What is your honest opinion of this game?
I like it quite a lot
>>339839693
better than TW2.
inferior than TW1
>>339839693
My honest opinion? I think it's overrated as fuck.
Story is mediocre and the gameplay is shit. Graphics are decent I guess. The combat system is literally the worst thing about it.I haven't played it :)
perfect
You know, it's pretty overrated, but in spite of all of that, I still had and am having a great fuckin time of it. It has it's flaws and all, but goddamn is it fun. Plus the story and characters are pretty neat. Decent worldbuilding too.
Very immersive, it's the kind of game that hurts when it ends, the kind that makes you not want to play anything else for days.
>>339839693
best game i played in the last years.
but i don't like heart of stone.
>>339839693
Pretty great. Felt sad when I finished it.
Dunno why, but it created a strong feeling of having been on an adventure with a particular character that I hadn't really felt since I played Deus Ex for the first time
>>339839693
I love it, my personal game of the year for both 2015, and after the expansion it just received, 2016.
>>339839693
Genuinely love it.
Feels like the most well produced AAA game out there.
Do not regret pre-ordering the CE for a second. But I was seriously scared after all the delays and the downgrade was confirmed.
Hate it. Mostly because it's so vastly overrated.
amazing
Not much of a game. It has a total of 4 gameplay elements if you don't count managing menus which is all Alchemy is, and 3/4 of those elements are done incredibly poorly.
In terms of the story, it's not an awful concept in terms of Ciri and The Wild Hunt, but the pacing is so wonky and the exposition is all done in flashback monologues. The climax is done 10 hours before the story ends and attempts to shoehorn another climax that is both introduced and fulfilled in the final, tacked on act.
The experience brought 3 positively notable aspects; Atmosphere, Dialogue and Lighting.
If this is the future of "RPGs", I'm truly afraid.
>>339839693
Nothing because I haven't played it
It's an artistic vision, within a great and well developed universe with some of the best and most inventive story lines in games. It's an excellent game imo.
>>339839960
Kill yourself faggot
>>339839693
would 8.5/10 if it didn't have shitty combat
It's a crowning achievement in games
>>339839693
havent finished it because im sick of my computer running it like shit
Only real complaint is that doing the main quest is like hitting a red light every 10 times on a 2 minute drive
combat is like zelda, very simple and boring, 80% of the game involves you running around larping everywhere and talking to everyone because muh rpg elements in this fantasy world. I almost finished the game but it was too much, it's like doing every quest in WoW, no one does that shit
>>339842631

I haven't played it and it's shit with shitty combat. Just play a souls game if you want fantasy.
>>339839693
pretty cool story and card game
too bad the "game" part of the game is pretty garbage
>>339839693
Bad gameplay/10.
>>339843847
The way the story is structured I felt like I couldn't make one step of progress without being 'sidetracked' to do pointless shit
Sort of like Darksiders 2's go-do-3-things syndrome or One Small Favour
>>339839693
One of the best games i've played in my life
imo desu Witcher 3 and Persona 4 are the only two RPGs from the past 10 years which match the SNES/PSX era quality
>>339839693
Streamlined garbage that's more fun to watch than play. I'm convinced that the people who call it one of the best RPGs ever are probably the same people who called TLoU the "Citizen Kane of gaming".
It's great and one of the few games that made me feel sad after finishing it, not because the ending was sad but because it was over.
>>339839693
I think its great. Its biggest issues are clunky menus and clunky movement/combat controls. Clunky Menus was completely fixed with the latest patch. If they ever do a patch to make the controls for movement and combat a bit smoother and more polished it would have no major flaws IMO. The only thing about the game that is actually shit is the horse controls. Roach controls like ass to the point where it negatively effects my enjoyment of the game. Everything else though is either fantastic or small nitpicks that dont hurt the overall enjoyment of the game.
>>339845226
I agree with you completely. Persona 4 is my current GOAT, with Witcher 3 taking second place.
>>339839693
A fucking masterpiece. It's essentially an Asscreed game with an interesting story and great worldbuilding. They managed to make tedious and similar sidequests not so tedious and similar by actually making an effort to write a simple story for each monster hunt. No fucking loading screens. Amazing soundtrack. Decent combat. And even with all the downgrades it's still beautiful. Perhaps the best looking openworld game.
The only downsides are somewhat rushed ending and lousy bosses but they redeemed themselves with the great expansion. Yet to play BaW but I'm sure they still got it.
Can't wait till Cyberpunk.
Really good. Not flawless but one of the best games I've played in my life. The expansions are great too. Hearts of Stone has a great narrative and characters. Blood and Wine has a weaker narrative but having a whole new area to explore made up for it.
>>339839960
stay classy /v/ :^)
>>339839693
TW3 is in my top 3 of all time famalam
>>339845425
This
Questing is no fun because it is either kill these enemies or run around with your batman senses activated
>>339839896
Nostalgia is fucking with you, my man.
it's the greatest game of all time
there is nothing now that I am excited for
in fact I sold my gaming PC on ebay after finishing B&W
>>339839693
It's probably the best storytelling/branching plotline structure we've ever had in a video game.
It's also one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. Nice hair physics, armor/textured clothing, etc. And the environments are amazing - whether mountain passes, muddy swamps, the open sea - it all looks good.
Unfortunately, the movement controls are absolute dogshit, where it feels like you can't even get down a ladder or go through a door correctly. The horse controls are terrible, but I actually think it's OK because it feels like trying to steer a stupid horse around.
And the worst is the combat, which is a complete chore to get through. Your attacks take random amounts of time to wind-up depending on the animation that the game randomly chooses, so you never feel like you have a safe window to attack in. On top of that, a lot of the monsters are faster than you, which exacerbates the problem. Finally, a lot of enemies have periods of time where the game decides you're not allowed to attack them, and you just can't get through their shields no matter how many times you strike at them, so there's no true "guard break" and it just feels cheap and stupid. The level up/skill system is also terribad.
If the game actually had a working combat system it would probably be GOAT.
P.S. I love gwent
>>339846814
but the animations last the same period of time for the same attack - your perception is confused because some of those spins should last longer in your opinion
also there are multiple skills in the game that allow you to get through shields and guards
>>339839960
well done, you made the best parody of a person who shits on witcher 3 for sole basis of combat ever.
I'm quite proud of you anon
>>339846814
>. Your attacks take random amounts of time to wind-up depending on the animation that the game randomly chooses
This is true for TW2 which was the main reason I hated this game's combat. They fixed it in 3.
>>339847035
That's not true at all. If you walk up to enemies and hit light attack sometimes Geralt will quickly stab at an enemy, other times he will spin in a circle and then slash afterward. And even if the attacks were consistent, there is such a long delay between hitting the button and Geralt actually doing anything that it feels like garbage.
>>339846802
>not being excited for CP 2077
>>339844038
>getting wrong sword for a monster or being underlevelled yet still trying to make this argument
Fuck off.
>>339846814
>our attacks take random amounts of time to wind-up depending on the animation that the game randomly chooses,
the game always chooses the same attack based on your inputs. If you're holding away from an enemy when you attack, you do a different attack to moving towards them, but you'll always attack the same way if you press the buttons right. It's very useful for counter-attacking enemies.
>a lot of enemies have periods of time where the game decides you're not allowed to attack them,
use one of your two dodge buttons to get behind them. Enemies turn round very, very slowly.
you can also guard break all human enemies by spraying them for a second with the upgraded igni
i'm sure everyone who complains about the combat in this game dropped the difficulty to the easiest setting and mashed M1
>>339847321
>the game always chooses the same attack based on your inputs.
This is outright false.
A 9/10 vanilla game made into a 10/10 by Hearts of Stone and then downgraded into an overall 8/10 by Blood and Wine.
>>339847321
>i'm sure everyone who complains about the combat in this game dropped the difficulty to the easiest setting and mashed M1
Nah, it's because its limiting, repetitive and overall too simplistic and boring to carry a 100+ hour long movi-.... """""Game""""".
I think it's an RPG done fucking right for one, choices done right. I wish the other big companies would follow suit but they probably won't. Fucking dumb good/evil shit in bioware and Bethesda games. I love how witcher is just choices, good, bad, right, wrong, isn't thrown in your face like some fucking ape. The player gets to weigh out his choices and decide for himself, that's good storytelling. But you don't see the devs touting about it either like that fucking faggot Todd. God I hate him.
>>339846814
>you just can't get through their shields no matter how many times you strike at them
Jesus fucking christ do you just spam L1 you fucking idiot?
>>339847605

You mean like the "morally gray" White Hunt (who's sole motive is "moer power") and Whoreson Jr?
Such complexity.
would be a 10/10 if i didnt have to play as a preset protagonist.
>>339847573
>the webm posting autist

>>339847757
>You mean like the "morally gray" White Hunt
what choice are you reffering to?
>>339847286
>memepunk
sadly not my cup of tea
let's hope they make a good business decision and the game after CP will be a TW sequel
>>339847756
No, but some enemies have a stamina bar, whereas others just randomly will block everything, including heavy attacks, because the game wants you to only be able to use magic/wait for an opening instead of having real combat.
The worst example of this is von everec, who will stand there all day blocking every one of your attacks, then counter as soon as you stop. You can repeat this over and over again. You just attack him until he blocks, dodge his counter, then repeat ad infinitum. It's garbage.
I'm not some cretin, I don't just mash buttons, and even think some of the magic is fun, but the combat is just dogshit.
>>339847573
what's wrong with the guy doing that in the webm? if it works let him do it. you can do the same in souls games, and yet nobody ever makes these kinds of webms for those games? are you that angry redditor?
I fucking love it, and B&W is awesome so far, I'm taking it really slow. I remember not liking the combat when I first started playing, but after I got gud, I actually liked it a lot more.
Great game.
>>339847987
>instead of having real combat.
lol
if you wave away a whole part of the combat, of course you're gonna find it simplistic
you're supposed to use signs you humongous faggot
this is like Arin never using his items and complaining LoZ combat is slow
Really good all round apart from the combat, the combat is shit.
>>339839693
The usual
>>339848101
Sick ad hominems bro. As I've stated, I use the signs & etc., but that doesn't stop the combat from being really limited and feeling like trash. I don't understand why people get so defensive over a video game. The rest of it is pretty fun, but I just dread the combat because it's really quite boring and samey.
>>339839693
I like it. I don't understand this le bad combat meme, I thought the combat was pretty well done for what it is. Parrying, counterattacking, dodging, and signs were barrels of fun.
I thought it was pretty good. I liked the characters, story, the quests and the world itself. But one thing that really holds it back are those terribly controls. I don't know why they made Geralt so annoying to control. You get used to it over time, but it's so stupid how early I need to let go of the analog stick so my character stops at the right spot. Everything is just so delayed and it feels like I'm only partially in control.
It's a pity really, the game could be twice as enjoyable if the controls were responsive. I've still played through the game and I'm currently playing the new expansion. I still like it. Just saying it could've been something more.
>>339847992
#> you can do the same in souls games
Get me a single enemy where you can hit and side step (not abuse i frames, I mean hit and side step safely out of the enemy attack) without the enemy doing some 360 degrees attack that wrecks your shit.
Go on, i'll wait for the video.
>>339848239
>I don't understand why people get so defensive
because you say stupid shit like "baaaaaw I kept mashing LMB and it didn't break their guard"
seriously
>>339848367
Seriously, that's not what I said anywhere. You're making straw men and attacking me personally for no reason, because the game has shit combat. Get fucked you cretin
>>339847926

it's exactly what you said

Don't try to back down, change your words, or claim it isn't what you meant. It's what you wrote, and it was dumb as shit. Hence why people get mad.

Pretty good and comfiest of 2015. Combat is alright but not as bad as /v/ makes it out to be. They should have given geralts combat animation more "weight" imo tho.

I really enjoyed it, one of my favorite games. I won't deny it has some serious game mechanic flaws though like its loot system, simplistic combat that dulls easily, overreliance on witcher senses and some boring filler content, but I thought exploring and engaging in side content was really damn good fun. The main story isn't that great, but the characters and the journey you've went on since the books and through all the games makes it so bittersweet to see it all come to an end. It's not really something you play for its gameplay, but I will remember it as something I enjoyed greatly.

>>339850298
He's looking for more webms probably.
Honestly, I really appreciate the storytelling. Not necessarily the plot itself, but the way the story is told along with all the twists and branching quests was really cool. I think the combat is definitely fun but flawed, there's no real reason to invest in potions oils or other supplemental equipment unless you're hunting things higher level then you, or you're on death march, the combat never gets that difficult. I played on the difficulty below that. And my biggest problem was horse gameplay and how Geralt moves like a bigwheel when you're walking around.
>>339850419
So much this
Let's all wait for the spam showing early game bugs with difficulty on baby level
Normally I'd say it's just above average, but in comparison to what else is around, it's fucking awesome and the best RPG in a long time.
Also the story and sidequests actually keep me entertained.
>>339847992
so many bosses in the souls games have a strategy that's like "hug the right leg and hit him a lot"
>>339839693
its ok. I prefered tw1 and tw2 for the atmosphere/story/characters.
Still a solid game, little bit disappointed about the downgrade.
>>339839693
I really wanted to like it, but for some reason did not.
Biggest problem was probably the combat. It was very flighty and awkward. HUGE improvement over TW2, but it still felt strange. While I tend to appreciate games where you can't take many hits, in TW3 it is frustrating beyond all else, as you generally only get hit when Geralt does not move like expected to. It seems to be totally random were Geralt will sometimes fling himself at a distant enemy when you attack, and sometimes he just swings in place. That's my number one cause of death by far.
It also suffers from Ubisoftitius, where everything you can possibly find it marked clear as day on the map. Granted they are as ?s, but you still know exactly where to go, which means exploring is pointless. You're just checking off the ?s before proceeding.
The Barons story was a ton of fun, but the main story wasn't very compelling. I didn't have much of a drive to keep playing it after the Baron quest was done. I did end up playing a great deal more, but none of it was as interesting as the Baron quests.
Playing Blood and Wine prompted me to listen to the soundtrack again, I'm astonished it didn't win more awards for it.

A MASTERPIECE
Overall with both dlcs (still playing BaW) it's the best game I've played in the last 6 years
It sucks overall.
The main story is so poor developed and the villians are one of the worst I have ever seen in my life. If you think this is a good story you have never read a book or played a game like this and you are probably some retarded highschooler who thinks that he is so clever and intellectual cause you heard that the story is so good. Something like Bioshock Infinite.
The combat is crap. I'm playing BaW right know and I'm remembering bad days. What a fucking crap man, it's not functional at all, Geralt does whatever he wants and the combat is buit to be a pure spamming button since the IA and hitboxes are shit and Geralt movements are rough and limited.
The open world use is bad too, npc don't talk and 95% of missions come from finishing the main campaing missions or taking the papers of a bulleting board that you can see in the map. There is no point for this game to be an open world, they dont use, the interest points are bullshit.
Graphics are good and it has some interesting moments and some good soundtracks, but overall it's probably on of the worst wrpg AAA in recent years, I don't know where all this fanboys and good ratings are coming.
First of all, I finished full game with both dlcs on max difficulty.
This game sold any copies for one reason: no games. Literally. There were no RPGs of any quality around for years, so people bought it, despite it takes all worst parts and repeats most shitty mistakes of the genre. In details:
- Melee combat system is aids poor shit. This game has a lot of stuff to kill and if you are playing full melee, prepare to be bored to death. Two types of attack and alt dodge which shouldn't be timed because you can input it in the middle of any action. Pathetic.
- Signs build is overpowered shit but at least have variety.
- Alchemy build is overpowered shit which turns you into unkillable tank.
- Nothing to spend money on, merchants never have any gear which you can use.
- Poor gear system overall, 0 interesting mechanics and value, no point in spending time building any set because you will end up not using it.
- Interface is the worst clusterfuck you will ever encounter in your life, even after recent patches it is still terribly organized.
- Side quests are mostly pathetic, they claimed "there is no gather 20 pieces of something", instead every quest is "use witcher senses to go from point a to point b and slay the monster", at least they have some backstory and interesting characters, but still too fucking repetitive.
- Gear sockets are boring +5 damage shit
Etc. It is simply shitty slasher with slow boring enemies and 2 buttons to mash. Just watch cutscenes on youtube instead of wasting time on that game.
Also:
- Graphics downgraded into oblivion.
- Game is buggy as fuck. Release version was a disaster, never playing any CDP game before goty edition ever again.
I really like the amosphere, the characters and the story.
But the gameplay is awfull, especially boss battle.
The gameplay i sso bad I still haven't ended the game.

One of my favourite games ever. Am I the only one who likes the combat? On death march enemies are a real threat and you have to adapt to the fight, It's not amazing, but I really don't find it to be bad, much less as terrible as everyone seems to say.

You summed up TW3 pretty well for someone who has never played it, because that was pretty much spot on.
>>339852707
I don't like the combat but I also don't think it is the worst thing ever, unlike some hyperbolic memers.
Also HoS actually had some interesting boss battles. I think the worst thing about the gameplay was the lack of interesting enemies to fight. There weren't a whole lot.
>>339852763
>Movement is clunky garbage shit though.
Let me guess, you hated GTA IV too.
>>339852707
I never gained a true appreciation for the combat until I played Death March. All of the mechanics feel like they were designed with this mode in mind.
>>339839693
One of the best games I've ever played and if it were less well known, /v/ would think the same thing and be sucking its cock. But it got popular so you all have to be a bunch of hipster contrarian faggots about it like usual.

will flawlessly dodge any incoming attack in the last second
Witcher3's combat reminds me of Batman's combat, only with invisible command prompts
>>339852985
Eh GTA IV was way more livable then W3,
I get the realistic movement they're going for but when I just want to go somewhere and not get caught on a small fence/stick/rock just let me do it.
Again It's my only complaint about the game.
It's fantastic. Not without its flaws, though, but does almost everything a hell of a lot better than any other game, especially in the AAA sector, and its amazing to see how far they've come from the Witcher 1 days, in terms of writing and production value among other things.
dat music tho
>>339852987
End this meme right now. Combat problems have nothing to do with the difficulty. That said, If you want to make us think that the game in End March is more difficult=more tactical=better combat....let me say this: End march is a fucking joke like the other 3, easy as fuck, end with this meme right now.
>>339851959
>Game is buggy as fuck
Why are you lying on the internet? I played through the whole game with the release version and there wasn't a single major bug.
Also, please tell me a single RPG from the last ten years that had better sidequests.

This has literally been 3 decades of JRPGs, and it was shit the first time they did it.
The games became impossible to lose, the writing became worse; and it was inferior in every way to the actual RPGs they were attempting to mimic.
If TW3 frightens you but the reality that there are games with gameplay that has always been far worse than even Planescape Torment have been fairly popular doing the same shit without evolution for THREE DECADES then I don't know, maybe you just feel a way you want yourself to feel. But this is dogshit, and always has been.

I checked it out and I'll definitely be keeping it on from now on, I'd favor better movement over realistic build up momentum any day.
>>339854226
I don't really think you have to play the game using the senses to reveal a footprint trail that is right in front of you shown on the screen, and largely I didn't; but the problem with that is a lot of things don't activate unless you do.
If it weren't for that I don't think people would have a lot to complain about what would be an optional thing.
Even still, the fact that people hardly mention that most clues are evidenced without using it makes me think they weren't even trying to play without it but bitched anyway.
>>339847495
I don't get that "Blood&Wine is bad" thing, is it because it's new so everything that came before is suddenly better?
I agree that HoS had the best story but that's where it stops, everything in B&W is better than in the main game, especially the side quests, and HoS has nothing on it content wise.
>>339839693
id prefer if that yellow objective dot was on the screen itself showing where to go instead fixed to the corner of my screen. but other than that its good.
>>339854226
>Story is dull with bad dialogue options
Nope, not even a little bit quit lying
The combat get a 1/2 point and the witcher senses can be a convenient crutch sometimes, so it gets another 1/2 point
There's your 9/10
>>339854598
Not the guy you answered to, but I just finished B&W and I have to say I was a tad disappointed by the main story. It had some fantastic moments, but sometimes I felt like I got railroaded in a way the main game didn't.
Most of the sidequests I played so far are really great, though, you're right about that.

>>339855389
It does count, he ran away for AoE attacks.
I said:
>"Get me a single enemy where you can hit and side step (not abuse i frames, I mean hit and side step safely out of the enemy attack) without the enemy doing some 360 degrees attack "
You can't do that on him, you have to run away at specific intervals or else you get rekt.
>>339855269For being kind of a smaller quest, I was really impressed with how well it was doneThe Cat had a lot of development as a character in such a short amount of time, and the end when Geralt sat down to think about what had happened really hit a spot for me
>>339855228
Why is it always the Soulsfags shitting on the Witcher? These games don't have a lot in common.
Also, if you think the Souls series does anything better than TW3 other than the combat, you're insane. If the combat is the main focus for you - that's fine. Why are you shitting on people that enjoy a different game for different reasons, though?
does blood and wine have real boss fights with mechanics like Hearts of stone?
>>339855618
You know, that's what I love this game for. The little things in side quests. When you do something, you feel like it made an impact.

Felt bad for a longer while
picked it up today to try to start the DLC couldnt be bothered to
struggled with the shit controls to do basic tasks. control scheme still retarded, enemies just spawning out of thin air infront of me while i try to meditate, because its at some pirate den
the same stupid momentum based movement is there, so its a clusterfuck trying to do nuanced control of your character, like turning around in place, or trying to do combat effectively.
and the menu is still a fuck, having to go into it for literally every little thing this game demands of you, is annoying,
>>339839693
Plot, plot, plot, plot, plot and more plot.
In between the plot, I blew up monsters with bombs that exploded into several fragments.
It's an extremely well-written plot, but did I seriously spend 120 hours playing the game? No, I experienced a plot, rode my horse from point A to B because fast travel is for shiters, found ancient relics to be sold for a few hundred coins because merchants are fucking jews and picked herbs in the woods like a faggot.
All and all, it's a masterpiece of a game by modern standards, but the problem I hate modern video games; Witcher 3 has become the hallmark and standard for open world games and RPGs in general
>>339855778
If we talking about Bloodborne and TW3 then " does anything better than TW3 other than the combat" is just false and literally bait. The game design in Bloodborne is godlike
Also, I like Witcher 3, but it's getting some big fucking praise than it should be. It's good as "modern wrpg". but not as good as true wrpg should be
Was there a game released in this decade with a good storyline, solid combat, great world and really impressive graphics, a game that could suck you in for over 200 hours total?
Can't think of any other than Witcher 3 really.
>>339855491
Why? Not judging just curious
>>339839693
combat feels retarded sometimes like really retarded
quest are quite fun for the most part
crafting system is good too

>>339856320
>Was there a game released in this decade with a good storyline, solid combat, great world and really impressive graphics, a game that could suck you in for over 200 hours total?
GTA V, Skyrim, Red Dead Redemption.
This game is absolutely horrible. I guess it's an alright rpg but I just can't handle the amount of pointless not action missions and HOLY SHIT I know it's RPG but the amount of dialogue...holy shit
>>339853746
>why are you lying about bugs
>there were only minor bugs
Nice job being a retard.
Well, glad you played through the game so poorly, because there were plenty, you can google. Blood and Wine is a fucking clusterfuck, just go to the witcher reddit right now and read about completing quest breaks combat mechanics and other interesting stuff.
Also:
>please tell me a single RPG from the last ten years that had better sidequests
>after I said this game sold because no RPGs are around
Nice job not being able to read.
W3 sidequests could be interesting story-wise, that is true, but gameplay-wise this "witcher senses" bullshit is not better than "go slay 20 wolves" trash. And riddles like "shoot 4 buttons with the crossbow after witcher said to do it loudly as they are glowing red" is a fucking degenerate tier shit, not even going to discuss that with you if you are rejecting the retardness of that.
garbage
>>339854732
>World = 10/10
A great world with a ton of stuff to explore, loved every second that I didn't spend in combat travelling from place to place.
>Story = 5/10
Most of the time you are just a problem solver doing mundane shit for other people with 3 types of answers for every question: "Yes" "Magic Yes without consequences" or "Fuck you"
>Combat = 2/10
Is there any debate? Great foundation just not build upon and feels tremendously lacking and almost every monster feels the same.
They could've had some other dialogue hints from exploring/hunting the monster and that you actually had to prepare for fights, but instead its all "Claw marks, huge. Gut split right open, must be big."
>Characters = 6/10
Couldn't help but having a constant hope of meeting more new characters, only to get disappointed with old ones returning. "Ha, you thought it was a new character? no, it is me! Roche!" "Ha, new characters to further the story with? no, it is me! broken leg guy" They were fine characters, just feels a bit cheap using the same ones over and over again and ruins the surprise of meeting new characters and motives
7/10 is the best I can give it
>>339856589
GTA V can fit most of it but I felt like the storylines were rather boring, that's just me though. The game is not 200+h though and don't shout online at me, we're talking single player only.
You're baiting with Skyrim.
RDR I can give you, but still, not 200h.
>>339855937
Check the alternate movement option, somewhere in the gameplay options I think.
>>339855086
I finished the game because story is worth and there is nothing else to play this year at all.
But that is far from masterpiece as some retards are trying to put it. Gameplay is mediocre at best.

>>339857006
Are you trying to defend Skyrims graphics, storyline, and combat? It's one of the worst in video games.
>>339857114
Because Witcher is not online, meaning you can't judge it the same way with GTA V?
You're a retard, man.
I got this game a few days after it came out on my pc and I gotta say, I love the graphics and armors. But....that's about it. The story, at least for me, isn't very interesting or immersive. The combat doesn't feel right, like it's clunky or just not as responsive as I'd like it to be, I can't put my finger on it. I like that it has a ton of side missions and Witcher contracts and most of them sure are unique but also start getting pretty generic. I really tried to like it OP, I swear, but so far the only thing I really like about it are the graphics, particularly the armor sets. I thought it was a pretty solid game when it came out but when I started seeing that it got perfect 10/10 and 9/10 and that it eventually won GOTY against MGSV and fucking Bloodborne, I started to grow a hate. Not a hate for the game itself but the fact that I felt like I was missing something or wasn't doing something in the game that won it GOTY. I felt cheated anon. How the hell did an 8/10 game win fucking GOTY? I played the whole god damn thing and it sure as hell wasn't GOTY material. Does anyone else feel the same?
>>339857006

>>339840798
What the fuck are you talking about? This has been the standard RPG format for decades. Black Isle, Bioware, Troika, etc have all followed this format of Dialogue heavy RPGs with passable at best combat systems. The only thing that's changed is the production quality.

Probably, depends on how bad your PC is but the game is pretty well optimized. Still would be shame to run it at sub PS4 quality or framerate.
You know a game is when it gets half of /v/ praising it and the other half triggered at the mention of its name.

So I recently became interested in that series and started playing the first game. I'm loving the general sense of adventure, focus on choices without stooping to mass effect tier black and white, and general questing. Besides the outdated production, however, the only aspect I don't enjoy is the shitty combat. I think it's boring and the muddy feeling parries/dodges don't work well, leaving it as just a basic select the right sword/style and click every time in a basic rhythm. I hear everyone talk shit on the Witcher 3's combat, but can it really be worse than this? Imagining bamham combat in this game sounds much more satisfying than the actual system
>>339858642
>>339858572
My sides literally hurt. Blaming it on drinking alone.
>>339858069
It's optimized pretty well. I run at on my laptop (965m, i7 @ 2.6 ghz, 8gbs of ram) at 40-50 FPS with a mix of high/low settings (mainly shadow, grass density and shit on low), and post processing mostly off (save for low sharpening, AA and vignetting). 20 hours in and its still good.

>>339858418
Awesome. You are entitled to your shit opinion. I guess my idea of a game isn't 90% cinematics and exposition listening and the other 10% following quest markers.
Assuming they are all different people, out of the Four, who is the worst/most annoying shitposter: The Witcher autist, the Bloodborne autist, Barneyfag, or the Undertale autist? I couldn't think of a better word for them than autist. Asshole maybe?
