>last but not least also causes the biggest collective anal anguish ever applied to the spergs on /v/, collectively ensuing the rage and butthurt of mgs spergs, fallout spergs, and the biggest spergs of all, souls spergs (also shittiest games)

I don't get it /v/, are Poles the masterrace?

Go away Todd.

They don't know how to make fun and addictive combat that's for sure.

I guarantee Bethesda is going to take a much longer time will the elder scrolls to try and one up TW3. CDPR is forcing Bethesda to actually try and make a good game so they can stay on the throne of open world RPG makers. Or at least I really hope so.

But then why are more people are currently playing Skyrim than Witcher 3?
>>
>>341863754
Because far more people can run Skyrim than Witcher 3.

>>341863367
>are Poles the masterrace?

yes

>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt received critical acclaim even before its release. The game garnered over 200 awards for its previews at E3, Gamescom, and other video game industry events. The total number of awards accumulated by the game surpassed 800, including over 250 Game of the Year awards.

REMINDER that more awards than blunderborne, fallout 4 and mgsv put together, how could those games be SO SHIT an so #BTFO by the polish herrenvolk?

will germans EVER recover?

I don't think Bethesda or CDPR can ever outdo each other because they're playing for totally different keeps, so to speak.

>Bethesda
Open world games where focus is on on dicking around and doing things however you please.

>CDPR
Fixed character and focus on telling the story, world is a backdrop for story to play out at.

People like to put Fallout 4 and Skyrim in a competition but design-wise their focuses are polar opposite, for example.

They're not trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator
>>
>>341865038
Because Souls games are not a mainstream franchise. Yes, they have excellent word of mouth and popularity online, but they're not something your average player would buy. Which doesn't really mean anything as far as quality goes but it's convenient for why it didn't sell 10+ million copies or something.

The only thing keeping this cinematic trash relevant are Witcher haters. If you don't post in these threads then the threads will die out because even Witchercucks are bored of the game.

never tried the rest because after that poor display no way they could EVER improve

RPGfags are truly the worst. Why do you even complain about combat? The entire RPG genre is antagonism of good combat/gameplay.

And on top of that "RPG elements" that every RPG fan jerk offs to, just ruin games in other genres. RPG is cancer that kills other games. You can fuck off with those looting and leveling systems. RPG is just shit genre that for some reason attracts good writers. Why none is picking the good stuff from RPG like for example dialog systems?

you have no clue about rpg at all
the "rpg" elements of today is dev trying to pad out gameplay so they can sell repetitive content for 60$ and more by dangling a carrot in front of your eyes.
the dialog in good rpg tie closely with your stats, your reputation, your character's feats, skills and knowledge... and thus create varied situation you must cope with and replayability. Not to mention along side it combat, stealth, magic...

RPG attracts good writer because it allow VARIETY so an edgelord can write his path while a catholic priest write another. It's the designers' job to keep them in check and make them balance.
But your definition of "good gameplay" might be flashy fake adrenaline trip bullshit like most people on here so how would i know

Witcher was mass marketed, on all platforms and appealed to the lowest scum of the earth with barely interactive storytelling, shallow combat, tits and ass.

Yes exactly, so why do fromdrones infest witcher threads? Witcherbros don't bother shitting up others' threads, what drives these fromfags?
>>
The combat is weak in comparison to Bloodborne, but is better than almost every gamepad-compatible RPG that wasn't made by From. Don't 90% of you retards still get nostalgic over Final Fantasies 6-10? Would you prefer Witcher 3 had ATB?

Massive AAA open world RPGs will always be deficient in some respect. It simply isn't economical to make a game that does combat as well as a souls game, RPG elements as well as an Obsidian game, with writing and characterisation worthy of even a mediocre film or TV drama. Making an RPG is like making a fallout character, you can't put all your stats up to ten you only have limited resources. You pick and choose and hope that the final result will be something greater than the sum of its parts. The success of the Witcher shows they did pretty well there.

oh so is this why the combat is never fun?

If you gave me 3 games to make the same combat with the same character I would give you the funniest combat youve ever seen

somehow witcher 2 regressed when it became easymode 2 (but requiring a meter to block was among the worst design decisions i have ever seen) and then regressed further into 3

though it was terribly awfully balanced, that fight against the 3 different knights early in the witcher 2, before they made the game easymode, was one of the most challenging and rewarding fights i ever played

no witcher game is open world. 3 isn't even remotely "open world", it's "big map". There is nothing in the world and no reason to traverse it back and forth. There is nothing dynamic or interesting to find.

I said "open world", not pseudo/sort of/not really.

That said, DDs combat was borderline experimental, floaty, and overall much worse than Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry, the two games it tried to fuse. Even with the improved performance that came with the PC port, the game itself is nothing more than great framework for what is hopefully a masterpiece sequel

The combat in witcher 3 isn't fun, comparisons to other games don't make it more or less fun anon. Its value has nothing to do with the value of anything in other games.

You're delusional if you think Bethesda is ever going to work harder to make better games for consumers. Their primary consumers are now the normie and call of duty audience, so they can't literally shit out fallout 4 reskinned as tes6 and people would choke on Todd's dick to get it.
The witcher 3 has a different audience. My step dad loves the fallout series but said that the witcher had too much talking and no enough action. I heard the same from my 17 year old step brother, CDPR's audience is people who actually enjoy quality(good writing, good characters, smaller more beautiful environments, interesting yet flawed) over quantity(huge empty world, "never-ending" quests, boring hit them with that stick or shoot them over and over again combat).

Now you can meme me and greentext respond by saying ">Elder Scrolls, >good sandbox" or ">Soulsborne, >good combat" but the fact of the matter is that the vast majority agree that those games excel in those departments and are pretty much, unmatched in the RPG genre.

What exactly did Witcher 3 excel in or even try to excel in outside of trying to be a cutscene walking simulator?

Relying on the sword for damage doesn't mean you don't use signs, as I said they're useful for crowd control.
You can have 36 stamina regen without wasting points in the sign tree, and that's enough (stamina is also useful for Whirl and Rend). If not use Tawny Owl.

Uninstalled. I've been playing video games since 1986 and sometimes bad design just hits you in the face like youre being slapped by the tail of an angry trout. Witcher 3 is one of the strongest cases of this I've ever seen.

It's like they just don't get a lot of *basic* things and they need someone to stand over their shoulder and say "no, this takes fun away from the player, you need to do it this way for it to be fun"

Yeah, if you enjoy being a retard who is proud of living in filth. Last 400 years of their country is a story of complete cucking, murder and raping the language and culture.

You don't know shit if you think signs don't do enough damage. They're in fact OP if you want them to be. But I wouldn't get into that because too OP isn't fun either.

Using signs often and mixing it with swords is what makes the combat fun. I don't understand why you're debating that.

Also the real stamina regen comes from Griffin armor. It seems to be a multiplicative bonus or something because it's way more effective than anything else.

Explain. Because having monsters nest #100, smugglers cache #243, "dead man with a note that leads to a treasure 5 metres away every single time" #1204201 is anything but realistic and the literal definition of artificial placement.

>Then it excels at finally making a story driven game where the open world is an asset not a hindrance

This doesn't even make sense. What is this supposed to mean? Gothic 1, 2 and Morrowind had the same thing if i'm understanding you correctly?

>Also excels at having all these morally gray choices which you don't know how will they effect you later in the journey

Has been done before, go play any older RPG and Witcher 3 is barely "morally gray" as it is.

Why would anyone choose Djikstra over Broche? Why would anyone let Whoreson Jr live? Why would anyone try to kill a monster over trying to lift the curse and then killing it if all else fails?

Mass Effect had more morally gray choices. Seriously.

>Also excells at swordsmanship combat. It's obvious they spent time with profesionals trying to stitch together a combat system for a fast superhuman

No it doesn't. Dragons Dogma, Bloodborne and Dark Souls have objectively more deep combat systems, I don't care about subjective preferences, i'm keeping to the facts.

Your first two points are purely subjective (not even quite sure what you second point is alluding to) and the last two points are outright false.

I know that this thread is a giant, retarded bait but I just wanted to ask

If The Witcher 3/Uncharted 4/Bloodborne is so much better than Bloodborne/Uncharted 4/The Witcher 3 why do Po- witcher fans/sonyggers have to use arguments like goty awards or sales to completely btfo sonyggers?

I mean some people on /v/ actually have their own opinions and don't need to say shit like "SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE LIKED THIS GAME? YEAH IT'S BETTER THAN YOURS"

Skyrim is trash, its awards don't matter. If it didn't get as many awards it would still be trash.
Bioshock Infinity is bad, its awards don't matter. If it didn't get as many awards it would still be trash.
Uncharted 4 is mediocre, its awards don't matter. If it didn't get as many awards it would still be mediocre.
The Witcher 3 is good, its awards don't matter. If it didn't get as many awards it would still be good.

There's tons of buildings, castles, villages, roads, all carefully thought out. Even building interiors are realistic as fuck, and clearly hand-crafted. The cities are huge and have functioning infrastructures. I guess you didn't notice any of this however because you'd prefer a 10x10m sandbox with epic dragon spawns on each footstep.

So, great world design. Next, there's the 10/10 level of story telling, even if the main plot of the base game might end up a bit weak. Then, there's the good dialogue writing. Pretty much all RPG elements you'd expect are in place and greatly done.

Same with pretty much any open world game, Assassins Creed included (ESPECIALLY Assassins Creed games who have entire focuses on the building placements as that is the games literal level design/playground).

I'm just not seeing your argument.

>Pretty much all RPG elements you'd expect are in place and greatly done.

There just above average imo. The RPG elements are mediocre, no denying that. It's barely an RPG as it is and is completley watered down but the story telling/writing is definitely a plus but still pales in comparison to games like Planescape Torment.

I'm just not seeing how it excels in those areas to the point where it's arguably the best in its respective genre.

Games like Gothic/Morrowind/Daggerfalls will always be considered as the peak of Sandbox RPGs (Daggerfall especially). Games like SoulsBorne/DragonsDogma will always be considered at the peak of ARPGs. Games like Witcher 3 will always be considered at the ??? of RPGs?

I'd say you have brain damage if you play Skyrim for over 100 hours. The others, sure, but I don't think I ever played them more than TW3, and I have a stricter taste now too.

Sometimes I wish they were just slightly less good at making games so they could release them faster. I don't want to wait until 2018 for Cyberpunk 2077. I enjoy very few games now and CDPR games are always ones that I do enjoy.

Nice argument.

>The others, sure, but I don't think I ever played them more than TW3, and I have a stricter taste now too.

I don't care about preference, they simply objectively have more replayability due to the factions and build setups.

>And whatever the fuck do you mean by that?

See above, build setups.

You're always playing as some form of swordsman because that's what Geralt is restricted to by the lore. In Morrowind for example you can be a flying naked mage who spawns monsters to do your bidding to a thief/valiant knight and everything in between.

That's what I mean.

>3 has great overall gameplay and "variety" for an RPG

Such as?

That's literally it. That's the barebones minimum of every single RPG ever made.

W3 has just enough variety with bombs and signs and shit, you can even go full signs never touching your swords. Besides, Bethesda games have shit combat so why is build setup important?

Best selling games are multiplats (GTAV) and Splatoon example was exclusive too. Argument discarded.

You said they're "factually better rated", which is just blatantly false.

I wonder if BB would retain that score if more than 10 people rated it.

You are restating my arguments. It it very clear you have a poor grasp of the English language, but try to keep up.
Okay, so souls games sell worse than splatoon, which is an exclusive. Exclusives have a handicap to sales. If a multiplat sells worse than an exclusive, it's not a GOOD THING. Meanwhile, you are saying TLoU sold better than Witcher 3, a multiplat, but you don't have any proof whatsoever. You need some kind of evidence for something like that, as Witcher 3 was an astoundingly successful multiplat and inherently has an advantage.

Come on son. TLOU even has a year and an extra release on TW3 and they are still neck and neck. Maybe you should try to bring up a different game like Skyrim's, that definitely outsold TW3 to all the garbage eaters out there.

Over 10 milion for 2 platforms are better sales than 10 million for 3 platforms still. TLOU has average 5 milion sales per platform, Witcher 3 less than 3,5 million.

Awful interchangeable faces. Some of the most lazily drawn tits i've ever seen. I have absolutely no idea how anyone manages to pop a chub to Senran- the art is just so fucking amateur, cheap, generic, awful shit. I've been fappin' to Jap shit for 16 years and I've NEVER understood the appeal of this particular series. It looks so soulless, so dead- all of the art looks like it was made in a lab.

3 years is also longer than 1 year.

You forgot to mention the extra two years it was released before Witcher. W3 got its 10 mil in the first year it released. Meanwhile TLoU only averaged 2.5 mil a year even with the rerelease.

>cdprdrones after Skyrim Remastered outsells Witcher 3

I love how retarded Americans think that every Polack is like Geralt and every chick looks like Yen/Triss/Ciri

I mean yeah, we're better than Germacucks, but not great

>d-doesn't count
It's been literally just over a year since the witcher 3 released. It got neck and neck with the best selling exclusive probably of all time in that year. An exclusive with a two year and extra release lead.
>>
>>341881460
No, Witcher 3 never got 10 mln sales on single platform. TLOU had better sales than Witcher after one year than Witcher on any platform especially on PC where sales were most shitty.
>>
>I-It's better than all these shit games so that means its a good game!

A king in the kingdom of shit is still a shit king.

>>341881496

It would outsell your favorite game too.

Who cares if it does? Witcher 3 is a success.

And From is a failure.
>>
>>341881620
All games are selling the most in first year. Of course it don't count since we talk about existing sales not imaginary. Why are stuttering?
>>
>>341881695
>on any platform
>putting in this worthless value to try to get an edge
Oh yeah it sold loads on the PS3. But that doesn't mean anything. It still didn't outsell TW3.
>>
actual Polack here, never played TW3 but damn you fuckers are miserable in your hate
nice job falling for all the trolling though
>>
>>341863367
OK, that game is better than MGSV indeed, but it is not better than MGS3 or MGS1.

Only Witcher cucks could come up with something this retarded.

Everyone compares Poles from the cities, meanwhile a majority of everyone else is shit ugly, its like thinking the fit tanned people you see in beach cities are representative of the majority of the population in america.

Alright, let's put forth a hypothetical. Do you think W3 will have sold less in the next two years than TLoU? Because unless you can say definitely "Yes" you are putting forth a completely unfair comparison. W3 sold 10 mil in a year. TLOU sold 5.9 mil its first year then rereleased to sell 4 mil its second year. Meanwhile W3 did that all in a year.

Most people are only now for the first time ever coming to like Poles. Don't waste it.

Stay based, keep beating Muslims in the street wherever ye may find them.

>>341881960
Another actual Pollack here. Witcher 3 is great game even with shitty combat and glitches but Witcher shills are most pathethic thing here using scores and sales as argument.

Mam nadzieję, że wsród tych debili nie ma wielu Polaków.

>>341882071
>it counts somehow
We are talking existing sales not imaginary sales, it still only sold 10 mil across two platforms. You don't get to act like TLOU deserves a handicap because of exclusivity while W3 doesn't deserve one dispite only being out for 1/3 the time.
>>
>>341882198
I don't care about future, imaginary sales or your speculations. Witcher 3 sold less on every platform than TLOU. PC sales were multiple times worse than TLOU sales.
