What went so terribly wrong?

absolutely nothing

It's not perfect, but no game is.

Still the best game released in the last ten years.

BB was released the same year which resulted to unprecedented amounts of shitposting from autistic weebs.

Every single piece of interactivity is mediocre at best.
The main quest is horribly paced.
The antagonists in everything except HOS suck major cock

And its still polished to the level where all of that is acceptable.
Its amazing

Didint bang Philippa

-downgrade
-main story is weak
-repetitive gameplay
-lack of choice/influence/different path
-downgrade
-characters are too shallow
-poor rpg elements

Not made by Japanese approved devs

Are you making these threads every day?

lack of end game activities

its really the only thing I can think of. other than that the game is absolute perfection.

He does.

I dunno ask Your mom

The only "amazing" part of this game is HOS, and even that uses the same garbage gameplay aspects.
Good presentation and good dialogue is blinding you to the truth that this is a glorified visual novel with ubisoft-tier open world design and quest design made for literal retards.

>>377132918
let me add
-tons of filler, "hidden treasure", "sunken treasure", "guarded treasure" in open world
-fixed loot is almost always useless unless it's repair gear which are given to you in too high abundance if you go for loot
-every single side quest that gives you a key and a note with directions to the container
-shit balance for combat
-igni stun locks and DOTs enemies, stun lasts longer than stamina takes to recover
-entire game is two handed sword combat but no depth in said combat, compare to Zelda TP with its sword
-can't romance best girls
-"choices have consequences later on" but you can't predict anything so you can't think ahead
-no shadows in grass, looks muddy

Waiting for a triggered witchercuck to yell "MUH SALES"

>>377135484
No no anon, first thing they go for is GOTY awards.
Then its steam reviews
Then its actual reviews
Then its sales.

As if any of those mattered you know?

It's not perfect but damn it's better than most games released since it was. I still like 2 better myself.
Side note:
>Got a free vidya red box. Grabbed andromeda as it's the only game I hadn't played.

Jesus I don't want to beat a dead horse, but Andromeda truly is a pile of shit. I thought they patched it to make it look better?

fanboys

just so you witcherfags know, liking witcher does not make you patrician

in fact it makes you a basic bitch
