According to /v/, a bad game like Skyrim should have lost its appeal a long time ago. How come that isn't actually the case, and can someone explain this phenomenon? But more importantly, how come Witcher 3 doesn't have as good mod tools as Skyrim?
Witcher 3 fans even said the new DLC would save it, and certainly the Steam summer sale didn't help it

witcher is on gog too.
I have Witcher 3 on gog, not steam.
>>344920762
Mods add a ton of value desu.
>But more importantly, how come Witcher 3 doesn't have as good mod tools as Skyrim?
Hopefully the devs of Witcher 3 will release modding tools for Cyberpunk 2077
Witcher is also on GOG.
Easy.
Skyrim is an actual RPG (though not a particularly good one) with a lot more replay value and tons of mod support.
Witcher 3 is an adventure game also with piss-poor combat but comparatively little replay value, mod support or role-playing value.
>B-b-but you're role-laying as Geralt, as a Witcher! You make dialogue choices and that NPC won't be there later depending on what you choose!
And I'm "role-playing" as Mario in Super Mario Bros., doesn't make it an RPG. Dialogue choices don't make a game an RPG. Dialogue and dialogue choices are a staple of the adventure genre. The fact that Witcher 3 is held up as the shining example of modern RPGs tells me people today don't know what the fuck an actually RPG is.

its a long game, but once you've finished it there is no reason to keep playing
>>344922805
It may be a serviceable action/adventure, It's just not a good RPG.
You have zero input on the character, he's always Geralt, he always has the same voice and backstory. Sure, you can "role-play" as Geralt making his decisions, but you can say the same about any game with a protagonist you can't change. I'm playing the role of Link or Kratos in their games but that doesn't make them RPGs.
Exploration is about as exciting as it was in Skyrim or Dragon Age. You can't do shit beyond looking at pretty sunsets and picking up random loot, there's little/no interactivity with the world and not much incentive to explore beyond seeing something pretty or finding more loot you could have just bought at a shop.
Your combat role choices are extremely limited, you have a good four sword swings and a tiny handful of spells and skills and that's it. You fight the same handful of enemies with the same handful of combat skills for the majority of the game. Two playthroughs are not going to be drastically different from one another in this regard, even Skyrim offers more diversity in combat roles.
There's just little role-playing to do in the game at all outside making dialogue choices and the gameplay in general is pretty lacking and repetitive. The game is beautiful and well-animated, presentation is top-notch, but it's quite clear that was where the devs focused their attention so we get some pretty bland, boring gameplay as a result.
>>344920762
What the fuck is wrong with people.
First when I read all the praise for it on here I thought it was exaggerated but was I wrong.
I can easily say that this is the best medieval themed game I ever played even if its fantasy.
The fights, politics, folk lore based monsters etc its all fucking great.
>>344923454
Good visuals and presentation, bad gameplay. Good presentation is all you need to appeal to the mass-market.
If you like pretty games that are more about "experiencing" thing happening in front of you than actually playing, I can see why you'd like the game a lot.
>>344922563
Same could be said about Witcher 3, so that doesn't really matter now does it?
>>344920762
skyrim has a huge modding community, witcher doesn't. i don't see why anyone gives a shit if a single player game is still active.
>>344920762
>bait
k
keep being booty-blasted, friendo.
The more asspain I see about this game the more I enjoy it when I play it ;)
>>344923675
Yes, that's my point.
>B-b-but GOG!
Is a bullshit excuse for why Witcher has less than half the current player Skyrim has.
People are playing Skyrim because it has more replay value, and it has more replay value because it allows you more freedom to role-play as different characters and has tons and tons of mod support that also helps keep subsequent plays fresh enough. That's all there is to it, Skyrim is just more of a "game" than Witcher is so more people will keep playing it.

>>344921765
>>344924775
Not saying you are wrong about the Skyrim part, but most Witcher PC copies were sold on GOG, so yeah, he does have a point.
If you take that into consideration more people are probably playing TW3.
>>344924775
>People are playing Skyrim because it has more replay value
The "replay value" comes from mods. Fuck, you can nowadays get more content out of modding than Skyrim originally had in the first place.
But obviously you're just pretending. :^)
why does everyone on /v/ say witcher 3's combat sucked? I can't think of a game with better melee combat.
2 different dodges + 2 different attacks + magic + skills.
>>344920762
Thanks for reminding me that I still need to replay them you autistic fuck.

NIIIIIIICE
because i finished up my first playthrough of Witcher 3 and am currently playing some neps and some tittyninjas
meanwhile i own witcher 3, but don't own skyrim. bethesda are lazy, shitty, greedy, awful devs who don't deserve any financial support.
>half-assed broken, buggy games and rely entirely on modders to fix their shitty work
>were a big name in mainstreaming paid DLC (Horse Armor for Oblivion)
>are trying to mainstream paid MODS now
Bethesda/Zenimax is literally cancer.
Does this game gets better? I beat some wild hunt fags in a cave that were looking for an elf, so far all the missions are the same shit
