Worth it, or should I wait for the Steam Summer Sale? Just finished

Buy it now if you enjoyed the other two.

It's really good.

Just get it. It might be cheaper in the summer sale, sure, but worst case scenario you lose like 5$

worth it

Just pirate it.

Worth it. You'll be paying $0.16/hr for the game on 1 playthrough.

just get it.
The vanilla game is good (except the main storyline about ciri), but the 2 expansions are fantastic, especially hearts of stone

>>378149170
Worth it. The amount of (quality) content you get for that 25 bucks is absolute insane

Cool, looks like I have my weekend figured out.

Thanks, guys.

>>378150160
About to hit level 10, which means I can rank. I've been playing since Closed Beta, and I love it.

Compared to Hearthstone and stuff, it's definitely easier to get cards/materials and there is less RNG than games like that. It's still in Open Beta, so there's still some things to iron out, but it's my favorite CCG right now.

Seeing how the bundle is even cheaper than that during steam sales, I'd say wait

No, they went for the empty open world meme, it's shit compared to the first two, the worst in the series

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

>>378150542
Noo delete! CDPR are total bros and witcher is so cool and witty when he murmurs about muh ciri and stuff!! It's the best game ever look at this picture of the size of the map!!

>>378150542
Skellige is wasted potential at best, and the game rushes to its conclusion way too fast after Kaer Morhen. Novigrad and Velen use up a massive portion of time, and the entire point of those areas boils down to "your ciri is in another area that requires you to go through like 20 boring side missions before anything substantial happens"

The story sets up its stakes way too high, and thus makes side content break immersion to a major degree. Theres no reason why Geralt would go around killing nekkers for pennies when the literal end of the world was around the corner.

Speaking of which, the white frost, ciris powers and all of culminating at the same time is some of the most cringe inducing shit I've ever seen. Ciri can hop between time and space because "its in her blood lmao" and the white frost is just a prophecy of "dude lmao if it happens we all die lmaooooo"

Then at the end when you defeat Eredin (who is the most bland fucking villain I've ever seen, he has less lines than reskinned shopkeepers in Velen), the white frost just suddenly comes at the same exact time and Ciri defeats it somehow and everythings awesome and then yay the game ends.
Its rushed as fuck and I lost all my interest in caring about the characters during that arc.

HOS is the best content in the game, but it doesn't fix the gameplay gripes. The story is great however and has the only good antagonist in the entire game.

B&W is fine, but again has the same problems with its open world, quest design, enemy design, and even the main quest.

Overall the game doesn't have a single piece of good gameplay, and the only thing that comes close is the boss fight with Dettlaff.
Its worth experiencing because of things completely unrelated to it being a video game. You would get the same exact experience from just watching it on youtube for fucks sake, and even then it would save you money, time and most of all effort since you wouldn't have to wade through boring filler.

I wasn't too into Gwent when I played it in Witcher 3, how different from it is it?
I felt like the games didn't have enough in it to grab my attention. I mostly just shoved lame cards onto the battlefield every turn until the enemy AI bullshitted me with some OP as fuck card that I couldn't ever beat. Yea, I know I could've gathered better cards, but it never seemed good enough to invest time into.
Is the online version any better, or will I feel the same way?

>>378151625
This guy is shilling breathing

Will I enjoy TW3 if I don't particularly enjoy RPG's like Skyrim? How RPG-heavy it is?

>>378151827
Do you like Assassin's Creed and Far Cry?

>>378151692

totally worth it.

>>378151929
Far Cry, absolutely! Assassin's Creed, a little bit.

It's even more casual and consolized than Skyrim

RPG elements are non-existant

Gameplay is non-existant

It's literally an interactive movie

With DLC and mods it's the best one in the series althought Witcher 1 will always have a special place in my heart.

>>378151965
Alright, I'll take your word for it and try it out because I'm curious.

>>378151827
Seeing as to how Skyrim is utter fucking shit I don't know what to recommend.

The Ubishillers are in full force today, no wonder the fc5 trailer was released today.

Is Witcher 3 worth playing if you haven't played the first two?

>>378152476
TW3 isn't worth playing, period.

>>378152476
It's the only one I've played because PS4 and I enjoyed it well enough.

>>378152068
don't kid yourself, TW3 is shit but skyrim is even more shit.
skyrim is literally draugr and draugr ruins all out, TW3 at least pretends to have some variety in both monsters and environments, and has actual choices

It'll be 75% off in june, just wait even though it's really good. If you waited this long, just wait one more month.

>>378152476
Yeah, but you should atleast look up the different factions and maybe a summary for the other two.

>>378152519
You mean your mom's period right

It's a fucking videogame, of course not

>>378152476
You already lose out the vast majority of the plot and lore due to not knowing the books, without knowledge of 1 and 2 it's like starting with MGS4.

>>378149170
Worth it. 8/10 at the least. Open world isn't amazing and the combat is just okay, but everything else is fantastic

>>378153124
I started with MGS4. Then 2. Then 1. Then 3. Then V. Then Peace Walker.

>the only complaint people bring up is "muh open world" (which is subjective) and combat being shitty
the real question is: can i fix it with mods

>>378149170
If you liked the first two I would go for it

>>378154054
This handsome man knows what he's talking about.

>>378149170
Yeah it's worth it, especially for that price. Ask yourself this: "Do I want to play the game immediately after I bought it?" If the answer is yes, then go for it and dive in. If it'll just sit on your pile of shame, you may as well wait for the summer sale or another five years to get it for another few bucks less.

>>378149529
>buying drm free games
If you don't buy games like W3 enjoy the future of games which are all like Overwatch/WoW where you need an internet connection to play the game.

(psst, goy, you can find this on the bay)

>>378153887
Not Op, but thanks buddy

>>378154789
Overwatch is more original than Witcher's Creed. If you want to make a statement you can buy the first game and pirate the cinematic ones.
