consoles

market research, and an expanding market, technology becoming less restricted to allow for other types of more accessible games so the median skill of players decreased over time

what you faggots don't understand is that this is how big studio capitalism works, it's not some jewish agenda or arbitrary dumbing down, it's that complicated and challenging games alienate potential customers and you get more sales by making uncomplicated and unchallenging games, and over time this becomes normalized so you don't even lose much of your enthusiast crowd

>>377937608
any story spoilers in the video?

>>377937674
no

The open world design is literally ubisoft-tier in its filler and POI spam, and is further destroyed by...
...the loot system, which destroys any incentive for exploration. The weapons you find are worse than witcher gear you obtained 10 levels ago, and you get witcher gear from quests anyway so its not like you have to go hunting for them.
Money holds practically no value whatsoever, and the only loot you find thats useful is alchemy ingredients. Which would be fine if...
...the combat system wasn't so barebones and bland. Throughout your 150+ hour adventure, you use one moveset, 5 bland spells, a crossbow, some bombs and optional potions. The enemy and boss design is so generic and boring though, that using all that hify shit like potions and decoction is pretty much pointless. The biggest strategy is just to mash light attack twice, backhop, and repeat. A large majority of the enemies follow this mentality, and it never truly evolves into anything more meaningful. Why does Djikstra have the same moveset as a wild hunt warrior you fight with Keira?
The game even reskins and recycles enemies in paid DLC, and then dares to call them new ones with new beastiry entries.
1/2

>>377937753
cool

>>377937349
25% is an insane percentage for a huge game like the witcher

wasn't there a statistic making its way through the internet a couple of years ago that only 5% of people actually finish games?

>>377937764
i was looking for that pasta thanks

>>377937661
>you don't lose much of your enthusiast crowd
Except, no one cares about the enthusiast crowd anymore. Normies buy enough games that the "hardcore" fans are pointless.

Thanks video games.

>>377937764
Jesus why are you bothering writing walls of text for?
Its been years since the game release, it sold unbelievably well, won goty, and created an even bigger fan base. So what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Who do you think will read all that shit and say "WHOA HES RIGHT, GOTTA STOP LIKING GAME". Seriously you're on a fools errand

>>377937895
not huge if you play main story line

>go that only 5% of people actually finish games?
*bad games

>>377938254
>WHOA HES RIGHT, GOTTA STOP LIKING GAME
not quite, but if somebody thought to themselves
>oh, those were problems with the game. there are other games which don't have those problems?
and then they play them and their eyes are opened and they have better taste and then contribute with their taste on /v/ and the world is a better place

witchercucks btfo yet again

>>377938204
there are hardcore fans still, they just aren't you and me, we're in another category entirely---this is why I mentioned dumbing down becoming normalized.

there are people who play these games religiously who are basically fine with the lack of challenge and complexity and they just enjoy the limited amount of depth what's there, that's the new hardcore crowd videogames sometimes shoot for

>>377938254
literally no one play it anymore

majority of people rushed to give good reviews before even finishing it

>>377938254
people enjoyed the hype not the game

>>377938656

>taste

HOLY FUCKING KEK, how new are you?
You know what /v/ taste in video games has always been? Games with little anime girls in little dresses saying dumb shit with high pitch children voices

>>377939165
haha cuck! I'm the true alpha male because I like autistic games with little anime girls saying dumb shit with high pitched children voices

don't you know that's what alpha males like!

>>377935849
Wouldn't it make more sense to label your map and for them to show you where you're going?
Just seems retarded that you'd go off directions and vague descriptions alone when you have a map.

I hope this i one guys samefagging.. Seriously how can gothic fags be so deluded and btfo that their game never came close to be what the witcher series is

>>377939430
that's called an interesting gameplay experience, my friend

I know this isn't something that's very common these days, but in my time games actually did things in service to having interesting gameplay experiences instead of realistic ones

both of you post-nu-/v/ fagglets need to die. it's because of living, breathing cancer like you that we can't have nice things.

>>377937764
where's part 2

>>377939867
I hope you're shitposting seriously. We never had nice things, /v/ was always like this, seriously give up faggot, you will not convince anyone no matter how many times you make this thread

>>377935849
they casualized the product so it would sell in the west, especially america. in other words, it was too hard for you to play.

why you non pole, russian or german dudes always need to mod graphics in this. this just looks silly with that blocky models, go and appreciate the old-school

>>377940412

these graphics degrade something that this game had. this sweet contrast between green outdoor areas and these dark corridors and dungeons. on yer shitty ass dx11 everything looks just boring.

what's funny is, that i think that this game has a way bigger following in Poland and eastern Europe, than the rest of the world (including Germany).

(even thought it is still a cult classic in Germany)

>>377936192
cuckthic niggers blown the fuck out to space and back, fuck off and kill you're selves g*rman fucking shits

>>377941752
yeah, it's because game is very well translated into polish, with voices of course. in 00s there wasn't much games which did such thing. imo its the major reason why it is like that.

>>377937349
>missed the obvious falseflag

wew lad

>>377941752
also a small polish team is currently working on a proper prequel to the first game, which is actually approved by Piranha Bytes (devs). Intresting thing is that original polish voice actors volunteered to take a part in project.
( https://dzieje-khorinis.pl/ )

>>377942196

i'm even suprised how well the voice acting was in Germany back in the early 00's, nowadays it's just the voice actor for some celebrity talking disinterested a couple of lines into a microphone and calls it a day.

>>377942490

that's pretty nice, to see that somebody is still interested in this game series, since PB went full retard after Risen 2, and the new Space Gothic doesn't look too good either

>>377942950
basiclly everyone is still intrested in gothic here in poland - on youtube you'll always find some dude streaming it, lots of "machinima" (which is still a thing in here) and just channels dedicated to lore. if it's a cult classic in germany then i wonder how the fuck this looks down there, cus we even had events for 15 years anniversary of series.
