So is it true that Dragon Age is going to start "taking inspiration" from Witcher 3?
>>343457176
It was already a cutscene filled waifu sim with a save the world mingame.
So if anything Witcher 3 was inspired by DA.
Less gay to be sure but still.
We can only hope that every WRPG from here on out takes inspiration from TW3 in at least one key area, city/town design.
Novigrad was amazing.
>>343458502
Bleuclair is even better. Based poles
>>343458014
agreed. tw3 makes a lot of the same mistakes bioware and Bethesda rpgs do yet tw3 gets a free pass? why?
I'd rather they take inspiration from obsidian/FONV. make a real rpg, you know, with choices and mutiple paths like a real rpg should have?
>mfw TW3 cucked Bloodborne out of the GOTY award
>Skyrim is a hit
>DA:I "inspired" by it
>Witcher 3 is a hit
It's just buzzwords
>>343457176
Every future rpg should take inspiration from Witcher 3. CDPR showed everyone how true rpgs are supposed to be made.
>>343459648
They should all have shit gameplay?
>>343460045
and shit roleplaying
>>343460045
>>343460483
Stop the maymays Witcher 3 haters or Bethesda/Bioware shills or whatever shitposters you are.
Witcher 3 had the best combat system of any WRPG every made. So yes other shit rpg developers should take inspiration from Witcher 3. The roleplaying was fantastic- Geralt is an awesome character. It is objectively the best rpg ever made.
>>343458731
Because it's based on a book and >muh polish
>>343458731
It uses the same ideas in the best way possible.
Witcher 3 set the bar for many things and people will always notice those in future games, "oh this isnt as good as w3"
For a game to sell they have to either match w3 or focus on things w3 wasnt strong on.
>>343458731
Because it's actually a good game
>>343460907
A smart poster for once.
>>343458731

Oldfag here, best RPG I'm playing since Ultima VII: Serpent Isle
I'm sure people who don't like W3 enjoy landfill simulators like Fallout 3 +
CDPR simply showed to the world how fucking incompetent the other video games studios are when it comes to RPGs
>>343458731
t. Bethesdrone
>>343460907
So it is the only rpg you have ever played.
>>343457176
They should. Though Bioware is run by pure hacks. The lore in the DA universe has great potential still. Would be better if they just gave the franchise to CDPR
>>343461831
Name 3 better ones in the last 10 years.
>>343461570
Fallout 4 is better than witcher 3
>>343461480
You could fit all 5 into mistakes about gameplay and role playing. Like the controls, combat, variety in combat which relates to character progression, development, etc
There is really no role playing in the game at all. It is more of an action adventure game with some leveling and gear.
>>343462737
Elaborate or b8
>>343462829
the soundtrack for fallout 4 alone makes it better than witcher.
>>343458731
because it has no brown people
game of the decade
playing wither 1 enhanced for the first time and in chapter 4
got a question: is witcher 2 any good? or should i jump to 3 after 1
1 is good but feels claustrophobic, the ratio of world size to shit to do in said world is so off
>>343463131
Witcher 2 sets up the narrative for Withcer 3.
It is also 100 times more fun to play than Witcher 1.
>>343463131
2 is amazing, it's like playing a well written fantasy novel and it looks better than 3 in some places.
>>343463131
play through 2. it's the worst of the series, but still worth the play. It's not a bad game. I beat it three times. Twice to get both endings and a third time just out of hype for the third game last year.
btw act 4 is max comfy anon.
all you people saying that tw3 is a good rpg. have you played FONV or vampire the masquerades bloodline or dx? because those are good roleplaying games with good roleplaying mechanics. tw3 has the same roleplaying as me3 or fo4.
>>343463539
go to bed grandpa.
>>343463539
you're a full blown retard to think witcher 3 isn't a good rpg.eat shit
>>343463539

>>343459431

>>343463539
Have you played Fallout 1 or Arcanum or NWN? Don't talk to me about rpg's child.
>Going to
Is Bioware going to keep this terrible series going? I guess regurgitating the same garbage is much easier than making new games for once.
>>343463938
>>343463885
a typical quest in FONV has 3 or 4 ways to finish it. getting into new Vegas you can sneak I through sewers, or take the monorail, ir join a caravan going into nv, or having 2000 caps to show at the door, or having 80 science to hack the security not, or talking to the hobo ghoul, or buying a fake pass. compare that to 90% of the quests in tw3 where you're options are "yes" or no"
>>343457176
Dragon Age is continuing at all?
>>343458731
Because it panders to people who get boners over pixels instead of SJW homosexuals.
>>343464158
They think tumblr specials are buying the games but now that the usual rpg demographic has gotten wise to their faggotry the low sales of the next game will hopefully drive them to start writing good stuff again rather than pandering rubbish.
>>343460907
all the Witcher games improved on the previous iteration of combat though
it's just that of all the things CDPR improved with each game, combat was the lesser
hopefully they step it up with Cyberpunk
>>343460907

Truly groundbreaking.
>>343463539
>have you played FONV or vampire the masquerades bloodline or dx?
TW3 is as good as those RPGs but they all share the same flaw: shitty combat.
>>343462941
if we're judging games based on soundtracks then Age of Conan is the best game in the world
>If we say our next game will draw inspiration from OTHER GAME then probably some of the most retarded fans of OTHER GAME will notice and buy our heap of shit
Does anyone fall for this? At all?
>>343464385
Mass Effect Andromeda will probably still make a profit, so I doubt they'll stop soon. TOR was their biggest blunder but I doubt that'll ever happen again.
>>343464619
Try that shit in Hearts of Stone and see where it gets you.
>>343464684
Me:A now with microtransactions that you always wanted.
>>343464619
t. Never played the game
Even on normal difficulty there are plenty of enemies that punish you for that and as the game goes on, virtually all of them do
>>343464849
And FemPaki
if Witcher 3 had the variety and scaling of Dark Souls enemies with a mix of Souls and Dragon's Dogma combat and mechanics it would pretty much be the perfect game for me
still one of my all time favorite games, even with the mediocre combat, shit armor and weapon scaling, bad economy, rushed final act of main story and somewhat repetitive contract quests, all the other stuff was just so good it made up for any negatives (in my opinion)
>>343464867
Maybe if the combat wasn't dogshit and not worth going through for the amazing story I wouldn't have quit 10 hours in.
>>343465152
The combat suits the character perfectly. Explain what you'd rather Geralt was doing in a fight?
>>343465270
People want geralt to cast fireballs and have optional dagger stealth combat and climb on enemies and so on and on..
They dont care about books.
I always wonder why people always complain that the witcher 3's combat is super boring and you only use light attack. Almost any third person sword/axe/spear game you can play only using light attack (yes I'm looking at you dark souls, which is objectively easier to beat the whole thing only using light attack than witcher). The Witcher 3 is an rpg. A role-playing game where you play as a bad ass monster killer. The point of the combat is to use your signs, potions, environment, etc to kill your enemies in the best possible way.
The combat should be played like Devil May Cry and other combo type games. Why should I only use light attack on all 4 of these humans I'm fighting when I could, burn one of them alive with igni firestream, knock one down and stab them in the chest with aard, dodge the arrows of the archer in the back and run him down and finish him off with a flurry of blows, then stun the last cowering man with axii and instantly finish him with a heavy blow.
The game and combat is hella fun if you don't run around autistically using only light attack.
>>343465940
>I always wonder why people always complain that the witcher 3's combat is super boring and you only use light attack.
They play on normal.
>>343457176
Bioware said they'd be taking inspiration from Skyrim for Dragon Age, and we got Shitquisition. It's somehow worse in every way.
>>343466407
But they didn't lie, it was perfectly designed for a gamepad and had no role play elements at all.

I wanna get into the Witcher
Should I play through all the games? I've heard pretty bad things about TW1
>>343462737
Bwahahahaha. No.
>>343468002
No. Just go buy Skyrim. It has more active users on Steam.
>>343468002
if you like games like guild wars 1, kotor, morrowind you will definitely like it. If you want a more fully open world game with more modern combat like dark souls, then play TW3. TW2 is kind of a balance between the two
>>343468169
By that logic Call of Duty is the best shooter ever.
EA will never give Bioware the time or resources to put the amount of craftsmanship into their games as CDPR put into TW3. I doubt Bioware even has the talent left at their studio to do it if they were allowed.

>>343464248
That's the difference in those games' design
Fallout quests give you 8 different ways to do them but they all lead to the same one or two outcomes and 95% of quests don't affect anything afterwards
Witcher 3 quests have fewer choices but those choices actually have impacts on other quests and the world in general more often than not
>>343468403
Is pretty good anon, and there's no one going around saying its under or overrated, is just right.
>>343464248
You mean exactly how the books are? Geralt doesn't sneak. He accepts his bounty. Sets up. Drinks pots. Fights monster. Claims bounty. He doesn't spend money to make his problems go away because he wants to make money period.
>>343468002
play all of them and see for yourself.
witcher 1 has weird combat but the best atmoshpere. also, 1st two chapters are sloggy, but after that it's godlike.
2nd is said to be the worst, which only says how great the franchise is. it still beats most rpg's of the time
3 ruined rpg genre for me, nothing is good after i played it.
i'm gonna redo the trilogy.
>>343468002
You don't 'need' to play all three, and W1 gameplay wise is an increasing slog depending on your tolerance for older games mechanics wise, starts sloow, was their first game,. and shows.
2's a lot of the same ideas 3 builds off, easier to playtrhough,
Really though as long as you are willing to accept the game had 2 prior games of stuff/read the actual character pages you can easily start with 3. Just understand W3 isn't goign to drop everything to intro old characters to you the second they apepar, but it will let you talk to them to get these details later or shortly later.
>>343464903
Are they going to make the male version of the character uncanny so that we play as a woman?, or will you no longer choose the sex of your character because is sexist.
>>343468373
I don't even think you can blame new bioware's stupidities on Ea anymore. EA certainly made them what they became, but They are the ones digging their grave further now. Everyoen worth a shit abandoned the ship after DA:O at the latest, and the only people left are various forms of yesmen, noncreatives, and leftover newbies from EA hirings.
>>343469226
ME4 is gonna suuuuuuck and we all know it.
>>343465152
plough yourself, whoreson
>>343463539
I started to play Fallout New Vegas but found it to be buggy mess with a bland story and clunky gameplay. Quit after 2 or 3 hours and never looked back. For some reason the deranged autists found here on /v/ told me that it was better than Skyrim. The truth is that Fallout New Vegas doesn't hold a candle to it let alone The Witcher 3.
>>343469665
it's going to be Inquisition in space. it will do nothing outright wrong compared to what ME3 did, but it will avoid the fuck out of the main plot the entire time, be nothing but safe decisions, and be as milquetoast with space gays as possible.
It will be competent enough the dicksuckers can feed themselves biowares back, but it'll undersell and do nothing to restore any jaded fans faith in the IP.
>both Dragon Age Inquisition and Bloodborne got blown the fuck out by W3
No wonder there's so much shitposting about it
>>343468002
Play 1 and 2.
Read the books
Play 3
1 has the worst gameplay, but so many amazing moments that it´s worth it to endure.
>>343464586
>hopefully they step it up with Cyberpunk

>>343463539

>>343470164
the combat is just the easiest and most obvious shitposting target for W3, because it's the part almost nobody will defend.
>>343463539
Deus Ex and Fallout and first person shooters
I fucking hate how people just call fucking anything with some vague stat related shit as RPGs these days, you may as well call CoD an RPG because it has perks
>>343470265
except that cdpr doesn't talk about it, and they keep announcing more witcher stuff
>>343470371
Could it be better? Sure, but is it offensively awful? No it isn't. People who claim it's the worst thing ever are shitposters or underage who have never played a truly awful game.
>>343462941
Everything about Fallout 4 was bad including the music which was disgustingly inferior to new Vegas.
>>343470352
that would at least be funny. having played inquisition i can tell you the reality is nowhere near as stupid or troll worthy.
it'll be mostly filler/fetch tier quests that don't really world build large but forgettable areas. playing characters who ar likewise competent, but not interesting (I also bet you money the few 'new' skills will be bomb/trap oritend, rest generic archetype skills and reused ones. hair will look terrible, but they will add male and female hair to both creation wise (it'll hide there's actually less hairs overall.) etc.
So basically i store off dragon age after that shit show ANOTHER WAVE! that was da2
Is da3 a decent game, if only from a gameplay perspective? Are the sjw shits that i read about really in your face? I fucking don't want to have to experience gay and faggot party members.
I'll be playing on ps4
>>343470718
because they 'just' recently finished the last DLC they'd promised for their expansion pass, that already seemed to take forever and it's now at the buggy as fuck need to now fix it stage?
why would they reveal Cyberpunk anything right now? Blood and wine was a dsend off DLC, nows the time for everyone to have their final hoorahs with Geralt and see him off how they want, then rest and think back on the journey. for CDPR as much as for us.
>>343461095
That has below average gameplay
>>343471490
>Is da3 a decent game, if only from a gameplay perspective?
No, it's a pretty terrible action rpg.
>Are the sjw shits that i read about really in your face?
I didn't finish it but it wasn't that bad.
>I fucking don't want to have to experience gay and faggot party members.
Probably best to avoid it.
>>343471490
it's mediocre bland but competent. it avoids the shit padding that ANOTHER WAVE! was, and doesn't butcher the story tot he ways Da2 did, but everything the equivalent of fantasy milquetoast, bland safe trite.
it will not restore faith in Bioware, it will not restore faith if da2 ruiend the ip for you. but if just enjoy western fantasy rpgs as something to amuse yourself it'ss ok enough, it'll get enoguh value to jsutify purchase price around 30 or so bucks assuming GOTY added, jsut in a quantity sense, not quality.Ther'es no need to keep Sera after you get the stupid bee jar from her table mission, if you want to dump her but are a complitionist do so after that. She adds NOTHING to the game.
>>343460907
>objectively
If it weren't for triggering my autism with your shitty usage of a word I'd agree 100%.
>>343471490
The actual gameplay is pretty awful and very clearly designed for controllers, but the character interaction is good and the plot is passable to good. You can completely avoid recruiting the gay characters, and they aren't that terribly written in the first place (Dorian is written as a character first with his sexuality coming second, and Iron Bull is a hypermasculine caricature who fucks anything with a hole so whatever).
if you can find it on PS4 for like 10 dollars it's worth it, just force yourself to get through the Hinterlands as fast as possible because yes it does suck. I don't know why they used that zone as the first real impression of the game.
>>343472194
The only truly terrible inquistion character is Sera, and for the life of me i'm never fully sure if she's a meta joke on tumblrs they completely botched through ineptness, or if they really thought she was witty and interesting a s a concept. coruse since her being lesbian was supposedly a butthurt requirement from her writer I expect it's the latter. realyl says somethigns he's the only character who can be kicked out of the party at any time, ever the entire game.
Rest were pretty normal for bioware characters, post Ea, kind amediocre one note's that sometimes worked, usually meh.
>reading The Witcher books
>he traced his sword in a semi-circle

>>343472716

>"social justice warrior" who fights for the rights of the oppressed and the poor
>she's actually just a selfish stupid ugly whore who uses "muh nobles" to justify her petty thievery and her abuse of people she's jealous of
She IS tumblr, which is why I'm pretty sure none of them actually like her.
>>343473049
Actually tumblr loves her because she's a poor lesbian who is silly and wacky, and an elf. I just know she's the onyl character that's able to be kicked out of the game at any time, and that she was originalyl meant to be bi but her pure lesbo state was evidently the person writing her demanding non stop.
the only people i've seen actually romance her are either tumblr lesbian types, or men who only 'play' female characters and go lesbian with them every time.
>>343473682
At least they fixed the focus exploit with her so you can pretend she doesn't exist.
>>343472973
No
Unfortunately it's just one of those things that's lost to anyone outside of the culture.
>>343458731
Because TW3 panders to neckbeards. DA panders to SJWs.
>>343462737
said no one, ever
>>343457176
How is the series supposed to continue when DA:I sold so badly people lost their jobs over it?
>>343457176
It will be very hard for Bioware.
>>343473772
though i'm pretty sure they never fixed the more than default consumables bug. if you ever restock her to full or any character with more than the default consumables, the second you fast travle or map change the game eats the extra consumables, so she's still bugged.
the only thing you 'need' from her is the Jar of bees recipe from her first mission.
>>343474108
perfect example of 'passion vs job'
the witcher models all have this clear level of even perverse attention to detail modeling and even being willing to make one off models.
bioware make ONE male body, ONE female body, and then 'all' distinct character design is face only.
>>343474108
>multi-million dollars budget

Like it was already clear Andromeda was going to tank from the reveal trailer and the news that they insist on forcing their new female protagonist above all else, in spite of the fact that the majority of players played the last series as a male.
>>343474423
They remodeled her after that one Tranny cosplayer in inquisition and doesn't actually fit given she should look older. it's more that Inquisition has so many bad faces, a halfway acceptable botched tranny face can look good.
DA:O Concept Morrigan was best but concept Morgan doesn't do justice to Cluadia Black older seductress voice.
>>343474423
Still, not eben close to Witcher.
>>343460907
>Witcher 3 had the best combat system of any WRPG every made.
I can't even compare it to how many different combat systems exist in wrpgs
rtwp, party turn based, blobbers, even diablo clones
these are all way too different to be compared
>>34347444
it's a lazy attempt to make the game harder. Base game bandits can't do that and you could as a result rush gib archers before they drew the sword.
pretty much all the expansion enemies use lazy tricks to be harder (long invincible states, shock wave knockback/knockdowns, arachnomorphs do nothing but backpedal if you lock on to them, kikimora do 'toxicity' damage you therefor can't prevent, Detlaff has an instant kill. etc)
>>343474717
In a hilarious twist of irony they even have realistically prominent chins and jawlines, only done in an attractive way like Bioware never could accomplish.
>>343468854
that doesnt mean it sets up roleplaying opportunities at all
>>343470575
have you played them? rpgs aren't defined to stats like you just said
also rpg and fps aren't mutually exclusive
>>343474108
honestly w3 had a huge dev team and a triple a budget
>>343457176
At this point, this is what I would like to see
>transition from an RPG lite into an RPG real time strategy game
>up to ten party members with the ability to use them all at once
>hex based movement system
>large open areas
>emphasis on pausing the game to issue commands
>>343475042
the slavs clearly get that beauty can be found in imperfections (I mean there's like one common girl you get a quest from, ahs a flat out Schnoz and it actually makes her CUTE somehow, or dkjikstra's bathhouse has a young fat woman naked model, used NOWHERE else.
Bioware 'design' purely from utility. they use stock bodies for each gender so all outfits can fit all models, same hair for everyone then every 'detail' of design is in the face alone.
>implying they arent already
>you play as a member of an exclusive organization that exists to protect the world from a bunch of evil magic dudes
which game am I describing?
>>343475375
no one doubts it had budget, but it's budget wasn't as big as it's competitors, and delivered a LOT higher by comparison despite being non American effectively nobody tier studio before.
AAA western studios waste SO much money on everything BUT the actual game development and dev staff. just putting a portion of that money intot he part that matters made a huge difference.
>>343475381
>hex based movement system
>emphasis on pausing the game to issue commands
why would you want a grid system for real time with pause combat?
also some of the older rtwp games had parties up to 8. Temple of Elemental Evil for example
Might as well just ask here, I started B&W and I'm hunting down the Grandmaster stuff. But I'm noticing that when I complete the quests I'm only getting certain pieces of sets. Like to get the Grandmaster Griffin all I got were the gloves, the pants, and the steel sword. Am I missing something?
>>343476014
the grand master hunts are multipart, every location you go to has a note or something similar to say where the next parts are.
if you read the flavor text notes throughout each set has a story attached to the owner about how they ended up doing the quest for the smith, and the locations you are going to are places they visited on their related journey.
also i think you get better payout form the smith if you wait until getting all the gear before turn in.
>>343475787
Honestly I like parties of about 5. it gives you the three core roles and 2 for whatever your gimmick strat mindset wants. 4 just feels like the holy trinity and whatever tag along, and more than 5 is just specialists army.
>>343476283
I figured out that I got some of the Cat gear before I took the quest. When I asked the dude about it he never mentioned anymore Cat gear, and the game said I already had 1/5 done for collecting the diagrams. I'm doing the Griffin one now and it is indeed multipart.
>>343476426
youre right
4-6 is a great amount. anything with a few frontliners, a ranger, offensive mage, and a healer is all right with me
>>343475381
This would be nice, but anything not an indie doing this would be committing commercial suicide thanks to the way the market(players) are today.

Has the combat in TW3 gotten any better since release? I stopped playing because of how dogshit it is. I like everything else about it tho
>>343476975
Not really no, it's still the same AC tier garbage than CDPR remedies by throwing 30 enemies at you in every fight.
>>343474298
It's not merely passion vs job, it's competence vs incompetence.
Bioware devs just don't give a fuck. It's the same deal with bethesda - they don't care about the shit they do being a reflection of their own skill or abilities. They take the lazy and easy route.
CDPR devs actually gave a fuck and it shows.

Because those games have been out for decades/years and there's nothing that can be done to change how the play, and back then that shit was fine. Not so much for W1
>>343477815
because RPG fans clearly want something other than combat with a higher preference, thus they will 'accept' mediocre or terrible combat if that other thing is good enough.
it's the same way an action game will accept utterly worthless chaarcters and stories if the core gameplay is THAT good, because gameplay is higher on their priority list than story.

>>343478137
but you could compare ps:t and arcanum and even fallout to baldurs gate, two of which even share the same engine
you could just as easily compare witcher 1 and morrowind to gothic just the same
>>343477815
Who the fuck just accepts these? like every single morrowind thread is guaranteed to get a "le miss miss miss simulator xd" post or twelve.

>you could just as easily compare witcher 1 and morrowind to gothic just the same
The Witcher came out in 2007, it had no excuse.
>>343468514
Combat, repetitive side quests, absolutely no variety, empty open world and shitty bosses
>>343462813
>it's not an RPG because i cant play as Le Original Character Donut steal
fuck off.
>>343478698
mediocre cast, forgettable abilities, terrible 'specializations' as well can go on that list.
>>343478834
what's really worth pointing out is Geralt as a pre built character with a pre history and personality has more 'releplay' ability in his game for the player than F4's lead, an entirely created by the player OC

There's no need to beat the dead horse, anon, he only asked for five.

and im not even talking about the main storyline yet.

wow.......... is this a real life photograph or a video game?? honestly can't tell......................
>>343479538
dont try to argue with them, theyre a bunch of teenagers who played this game on normal and got jewed by that ghost lady in the tower so now theyre a little upset
>>343474108
Nice cherry picking.
>>343466970
>Went downhill since Origins
If by hill you mean slight hump in the ground. Origins is a piece of shit too, Anon.
Ugly, clunky, dumb/unoriginal fucking classes, only one good character (and she's DLC at that), and the game was literally designed to peddle DLC to you IN GAME...
>>343475587
Not Witcher that's for sure. They're monster hunters who do it for money. They don't fight ancient evils unless it's for a hefty sum and they don't give a shit about the "greater good".
Bioware ripped off GOT Night Watch by their own admission.
>>343480205
>Can't romance her
Bravo Bioware.
>>343479538
The combat is really bad though. Not that anon, but you're willing to admit that right?
>>343470371
Can anyone even explain to me what is so bad about TW3's combat? Shit is good as fuck, even 90+ hours into the game.
I honestly feel the people claiming it is bad don't even know you can parry attacks or that there are two different dodges you can perform. Have they even thrown a bomb mid combat?
>>343480801
I don't think it's unfair to admit the character controls and the combat are probably the weakest part of the game. If we wanna be objective.
>>343480620
This, Geralt wouldn't give fuck about the wild hunt if it wasn't for his personal beef with them,
they are pretty much regarded as an unstoppable force of nature that strikes without warning and disappears just as fast as they showed up in the world of the witcher.
>>343458731
It doesn't though, that why it gets a pass for its own mistakes
>>343480945
It's just bland, it's caught in between not being over the top and fun enough to be batman combat, to not being serious and autistic enough to be dark souls, or something of the like type of combat.
There's nothing tense about it, it all feels clunky, and a bunch of the talents feel useless, have you tried a full melee build? It's probably the worst feeling thing in the game.
Not saying it's the worst combat ever, but it's definitely the weakest part of an otherwise excellent game.

>Dragon Age had a year to itself and still got BTFO by Witcher 3
Hilarious.
>>343471603
Nah. It has some of the better gameplay in RPGs, you're being overdramatic. With all the trash Japan churns out ironic that the same standards aren't held in the threads about them.
>>343462941
Entire Halo series has a better soundtrack than both FO4 and TW3.
>>343481357
Just because it's the best gameplay out of all RPGs doesn't mean it's good or fun. I get what you're saying about Japanese garbage being praised on this site, but that doesn't change the fact that it's just not that great. It's completely passable, but if this was any other game the combat would be ripped apart.
>>343462941
>>343481453
Yeah, nah. Fallout 4 and Halo are both total trash in every aspect.
>>343480801
>>343481214
Combat is Average yeah, but ill also admit im having a lot more fun once i set the game to death march + level scaling, running into a group of 15+ bandits can be hell if you aren't prepared to take them on/ you're lacking in healing potions. but is still entirely possible, most bandits will still take you out in 3-4 swings but once you get good at dodging you can dance around like the omen of death taking niggas out left and right, but you always goota watch for that one cunt trying to blindside you because one interruption you your 'flow' can end the fight prematurely. It becomes a very High risk + High reward thing, and i have had multiple fight lasting 10+ minutes that feel really satisfying once I've taken everyone out.
after the pure faggetry that was dragon age inquisition i doubt they will be selling many more games
>>343468791
>Witcher 3 quests have fewer choices but those choices actually have impacts on other quests and the world in general more often than not
2 is literally the only witcher game where this is true
>>343481646
Are you using whirlwind/rend and your signs? You should be able to mow through groups rather fast with these techniques.
Honestly NG+ with Level Scaling makes the game a lot of fun for me. With upgraded potions and oils nearly everything is easy to chip down with the right preparation and techniques, and a timesink without them; which is how it should be.

Dragon Age is a dead series. Even buying GOTY from that one award show didn't make anybody care about Inquisition. The future is mobile games at best.

didn't bloodbourne come out the year prior?
