What went wrong?
Almost nothing
Well, most of its greatest flaws are in one way or another related to open world design. It should have been hub-based, that's just about it.

This, if it was a bit more like 1 and 2 in that respect it would have been much better, maybe something like DAO where you could revisit areas and shit would have been good too .
Still a great game despite it's flaws tho.

Nice going anon,you had one job.
Downgrade, poor optimization, average combat.
Even with all that, it excelled everywhere else and it's one of my favorite RPG games ever, and certainly my 2015 GOTY. And I thought for sure that MGS5 would be it, since I loved every Metal Gear game and thought the first two Witchers were just alright at best.
I can't play it, something about Mircosoft visual c++. Stuck on initializing

Witcher outsold Last Of Us by 2 millions
>>343571075
It played exactly like Dork Souls, same lock-on combat with no skill required by the user and the same shitty 3rd person camera.
>>343571515
No it didn't, Witcher 3 just hit 10 million, Last of Us past that well over a year ago on just PS3/PS4. Never mind Witcher 3 being on PC, PS4 AND Xbox One.
I just don't like the clunky controls
>>343568173
-batman vision instead of more handcrafted enviroments that show you what to do/where to go.
-combat
-clunky character controller and animation blendspace
-[shove Sigi aside forcefully], Keira Metz dialogue in Fyke Isle, also that elf dude with the facepaint. A lot of the dialogue ends with violence in a snap.
-It felt like I had to rush through the main quest and the end left me with a lot of questions
- going back and forth, back and forth again and again in circles.
-qtest grill is an OP marysue, but at least she doesn't treat Geralt like an idiot most of the time
there's nothing else like it tho, it was nice. respect to CDPR for dealing with such a sheer volume of work

Not after TW3. The people who like it are the same people who liked Skyrim and FO4. The "I like playing RPGs" crowd that actually only like action games with light RPG elements.
>>343572179
They put Witcher3 at something like 3m sales, which is obviously wrong
There's no source whatsoever for the LoU numbers and searching "Last of us" will give absolutely nothing
So I must conclude that they're talking out their asses and that W3 did outsold LoU
>>343572517
Mediocre source is better than no source at all
>>343572315
sure it wasn't a big problem but still, Geralt approaches most people with a clenched fist. I'm a pussy diplomat, sucks for me

>>343572778
>Mediocre source is better than no source at all
I did provide a source, VGchartz. Your source was from August 2014. That's literally less than 10 days after it released on PS4 (July 29th).

In March 2016, developer CD Projekt Red reported that the game has shipped nearly 10 million copies worldwide
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Witcher_3:_Wild_Hunt#Sales
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MyMiT4OUy4
Here are the actual LoU number :
By August 2014, the game had sold eight million copies: seven million on PlayStation 3 and one million on PlayStation 4

I'm sorry if you felt hurt anon
>>343573817
There was plenty, treasure hunts, side quests notice boards, monster nests, person in distress, bandit camps, shops,you can spend hours just exploring to see what you can do, looking for gear loads of stuff to do

Not even him but come the fuck on dude. You're using a dated source that literally only accounts for the first sales of TLoU on PS4 (it sold over a million in ONE DAY).
TLoU is likely well over 10 million at this point. Why does this make you so mad?
>>343574146
>treasure hunts
they were all worthless treasures
>side quests notice boards
you don't need open world for this
>monster nests
again, worthless fetch-quest type of collectibles
>person in distress
again, absolutely worthless since they never had anything good to sell and you never even knew where to find them afterwards
>bandit camps
killing bandits is okay i guess. never had anything worthwhile in them either though
>shops
any shop outside of the big cities has fuck all
>looking for gear
there is no need to look for gear when Witcher gear exists.
>>343568173
They stuck with a fast attack strong attack style like 2.
They should have tried to implement different stances like they had in 1, but with both mouse buttons being necessary for combos or fighting certain monsters/humans.
>>343574187
>LoU shipped 10 millions I swear, it's real in my mind
Oh my sweet summer child
>>343574312
Then why did CDPR announce that they're nearing 10 millions while Sony didnt ?
That's because TLoU is a 2013 game and no one buy it anymore, it capped at 8m and it's not gonna get any higher

>>343574359
I guess it's what you like to do. I do have a sort of OCD to collect things maybe that's why I found it so fun. But cat school gear etc is worth exploring for

>>343574596

Why would SOny? Naughty dog are the ones who do it and they rarely give updates on their games sales outside of the first day/week.

>>343574874
If it had horse riding from metal gear solid 5 then it would be brilliant. But apart from the odd glitch with roach losing half his body I don't find it that bad
>>343574991
>implying no other games experience glitches
>>343575164>tfw you get confused for some namefag
>>343574874
I love the game and yeah this is valid. They released an alternate movement response thing that makes on foot controls more bearable, but the horse controls remain shit.
>>343575261
The problemas are that it stops at even the smallest obstacle, it doesn't automatically jump over fences and such, and sometimes the automatic galloping interferes with the controls, and that the automatic galloping should follow always the path marked in the map, instead of just choosing randomly if you have two divergent roads in front of you.
Also, in Touissant, there's some very steep curves, and automatic galloping doesn't turn Roach fast enough, and more than once I almost fell down the cliffs.
>>343574891
>Why would SOny?
Maybe because they gave updates at 1.3m, 3.4m and 8m
But somehow TLoU broke 10 millions and Sony is nowhere to be found, pretty weird huh ?
Case was settled 3 posts ago, W3 outsold TLoU by 2 millions
Which is not a big deal really, but somehow this fact sent you into a spiral of autism and meme reaction image
>>343568173

The game requieres a powerful CPU, and that's precisely the weak spot of the new consoles.

Sony never gave reports. Recheck your sources. Sony never officially commented on the 8 million

>>343575554
The only one being mad is you.
Why is VGchartz any less reliable than whatever source you provided (which is unironically wikipedia)?
You really think TLoU only sold 1 million on PS4 (1 million is literally what it sold in 1 day)? You really think TLoU only sold copies in its first 24 hours then sales just completely stopped?
Why is the fact that TLoU sold more than Witcher 3 making you so mad? Skyrim outsold the entire Witcher series and has a higher metacritic, does that make you mad too?
>>343574809
such as?
because other than witcher gear, which you get from quests, there's nothing worthwhile in the open world in terms of loot.
>>343575962
>Skyrim outsold the entire Witcher series and has a higher metacritic, does that make you mad too?

If yes, you have serious issues
It's just 2 millions, I dont understand why you'd sperg out over it
>>343576103
I'm not the guy who you replied to but I think one main reason is because of the mods for it which the witcher doesn't and without mods it still has lots of people play in it (the witcher)

And, as always, the first reply is perfect.
Novigrad got really slow, but otherwise, great game, and amazing DLCs too.

I thought it was one of the only open world games to do open world well. The world had lots happening with npcs and animals, side quests, contracts and hidden treasure shit.
My main complaint is retarded ass roach doing whatever he feels like and spawning in stupid places.
>>343576828
Not really, the open world is great, and Novigrad is one of the few cities in RPGs that feels like a city, and has a NPC count which resembles the population of a city.

It has 5 million sales total on VGchartz (VGchartz doesn't include Digital sales) and that fits perfectly with this source.

Keep in mind that this source was from when the consoles had sold around 4~ million and that fits perfectly with the 10 million shipped that they recently proposed.

>>343576828
>So CDPR are shit at open world
I found Velen extremely enjoyable. The care and detail and number of things you can find was amazing, nothing like riding your horse without a clear purpose and just stumble upon this old ruind with cave that leads to surprise boss fight.

>>343577298
Yes, and they're always mares. Otherwise her name would've looked dumb in Polish since it's distinctly feminine (Płotka).
The gameplay was not designed to complement the open world design of the game. This is something many big title open world games do today.
It would be much better if they made you play a random witcher.
Imagine if there was an open world witcher game where you play as a random witcher roaming different lands (hubs) that have quests with storylines that intertwine like in White Orchard and the game being designed to give you a rough witcher experience.
Traveling from town to town, city to city, looking for work to earn the little coin you get so you can keep your stomach full and rest somewhere else than the hard cold ground.
The entire witcher concept could be used so much better in this medium.

>Traveling from town to town, city to city, looking for work to earn the little coin you get so you can keep your stomach full and rest somewhere else than the hard cold ground.
Doesn't the game already pretty much do this? The whole quest to search for Ciri is basically an excuse for Geralt to meet all sorts of people and hunt all breeds of monsters.

Embarrassing
>>343576660
I'm assuming your complaints are inability to backtrack and all the areas being structured as though they were a web of corridors (for example, when moving in the forest, you can't stray away from the patch).
Those are in no way inherent flaws in hub-based games. For starters, the area design could have been pretty much exactly the same as it's in TW3 (the entire Novigrad being one area for example), simply with empty stretches of nothingness or unthematic non-content like bandit camps stuffed full of witcher gear (because devs felt obliged to add something there) removed from between.
Same with the backtracking problem. For example, TW1 had limited backtracking (the first quarter of Vizima and the swamp weren't closed to you in Act 3, for example). Indeed, something like TW1 or Dragon Age: Origins is exactly what I'd want to see.

The criticism of open world games comes mainly from Bethesda style open world games (skyrim, fallout 4) where the world is nice and pretty but completely bland and empty in terms of the player being able to purposefully use this setting. Metal gear solid 5 also got a lot of criticism for this, that game legitimately didn't use its open world very well as there was really no point in adding it, most of the missions were started as a result of helicopter rides to mission areas, not as a result of organically exploring the open world itself.
Witcher 3 is different because the developers actually put a lot of content and interesting stuff out in the world. You could actually walk around and find interesting landscapes, unique monsters and quests if you took the time. It's not perfect obviously but much better than other open world titles recently.
>>343571754
If they cut out ciri and had niilfguard be a little more brutal then it would have improved the game 10 fold and I would easily forgive ALL the other issues. I enjoyed W2 SOLELY for the story, I remember trying to play it when I first bought the game and got bored in the first swamp village, but then after upgrading my PC and eliminating that weird stutter, I enjoyed the game immensely. Can't say the same for W3, felt way more cliched and the antagonists were almost cartoon like.

I think he got driven mad in that he thought that Witcher 3 would be the game to finally beat Skyrim only for it to be BTFO on almost every virtual level which in turn drove him to insanity and shitpost Witcher 3 out of spite.

>That's fucking stupid.
How is that stupid? This means that no matter what you'll always get a fair challenge when encountering enemies where dodging and hitting right counts more than raw stats. It's pretty good.
>One of my biggest gripes with the game is running around exploring and getting oneshot by a fucking ghoul because he happens to be 5 levels higher.
This is RPG 101 since forever. If you're a scrub you don't go to zones meant for veterans.
>>343568496
Agree but only slightly, mostly disagree.
But i'm one of those people who got really into the books and the witcher 3 is for me a "Geralt Simulator" I get to roam the country side taking bounties and killing monsters Like Geralt would.

These zones are right next to zones appropriate for your level.

>>343577702
Yes, but I'm talking more about the entire gameplay being designed around this concept.
>Having to eat to not starve
>Needing a bed to get proper rest
>Saving money for the rare ingredients to make your potions and decoctions
>Getting a reputation will alter how the npc's treat you
>Weather affecting your character
The Witcher 3 doesn't do this to the extent it could and in my opinion should. You are never really short on money and you don't need it for other than gear.
Imagine if you had to eat to not starve, being short on money and having to decide how to use it to make it through the game. Needing to sleep in a bed to restore your stamina, but being denied it because of either lack of money, descriminated against or the innkeeper having something against you for something you did in a quest.
What I'm trying to say is that generic games are more focused on telling you a story in a more movie like way, when this medium is supposed to make you experience the world they create.
>>343579245
OH GOD NO
So, who actually banged this bitch apart from newfags to the franchise who thought she was hot?
>>343579265
Good to know you don't actually have a valid argument.
>>343579175
Sorry, you can't fool me. I've been playing it these days and what you say simply doesn't happen. The game puts you on the upper-part of Velen and everything around that position is made it so you won't encounter stupidly strong enemies.
The lvl25 ghouls town you mention is somewhat to the lowest corner of the map where it's pretty clear the zone's not meant for starting players.
I never once encountered a low level quest that forced me to go through high level areas I couldn't handle.
Are the books any good?
Should i try 1 and 2 before 3?

Well it is "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" and not some "Witcher: A Side Story" or something.
>>343579370
Your argument is retarded. You literally complaining because you're too shit to walk past high lvl enemies. Skyrim scales for pussies like you bro. Go play it. Not every game is made with the disabled in mind.
>>343568173
The reviews for this prove how low the standard for WRPGs is now.
>>343579045
It's not just special monsters, the southern part of Velen is really hit or miss, either you have level 2-3 cannibal tribes or bandits around levels 6-7 then you have a level 24 arch griffin that flies directly over the road, a pack of level 12 Wraiths and so on. It makes clearing out an area borderline impossible without advancing the main story and coming back to those zones with inflated stats.
What's even worse is having a level 6 quests like Fool's Gold throw level 12 monsters at you, that shit pissed me off to no end.
>>343579358

Bookfags needs to go, people have known Triss more than Yen since Triss was in the earlier games while Yen was only mentioned.

I got hooked into 3 without playing the two games before, but yeah, reading the books would be fine.
Then again, maybe try playing 3 first to be your own Geralt, and then read the books to see what he would actually do in the game.
>>343579272
not him but do you really want W3 to be a survival simulator?
It wouldn't feel right imo, though someone could mod some of the things you mentioned in right? How's the mod scene around this game?

If I recall correctly it was to get one of the Gwent players. The ghouls were in a town directly on the main road.
I believe there was also a high level griffin right before it.

First book is pretty amazing, basically Witcher1 or Witcher3 side missions put into story mode.
The others are fine, and you can understand a number of things about Geralt's world (Yennefer, that shapeshifter guy who got burned at the stake).
Also fucking Toussant.

That would be Witcher 3. It's literally a more cinematic version of Skyrim.

>Wait what? What monsters, the nekkers?
Yep, I remember the first pack having a level 12 nekker leader / warrior, whatever they were called and 5 lesser ones next to him.
>Well, maybe because those are high-level areas..?
The problem is that they're sprinkled in between low level areas, I have no issue with having higher level monsters on the corners of the map or in caves. But having something literally three times your level in between two bandit camps is moronic.
>>343579882
lol so mad
GOTY 2015, and Blood and Wine will probably be GOTY 2016.
Then again, Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne were failures, so not like there's any competition.
>>343579924
In the books Triss is pretty clearly a third-wheel. There's even that part at the dinner party where Yen scares her out of the way with little effort.
She took advantage of the amnesia things (she even mentions so herself) but the real Geralt is a Yennefer man.
>>343580015
Yes, and if VGchartz was a credible source you should easily be able to find the raw data/numbers that they used.

Never happened to me, so I don't know what to say. When the game started it was pretty clear to me that the swamp+baron area was the zone meant for me to start with, I didn't take and go explore the farthest corners of the world.
By the way, the Fool's Gold was a dlc added quest, so it's possible it wasn't tuned well to people who just started playing.
>>343580316
t. mad Soulscuckie
>>343568173
The combat. The combat in Witcher is fucking HORRID especially because I played it right after Bloodborne. I just couldn't continue and dropped it in about 3 hours. Goddamn that combat is fucking terrible. Among the worst I can possibly think of.

Reminder Witcher 3 and Souls are casual baby franchises for people who need the game to play for them, hence the lock-on Banham combat they have.
