So it basically boils down to this, right? Which will be GOTY?
Its Ether MGSV, Witcher, OR Fallout anon.
those are your choices
>>317778840
Says who? MGS5 was unfinished, Fallout 4 is garbage.
How can a Victorian Dark Souls skin be even considered for goty? We've already played this game three fucking times. Are you people mad?
>>317778627
TW3 imo. no open world will surpass this in at least 10 years.
While anyone who's played both will agree that Bloodborne is the superior game, the fact that it's only available on one system hinders it greatly. Witcher 3 will win because of the PC/XBone vote, and the Casual vote.
>buy Bloodbourne because it looks like Van Hellsing type setting
>Victorian gothic environments, vampires, werewolves, things of that nature
>get aliens, squid people, squid demons, other bullshit
Witcher 3 is the best game this year followed by Until Dawn.
>>317778627
Bloodborne. W3 has dogshit combat
Sadly people will choose W3 cause it's on 3 platforms so more have played it
I forgot Bloodborne even existed.
Just started playing the Witcher 3, up to meeting the bloody Baron.
So far it has been an amazing game, combat is fun, quests are great and it's gorgeous.
Witcher 3 is nothing but a cheesy medieval soap opera with no gameplay.
GOTY is Pillars of Eternity.
>>317778627
>Witcher
>No Fallout
>No MGSV
>NoMKX
Bloodborne has slightly better gameplay but the witcher 3 has it beat in every other category plus it also had the better expansion. So I would say witcher 3 gets my goty.

Fallout 4 is the winner. No contest. Bloodborne is just Dark Souls gothic edition and The Witcher 3 is just a well made 3rd person game
>>317780264
Not really the gameplay in the witcher 3 is fine. Never understood the complaints about it.
RPGs are a genre for people who want to experience games as slowly and methodically as possible
It will be a cold day in hell when a fucking RPG is "game of the year", any year
Easy.
>>317780575
He's not wrong. I was playing the new expansion and it was nearly unplayable because of the frame rate dips that I kept getting in certain areas.

>>317780790

>>317780575
If you can't acknowledge the fact that Bloodborne is a fucking performance disaster you're a shiteating Sonydrone. I like Bloodborne but you can't tell me the regular FPS drops are acceptable AT ALL.
>>317780852
Ok then.
Explain to me why this game isnt a legit choice for Game of the Year without resorting to easy meme phrases like "Its tumblr". What are you even trying to say with such a statement? Lots of people liked it, so they kept posting their fanart, but thats a thing that doesnt have anything to do with the game itself but rather its fanbase.
Dont be a shitter and bring some actual arguments.
>>317778627
TW is fucking terrible
Dark Souls without shields should be GOTY
>>317780774

>inb4 not rpg
>>317781164
The sprites can be strikingly poor at times. The artstyle in general is scatterbrained and inconsistent as fuck.
>>317778840
Fallout is getting resounding "mehs" and MGS5 is literally unfinished and people hate the awful missions/grind.
>Thinking any game but fo4 gets the title.
/v/ is both retarded and delusional
I hated Dark Souls for its stiff, archaic controls. Is Bloodborne improved in that aspect or should I just pass on it as well?
One of these games can be played at better than 28fps. The other one is a PS4 exclusive.
Well, bye.
>>317780852
>Shit: The Post
Bloodborne was shite mate.
>>317781105
The game is, by far, the most stable Souls console release. It's not like DaS; there's no Blightown equivalent, and it's not like DeS either where rolling into barrels breaks the engine. In all my time playing I haven't seen the FPS dip below 25 or so, not since the original performance patch. This is why I find it hard to believe that someone who says something like "15fpsborne" is anything other than a shitposting master racer.
>>317778627
Finally someone gets it. I think it's hard to call. Conceptually Bloodborne was brilliant with great gamepay. Witcher was basically a masterpiece, but it didn't really surprise in any way. We all knew what we were getting with Witcher.
>>317781385
It is. Dodging is improved significantly. It's pretty much the same otherwise, though.
>>317781385
BB still operates on a lot of the same basic principles, but movement is way faster and combat rewards precise aggression rather than patient defense. The latter strategy just winds up being a waste of resources more often than not.
That said, if you're not already a Souls fan, I don't know if I can recommend it.
>>317781385
>stiff, archaic controls
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about so you're probably just a shitter and won't like Bloodborne either.
>>317781648
Hrrrm. It's on sale for like, 26 bucks right now. The idea of kicking the shit out of Lovecraftian abominations sounds legit.
>>317781351
On /v/ Maybe
>>317781721
Okay, THIS post may have just convinced me. I fucking hate that Dark Souls was parrying/dodging: the game. Combined with the unbearably sluggish attacks it just wasn't a fun game. A faster, smoother combat system is what was lacking.
>>317781164
not person you responded to but Undertale is not GOTY worthy
Gameplay isn't very good and the main reason people love it so much is because of the characters, story, and how things were set up
No, choosing to kill or to spare is not make it something special
It just sets you on the route you wanna go
There are better games with gameplay and with nice story attach to them
no, I won't say them because you already know deep down what they are
This is the only way for you to decide the true GOTY. Would you all agree? If not, do explain why.
>>317779124
>get literally both things

Fucking what?
>>317781380
>Failout 4
Combat was improved over Fo3/NV but that's literally it.
>>317781751
Its got lower review scores than both Witcher 3 and BB, and even MGS5. Not only that, every review has said its pretty meh.
>>317781489
It really wasn't though.
>>317781631
The moment you leave Iosefka's Clinic the fps drops to the low twenties. Granted I played with online on so maybe the glut of messages was the culprit, but it really isn't what I'd call stable. It has no Blighttown equivalent where the game completely shits the bed and drops to the single digits but it's dropping frames all over the place pretty consistently throughout the game. I have no idea how they managed to do that when the game barely looks better than DaS graphically.
>>317781348
I love Undertale and I agree with this guy more or less.
The artstyle bounces a lot at times. New Home itself is a very weird mixture of good and bad 2D art, and Frisk's Model is shit.
Alphys, I dont give two shits about the true lab and her becoming "redeemed," She is a shit character who stops the game dead in Hotland, gregariously padding the area to no end. Seriously, 75% of the bullshit in there is her.
Genocide runs can get through hotland in like 5 minutes and just farm the core for Genocide.
Seriously, She RUINS Hotland. Not even the music can save it.
>>317781883
If it's good even with hardware limitations, wouldn't it make it better that they managed making the game good on shit hardware?
>>317781858
the combat was plenty fast in Dark Souls and majority of the movesets had good speed, especially dex weapons
it's your fault if you weren't fast/DWGR rolling or using something stupidly large and bad like a great hammer
you won't like bloodborne, because it's just smoother dodging and more parrying but instead of the risk of being in melee range, you parry with guns at a safe distance
It's going to be between Fallout 4, MGSV, and Witcher 3. Most people have forgotten about Bloodborne. I'll give it to W3, while I acknowledge BB as having superior combat, I don't think From did enough to really justify calling it a new IP. W3 on the other hand is a much more ambitious game, and I like that.
>>317778627
Nah, my game of the year is MH4U.
Tons of content.
An entire year's worth of free DLC.
Amazing replayability. Have played 800 hours of this game. Haven't even touched some of the weapon classes yet.
Super challenging end-game.
No "cinematic experinence" bullshit or QTEs or anything like t hat.
100 percent fun pure gaming.
>>317782092
>If it's good even with hardware limitations
Only if it can match a PC game and every versatility it brings.That means infinite moddability, no DRM (most games can be bought on developer websites or GOG, if you hate steam) it must be compatible with all control schemes like KBM, it must allow you to change resolution, UI layout, etc. And that's just the basics.
Games like Bloodborne and Monster Hunter and Fallout are garbage because they can't do these basic things.
>>317781883
So no game will ever get GOTY?

Bloodborne doesn't have to do any of those things because it's an exclusive, silly.
>>317782451
Bloodborne is a souls game like any other. Except Dark Souls 2. Dark Souls 2 was shit.
Isn't the better award to discuss Best Waifu of the Year?
>>317780657

>Blooeborne doesn't have to maintain stable performance or have over 10 FPS
Okay.
>>317782056
I don't get why people hate Alphys, she's just a socially awkward otaku.
>>317782341
That has nothing to do with a "game", those features describe a program
So if we're judging programs of the year, yeah those features would make it POTY
>>317782616
>Blooeborne doesn't have to maintain stable performance or have over 10 FPS
It drops to 24 fps, at lowest, which is completely serviceable. There is only one point in the game where you will find preformance issues worse than that and it's crossing the initial bridge in old yharnam.
cool shitposting tho
This one.
>>317782690
I just literally explained why in as critical of a way as I could.
She slows the game down, pads it with bad jokes, and is generally an unfunny character. If it wasn't for Mettaton EX and the Core, all of Hotland would be shit.
>>317782701
>That has nothing to do with a "game", those features describe a program
Those "features" all directly enhance a game's quality and keep it from being unfairly restricted because of developer laziness. And for 50-60 bucks, you as a paying customer shouldn't be asking for any less. You and I deserve more for that price.
>>317782812
>It drops to 24 fps
Did you forget the swamps which drop your framerate to single digits, and took months to fix? And it still isn't completely fixed, as you suffer issues while going through it at any given rate.
But lets ignore that for a second. YOUR GAME CAN'T EVEN MAINTAIN 30 FPS?! And you gloat about it?
>>317782616
You must smoke heavily around your Ps4 if BB hit below 20 fps. Or possibly dropped it.
>>317781883
Kill yourself, ACfag
>>317782873
The only true answer. This will be infinitely better than any game that came out this year.
>>317782913
I think she's funny and the fact that she slows you down is funny in and of itself.
>>317781883
I couldn't disagree more. There is no definite checklist for what makes a game great. Many games widely regarded as masterpieces fail your test for some inane reason.
>no excess violence
>no anime
>fanbase must be good
>no fan art porn (???)
For what fucking reason? What does any of this have to do with a game's quality? Are you autistic?
>>317782934
My bloodbourne never hit single digits. Mine never even hit this 24 the other guys is mentioning. Modding capability doesn't make a game better, and we are getting way more for our money than we did back in the Snes days when games were even more expensive.
>>317782934
>swamps which drop your framerate to single digits
What swamps? If the game is patched now and there is no longer an issue, then you really don't have much of an argument. Are you also going to cry about the old loading screens?
>And you gloat about it?
It's not gloating. It's calling you out of being a lying shitposter. I'm being objective. 24 is the worst the drops get.
>>317782934
No, that enhances the program's quality anon. Nothing to do with the "game" side of things
Nothing to do with it's gameplay, unless it's a competitive game where higher framerate matters
A game of chess could be played on a piece of paper instead of a diamond chessboard and it would still be the same game

Once.
But this is a game (more or less) is ABOUT multiple playthroughs.
If you do any variation of Pacifism or Neutral, you have to go through Alphys's bullshit AGAIN, at full length, every time.
The only time you can go through it with additional non-padding content is Genocide, which is already padded with needless encounter grinding.
You can't escape Alphys' bullshit.

If a game enables a cancerous fanbase then that is a fault of the developer. All media you support should actively antagonize societal degenerates. If it allows itself to be liked by degenerates then it is complicit in degeneracy.

Every one of those detract from the game's quality. Every penny spent on those frivolous pieces of nonsense is a penny not spent optimizing gameplay and removing any major flaws.
>b-but only pkeks care about framerate
Oh, okay then. I'm sorry I care about a product that I purchased with money not performing up to my standards. Isn't the Ps4 capable of 1080p and 60 FPS? Isn't that what was promised? There shouldn't be a single drop whatsoever, and it shouldn't be locked to 30 FPS.
>No, that enhances the program's quality anon. Nothing to do with the "game" side of things
Better UI = more game you see. Less stuff blocked.
More moddability = more replayability.
No DRM = less hassle for you to go through to actually play the game. No always online segments or facebook integration.
You would claim that these things, like DRM and forced online, are good?
>>317782934
>Those "features" all directly enhance a game's quality and keep it from being unfairly restricted because of developer laziness.
You know each individual unit of a console has the same hardware, right? I'm not going to argue about whether consoles are on-par with PCs (they clearly are not), but adding graphics options to the console version of a game is retarded. As a developer, the most efficient way to develop for consoles is to create fixed graphical settings which work exactly as intended for the hardware you know every user will have.
Not having those options for the PC version is obviously retarded and a sign of developer laziness, but not including such settings on consoles is both logical and irrelevant to a game's quality.
Can't be a GOTY candidate if it's not multiplat
>>317783506
Name a game that would be GOTY material then. Doesn't even have to be this year.
>>317783535
No that's pretty bad for the program, but for the game it doesn't really matter
Plus, Bloodborne is a multiplayer game, so forced online does help the gameplay yes
You can always play offline too
>>317783582
>but adding graphics options to the console version of a game is retarded.
For 60 dollars i kind of expect a quality product with options that I desire, and already get on the PC side of things.
>As a developer, the most efficient way to develop for consoles is to create fixed graphical settings which work exactly as intended for the hardware you know every user will have.
That's very restrictive, especially for those of us who want higher framerates instead of stupid graphics.
>Not having those options for the PC version is obviously retarded and a sign of developer laziness, but not including such settings on consoles is both logical and irrelevant to a game's quality.
They're no longer including it in PC versions because consoles encouraged laziness. It's dragging the whole industry down.
>>317783535
Bloodbourne is DRM free, I can pass it around if I want to.
>>317783431

>>317783694
>No that's pretty bad for the program, but for the game it doesn't really matter

Yeah, okay. If you think that, I'm not sure if I can argue anything that you would listen to.
>>317783831
Consoles are DRM in themselves. They're like PCs if you couldn't uninstall steam or origin or Games for Windows Live. I feel like this is a fundamental freedom being deprived from the playerbase.
5. Until Dawn
4. Undertale
3. Metal Gear Solid 5
2. Rocket League
1. Fallout 4 (first fallout I played so I'm probably biased)
>>317783535
why are you trying to use generic PC advantages on a game that doesn't even benefit from any of them?
DRM doesn't matter on a console
there is no always online and the game can be played completely offline, but you won't get access to messages, bloodstains, coop or invasions
modding a game that has never and will never have an api or developer tools or anything to do so is pointless
the most "modding" you can get out of dark souls is swapping textures and cheat engine
moreover, you shouldn't be allowed to "mod" a game at all when multiplayer is involved
>>317783678
Gotcha covered my man. I wouldn't bring up discussion of GOTY if I didn't have some candidates lined up.
>>317783929
But MGSV and whatever EA-exclusive game should never be even considered GOTY 2015 anon

you might have an argument if bloodborne was "always online" even though it has multiplayer components that integrate into the singleplayer
but you don't
>>317784005
>DRM doesn't matter on a console
Can I use a controller of my choosing, or mod the game to use a controller that I desire? If not, that's a direct way the DRM harms my experience.
>moreover, you shouldn't be allowed to "mod" a game at all when multiplayer is involved
Except if I want to change the UI or skins or something to that effect. Obvioulsy nothing that enables me to cheat, but i should be able to have some fun offline.

Do you also want your toaster to be capable of grilling steak? Do you also want your dishwasher to double as a shower? At this point you're essentially just a /r/PCMasterRace shitposter, going on about how games on consoles are inferior because you focus more on graphics than actual fucking gameplay.

>If a game enables a cancerous fanbase then that is a fault of the developer. All media you support should actively antagonize societal degenerates. If it allows itself to be liked by degenerates then it is complicit in degeneracy.
Again: What does that have to do with the actual game? You don't have to interact with any game's fanbase, unless it's a multiplayer game. I could not give less of a fuck if the game I'm playing is universally loved by pedophiles and wifebeaters, because I have no contact with them. I don't care if it's Satan's favorite game.

Uh no, 90% of my pc games can't be given to someone else to play. 100% of my console games can.
Have yet to play Witcher. Played Bloodborne, MGSV, and Fallout 4, however.
MGSV, I can't get over the squandered potential, just makes me depressed. And I can only enjoy Fallout 4 by fucking with everything with console commands. Bloodborne is probably my GOTY by virtue that 2015 wasn't super great.
>>317784195

Can I mod the game to use a KBM controller?
Can I play online and access all online features without paying for PSN+?
Can i make my own levels and give them to other people to play? Because that seems awful restrictive.
>>317784330
>Do you also want your toaster to be capable of grilling steak? Do you also want your dishwasher to double as a shower?
Why shouldn't they? I have a shower that I can clean dishes in, and I have a toaster oven which can cook meat. Those are far more versatile tools than one-function machines.
>>317784410

These are flaws of the games. Which is why they're not perfect. I rate every single GOTY nomination on my lists at about an 8/10 each.
The games would be better without these inherent flaws. Sad, but true. I cannot claim that my favorite games are without flaw. That would be a falsehood on my part.
>>317784850
That's nice but we're talking about bloodborne. You couldn't do any of that with havok unless you reverse engineered the functions you needed and wrote it yourself in assembly.
Modding Dark Souls, or any souls is a pointless endeavor, on any platform.
Neither, Just Cause 3 will win.
>>317784874
>You can't make your own levels in Dark Souls and no mod ever has. And the keyboard controls are garbage for the game.
I don't think these are faults of the hardware. From just doesn't understand proper utilization. Many games like the Witcher have proven that controls on the PC work great.
Don't forget that From has a spotty track record when it comes to games breaking into new territory.
TW3 had some of the best graphics, best designed sidequests, and best voice acting put together in an RPG I've played in years. It easily earns GOTY.
Seriously, I have no idea how anyone who enjoys an RPG/fantasy/open world game could not love TW3. The combat could use tweaking but other than that it's impeccable.
>>317785048
>That's nice but we're talking about bloodborne. You couldn't do any of that with havok unless you reverse engineered the functions you needed and wrote it yourself in assembly.

Some of the best games of the common era were made by modders who reverse engineered entire game engines and learned them inside out. Does Redigit ring a bell?

A game can't be disqualified simply because of the type of game it is. Besides, if the competition is bad enough then it deserves to win by default.

Difficulty isn't the only aspect of a game.

That's got to be the dumbest definition of weeaboo that I've ever seen. You can't say a game doesn't deserve to win based on its art style.

A game's fanbase has no impact on the quality of the game itself unless the multiplayer aspect of the game is that important.

So no game has ever deserved GOTY, gotcha.

>>317778627
Every single thread. EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD. Why do you stupid assholes have to shitpost as hard as you can about Bloodborne? Goddammit, it pisses me off I can't discuss Bloodborne here. Just because it's not on PC, you have to make life miserable for everyone else. Is that it? Because you can't have ONE THING in your life, you have to make others suffer?
>>317785805
>Good graphics does not a good game make.
Hardware limitations affect performance, content in game (can't have alot of enemies if your game chugs at 10 fps) UI customization, and not to mention user controls. Imagine if you were stuck with a madkatz controller and couldn't use anything else.
>A game can't be disqualified simply because of the type of game it is. Besides, if the competition is bad enough then it deserves to win by default.
A game can have conflict, but games like God of War and Bloodborne go way, way too far on how much blood and murder and violence they shove down your throat, and surprise surprise they suffer in performance because of it. Example: if From removed every trace of blood splatter from Bloodborne, and never spent money on it, that money could've done to ensuring a more stable day 1 release that didnt have 30 minute loading screens. It's not a guarantee, but it's a chance I'd take every time.
>Difficulty isn't the only aspect of a game.
Hence why it's not the only thing listed.
>That's got to be the dumbest definition of weeaboo that I've ever seen. You can't say a game doesn't deserve to win based on its art style.
Let me explain. A game like Xenoblade or Final Fantasy 13 is weeaboo because it employs every JRPG anime trope in the book and bores me to death with cutscenes and boring, 1 dimensional characters, all while the gameplay is just too bland. Japanese games like Metal Wolf Chaos and Chromehounds aren't weeaboo because I'm not being bored to death by the game trying to push my emotional buttons with boring story and cutscenes and lame characters.
>A game's fanbase has no impact on the quality of the game itself
Try telling that to Undertale and FNAF.
>So no game has ever deserved GOTY, gotcha.
A game can be GOTY if it only has one or so of these flaws. But if the game encourages porn, like by being a furry pandering game (Dust: Le Elysian Tale for example) then it's a detriment.
GOTY will be Just Cause 3. People that say otherwise lack imagination.
I know this has been said before but does anyone else get a borderlands vibe from fo4? I love the series and wanted to like the game but no skills, voiced protagonist and a dialog wheel keep it from being great. Cha choices don't even matter because 60% of the time you get the same response I know because I save scum. And I haven't even mentioned the bugs, I have to tiptoe around content because half the time any quest revolves around an box doing something it doesn't work. The silver shroud quest is still bugged for me and I can't even complete it. The only thing I like is the new power armor because it makes you feel like a mobile tank and fusion core management is cool. All in all this games not an rpg and you might as well create commander Shepard because that's who you will be playing as. What are your opinions on fo4 being potential goty?
blood souls isn't anywhere near the scale of tw3/mgsv/fo4
lets be real sonyponies, it's between witcher, fallout, and metal gear.
>>317778627
Its kind of depressing if you consider any of these two games to be candidates for GOTY
but I guess thats how it is this day and age

>>317786286

>>317787039
A game shouldn't encourage porn and should have good gameplay to encourage hearty discussion. If a game is just a glorified jumpscare simulator, it degenerates fast.
Kind of a cause/effect thing.
>>317778627
It's definitely a tossup between Witcher 3 and something, whether that's Bloodborne or MGSV is up for debate.
>>317786304

>>317787310
Neither of those two games "encourage porn".
>>317787310
>A game shouldn't encourage porn
And why not?
>>317787310
If a game is only good for the porn then it was never a good game on its own merits anyway.
>>317783478
Hotline Miami 2 was a huge disappointment to me.
>>317787095
shut your fucking mouth
It's obviously either Witcher 3 or Undertale.
Witcher 3 was a comeback of true RPG, with choices that have consequences and ways to actually roleplay your character. Too bad it was, again, held back by the gameplay department.
Undertale was possibly the best design this year, or maybe even the decade, since all of the shit just intertwined with the gameplay and engaged the player, rather than going all "STOP, TIME FOR CINEMATIC CUTSCENE". It actually explored where games can go if done correctly. You don't have to like every joke to see that.

Just saying: there's a reason porn is banned on /v/, even if it's video game related. They wouldn't just get rid of it for no reason.
To me, the more porn a game has, the less redeeming features it has, since it's basically saying "why talk about gameplay? Let's jack off to Bayonetta/Sorceress/Inkling/Undyne/Nathan drake/Mario."
And it ruins any discussion that takes place. Know what I mean?
>>317787628
Oh shit ok. Better shut my mouth before Ash-"wendigo feeder"-ley leaves me out of the house and just watches while I get murdered.
>>317781875
>Gameplay isn't very good
I loved it, it constantly surprised me. Each boss and enemy patterns was unique and personalized, and every boss changed the gameplay or even caused a genre shift, and lots of other little gameplay events thrown in through the overworld or unique usage of the battle screen. It also integrated storytelling and gameplay elements into a whole, both mechanically and thematically, without just segmenting them Bioware/Telltale/AAA style. There's new features and content at every turn, even though the puzzles aren't the best.
>>317787847
>there's a reason porn is banned on /v/, even if it's video game related
Because in theory this is a SFW board. No other reason.
>To me, the more porn a game has, the less redeeming features it has, since it's basically saying "why talk about gameplay? Let's jack off to Bayonetta/Sorceress/Inkling/Undyne/Nathan drake/Mario."

That's the fault of the community.
TW3, BB, MH4U, Fo4 and MGSV
This year has been pretty good, it's the Witcher for sure.
Its W3 really that good? I absolutely hated the gameplay of 2 but love the setting and tone of the whole series, would I suffer playing 3?
>Witcher 3
A game that has mediocre gameplay cannot be considered for GOTY
we need to have standards here guys, i dont give a shit how good the story and waifus are
The Witcher really bored me. It's definitely the best open world game out of the current awful modern crop and excels in that, and deserves credit for trying to excel technologically and stuff, but it's still just an open world RPG in the end to me. I've played far too many this year.
>>317788114
>That's the fault of the community.
I think the devs should have more sway to be able to push a community to be better.
>>317788223
>I absolutely hated the gameplay of 2 but love the setting and tone of the whole series
It's that again with more filler between locations.
>>317788223
It only hits you a couple of hours into the game, at which point you should be drawn into it already.
Unless you're one of the babies that shouts "bad gameplay" as he dies.
>>317788223
Combat is more of the same but Triss looks incredible.
ITT: people who played witcher 3 on easy and complain about the combat not being varied enough.
>>317788369
I'm talking about the community here. If people on /v/ only want to talk about how hot Bayonetta is then they're allowed to.
I'm seriously going to get pissed when a bunch of sites choose Fallout 4 over Witcher because of the hype, or just because many more people played Fallout. And sadly it will happen.
Choosing a poorly crafted, buggy, ugly sandbox, with dumbed down mechanics, and with bare minimum improvements over a 7 year old game over a meticulously made rpg, with amazing story, characters, quests, world design and atmosphere. Because it's not Dark Souls. Because it's not a sandbox.
Choosing "but it's fun"/"but it's better than Fallout 3"/"but you can do whatever" over the best RPG experience in the last decade is a sin people.
>>317788529

>>317788975
Gameplay will always be the bottom line. If the foundation is bad it doesn't matter how good everything on top of it is. A game with meh gameplay and the best story, quests and characters will always be a "Meh game" first and foremost with the other positive elements as an afterthought.
>>317789296
I'm convinced that's actually a bug that hasn't been fixed since it seems to happen with every shieldbearer in the game. Besides, just parry or cast Igni or Axii.
>>317778627
Witcher 3 easily. Because tiddies.
>>317789313
Okay. Name one better.
>>317789671
I never got why anyone cared about the sex scenes. If you really want to jerk off to the characters in TW3, there's far better porn out there.
>>317789769
Geralt is a giant slut so I'm just trying to sleep with every woman I can. I don't care about them since there are no sex cards.
>>317789769
It's not about the sex scenes themselves. We live in a world under an increasing umbrella of censorship and political correctness. It's games like Witcher that dare to defy the social mores of the industry that make it such a rare treat, anon.

>>317786114
Excluding gameplay and going off of lore probably the hunter plus he can't really die and will just keep coming back to kill Geralt who would eventually die. Just look at the size of the monsters they kill while the witcher exists in a fanasty setting it's still grounded and Geralt gets over whelmed and gravely wounded by a pack of ghoul like creatures and fighting small group of opponents is not an easy task and if he isn't prepared and on potions he would most likely die. I doubt he would even be able to directly block most of those weapons and would have to rely on dodging. Would probably be similar to his first fight with Vilgefortz in which he lost after getting overwhelmed by the strength and speed of his opponent.
>>317785191

Too cinematic, and combat was severely watered down.

50 hours of cutscenes, MMO combat which felt empty and had no real strategy to it.

Both suffered from "roll and dodge" being an unbeatable combo, making all encounters trivial.
>Witcher 2
Too cinematic, spent too much time with sidequests and romance.
>Bravely
Rehashed itself halfway through with unoriginal dungeons. 240p resolution.
>Fire Emblem
Nothing but romance. No gameplay worth noting.
>Mass effect
Gay sex simulator. Was the filler in the trilogy.
>Undertale
Too much dialogue, gameplay had no challenge as half the game could be skipped entirely, like with Asgore + butterscotch pie, or Muffet + spider donut.

>>317790798
ok so tw3 is better than dark souls... Discussion ended
>>317790854
PC games don't suffer hardware limitations. Only developer limitations.
Triple A games aren't that good anymore really.
Games that don't show any blood are far better. Less budget wasted.
Any game that has an insane mode,or bullet mode will do.
Anything that's a shooter really. It's all the same game regurgitated oevr and over. The industry has suffered so much from stagnation because of it.
Is my definition wrong? If the word doesn't fit, then substitute it for something better if you wish.
If the fans discuss gameplay instead of waifus and drawing porn, it's better than the alternative.
>>317779092
I played both, and it's not even close how much better tw3 is. And I didn't even dislike bloodborne, it'd be contending for GOTY if tw3 weren't there for me.
>>317790916
the witcher 3 is the worse, so the witcher 2 is better
>>317780181
most shit, sure, if you count random unity assets that are dropped on steam for a quick buck from naive children, then yes, it's better. But not by much. it is about as bad as an AAA title can be.
>>317791147
How?
Witcher 3 has better crafting, better sidequests, better bosses, better gameplay, better graphics, better characters and better voice acting. The only thing witcher 2 does better is the main story.
I honestly dont mind which wins, they were both good and Id be happy with either sitting on top.
>>317778989
Way to our your self for never playing it
the witcher 3 and ac games have the same fucking gameplay, but in the witcher 3 there are tits and sex so it's cool and GOTY.

Well.
1. You're wrong, they are significantly different, so much that the comparison seems far fetched.
2. if you really think tits, grit, gore and sex are the draw of the game/story, then you have either not played it, or you are so amazingly dense it's fucking painful.

I don't think anything seperates these two.
In my opinion both are really dam good games. I've played and enjoyed both immensely.
Each excel in different areas but unfortunately, the Witcher 3 has some striking faults and on that basis the award goes to Bloodborne simply for being more polished. If witcher 3 did not have as many bugs, glitches and mechanical flaws I would call I a tie.

>>317791703
It's not tolkien fantasy at all, it's pagan fairy tales.
Geralt isn't particularly gruff, he's a pretty human and sensitive character. In fact, that's one of his major character traits, he isn't as gruff as he'd like to be.
The sexy women are generally justified or played for laughs
dodge roll isn't even that much a thing in tw3, sidestep is way better.
the game is really colorful, everyone wears bright colors, the environment is colorful considering the setting.
the violence and sex is played tongue in cheek.
I wonder if you have not played the game, or you're just so incredibly braindead that you didn't understand anything?
