper and a pen and say "make yer own story".

I still like it though.
>>341894148
the same could be say of any game that /v/ likes, the only reasont to suck the dick of something in here is that to not be popular, now they're hating the souls saga after the third one
>>341879478
>Why has it not gotten the mod attention that Skyrim has had? Because it isn't in 1st person?
Because the modding tools aren't available. I also remember hearing that it would be hard to mod in things like character customization and different classes and abilities.
>>341894245
Different strokes for different folks. Open canvas games can be engaging for me. Minecraft and Just Cause 3 are some of my faves.
>>341894049
I'll assure you that if W3 had proper mod support people would be modding the fuck out of the boring ass game to have more rp experience.
