Explain
The game has a great gameplay, an insane soundtrack, a great story, a good script, pretty good open world graphics, and on top of its expansion are as long as a real game.

I just finished the Crones/Bloody Barron quest lines. my main quest now is to visit Triss. how much more do I have in the base game?

>>378170592

You are wrong.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is the best game ever made. No this is not baiting, shilling, marketing or whatever you wanna call it. You need to understand that humans evolve through time. Art evolve, music evolve, movies evolve, humans evolve and so games do. No, your Ocarina Of Time is not better than Horizon: Zero Dawn. No, your Deus Ex is not better than Persona 5. Still no, your The Vampire Masquerade: Bloodlines is not better than Skyrim. Things change, they evolve. A game released 15-20 years ago it's not better than a modern game. You think that but it's just nostalgia and emotions. I too used to believe that The Legend Of Dragoon was the best game ever but at some point I had to face this thing: modern games are better. I love The Legend Of Dragoon and will always have a special place in my heart but cannot compete with the likes of, lets say, The Last Of Us. I understand that and I accept that and so should you. The "old games" are better is just a meme being reinforced by nostalgia and by the fact that you just can't let it go. I know that, deep inside you, you know all this already. But you have your position to maintain. That feeling of being different than the others. Dislike these games or not, you have to accept that TLOU, TW3, P5, HZD and BOTW are the pinnacle of gaming history. It is time, anon. Time to let the past go. Just keep all those memories and feelings in your heart and move forward or you will never be able to enjoy new games. Remember that old is obsolete. New is the future. We can only go forward.

You'd be role playing as Geralt.. Of course it's a rpg. Someone people even self-insert into Geralt to waifu the girls.

>>378170482
Lol?

The best RPG is Ghost Recon Wildlands (Far Cry 4 is good too). Ubisoft owns your shitty ass Polish devs. I love to pre-order my games and get all the possible DLCs on day 1.

Fuck your good story... fuck your good graphics... fuck your nice side quests... fuck your huge map... fuck your game.

Ubisoft is the best.

Add me on PSN.

No but it's probably the best modern one.

So does that make Halo and Call of Duty RPGs as well?

Have you even played the game? Why do 90% of people play it 2-3+ times if it's like a book? You say dark souls is an RPG but Witcher 3 is not? Dark souls literally has 1-2 choices that actually change the story significantly.

Witcher 3 is a piece of trash that only console casuals would find interesting


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

This is wrong, most people, even the most diehard fans will tell you they played it through once.

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.

It's kind of a cliché now to admire Witcher 3 and some will dislike it or bash it because it's been hugely popular and it's more edgy being a contrarian nitpicking asshole.

However the truth is, there are no open world - linear story with that many attention to detail, that many content with greatly written sidequests still with fun gameplay, exploration, choices, actual combat design and strategies.. Great looking women, epic tragedies, love, death, sadness, twists and turns.

Witcher 3 is a miracle, let's face it. It's always one out of a million. Just like movies, books and musical artists produce so much and then there's the masterpiece from one generation that critics and enthusiasts recognize as such.

Witcher part 3 is magic. It's talent. It's aesthetics, a sense of timing and beauty and elegance, and love and respect.

all non-quest related things you can find on the world are copy paste boring shit
no one will talk to you unless they are quest related and you have the quest that requires them
awful ui made for consoles and only 2 consumable slots, making alch spec a chore
no resource management, you just instantly get all your potions back for whats essentiallly free
enemys have 1, maybe 2, attack that they repeat over and over, making fights absolutely boring after an hour
level system only works to the games detriment, as youll quickly outlevel everything you have to do and it will all be easier than the game already is
coming across a SKULL WARNING SIGN monster should be exciting but it's not, because you know it fights exactly the same as all the others of its kind, only with more hp.
"cinematic" controls that ignore accuracy in favor of looking more natural
even death march is easy as fuck due to a lack of enemy attack variety and every ability you can spec into being way too strong
ciri sections are boring and unneeded and only serve to rob you of what could have been the one interesting boss fight in the game.
the final moments of the story seem rushed as fuck, from oh hi crones now we fight, to im eredin i have a secret, im dying my secret is this guy tricked us and i had no plan to deal with it, to oh actually geralt i didnt trick you
majority of loot is randomized and scales to your level. Nothing you find really excites you.
all enemies have an extremely short tether that you will cross unintentionally more often than not. At this point they ignore you and start walking back to the center of the area or hang around to get hit easily
witcher senses are only ever used when the quest requires it and is just hold right click to follow quest arrow. you cant actually track monsters or anything out in the world(and why would you need to? theyre all tethered to a small location and never move away)

Thanks. I knew people were falling for the hype.

Which game would you recommend? Is Mount & Blade a good game?

6/10 game. Had potential, wasted it.

>>378170482
no, but it has the best atmosphere combined with story to date unless you count nostalgia titles which number in the hundreds.

>>378171884
I actually dig this pasta.

>>378171937
Why are rpgs so trash, it's always like playing CSI medieval, oh look talk to 30 people in 30 different places and follow tracks and signs and shit until you FINALLY either talk your way out of it or fight something 9 hours later.

>>378170748
The open world is pretty, but pointless. There's very little reason to actually explore. It's completely dependent on an icon filled minimap to get around, which is the worst way to handle an open world. Yes, you can turn it off, but if the entire game is designed around using a minimap, it's incredibly frustrating to get around without it. The combat is also fucking awful.

I also think that the quality of the sidequests/writing in general is really overrated. People always point to the bloody baron quest as the example of its great writing. And that was a good quest, but there's almost no other quests that are that level of writing in the game. I enjoyed the game, but there were big enough drawbacks for me that I find it to be way overrated.

>>378170482
terrible combat

Dragons Dogma was more fun

>>378172635
Yeah but dragon's dogma also reads like a h-manga run through google translate.

What choices do you make in Halo or COD?

>>378170482
not even the best in its own series

>>378170482
>witcher senses
>quest markers

fun game but those two things is what really kills it, not the greatest, not in my top 10 either.
>combat
it's piss, but isn't shit compared to those two things.

>break 90% of combat encounters with igni, even without it it's easily exploited without trying
>story gimmick "every choice has consequences" but can't predict outcomes so it goes down to guessing
>open world for almost no benfit, mostly does harm
>side quests that requires you to move from one area to another often rely on witcher senses, even though some quests work entirely based on dialogue (casualization)
I dunno, pal.

>>378172374
I don't think RPGs are for you.
I think the genre you're looking for is "action adventure", such as Zelda and Horizon Zero Dawn.
