Serviceable gameplay, generally good graphics especially for an open world game on consoles, a decent story with well written characters, many side quests that manage to feel unique with dialogue and choices, actual consequences for small/big decisions, fantastic music, and an alright conclusion to a trilogy for once. Also, if I remember correctly its biggest competition was Inquisition. If anything it did blow that out of the water.

DLC is also pretty good.

It's a good game.

>>341844471
They did just about everything related to a PC release near flawlessly, even with the downgrade (support patches that actually fixed shit and added options for gameplay and menu features, modding, free DLC, paid DLC that's actually worth the money, even patching in a new control setting that fixed the weird floatyness) while the story itself was a blast to play through, even if the combat was merely okay (and even then, it's not really bad, just has a shitty leveling system that makes everything a breeze past a certain point in the game.)

Then you have some thin skin, especially surprising if you've been around /v/ for a while.

And of course like 50% or more posts bash games. Most of the time threads are either praising a game or bashing it. That's the entire basis of discussing a lot of games is talking about the good and bad. None of this is new. The only difference is that shitposting runs more rampant, but then avoid shitty threads.

I'm really enjoying The Witcher 3 so far, bitches are hot too. I recommend (if on pc) to get the lingerie remove mod and realistic anatomy mods. You could go full nude mod but I think that break immersion imo.

It's the same mentality on rating movies on metacritic. 0 - It's not that great, 10 - It's ok.

But Witcher 3 is shit. It's about on par with modern Bioware games.

>>341848247
>0 - It's not that great

Artistic direction and drought, Bioware games look like abominable godforsaken shit and while Souls looks appealing it isn't the best game to just walk through. The Witcher is literally the only open world fantasy game on PC and consoles to look very solid both graphically and artistically.
>>
>>341848305
I don't think it's a 0. Maybe a 5, 6 at most. While it has nice graphics, its actual gameplay is barebones and clumsy, intended more as filler between story segments rather than being something mechanically solid of its own.

It's pretty much the Uncharted of RPGs. You listen to the story unfold with pretty graphics but sometimes you wish the game didn't even let you play because it feels like filler content that the devs just halfassed since they're obviously more interested in being storytellers.

Well said, in fact I agree. At times I almost feel the 'game' gets in the way of the story but I still feel it helps with immersion and gives it a total score of around 7 or 7.5 which is honestly quite good. The Story is very well done and the graphics are pretty as fuck.

Except for that MGS is much more popular and much more well known and /mgg/ was filled with lament and sorrow over how bad V was for months after its release.

This is what the Witcher fans look like when left to their own. There is nothing to talk about in Witcher 3 besides the girls. The game is completely empty. Once you get past the novelty of graphics, it becomes an even worse Witcher 2. Hell even the girls looked better in Witcher 2.

If the gameplay was good TW3 would easily be one of the best games of all time. But since it's shit (I wouldn't say its serviceable... for normies of course it is) I hate the game so much it made me switch to easy so I could get through the boring combat as fast as possible.

It's like the made a bad crossover between Dark Souls and Arkham Asylum combat.

That's funny because there's still daily Bloodborne discussion threads while are there are literally none for witchershit, which isn't a surprise since there's nothing to talk about, it's a bland, boring, empty open world casual ''''RPG'''' with shitty Ass Creed combat that tries to make up for it with le story but fails at that too.

How does it stack up to The Witcher 2? I thought TW2 was fantastic and loved everything about it aside from the combat, which wasn't godawful, but was a bit too much of a roll fest for me. I get enough fucking rolling in Souls.

TW3 just doesn't look as good to me by comparison, but I'm willing to give it a chance. I just don't know if it's worth it on PS4. I was going to play it on PC but I may just pull the trigger on the PS4 version.

TW3 has many stories in the game most of which are better than any individual game. The plot itself is not that amazing and the conclusion is about the same, but the journey, everything that happens along the way and every story you experience are pretty top notch. Which is exactly the way an RPG should be.

IDK what's up with these cucks, this kind of blatant shitposting seems rampant. I wish people wouldn't use good games to shitpost or push platform war bullshit; The Witcher games are RPGs (CPGs?), and Souls/borne are 3rd person action with character progression elements. There's really nothing going on in the way of dialog, choice, or role playing. The story in Souls/borne is part of the setting, just an element of the backdrop. The Witcher is an RPG telling a story through the player's choices.

IDK why I'm explaining this, everyone on /v/ should and probably does know this. It's ridiculous that we have to have these kinds of discussions.

I'm really not surprised. I love Bloodborne, but it's not the kind of game that gets mass appeal awards. Anybody can get through a Witcher game, it isn't about challenge. It's about role playing. But very few of the people are into this kind of shit are going to bother to beat Bloodborne. They'll put it down as soon as they get stuck. People don't like having to learn from their mistakes and get better.

Dark Souls only got the amount of attention it did because of memes. "Prepare to Die" and DaS being the hardest game evar just kind of carried into the spotlight. Great metacritic, great reviews, lasting appeal. DeS and BB didn't enjoy such memery because they never had the hardest game ever label slapped onto them.

And before anyone starts, I'm fully aware that anybody should be able to get through Bloodborne or any Souls game with just some patience. But they won't. If there's no bandwagon, they won't bother.
