How do people justify Witcher 3's awful gameplay?

Usually along the lines of:

>B-But it's pretty
>B-But it has 200 hours of gameplay

Yes, boring dull gameplay.

The leshens were my favorite monster.

Usually they just pretend it isn't Bamham combat then pretend that "But it's good."

It has the best gameplay out of every single open world wrpg

>>324729734
They don't. It's appalling, like in previous two games. You just look for exploits until it becomes bearable.

>TW3 has bad combat meme
L I T E R A L L Y doesn't exist outside of /v/
It has perfectly okay combat. It's nothing special but it's certainly not bad, and the arguments of people who claim it is inevitably boil down to
>wahh it's not dark souls

If you're honestly trying to claim any aspect of its gameplay outside of combat is bad then you don't have a leg to stand on

Western devs have never been able to make their game mechanics precise or consistent. The hitboxes, invincibility frames, input delay, range, attribute values, shit's all over the place. That's why western devs never made any good character action games either.

It is literally infinately better than Bloodborne/Dark Souls.

Its not just roll and dodge, you use spells to target your enemies ie: using a magictrap to target wraithes, using different swords for different enemies, and having health be something to be conscious of, with food not restoring it instantly (like blood vials.)

I know /v/ will hate it because its not LE BULLET HELL 4TH WALL BREAKING, but it got GOTY for a reason.

I actually think the combat isn't the worst part.

The quest design is.

Who the fuck wants to do "go here talk to this person, then go there and talk to that person" quests? And they do this shit RIGHT BEFORE the final confrontation with the final boss. No, we DON'T want to go with Ciri to say THANK YOU to some asshole that helped her, it's not fun. The amount of padding in this game reaches obscene. It 100-130 hours of gameplay, with 1/3 of that walking and talking to people.

It has been said 1000 times, the only reason players don't put down the controller and give up, is because the story, world and exploration kept them hooked.

Can someone who likes the witcher 1 tell me why you like it?

Dragons Dogma is pure shit though, it's completely unrefined and hack/slashy.

TW3's combat blows that garbage out of the water and doesn't even need the retarded "climb on the cyclops 100 tims" gimmick.

Half the turds playing TW3 did it with a controller, probably not even knowing how to block, or counter attacks.

It is the most faithful to the atmosphere and characters of the books. Combat, while brain dead simple had a nice ARPG wibe to it, speaking of which, game itself is pretty much more store focused ARPG, which in retrospect was a really good choice. W2 and 3 felt too consolized after it in almost every aspect, except maybe graphics.

>>324731964
What about asking around? What about finding the clues yourself instead of HOLD BUTTON LOOK FOR RED? Why not just let the sense button autopilot me to the next area if all I have to do is follow a path?

With fuckton of hours in DS1/DS2/BB im glad W3 didnt have combat like souls game.

W3 won msot awards by both reviewers and players. It doesnt mean that any game with awards = good. It depends on your fucking personal taste. You couldnt force for example "red alert is good rts" on guy who simply doesnt enjoy rts games.

And again and again its still same buttblasted people spamming same webm with "LOL W3 SUCKS HOW COULD YOU EVER LIKE IT". Nobody is forcing on you that game and if you like dragon dogma or souls game more - go and play it for fuck sake

I still remember that people furious at witcher 1 because "LOL RPG AND I CANT WEAR HEAVY ARMOR AND DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEAPONS" and "WHY I CANT BE BLACK WOMAN, WHY THEY FORCE ME INTO SOME WHITE-HAIRED GUY". Now meh, we have "LOLCOMBAT" childs there

Ask yourself why everyone hates CDPR drones. Meanwhile CDPR drones still think they're the kings of /v/ because they shill their shitty AAA wannabe daily.

>>324731834
There's plenty of people enjoying Dragon's Dogma right now. And the combat is way more complex than TW3 without even considering climbing.

>>324731834
People who think the combat in Dragons Dogma can be summed up with "climb on the cyclops 100 tims" should not speak on it by the way.

I bet 99% of you faggots who are whining about the game on the first week of release didn't do 2 things.

1 - play slowly, and actually experience the feeling of adventure that Dragons Dogma does so well. Its not all about the gameplay, its about adventuring into far off lands with your party and defeating hideous beasts while the oil in your lamp starts to run dry. Thats Dragons Dogma.

2 - BBI. You faggots probably dont even know what BBI even is, or what is in it.

>>324730608
just because you can (and need to) dodge and attack stuff, and that there are enemies that can kill you quickly doesn't make it a good combat system. I can't believe how it's not obvious to you how retarded that argument is.

By that logic, every FPS shooting combat system is good because you can fire bullets and can evade them by moving out of your opponents line of fire.

the witcher 3's combat system is horse shit: the hit detection is imprecise, the actual attacks you execute for the most part do not matter a single bit, the placement from where you attack for the most part doesn't matter a single bit, the precise timing of when you attack doesn't matter a single bit since there's no concept of counter or interrupt damage bonuses in it. and since the entire itemization of the game is boring as fuck, the entire metagame around the combat system does not support its mechanics at all, making it even more mediocre than it already is.

>>324729734
The combat isn't the best but its passable
Fact is games, especially rpgs, a game is more than the combat system
There's character customization, stat building, immersion

So the answer is yes. Why then? Is it because Fallout 4 didn't win?

Or even better, why would CDPR shills give a shit about a year where their game didn't come out? What weight does 2014 carry aside from shitposting reasons? Given how multiple fanbases actively despise /dag/ and EA in general, and the lengthy history of everyone laughing at /dag/fags for the abysmal shitposting campaign that ended in Witcher 2 having more sales and winning GOTY over Dragon Age 2 (which was a fued the Dragon Age fanbase started).

>>324732835
Your argument is really fucking retarded and you should feel retarded.

First witcher is hands down the best witcher experience in the entire series.
-no shitty open world, instead we got hubs with good detalization that still had relatively large open areas
-way better RPG system than in both sequels, in fact W3 has hands down the worst character progression system in the entire series
-it's hard to acquire new, stronger swords and armor making them feel extremely precious unlike W3 with its ton of useless loot
-best alchemy system in series where you can actually experiment with ingredients and end up with more powerful potions that have secondary effects
-actually requires prep time, you can't just waltz in, drop a sign and kill a really hard monster
-3 distinct combat styles instead of 2 attack buttons, even though the combat itself looked more like a rhythm game, it was still better than ARPG abortion we got in W2/3
-good story and set of characters with actual intrigue instead of 100 hours of "muh Ciri", you can also actually follow the path of neutrality

Second and third game destroyed all unique little things the first game introduced back in 2007 and tried to be as much of a generic, shitty, watered down ARPG as it was humanly possible and succeeded at that nicely.

I even tried that circulating evasion tactic but shit didn't worked. And don't even try to say that I was playing badly. After 3 days I got most of the monsters attack animation but it takes only 2 drowners to kick my ass. fuck this game. shit was fun as fuck

I quite enjoy it. It's challenging and actually requires some skill to fight well, unlike AC or lots of other open world games nowadays. It's well balanced and difficult, which is how it should be.

Why be in a thread that is solely about a game you don't like? What's the purpose in just shitposting all day with other shitposters in a thread designed for shitposters? And yes, it is shitposting because time and time again anons get exposed because they get sloppy by posting the exact same photos and the exact same script, and sooner or later someone checks how often they post this shit in the archive. And then the witcher shitposting dies down for a few months just to spring back up with the exact same shit.

frankly, idk how they can overlook simple balance issues

>What's the purpose in just shitposting all day

I've not been shitposting here all day. So again, why not just leave this thread if it's causing you so much emotional distress?

Am I fucked up if I really enjoyed the Witcher 3's gameplay? The combat was fast-paced and responsive and felt quite visceral. Having to learn how to dodge proper and time my attacks was hard at first but felt really satisfying later on when I got the hang of it.

ITT: Console kiddies who played the first niche RPG the first time in their life and got rekt by the first Boss, then come here to complain about the game being bad.

You seem angry, OP. Shouldn't you be having fun playing video games?

>>324729734

Disclaimer: I fucking love Witcher 3 but actual gameplay really is it's weakest aspect. I have finished the game on death marsh on my first run .
>>324733439
You've got to be joking. The difficulty literally caps out at quen cheese since dodging when you're not attacking is just so insanely easy. You're probably still in the honeymoon phase just before you slowly realize how shallow the gameplay really is. Took me about 20 hours too when I noticed that all fights felt the same and and that there was barely a point to careful preparation since everything could be murdered using the same tactic
>>324732287
But the Customization and stat building is extremely limited and barely affect the way you play. The choices you make just aren't meaningful enough.

after being shilled HoS so much, i decided to buy it, though i didnt like w3, w2 before that and w1.

>they improved on everything they ever did
ok, let's try this out, maybe it's really that better

go to point a, check the bullet board, cutscene, go to point b, cutscene, punch a shitty guy while geralt gets stuck in the pillars (win or loose, u get the same outcome, with the same exact dialogue), cutscene, go to oxenfurt, cutscene, use banham vision, fight drowner number 947834, cutscene, finally boss.

prince toad is one of the worst designed bosses i've ever seen. jump stomp and tongue with no windup, literally 3 enemy movesets (including the acid spit), encouraging spamming a clueless dodge and quen. on death march sword does shit.
i start trying out the signs, and igni fucking works, but why? just a moment ago they said the creature wasnt scared by fire, furthermore it's a toad, covered in mucus and fluids protecting him from the heat.

witcher 3 has abysmal performance on most machines. .
that's probably where all this whining comes from - if you actually play on death march and have the hardware to run it at 50+ fps, the combat is very engaging and cool.
but if you have to endure it at sub 20 fps and mash buttons on low difficulty, it sucks ass.

This immersion/atmosphere meme needs to die, aside from the wobbly trees it does nothing that other RPGs (Shitty Bethesda ones included) haven't done. It's just a vague piece of praise that has no substance behind it and serves purely as a cop out way of praising your game.
>just what a RPG needs to be. The combat isn't exactly my flavour either but that doesn't mean it's bad
It's below average. Elder Scrolls games have god awful combat as well but at least they make up for it in variety, Souls games with their numerous builds/weapons/movesets and Dragon Dogma with its epic battles all blow it the fuck out.
>Overall it very much reminded me of Gothic I+II, which are the very best RPGs of all time if you ask me, but well if that's not your boat that's your problem
It's nothing like Gothic, this meme HAS to die. Gothic is a game that offered PURE freedom in everything you did, Witcher 3 is far more linear in its approach and restrictive.

The only simularity is literally the generic setting and eastern european developers. Gothic is NOTHING like Witcher 3.

>LE WITCHER 3 IS LIKE GOTHIC

FUCK this meme, there is no fucking simularities at all. Gothic allows you to kill every fucker you meet, Witcher 3 doesn't even let you attack NPCs. Fucking CDshills, the freedom Gothic provides is nowhere to be seen in Witcher 3, nowhere. Skyrim is closer to Gothci than Witcher 3 and Skyrim isn't even close.

Which requires PS2 hardware to run. Witcher 3 is downgraded turd that still requires high-end GPU because Polacks can't code worth shit. The game runs awful on almost all platforms except high-end GPUs. Despite being a console port.

>MUH WINDY TREES

The simple fact that the game FORCES the camera on 1 ennemy just shows how bad the gameplay is.
I enjoyed tw1 and tw2 for the story and choices but here except maybe the red baron story, the main plot sux. The antagonist is the biggest shit i've ever seen. And they say cdpr got good writters ?

Play for the cinematic cutscenes ignore the combat it is a secondary aspect of the "game"

At least they moved away from QTEs.

>>324737192
The story of TW3 is pure shit, just as bad as the gutter trash gameplay. It's as if a 12 year old wrote it. The dialogue itself and the characters are okay though.

Dialogue, characters, graphics, and a select few quests. These are the only things TW3 has going for it. And they certainly don't make up for the terrible gameplay, itemization, character progression, balance, exploration, world design etc. It's such a poor game overall. It's the same quality and the same situation as Skyrim where I'm left dumbfounded that people actually consider it amazing.

>>324738269

>they are so much alike,

Then fucking elaborate because as I see it, Witcher 3 is the most casualized piece of RPG trash i've seen since Inquisition

For a WRPG it's actually really good.

They shit on BB and souls

I can not believe this, pc gamers will pretend anything is good but come on now, dragons dogma? Are you all really going to pretend that game is any better than a 5/10? It's fucking empty, and ugly and easy and repetitive, there is no plot, it's made by crapcom and its 5 years old. For the love of God pc fags if you're going to fake being content with your shitty game library than at least use 'poster' game that makes it seem slightly plausible

Shit on souls games, gameplay doesn't really matter that much, name a game with better combat, it's a masterpiece you just have a shit taste

there is nothing to elaborate, all you see is gameplay mechanics and dialogue choices, you won't understand it, games like Dark Souls are way better suited for people like you, they are gameplay mechanics and nothing else

i've played tw3 and the camera auto lock your ennemy every time. That's why fist fight against 2 ennemy is so hard. You can't fight multiple it's always 1 by 1. The only choice you have is to stay lock on 1 mob.

>>324738661
Witcher 3 was an average RPG, yes it does shit on all the Souls game but that wasn't saying much.
It just happened to be the least awful game came out in 2015 and a much needed good RPG people have been waiting for so long.

>Nope. Witcher 3 isn't as good as 2 but it blows Mass Effect out of the water

Nice argument, the pictures I provided gave examples and counter points illistrating why the Witcher 3 had shit tier story even worse than Mass Effect. Come back when you can counter the pictures.

>Velen is completely different than Skellige, the swamp land is completely different than the forest, Novigrad is the best medieval city design by a long shot

It's a generic world, literally nothing about it is unique.

>Literally false, quest could be about throwing baby into oven to lure a monster, stalking drunk vampire in the city, saving guy from some literally semon demon, finding serial murderer etc.

Haha. The quests were limited by the games limiting gameplay, compare it to quests in Oblivion having you steal ancient artifiacts with stealth, assassinate people, be a mercenary or wizard etc or Dragon Dogma that had you climbing atop Cyclopses, proving a man innocent or climbing up the tail of a Dragon midflight.

Witcher 3s quests are limited by its piss poor variety in its gameplay.

I doubt it's fans. Fans can acknowledge flaws in their games. For instance how Dark Souls 2 is regarded as trash by Soulsfags. Meanwhile, if you point out a single flaw in any Witcher game, you'll find yourself surrounded by alcoholic Polacks defending the game they slaved for four years straight.
