We can all agree this is one of the top 3 greatest games

Everytime I try to play this game I get overwhelmed by all the content and decide to play something else.

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.

The quest design is made for literal braindead children who can't think for themselves. Its obnoxiously yawn inducing because the "investigations" you do are practically you just walking around in circles and spamming X so geralt can shove some more exposition down your throat. It lacks depth, challenge, player activity and more than anything else, longevity. It never evolves into anything more unique or interesting, and it persists through the ENTIRE 150+ hours.

The main quest is basically super mario in poland, where Geralt goes around picking flowers, herding goats and helping every bum under the sun just so he can get the usual message that "nah bro, I don't know shit senpai"

cont

Yeah I enjoyed it a lot more than Blunderborne that /v/ shills constantly.

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.

The gameplay is bad. No twisting that around. Geralds running animation is bad, and whenever he jumps, i giggle at how Shit the jumping animation looks. The world is pretty and detailed, but in my small town in germany alone, there are a hundred better looking places than TW3. I don't play video games to look at realistic landscapes which i can't interract with, at all. Cool tree, you can't climb it or cut it, hell, you can't even set the grass on fire or even cut it. And the combat is so fucking easy and unsatisfying. Look, the Witcher 3 is a game that you play in order to see what's going to happen to the story, how many interesting characters you're going to meet and how many women want geralds dick. You don't play it to see how the gameplay will evolve. If you can't understand this simple fact then it is You who is the pleb.
I tried to get into the game 3 times now. Forced myself hard to like it. Yesterday i dropped it for the 3rd time after 15 hours. In that stupid dungeon where you follow swallow symbols and the Hunt. I beat the golem and then the stupid boring sequence where you're inside that magic barrier sphere with that witch, protecting her from the demon dogs or something. At that point, the Music kicked in and it was so, so unfitting, i felt insulted. they tried so hard to make it feel like somethign important is happenign and that you're in danger, but it ended up being just pathetic. The game screams ''Amateurs at work'' and they are, cd projekt are literal amateurs. I don't care if they existed since the 90's. If 600 fuckign eomployees managed to make this piece of shit (gameplay wise) then they are amateurs.
You should really try and play more games.

W3 is a good example of how to not overwhelm the player in an open world game.
You always have a main quest to keep you on track and going to a notice board gives you a few quests you can focus on at a time.

Open world was a mistake. Basically all of the games problems stem from their decision to do an open-world game. The crafting system, the levelling, the endless filler content.
