Thoughts on this game?
most boring game I've ever played in my life fampaitachi
>>333007954
I wanna have sex with every named woman except the ones the game says I should
It's the most cohesive and satisfying game of all time.
But in overall quality it's not that great.
Does that make sense?
>>333007954
It is basically Skyrim 2. Every normie redditor in the world sucks dick of this game.
>>333007954
one of my favorite games ever but hey thats just me
>>333009557
It's great in overall quality
Overrated
>>333010036
Overhated
it triggered a bunch of autists of /v/ which was sad
Best game of all time when it comes to quest design and immersion in the world and its people.
Overrated
Combat is awful
Characters are nice
Story is nice
"""Humor""" is cringy
It's shit.
I can say with absolute honesty, one of the greatest games I've ever played. It has single handedly raised the bar, and renewed my faith in modern vidya.
Not even shilling.
7/10
Overrated as fuck.
>>333010606
I don't understand people like you. There's not a single astonishing thing about this game.
Top quality story telling and immersion.
Does anyone have the picture of Geralt holding the heads of Lady Maria, Todd, and I think it was Venom Snake, comparing the number of awards Witcher 3 won compared to F4, TPP, and BB?
>>333010687
Graphics and art design, voice acting, soundtrack, storytelling, gameplay...
The only legitimate honest gripe anyone ever has with the game is the combat, which isnt even bad, and still better than Witcher 1 and 2.
>>333010846
Do you need it to prove how superior TW3 is to BB, MGSV and FO4?
We aren't on reddit, no one cares about goty awards.
>>333010921
>graphics
Yeah, they're good.
>voice acting
Polish or english version? I played in polish (since I'm actually polish) and it's cringy as fuck, I can't listen to Keira's lines.
>soundtrack
Good
>storytelling
Not my type of thing. I loved the books and most of the stuff that happened in TW3 raped all of them and retconned some of the stuff. Also I hate how The Wild Hunt became so cartoonishly evil and turned out to be a group of angry elves from Aen Elle
>gameplay
Jesus fucking christ
>>333010960
That landslide though. And rightfully so.
>>333011072
All this picture tells you is that 225 people did not play Bloodborne.
>>333011290
It's an exclusive, what did you expect
>>333011290
Bloodborne didn't do anything new in it's genre. Dark Souls already did all of that 6 years ago.
>>333011223
I'm up to the 5th book, and I can't see how it raped them.
I saw a game that really respects and loves the source material.
The characters acted pretty "in-character".
>>333011072
Thanks homie
>>333011353
TLOU won most of the awards when it was released.
It was an exclusive game.
Stop trying to justify shit.
>>333011365
And it was still the best game of 2015.
>>333011518
That's just like your opinion man
>>333007954
Good game.
>>333010960
Fallout 4 shouldn't have won a damn thing. That game was a 6.5/10 for me. It's so forgettable. It's COD if COD were an RPG.
>>333011554
No, stop trying to belittle my universal truths you meanie.
Great game. Best of 2015. There are many worse open world games and RPGs out there
>>333011365
And what new did Witcher 3 do in its genre?
Copy the jokes and characters from the books? Shitty gameplay?
>>333011405
Yeah, they did and that's pretty nice for a long time fan of the books
It raped them by making Ciri stop the White Frost. In the books the characters always knew that someday everything is going to end and they can't really stop it. White Frost was a huge part of the universe and how characters reacted to it.
>>333011290
> Played BB into NG+
> Played TW3 into NG+
TW3 is better in almost every aspect, minus combat and MAYBE art style.
Plus that doesnt make BB anything but DS 2.5 with less equipment and chalice dungeons, where TW3 took The Witcher formula and made it better in every way
>>333010292
>quest design
>help someone to find Ciri by helping someone who can tell you where to find someone who can tell you where Ciri might have been
>Follow Yen/Keira/Triss/etc around a boring dungeon while occasionally fighting enemies
>Turn on Witcher sense, follow the red line, fight a drowner they threw in to slightly break the monotony, listen to Geralt mumble the obvious, repeat ad nauseam
Idk why Witcherfags pretend there was anything good about the quest design
>>333011785
>And what new did Witcher 3 do in its genre?
Have quantity and quality without compromising either.
>>333009405
I know this feeling.
>>333011997
>>333009405
>they didn't want to be fucked by Keira

>>333011980

>most of the sidequests follow the same template
>talk to x
>follow red shit
>find x
>optional: kill x or talk to x
>talk to x
>>333011980
This.
If it had been 50% witches contracts and side quests and 50% story like witcher 2, could have been the best game of all time
>>333012104
And not one of them was boring.
Your turn :^)
>>333012104
And bloodborne is just walking and fighting enemies, what's your point?
>>333011223
Don't the books go to shit later on because Ciri is a blatant mary sue and the author trying to get himself off with the whole lesbian shit?
>>333011919
Witcher 3 made The Witcher formula good, that's the only thing it did.
Bloodborne was already using an incredible formula.
Guro thread?
>>333012187
She was raped by a lesbian though.
Dull, but impressive.
Is that contradictory?
The Witcher: Ubisoft edition
>>333012104
Wow. Grasping at straws much, family? You can sum up practically every quest from every game ever, if you say it like that. The Witcher 3 actually gives you context, stories and choices with it's sidequests though.
>>333011223
>Also I hate how The Wild Hunt became so cartoonishly evil and turned out to be a group of angry elves from Aen Elle
Isn't that what they are in the books?
>>333012048
Both the "main" romances were pretty shit. I don't care for Triss or Yennifer all that much.
Especially after Yennifer cheated on Geralt and didn't give a fuck.
CDPR and fromsoft are the two last "great" devs left desu.
in a sea of shit, they stand out.
>>333012385
TW3 is the last game I'd call an "Ubisoft" game.
Like, seriously nigga, the fuck.
>>333012315
Yeah, but she then went on to have a relationship with her.
As said, seemed like the author really wanted to get off to it.
>>333011223
It retconnect nothing. Games are not canon so they cant retcon a shit
>>333012529
>relationship
More like forced into one.
Physically and emotionally.
Did you even read the books?
I mean, it's possible she started to like the vayjayjay after some forced loving, but the "relationship" was something forced and, after some time, out of necessity.
>>333012658
Why would I read books?
That's for fags.
>>333012492
>mediocre combat
>boring static open world
>generic protagonist
it's really good and i enjoyed every hour, i put in 100+ on one playthrough
the combat is repetitive but calling it awful is just hyperbole
>>333012150
>find the pan
>>333012171
Bloodborne is just walking and fighting enemies
Witcher 3 is just walking, fighting enemies in an atrocious combat system and talking to well-written characters.
Since I prefer gameplay over the story I think that Bloodborne is the superior game.
>>333012187
Nah. She went lesbian for a while but then Bonhart killed all her friends and her lover.
Also the last book of the saga raped the previous ones even more than TW3 with a lot of bullshit and the most dull deaths of important characters in history of fantasy literature.
>>333012397
No, they were some weird wraiths who chased Ciri.
The best thing about them was all the mystery around their whole existence.
>>333012434
This, but From Soft gets minus points for shit like SotFS or giving away english versions of DaS3 to the streamers and CDPR gets minus points for all the downgrade drama and banning users on their forums for mentioning the downgrade.
>>333012658
Lets not forget that any man who tries to touch her dies.
>>333007954
too much UI shit going on all the time
would have been more fun if monster investigations weren't batman-vision based
>>333012658
No. The unicorn shit was pushing it but when they actually had Ciri start to warm up to her rapist and enter a relationship with her I gave the fuck up.
>>333007954
its ok, just horrendously overrated
Good game, but I always laugh when Witcherfans call people who dislike this game 'plebeians'
It's really funny when TW3 is one of the most popular games in a long while.
>>333012774
Nigga what.
It's revealed in the books that they're angry space dimensional elves, you fucking piece of shitposter.
>>333012774
>Nah. She went lesbian for a while but then Bonhart killed all her friends and her lover.
The little pricks had it coming, anyway.
everybody in /v/ is an ignorant gaming elitist who will hate anything that's popular
it's a great game op, /v/ is just a cesspool of autism when it comes to criticizing good games
>>333012960
Source. Give me the page number, I'll find it right fucking now.
I completed the tutorial, then some ship came and he woke up because it was a dream. He then talked to some old guy when some goblins attacked.
When does this game get good? I want to drop it.
>>333013058
Nah, it's definitely not because Witcherfags raided generals on /vg/ with goty count pics.
It's only because it's popular.
>>333012774
Back to /wtc/, autist
>>333012958
witcher 3 was an okay game but after a time i got bored of the same-y open world content.
If they wanna do open world why cant they copy GTA more, that open world barely gets boring and it doesnt even have monsters to kill jesus fuck.
>>333013068
Lady of The Lake you crapposter.
Like, holy shit how did you MISS the entire plot about it?
How the angry dimensional elves want Ciri to have their children and shit?
>>333013174
Don't forget said angry elf man is also an ancestor of her.
Ciri is shit in general. She doesn't fit the Witcher world and I don't know why she was included.
>>333011980
>quantity and quality
90% of stuff in the open world are shitty monster nests and random chests filled with garbage
>>333013140
Goty count pics that came half a year after release.
>>333013174
You retard, no one ever says that it's the Wild Hunt.
There's Avallach, this fucking faggot, waiting for her after she was told to search for this dumb tower. They never said that they sent a bunch of legendary knights to capture her.
>>333013143
Fuck off.
>>333013174
This. There is even a whole plot point in the book where Eredin, the king of the hunt, gives another elf magic viagra to try and fuck Ciri (Said elf dies of a heart attack before he can get it in)
>>333013265
She was enjoyable up to the 5th book.
I mean, she still had some "mary sue"ness, but it didn't feel THAT forced.
Her interactions with Yennefer and Geralt were cute, the whole shtick at the Witcher's base had me grinning the whole time.
>>333013296
That's wrong though, the bulk of the content is in the settlements and cities, probably only 20% of the game is "free roam" stuff like monster nests.
>>333013265
>She doesn't fit the Witcher world and I don't know why she was included.
Because Sapkowski wanted to put some shit references to polish history, like crusaders on the north coast.
>>333013385
Are you LITERALLY brain damaged?
Like, how are you even breathing right now?
You didn't read that book.
I doubt you even skimmed through it.
What the flying fuck
>no one ever says it's the Wild Hunt
How do you even function in society? Serious question.
Do you expect everything to be just handled to you in a plate, you fucking autistic mongoloid?
>bloodbuttbabies STILL can't get over the unanimous praise Witcher 3 received over their 2nd rate tim burton designed Demons Souls 4
I laugh every time. All the webm spam and all of the disinfo just dispelled with 1 hastily made MS paint pic I made.
>>333013531
I don't know polish history but does it usually involve a little magical girl with the most magical magic of all being forced to eat carpet with a mousey adult woman?
>>333013428
I just hated her. Blatant dick jerking material.
>>333013640
Dragon Age Inquisition won tons of awards too. Should we put that much faith on whether a game is good or not in how many awards it gets?
>>333013385
>>333013568
SHITPOSTER BTFOOOOOOO
I just wish the next game lets me play as a regular Human making it's way in The Witcher's world. Kinda like a Berserk simulator. I want a game where I can customize my character and go through all the harships to make my dreams come true be it be a king or just have a random farm with a waifu. I want Ciri to be in it and to interact with the player to show the discrepancy between a transdimendional godlike fighter and a regular human. I want to play as a character that struggles against 4 men a fucking lot and for whom it's impossible to kill the monsters that inhabit the world yet does so with huge effort and his humanity. No potions, no superpowers no magic
>>333010432
>>333010592
here's your (you) pal
>>333007954
pretty good but ultimately still has the same pitfalls that plague just about every open world game and would have been better if it was a smaller, more focused scale like the first two games.
>>333013568
You're the retard here. I've read them in polish seven years ago and reread them in November, after finishing The Witcher 3.
The Wild Hunt is from a whole OTHER DIMENSION. They're from Aen Elle, not Aen Siedhe.
I can even give you all the quotes mentioning The Wild Hunt from the books.
>>333013721
Nah, it doesn't. But remember the part about the fucked up grandpa who tried to rape her and then she found a part of a dead kid prepared to be eaten in his house?
>>333013820
Not really.
>>333013385
"In Tir na Lia Ciri finally met Auberon, who many times tries to conceive a child with her, however he could not - to him she was just a human, a being of no interest for an Aen Elle. Nevertheless he was very proud and refused to admit it. Eredin suggested using a 'potion' which would improve Auberon's performance and allow him to conceive a child with Cirilla."
>>333013831
>Guts
>regular human
>>333013928
Humor is cringy, combat is awful, the rest is good. Fuck off.
>>333013784
well, if a consensus is formed amongst people who review games for a living then the game must be remarkable especially when you consider the game that came out in 2015
>>333013994
Shit. Gonna check it in a minute.
Does the combat ever get good in this game.
I feel like I'm just slamming fucking square over and over again.
I was told this was apparently challenging Dark Soul tier gameplay and all I'm getting is eat food while you fight.
>>333013831
I like the Witcher games but they're knee capped by being forced to play as Geralt or other Witchers.
I want a low fantasy game similar, with good weapon and armour design and an interesting world. Shame we won't see any big name fantasy RPGs any time soon.
>>333013962
You've read them in polish, recently re-read them, and can't even tell those angry elves are the Wild Hunt?
I'll repeat what I asked:
Are you -LITERALLY- brain damaged? Like, do you have a piece of your brain missing? Did a goat eat it?
Do you have your mom wipe your ass while you're shitposting on shitty video game boards?
>>333007954
Great game and for once a trilogy that didn't end with me disappointed. Just wondering why Blood and Wine is taking so fucking long to come out.
>>333013831
Don't even think about it. People love this games for the yellow eyed dude on the cover who fucks all the girls he wants.
>>333014167
>Dark soul tier.
Mate.
Its basically slightly harder bamham for this game.
That said; the story is great, world design is great, and soundtrack is great.
All my fucking issues are with level-scaling and difficulty.
Its too fucking easy.
Like brain-dead.
A pity; as the combat could be fun, but monsters just die so fast even on deathmarch.
And I'm always over-leveled wherever I go.
>>333014167
make sure you're playing on blood and broken bones or death march
>>333013784
in context DAI winning awards isnt that amazing.
>>333014054
He didn't say you samefagged retard.
>>333014000
I'll admit he had superstrenght levels of humanity but he still had to fight to the teeth with all apostles. I'm talking about pre-berserker armor guts. Yes he could crush logs with his hands but every fight was usually won by an inch and left him AT LEAST scarred. I don't remember the last time I was so hyped for a fight in my life like when he fought the apostle when they were escaping from Midland.
>>333009557
That title belongs to Baldur's Gate 2 my friend
reminder that avallac'h and eredin genocided the native human inhabitants of tir na lia relatively recently (<1000 years ago for sure) and ciri stumbles on a mass grave when she tries to run away from tir na lia
in tw3 everyone conveniently forgets this, trust avallac'h, he is your friend :^)
>>333007954
I liked it buuuuuut...
There was pretty obviously some heavy amounts of content cut out of the game.
It didn't really show up much at first, but the final third of the game, it's glaringly obvious. Way too many stories and chapters that just abruptly end, with no real climax.
The ending was a pretty big clusterfuck too.
Over all, it's still a fantastic game though.
>>333014414
Name me another game where you can get an elf pregnant in real time.
>>333014235
Stop insulting me, I feel like I'm arguing with a 13yo
I missed a part in which Eredin, not any other elf wants Auberon to have a kid with Ciri. Fucking wow.
reminder that it's not that bad looking of a game
>>333013472
i tried really hard to like the game. i literally went through the entire map visiting every single marker on the map making sure not to miss anything. i got through the entirety of velen and quit halfway through skellige because i was so bored
>>333014556
Baldur's Gate 2? Aerie can have a babby
>>333014167
It's not at all like Dark Souls, so who ever told you that is full of shit.
That said, you should play on the final two hardest settings to get the most balanced play. Also it's a witcher game, so you start out sluggish as fuck in the beginning, but will be a powerhouse by end game.
>>333014610
Better than 95% of games
>>333014556
Skyrim ;^)
>>333014610
screenshots always look "bad" for this game. the foliage looks like ass when it's not in motion
when you are actually playing it though the game looks fucking amazing
>>333014659
That was my point. Baldur's Gate 2 is the only game I know of wherein during a romantic quest line you can actually knock a bitch up. Doesn't happen in Witcher since witchers are all sterile.
>>333014751
Nah. The only mod for that doesn't let you impregnate NPCs.

>>333014610
SHIT GRAPHICS FUCKING DOWNGRADE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>333014787
I like that they took the bright ass nights from W2 and toned that shit down, making weather effects more realistic. Fuck, even with enb's that shit was too bright in the second
>>333012409
when was that?
>>333014569
Woah, what are you gonna do little baby? Cry to your momma that meanies are being mean? You fucking potato-eater.
Grow the fucking up faggot. You said completely wrong and incorrect shit, tried to insist on that shit and got proven wrong. If you can't trust your brain to read books, search on the internet, the answers are there.
>>333014610
its 2nd best looking game of 2015 after star wars title, and thanks to downgrade my 680 manages to run it at 40fps
>>333014880
>Doesnt let you impregnate npc's
Whatre you fucking on? Sexlab's prenancy mod lets you impregnate anyone and everyoneIncluding loli's if you have the right mods
>>333014306
>>333014691
Yeah play on the hardest difficulty so you can spend even more time spamming Quen/Roll/Slash
>>333015065
>TFW internet nerds play super coy so you never actually have the right mods
>TFW the only time any of that shit worked for you was when sex mods for FNV were brand-new and they didn't put any checks in them

>>333014981

Then when caught she says "I'm not sorry".

I was only aware of the mod with an ovulation cycle and stuff. The one where only a female PC can be knocked up.

Are you literally fucking 13 years old?
>If you can't trust your brain to read books, search on the internet, the answers are there.
Oh shit, I missed a WHOLE ONE NAME.
>>333015201
Nope. If you go on Sexlab's site, there one that lets you impregnate any woman you can have sex with and even produce and offspring (although that offspring will look weird as shit if you have sex with beast races)
>>333014610
What ENB?

That sounds like a quote from a really bad animated movie.
>>333015517
Oh shit. Does it actually make the NPC look pregnant?
>>333015921
Epic potato-eater, just epic.
Go on, keep shitposting about the book you're such a "fan" that you didn't realize a major revelation about a major group of characters.
I'm pretty hyped for Blood and Wine. Those are my thoughts on the game. I really hope it doesn't suck. HoS was great.
Probably going to be a highpoint of this year for me. That, and DS3.
>>333016064

>>333016235
Hey, most poles I know are pretty based.
>>333015946
Yes, and you can control how pregnant they look
>>333016417
I know some too.
But their shitposters are on-par with australian shitposters.
>>333016502
cant you just leave witcher threads
>>333016478
Shit mang. I can finally live my dream of coming home from a hard day of dragon slaying to relax in my comfy home with my wife and son.
Do they get progressively more pregnant looking? I know there was one that you had to use pregnant looking armours on.
>>333016502
Even the most degenerate polish girl I know(from a porn site) posts status updates bitching about refugees. It's great.
okay
>>333016478
Can you leave them pregnant so they never shit out a kid?
Kinda tempting to go back to Skyrim. Might not be a bad idea since it'll probably take AT LEAST a year for Fallout 4 to get up to snuff on the rape and pregnancy mods, and I must admit I've really been wanting some good rapey sandbox gameplay for a while now.
>>333010921
>Graphics
Not even the best looking open world game in 2015, that would be Arkham Knight (inb4 salty PCucks with 750ti rigs)
>art design
Generic Tolkien Fantasy #124? Arkham Knight/Bloodborne have it beat.
>voice acting
I'll give you this, though not astonishing by any stretch of the word. Vesimir/Geralt/Yennefer are the only noteworthy performances in the game, Triss/Dandelion/Cerys/Shani etc were all terribad

Witcher 3 was another mediocre game in a mediocre series of games. The fanboys love the world/characters and confuse that for it being a "stellar game" when in reality it suffers from the same open world padding that ubisoft games have on top of one of the most repetitive/boring combat systems i've seen in an RPG. Throw in the limited dialogue system, generic overarching plot and it being yet another Fantasy RPG set in yet another Tolkien esque (b-but muh grim dark tone!") setting and color me bored.
It's not surprise why the player count dropped faster than Batman vs Supermans gross profit. Arkham Knight is a better game in virtually every way (and I found Arkham Knight also, pretty mediocre), Prove me wrong
>>333019327
Why is he only fighting humans? More variety of enemies would have been better. Downvoted
>>333019630
The humans are the only enemy that require an ounce of thought with the parry system
The base game had its faults but it was a pretty great conclusion to a series.
Hearts of Stone is fucking GOAT though, had much better pacing and boss fights then the base game. I'd probably recommend getting the game when its on sale just for that even if you dont want to go through the base game

Hearts of Stone was grossly fucking overexaggerated. The wedding scene drew out for too long and the painting world where you had to replicate the painting got old fast, the novelty wore off by the 3rd painting that you had to replicate.
It was no Shivering Isles.
>>333016064
the most interesting thing for me is how it will be connected to the main game. Like the appearance of O'Dimm in HoS. It's pretty cool how much far ahead they planned this.
>>333021147
>The wedding scene drew out for too long
It existed purely to let the player hang out with Shani, a character a lot of people wanted to return and that hadn't been seen in a long ass time. I can forgive CDPR for giving me too much of a good thing.
>painting world where you had to replicate the painting got old fast, the novelty wore off by the 3rd painting that you had to replicate.
I agree with you here, it should have been harder and Geralt shouldn't have narrated it every step of the way just in case you're double retarded.
>It was no Shivering Isles.
Sure, but it was also 1/3 of the price. I don't think anyone can complain that they didn't get enough bang for their buck.
>>333007954

Fuck the authour
>>333012187
They do. When short stories are fun, saga sucks ass
You can guess when ciri starts appearing regularly
>>333007954
I think the witcher series is the video game equivalent of oscar bait
it's overproduced, everyone plays it once goes OMG BEST THING EVER and gushes about it on the internet for a week to look like a cool hardcore gamer and forgets about it
>>333019327
>Generic Tolkien Fantasy #124? Arkham Knight/Bloodborne have it beat.
i get this complaint but if you want a European fantasy that wants to be the truest to it's source material the Witcher 3 gets it right
atmosphere, monster design, and armor design do all well to be an authentic European fantasy setting, especially consideringno niggers
>>333013173
GTA does nothing with its openworld tho
This is the general problem with rockstar's open world games, you need to come up with your own fun/ task
Literal trash. Only gets praised because of muh huge open world and story.
The combat is so fucking bad it makes me wanna throw up. All those reskinned enemies and bosses are really fucking lazy as well.
>>333024314
I really like Witcher's armour and weapon design. After having just played Kingdom of Amalur I've become tired of really overdesigned equipment.
I wish more games went with practical, if still fantastic, designs.
Best RPG ever.
Ice Giant Quest = Best Quest
Loved the part where all the boss monsters were reskinned enemies.
>>333007954
Great atmosphere and world building
Great story
Good character development
Below average combat/mechanics
Shit tier loot and crafting system
Worth the purchase? - I pirated that shit - one thing I learned from CDPR - wait for the "super ultimate crown of kings of thorns GOTY ultimate super" edition where they bundle all the dlc and crap. - then buy.
>>333014419
Except when you can straight up tell Ciri in one of the dialogues not to trust him because elves always have their own agenda and are scheming fucks?
>>333024637
I pity the fools who didn't let Vigi out of his cage.
It's brety gud to be honest

What do you mean by that logic? She gets the dude off of her and then continues where he left off. She's even crying as she does it.
>>333025625
Those are tears of joy at finally being free from the patriarchy and being able to lez out~
>>333025880
It's sad, but that's probably what most people got from that scene. Maybe even what the author intended.
loved it, can't wait for Blood and Wine
one of the most satisfying gaming experiences i've ever had
>>333015246
but witcher 3 doesnt have OP mary sue......oh wait. but atleast they have alpha hedonist macho main male character.
>>333026306
God I hope Rey isn't the focus of the new trilogy.
She makes Hayden look charismatic.
>>333026368
Don't you fucking talk shit about mai waifu, anon.
>>333024705
This sums it up
If they spent more time on the loot, the rpg/stat systems and the leveldesign it'd be GOTYAY
Now it's only good to great
>>333011223
>Not my type of thing. I loved the books and most of the stuff that happened in TW3 raped all of them and retconned some of the stuff. Also I hate how The Wild Hunt became so cartoonishly evil and turned out to be a group of angry elves from Aen Elle.
This, Gaunter O'Dimm from the Hearts of Stone dlc was the superior villain. He was basically like Judge Holden from Blood Meridian.
The wild hunt were nowhere near scary or imposing enough. They were just a bunch of gay looking elves.
I actually like the gameplay a lot. But I really fucking hate the number of skill slots there are. Having more would allow for some fun combinations, but it makes it feel like cheating when you need to use a mod for it.
Great game. I enjoyed each game in the series. Probably one of the best modern game series in existence imo. I played it all way too much though. I'm trying out Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen now.
>>333026397
Your waifu constantly looks angry.
>>333026397
Those are some quality subs
>>333026368
SHit dont make me remember her i fuckin hate TFA goddamn i was on hype mode marathoning 6 movies before the weekend premiere and that bitch single handedly destroy the movie fuck this shit. all the fight i was rooting for emo Ren to win thats how bad it is.
>>333024637
Hjalmar is the biggest bro of all.
>>333007954
Witcher 1 and 3 are one of my favorite games ever made.
>>333013784
That's because 2014 was so awful, so awful, so disgraceful in gaming that a turd like Inqusition was GOOD.
>>333026767
But witcha 2.
>>333007954
Greatest game ever made.
>>333026701
I liked Finn and I liked that Chewie is still alive.
That said, Rey is the most mary sue bitch I've ever seen. All they need to do is paint her orange and make her use a lightsabre backwards and the cycle will be complete.
>>333014998
Internet, srs deal, calm your hormones and jerk off to easen up a lil.
>>333026839
Witcher 2 is okay. It focused too much on politics and it was too linear.
>>333016478
>>333015517
What game are you niggers talking about?
Witcher 3 or Baulder gates?
If it is Baulder gates i am about to buy that motherfucker right now because my shitty PC cant run Witcher 3.
>>333027019
In Baldur's Gate 2 one of the romance options is an elf girl who, eventually, can get pregnant with your kid. Play long enough and she'll give birth.
I don't remember if this is in the expansion or not.
You can't impregnate anyone in Witcher 3 because Geralt is sterile.
>>333026910
When the next movies come out, you will be ashamed of your words & deeds
>everyone raves about the graphics
>I can't even play on medium settings
>mfw I took a step back from W2
At least the faces are impressive as fuck, and I do like that I get to chum up with Milfgaard
>>333027126
But some nigger was talking about impregnating any women and shit like that.
Like what the fuck is that all about
>>333016653
Yes. The dude who made the mod did a lot of research on menstrual cycles and such, worked out alot of mechanics into this. It's pretty fucking deep.
>>333017867
Yes. You can choose to stay pregnant and even get status effects from it.
Best part is it has compability with other mods like rape and slavery mods so theoretically you could get attacked by bandits, raped, kidnapped and forced to bear their children. Skyrim is literally the 1# fetish playground vidya out there, knocked Oblivion right outta there in it's first year. No one plays Skyrim for vanilla experience anymore.
How do I enjoy this game
I don't fucking understand why do you praise it this much. I got to Keira's quest and I'm not really hooked. Finished a couple of sidequests and desu they weren't really amazing and combat is boring. Where's all of this incredible goty material?
I'm not trying to shill some sonygger shit, I just want to know how to enjoy this game
>>333027285
Anon, I'm the rapist here. This is what's wrong with Skyrim mods, it's all for rape-ees instead.
>>333027285
>Yes. The dude who made the mod did a lot of research on menstrual cycles and such, worked out alot of mechanics into this. It's pretty fucking deep.
Nigga what mod is this?
I want to be a comfy guy killing shit and living with my son
>>333026910
Personally couldn't stand Bodega - don't think he is as good of an actor as everyone jerks off to - OR - his character and direction was god aweful.
Both Finn and Rey come off as Dumb and dumber - a little on the partly retarded side. I kept on thinking "are they doing this to cater to the special olympics crowd?"
It felt like watching a pewdiepie directed production.
>>333027272
A Skyrim mod, dude.
>>333027285
Oh shit. I could swear the one about menstrual cycles only applied to the Dragonborn. Got a link to this sick degenerate filth? Between this and a lactation mod I can basically stop watching porn and play it instead.
Time to go all Genghis and breed thousands of sons.

I'll admit I liked the guy from Attack the Bloc. I think he played too much to being naive but I liked the prospect of focusing on a storm trooper with serious PTSD.
Shame that only gets brought up for a few minutes and it then goes to show how saaaaad Rey's life was. I can't take Daisy seriously. She always looks like she's clenching.

It's a very complex mod based on reality with a lot of realistic features like simulating the LH and FSH Hormones, sperm life-time, egg and sperm traveling duration, and way more."
Holy
Fuck
I am sure that if i install this, there is no turning back on anything.
But god damn Skyrim is such a fucking comfy game, i could install survival mods and fix a lot of the RPG shit with mods plus making the world feel more alive with mods.
I can imagine going hunting to put bread on the table, see my son and wife there in the middle of the camp while the fireplace is going,
But god damn it i know that if i do i will hit a new rock bottom.
When does Witcher 3 get good?
Nothing's happened yet. At least in Skyrim a dragon came down and attacked you straight away.
>>333027587
>TPP
>good
>>333027637
Aw man, sounds like it's only for female PCs.
Look at it this way, anon. In the fucked up modern world this is our only chance to experience being a manly barbarian hero with a loving wife and family.
I started playing this recently, because my friends wouldn't shut up about how amazing it is.
Sure, it looks pretty, but medieval fantasy just doesn't do a thing to me these days. The combat is the same "bait attack-dodge-hit back-retreat" snorefest like all the souls games. And I don't like the way the game forces you to explore every nook and cranny in the fuckhuge maps, and grind quests to find money and exp to scrape by. I'm sure this is like a wet dream to all those immersion fags, but all I feel is my life gradually slipping away roaming endless polygon fields.

>>333027652
That happens in Witcher 3 too... like really early on.
>>333027761
You can knock up any NPC as a male PC.
You know it's a good game when half of /v/ gets butt blasted once it gets GOTY, when you know everyone would've loved it if it was a game with a tiny fanbase that went under everyone's radar.
>>333027820
Why would FROMdrones cry?
These retards love their games because they're 'le hardcore and niche' so they don't care about goty awards
vapid
>>333007954
Best modern AAA arpg, great end of great series.
>>333027813
AKHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>333027818
I really like the base game of TPP. That said, it's a huge disgrace to the franchise and gets old incredibly fast. It's blatantly unfinished,
>>333027773
>And I don't like the way the game forces you to explore every nook and cranny in the fuckhuge maps
How exactly do they force you to do that?
>and grind quests to find money and exp to scrape by
You get most of your xp from the main quest, and unless you're retarded, it's almost impossible not to be fucking loaded even if you just pick up the things you stumble across
>>333027652
Witcher 3 isn't really made for those who have a short attention span, sounds like Skyrim is more made for you.
>>333027935
There is nothing better.
>>333027587
> TPP better than anything but Fallout 4
I've been an MGS fan for a long time but a failed half finished abortion shitted out without any content or goodwill on the publisher's side should not win any award whatsoever. Having good core gameplay is not enough, I payed full price for a full gamen not a more boring Ground Zeroes.
BB could've been a winner if it had more content and wasn't the fourth iteration of the same game with some new mechanic and setting. DS3 will probably win though, literally no noteworthy competition this year. No high profile competitor too like a new ES or AC. The Division is exactly the mediocre Ubishit I knew it would be.
>>333027530
That's what I'm saying. The actual playing of a game has to be good. You can't just rely on the other parts of the package being great, the whole point of games is to play. If you are going to make a story game then make a story game, don't make me slog through generic combat to find out what happens next.
>>333027880
>so they don't care about goty awards
I take it you didn't follow any of the GOTY threads very closely. Also, I'm fairly sure there wouldn't be half the amount of bitterness towards tw3 if it wasn't for Bloodborne not getting it.
>>333027976
There are three better games released in 2015, you dumb pleb.

Dumb movie game
I'm glad it's gonna encourage the people who make actually fun games to hire better writers and world builders.
Dom't bother wasting time explainimg to retard Polacks why Witcher 3 is a shitty game. CDPR shills refuse to budge, even when their Polack overlords shit downgrades down their throats.
This Ass Creed wannabe sucks shit anyways.
>>333028196
I love souls game and i truly enjoyed BB but i enjoyed more Witcher 3 than i did with BB.
>>333028090
What game? I highly doubt a cRPG is gonna ein just because it was made by someone who 20 years ago used to be involved in a good game.
See: MN9, Pillars of Eternity, Elite
>>333027959
>How exactly do they force you to do that?
By continuously making you fight large groups of enemies several levels above you, that kill you in a matter of seconds unless you invest in better equipment and skills? Unless you take the time to look for items, upgrade your gear and weapons and buy items, most hunts are nigh impossible too. Plus, your gear degrades quick, which easily eats up hundreds of gold.
>You get most of your xp from the main quest
It gives you fucking nothing. For the first 10 hours, I only did story quests and an occasional side quest or two, and soon found myself a lvl3 surrounded by lvl6-9 monsters.
>fucking loaded even if you just pick up the things you stumble across
I explored most of Velen's surrounding areas, cleared out bandit hideouts, looted tons of treasure and did quests. One visit to blacksmith, crafted a piece of armor, dismantled a few swords, and repaired weapons — and wooow, I'm flat broke again! This game is stingy as fuck.
>>333028634
Witcher 3 is their biggest contribution to humanity, don't take it from them
It's literally the first thing they succeeded at since 1410
>>333028664
>>333028090
Shroud of the Avartar?
Jesus nigger, if you were waiting on that game, i feel sorry for you.
Played it for about 15 hours, quit before I got to skellige once I realized the combat will never become more interesting or different. I'll pick up a new sword or equipment that will change my numbers and slightly change the clothes Geralt wears but it'll always come down to the same thing.
I had a hard time caring about any of the characters or quests.
I really like the art and the character designs, but aside from being pretty it just feels empty.
half the time was spent in some ridiculously long dialogue, then running around using the most insipid mechanic "witcher sense" on obnoxious search quests
/v/ will forever be mad TW3 will be GOTY and it shat all over their shit-tier meme games.
>>333028765
I'm not awaiting it changing the gaming scene or anything, but it's not like we've got other RPGs to look forward to.
I can't believe shitposters are still bootyblasted that Witcher 3 was a success in every way. Hahaha its been a fucking year you losers hahaha
I hated it and because of that I think everyone else should too.
>>333028671
Literally autism.

You seem very mad.
>>333028671
>This game is stingy as fuck
wut
And surprise, in a game with with no level scaling, at low level there's going to be more enemies that are higher level than you, but that's why there's recommended levels for quests, and unless you suck, enemies being just a few levels higher than you shouldn't be too much of a problem. You're the first I've heard complain that the game is too hard or unfair.
IT'S A GOOD GAME BECAUSE GOTY AWARDS YOU SHITPOSTERS
REMINDER THAT SKYRIM WAS A GOOD GAME TOO, YOU CONTRARIAN BUTTBLASTED FAGGOTS
>>333028807
There's the TW3 expansion coming soon and DS3 is getting released though maybe you are actually looking for something that isn't an ARPG so I don't know about that. I think a new Divinity is being worked on.
Old school RPGs are a dying breed m8. Best get used to the nee situation and compromise on ARPGs or just find a new hobby.
>>333028908
>>333028772
I'd be a little less aggressive about it, but this sums it up pretty much.
Once you've played the combat for 2-3 hours you've experienced everything a fight has to offer you.
>>333029053
>someone was butthurt enough to make this
Its creative, imaginative and well made though, I'll give it that.
Can some one explain to me why something being good, popular and well liked makes people mad?
I will never understand why there are people who are like this? Why does it make you angry, how bad is your life that when you see something that is good and getting praised it makes you mad?
Why dies it make you go to so much effort to shit on it as much as possibe?
>>333029160
Look at this buttblasted bloodkek
>>333029038
>enemies being just a few levels higher than you shouldn't be too much of a problem.
They straight up get 90% or something damage reduction
A level 10 bear will tank about 40 hits, then you get a level up and suddenly you 8-hit him
It's not difficult, it's not tactically interesting, it doesn't make for good leveldesign or worldbuilding, it's tedious as fuck
You should never defend that cheap rushed bullshit of a system they put in
>>333029160
Look at these, someone had to prove their point enough to use goty award argument by making a pic
>>333011072
>>333013640
I don't know what the fuck is your problem with the combat, seriously.
Anyone ever played witcher 1 here? Now THAT combat sucked. Compared to that, TW3s combat is more than good.
The characters are quite matching, but sometimes things don't make sense to me, for example how can Yennefer get away with all those shit she does.stealing the mask of ouroboros and destroying the garden etc.
I don't know why you say it is like skyrim. in skyrim you become a demi-god over time while here you just geralt of fucking rivia fucking, killing or looting everything you come across. He is just badass but its still more believable then the dragonborn with all those superpowers
>>333029225
>>333029038
Oh and I'm a different guy and not necessarily arguing the same point as anon
But the level barrier bullshit they put in is just bad game design
>>333029186
Special snowflake/contrarian syndrome.
>>333029282
>compared to that, TW3s combat is more than good.
If dogshit is less disgusting than horseshit is it good?
>>333028671
Holy fuck you suck. You are literally complaining about the game being a good RPG and forcing you to build your character.
Money is SUPPOSED to be an issue, TW3 handles it wonderfully. It illustrates how harsh the world is in TW3 and Geralt gets payed a pittance for his work despite it's importance, forcing him (and you) to make some bad choices for money. Every other game just has you loaded with money at thst point, in TW3 you can never have enough.
The weapon's degredation illustrates how you should pick your battles wisely as you can literally burn your money flinging your sword around. Why do you think monsters give so shit XP? You aren't supposed to look for conflicts.
You are seriously complaining about difficulty in one of the easier RPGs on the market. You suck at video games, you suck at understanding mechanics and you should fuck off.
>>333029186
Super special snowflakes disliking things that many other people like because it makes them feel cultivated and smart
>>333029053
This pic needs added GOTY games like Cisquisition and Skyrim but crossed over by the Polack Shilling Force.
Absolutely gorgeous world and fantastic characters, but the gameplay is a bit samey and the combat is a bit clunky.
Love it though, put 130 hours in happily.

>>333029065
On the contrary, I love ARPGs. They're my favourite genre. There's just not been a big open world fantasy game that I really enjoyed since Skyrim.
And after thinking about it, I'll say it's because Bethesda games, for all their faults, actually make you feel like you're in a world. The Witcher games didn't do that for me.
I've been reaching back and thinking of playing Ultima VII since it's apparently similar.
>>333029186
>people parade something as the best

Not hard to understand. We're all passionate enough about video games to be on a message board for them, you should probably expect some discussion from time to time.
>>333029038
>You're the first I've heard complain that the game is too hard or unfair.
I said neither. I said it's built to be time-consuming and boring.
>>333007954
First game in many, many years that managed to have my attention from beginning to end. The way the game weaves main plot with sidequest seamlessly really had me going for many hours. That was a truly beautiful experience for me and the main reason I replayed the games a few times.
I like the graphics
The soundtrack is breddygud
Combat is meh, but not bad at all.
The story itself could improve, the wild hunt was pretty bland compared to the rest of the game.
/honest, does this make me a shill?

>The weapon's degredation illustrates how you should pick your battles wisely as you can literally burn your money flinging your sword around. Why do you think monsters give so shit XP? You aren't supposed to look for conflicts.
So you're telling me a game designed to be explored punishes you for exploring? Are you serious? Is that why they decided to surround every treasure chest and settlement with monsters? So you'd run away and not check them out? That's bullshit.

Well I feel different. I found the Witcher 3's world to be much more alive and teeming with energy, alot of it thanks thanks to the creatures and characters that inhabit it. FO4 and Skyrim felt like a giant toybox to me, the NPCs are as fake as the pixels they are made of, you have freedom of movement but limited interaction.
It's the little things for me.
>>333029430
That is not what it is and you know it.
There are people on /v/ who will for no other reason than a game being good, popular and well liked hate it and shit on it as much as possible.
It doesn't matter what the game is, if it is good, popular and well liked there are people who will get mad and hate it for no other reason than that.
>>333029815
Oh, I really like Witcher 3. I just feel like you can't really interact with things. You could get property and shit in Skyrim, do mundane things, live off the land, etc.
Witcher as a series was always more focused, but felt less fun because of it.
Uh oh, looks like another game that got too popular for some people
>>333029901
Undertale isn't a good game anon, stop kidding yourself.
>>333029430
>a message board for video games

>>333029282
Yeah I don't really have issues with the combat either. It's pretty witchery as it should be.
>>333029416
Ok thanks, I only read the books until sword of destiny and still hasn't finished TW3. Its ok I can understand but sometimes the 'lets port here, lets port there and I can do anything' just makes it too easy from the story standpoint. No excitement, just meh, yeah she did it of course. Other than that I am quite satisfied.
And for faggots crying for 'muh can't build my own character like in skyrim' of course you fucking can't since you are playing a named character with lots of background to his name and shit.
I would love to play a game however where you are an unnamed witcher (freshly created, for example after TW timeline) and there you would be create you own character.
The stories relating to monsters are awesomeThe baron's child, the Hym at Skellige and the big fat monster underground who claims to be a god and people worship him is breddy good
>>333030013
>Witchery combat
>Not switching between three pointless fucking styles
>>333029807
Yes? How does that contradict what I said? The game becomes easy when you take the time to explore the areas and do quests properly, but that's time consuming and boring. It's difficult if you run from story quest to story quest, but only because the levels are constructed so that you deal no damage but get raped, and the healing items are worthless, which is practically the developers' way of saying YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG, NOW GO ASK THE TOWNSPEOPLE IF THEIR PIGS ARE IN TROUBLE.
>>333029734
Being explored does not mean you have to be stupid about it. Yes. Sometimes it's wise to just avoid combat, it's what you get a fast horse for. You are not Kratos, you are Geralt. Stop playing like a retard and maybe things will start to make sense.
> Is that why they decided to surround every treasure chest and settlement with monsters? So you'd run away and not check them out? That's bullshit.
It's not. Most of the treasures you find are garbage not worth the effort. It's just there as an incentive to explore out of tradition, nothing more. Being an autist that collects every question mark on the map is just gonna give you a bad time. Play the game normally, things work themselves out and once you are lvl14+ the game gets progressively easier until everything bar certain monster hunts becomes trivial.
>>333029985
Undertale is another good example of people hating on a game for no reason other than it being popular and well liked.
The amount of buttrage Undertale generated on /v/ was autism/10.
>>333029991
No this is a taiwanese rice hat weaving platform
>>333029282
The combat is safe and boring. It's not satisfying. It's not bad, but its not good enough to be fun.
Combat was mediocre for the most part, most exciting parts were 1v1 fights with humans or monsters that matched your current power level was exciting.
Getting swamped by wolves and drowners and other shits was the fucking pits.

>Most of the treasures you find are garbage not worth the effort. It's just there as an incentive to explore out of tradition, nothing more.
That's just ridiculous, absurd. It makes the whole "biggest map in a sandbox game ever"-punchline completely meaningless.
>>333007954
it was okay for a bit. then got a bit boring later on. I really liked the different character interactions. all in all it wasn't that great.
Honestly its one of the worst games I have ever played, anyone that liked this game in any way should be shot.
>>333030358
Awww yeah.
>>333030365
To be fair the biggest map punchline is completely meaningless. The only way to enjoy Witcher 3 is to ignore question marks entirely. Only do notice boards, quests, treasure hunts, etc. Random exploration will only bring sorrow.
>>333030641
>>333030358
Janky physics aside, after playing both this and Fallout 4 I can say that the whole dismemberment thing actually does add quite a bit to combat.
These foglets were complete cunts. Interesting little unmarked monster fight, though.
Blood & Wine fucking when?
>>333029962
Well, to me these things stopped being fun when I stopped being a child and had to spend my days working and studying. You find yourself looking for a focused experience because you simply don't have time to stare at virtual weeds grow out on your virtual farm. It's why I stopped playing MMOs too.
I mean I can see the attractionn I used to love Harvest Moon and settler mods in FO:NV. I just don't have the time.
>>333030749
>The only way to enjoy Witcher 3 is to ignore question marks entirely. Only do notice boards, quests, treasure hunts, etc. Random exploration will only bring sorrow.
If you want to get upgraded recipes and formulae, you kinda have to explore a bit. I just do the ones I happen to run into. No point going out of your way for them though.
>>333011178
delete this
I loved it, but then I put it aside for a while
Now I wanted to get back into it, but there's like 20gb of patches and DLC so I gave up
Maybe I'll buy it for like $5 in the summer sales like TW2 so I'll have the full version
>>333007954
It's the best experience I've ever had playing a game.
>>333030893
I too think the Witcher 3 is of the mediocre variety.
>>333024503
>This is the general problem with rockstar's open world games, you need to come up with your own fun/ task
But at least you can, you have enough mini-games, random events and weapons/vehicles to not get bored between missions.
Witcher 3's open world has chests, monster nests and bandits, that's all, after you finish a quest, where you fight monsters/bandits you can either fight more monsters/bandits (but why would you, since the combat is mediocre and you get pretty much no exp from killing enemies) or you can start doing the next quest.
>>333030865
That's kind of a cynical way to look at it.
I work and study, too. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy greater interactivity in a virtual world. Helps with immersion.
>>333030940
>No option to fuck the succubus until your semen mats her leg hair together and subdues her and you can take her to the guard for your reward

>>333030224
Not all loot is randomized, Witcher gear and recipes are always where they should be. You'll get exploring from those, question marks are just artifical quests for when you have nothing else to do to populate the gameworld.
Witcher 3's open world isn't even that huge, FFXV has an exponentially larger gameworld. Means nothing.

I am cynical yes. But I also want to maximize my free time. Wasting it watching virtual weed grow isn't my idea of it. But taking in a story and it's characters, a good one, is most certainly enjoyable.
Different strokes for different people, I guess. I still found TW3 to be a far more fulfilling experience than Beth's recent iterations, but I won't hold it against you if you feel differently.
>>333030952
I agree with this fellow. TW3 is overrated.
>>333031134
That's basically what witcher fighting styles are. Being light and quick, like a ballerina.
Kill yourself queer
If you want story and characters, good. If you want good gameplay and fluid combat, bad.
>>333032416
The gameplay is more than serviceable. Gameplay includes more than combat, like dialogue, walking, gwent, etc
TW3 did something fucking great with it's quests. I think it was the dialogue and the way, even during menial quests, you'd have the opportunity to influence Geralt's dialogue. And even during menial quests, the characters were really well written, to the point where I was doing all the sidequests because I wanted to hear more from Geralt and these other characters.
And the way these sidequests were spread throughout the world was good too. I kind of naturally settled into doing the main quest a bit, then when I wanted a break I'd do a few side quests, which made the game really well paced. Normally I get burnt out on open world games like Skyrim because really all Skyrim has going for it is exploration- all the quests and characters stink. But in TW3 it was the other way around, and for me (being a longtime P&P and CRPG player) those are the reasons I get so into roleplaying games.
I can't wait for Blood and Wine. With Hearts of Stone CDPR listened to criticism and made a ton of improvements that made HoS, in a lot of ways, better than the base game. The level of detail they put into TW3 puts virtually every other open world game to shame (bar maybe Rockstar).
Are you restricted to swords in this game, or can you use other weapons?
I know you can use crossbows but I was hoping for maybe an axe or a spear.
Any tips before i start playing the first Witcher?
Want to play the series from the start to finish and not just get into the latest installment.
>>333035537
only tips i can think of are;
-savescum every game of dicepoker
-if you're in a combat area and can pull out your sword, do it, then run in fast stance- game has a lot of backtracking so you'll want to zip around quicker
-keep 1 of every animal teeth/fang for the final two chapters, a dentist will give you a sword for a number of teeth so keep at least 1 barghast fang
-talk to the royal huntsman in every chapter, ask him about monster contracts and go do them, do them all and you get a sword towards the end of the game
-if you want to be a completionist then look here http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Romance_Cards some romance cards are unavailable after certain chapters so don't miss out if you care about that kind of shit (town clerk's romance card is awesome fap material)
-stick with the game. first two or three chapters can be mindnumbingly slow but once the story picks up it gets really good. a lot of people end up even enjoying the combat towards the end of the game
>>333035948
Alright. Thanks.
I heard about the start being slow and have no problem with that.
>>333007954
My personal GOTY of 2015, but I didn't really play a lot of games last year.
>>333036268
it's entirely worth it to go through tw1 if you have every intention of playing tw3. people who didn't play tw1 and started with tw2 miss out on a lot of great callbacks in the kaer morhen area of tw3. it's also worth it to see how much the voice direction changed over the course of the three games. doug cockle goes from really wooden VA for geralt to actually delivering some really powerful performances in TW3
>>333036450
Thats why i am doing it.
If the chance is there i prefer getting the full experience.
Witcher 3 fucked up a lot of things, namely some later story parts, combat, loot systems, etc.
But it still had enough of an atmosphere and other good elements to beat out other contenders. This is a fucking FACT. What else could've won GOTY? Dark Souls 2.5 that costs around $500? Bethesda's yearly shitshow?
Come on, guys.

Combat is all right, but not nearly as bad as bad as most people on /v/ claim.
Characters are interesting enough.
Game is pretty long

That's not really what the cuckolding fetish means, is it? It's supposed to be different than just being cheated on.
>>333035948
>-keep 1 of every animal teeth/fang for the final two chapters
This includes a barghest skull from the prologue area. Make absolutely certain you have one in your inventory after you beat the Hellhound.
>>333037043
For a fucking long time she WAS spoiled teenage girl (protip: Rats). Read the fucking books.
>>333038005
cuckold, from it's earliest origins in the english language, refers to the husband of a wife who is having an affair. a cuckold is said to grow horns and hooves and a tail because his wife is fucking other men.
of course nowadays people call almost anything cuckolding.
Pretty much the only good game to come out of the industry since I can even remember.

Slav here, I'll give it that the environments and their atmosphere are quite lovely done, but
>authentic monster and armour design
Apart from the witches and some ghosts, monster design still bogs down to that typical toothed gnarly faced zbrush kreeechuurrr design
with tons of random pointy bits that's the current big circlejerk in the ''concept artist'' community (see shit like hound of the wild hunt, katakans etc.
you should know what I'm talking about, some of em just look out of place),
and aside from the few more Slavic inspired monsters, most of them are still the typical Greek myth legendary beasts commonly used in European fantasy ( sirens, griffins, cyclops, harpies etc.) with a sprinkle of German/Scandinavian ( which have basically some equivalents of Slavic myth monsters and vice versa).
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that all the ''ideas'' of these monsters are bad or shouldn't be there, they have a good basis,
but the actual designs themselves are quite uninspired and forgettable imo.
The armour design I find is a mixed bag, some decent stuff, but tends to lose overall cohesion
as they try to cram more and more ''stuff'' onto a set (also studded leather crap and straps in alot of cases).
It's generally just slightly more interesting ''typical Tolkein/GoT/fantasy TV show '' armour design, I do appreciate the more colorful gambersons and similar,
I'd like to see more things like that, but let's not delve into the ''authenticity'' of these armors.
They can still be fantasy, well OFC, but I'd rather developers take their inspiration more from historical stuff directly
than things that are currently popular on tv/film, or first few google image searches.
>>333011508
yes, TLOU was also released at the end of the console generation when almost everyone owned a ps3 because there were more reasons to own a ps3 than just TLOU
bloodborne is the only worthwhile exclusive the ps4 has gotten in its current lifespan. why the fuck would people buy a ps4 for one game
