Great movie, but why did they advertise is as a videogame? The movie also makes you mash buttons and press forward between the scenes, I found that strange.

But its not empty, the game is full of small towns, ruins, caves and forests to explore. What else would you expect in a medieval fantasy game?

>>381592370
He's right though, once you clear a bandit camp or monster nest the enemies are gone forever and eventually the entire world becomes totally empty.

Are you fucking kidding me? Witcher shills are the god damn worst.

>empty world once you clear and accomplish everything

Yes it only takes 500 hours of game play to do that, no buggy right?

What can you even do in this game? All I saw on youtubes was either:
>bunch of cutscenes that go on forever with dialogue options less diverse than Fallout 4, everyone has bong accents
or
>spin to win until everything dies
or
>activate batman senses and follow the trail until you find a monster
It looks boring as shit. Give me an example of the game being good

>>381593289
pretty much that. some of the areas have nice graphics you can admire too

it even lacks the proper bro ups of witcher 1, or the medieval operator broups of witcher 2. soulless as fuck

>>381593048
Fighting bandits was fun, much better than the boring-ass drowners or wild dogs that are the only enemies you're left with.

>>381593108
Don't really know what you expected then, its pretty much what you would expect considering its what the witcher 2 was like to be honest.

Sorry but Witcher 3 is eternally done. It has shitty assassin creed combat, nonsenseical shit like looting everyones house while they are looking at you and trys its very hardest to be a cinematic movie game.

>>381592370
The only places of significance outside the story are the question marks on the map (which being on by default ruins any sense of exploration.) There's literally nothing to do and basically zero interaction with the world outside of that, doesn't matter how many NPC's there are. Maybe you can talk to the odd person to get a quest to follow a trail so you can get an item and return to said person, TW3 is basically fetch-quest driven conversation simulator, it's good at what it does for people who are into that kind of thing but it wasn't even the best game of 2015, let alone the past decade.

The controls are absolute dogshit, CDPR obviously realised this since they added an alternative control mode but it isn't that much of an improvement. Try riding in a boat while a Siren attacks you and you'll see what I mean. The combat is shallow (menu management isn't depth) and there's really just nothing very interesting about the gameplay, it's based on the books and that's exactly what it is, a movie game. At least Ciri was cute.

This game is complete shit. Genuinely. Unbelievably boring. Fuck off.

Everything about the game is literally 10/10 except for the gameplay.

No. This game almost immediately becomes completely boring garbage after the starting area. As soon as you get to the main swamp map after the 5 hour tutorial zone it's just fucking shit and the game becomes intolerably dull.

Not an argument.
Fallout 4's gunplay is fairly solid and the crafting elements are pretty cool. Not the best game, but a fun experience.
Witcher 3 has horrible combat, a clunky overworld, and snoozefest cutscenes. Not at all fun to play.

>>381593726

If you added more monster types and more unique monster hunts instead of shit just standing out in a field,, then maybe. It's a great game, but it felt like it had a case of the MMO, which really didn't hold up between the awesome main storylines. I fucking LOVE TW1 and 2 and was hyped out of my fucking mind for TW3, But once I got used to the combat, I was a little let down, for sure.

Though in my mind, the only game that can give it a run for its money is Nier Automata. Both are masterpieces with flaws (and god like soundtracks), but Nier straight up changed my perspective of video games and did things I never expected or even considered in a video game.

The scope of the world, the thought put into even the smallest quests, meaningful choices and consequences, always staying true to the lore without pandering to retarded minorities. You can tell from a mile that devs were putting their heart into this, this is no rushed AAA BiWare turd. Oh yeah and combat is perfectly fine unless you're a newfag shit and can't play anything older than Dark Souls.
Easily one of the best games in years, and I know a good RPG when I see one, played everything decent from Fallout and Wizardry 8 to Deus Ex and Bloodlines.
Bottom line is, no games perfect but anyone saying this much shit about TW3 is a fucking tool.

>>381592148
I bought the game because of /v/ and finished my second playthrough 2 days ago.
Pretty disappointed after all this shilling honestly
Too much dialogues, I was fast reading and skipping without hearing the characters talking at some point during sidequests because of how dull and repetitive the dialogues were.

Open world is like those anons said >>381593581 >>381594367
nothing to discover by yourself, it's all spoonfeeded to you so you're basically running from A to B, feels like a chore. Not what you would expect from an open world

Gameplay is good but still poor if you compare it to skyrim for exemple. And the signs are simply boring. Also weaponry is only swords and hammers(which are garbage) so nothing to praise here. not much good to say about talent tree even with blood and wine extension

90% of the quests are shit.
treasure= kill the monsters around, read the letter, find the treasure
contract= ask the guy, find the dead bodies, follow the scent, kill the monster
wew, only a few sidequests are interesting when they don't follow this scheme

Main story is alright, a fan of the books would probably love the adaptation. same for someone who is a total fan of the serie and reads the hundred books and letters in the game.
Graphics are the only thing which cannot be criticized.

Heart of stone DLC was the best thing about this game.

What the fuck does that even mean in this context? Who cares if game designers had some unspecified vision? They just made a generic medieval rpg with shit combat, endless rambling cutscenes, an overmarked world, and uninspired sidequests. There is nothing ambitious about Witcher 3. The game's best element is the random Magic card game they shoehorned into it.

>>381602080
That's a single point of the gameplay that makes up a tiny fraction of what goes into the primarily side quests in which it's used.

The game still has a deep skill point system to exploit and customize to fit a build and all that. Beth games on the other hand... you break the economy after 30 minutes and just spend the rest of the game dicking around from plot point to plot point.

>>381602327

Skyrim does that, too.

>>381602327
>15 skills
>you can only equip 8 of them at a time
>90% of them are passives
>now you can HOLD the attack button for a stronger attack!!!

>>381602020
But any game's gameplay is good compared to Witcher 3. The whole game is running around an unpolished, obstruction laden overworld. It seriously feels like they designed a world and just threw a random character model on top of it. And the combat system is just swinging a sword and throwing runes at enemies who have robotic and overly repetitive attack sequences. Skyrim doesn't have award winning gameplay, but at least your character feels like he belongs in the world and there is some combat diversity (bows, different melee weapon classes, magic etc.).

>>381602634
Right. and it's also about farming items with synergies for your particular play style.

>>381602797
>it's also about farming items with synergies for your particular play style
Skyrim does that, too. So does Dragon Age 2.

Ehh, it has hammers which suck. And its bows are an absolute chore to use compared with any other open world game (BOTW, Horizon Zero Dawn, Hell even Skyrim). I'm not saying Skyrim has good combat, but even it is better than Witcher 3's completely uninspired and mediocre combat.

it's the best RPG we had in years and it will be until CP2077 at the bare minimum if we're lucky until we will experience something this great again

>>381603868
W3 still has better combat though, beth's engine is just shit.

Everything was already said ITT. I'd like to add that it has a shit minigame only hardcore MTG freaks can derive some enjoyment from, instead of based dice poker

>>381603929
>it's the best RPG we had in years
It really has been a fucking drought for RPGs when this game is noteworthy.

>>381592148
I liked it until it was too hard

>>381603992
I don't care about the stupid, contradiction argument anymore. Now I'm just curious: do you actually think W3's combat is anything less than shit or are you just a shitposting fanboy?

>>381601637
>nothing to discover by yourself, it's all spoonfeeded to you so you're basically running from A to B, feels like a chore. Not what you would expect from an open world
this

Which is more childish: A game that refuses to acknowledge sexuality exists, or a game that uses sexuality to enforce the idea that it is mature?

>>381604061
RPGs really did have a terrible decade but W3 is god tier stop being so salty about it

>>381604428
The second one. Ignoring sexuality could just be prudish.

>>381592148
But that game sucks

>>381604747
>W3 is god tier
>still saying salty
I don't even have to shitpost Witcher threads, this is terrific.

>>381604747
you can't really roleplay. and there is not much in the way of choice bar kill X or kill Y oh so fucking deep so fucking deep. and building your character is shallow as fuck.

so how is it some kind of RPG saviour? indie trash is better

let me guess it's a bad RPG because you can't roleplay as a cumdumpster that just came out from vault 101 to suck every ghoul dick in the wasteland, yeah it's so terrible to play as a cool witcher

into the trash the garbage opinion goes

Dunno about game of the decade but it definitely ruined open world games for me by proving that it is very much possible to have an engaging story and a huge open world to explore. I used to think that it would be just too much to expect a story full of well presented, well animated, fully voiced dialogue and cut scenes in an open world game and that i should be happy i'd have one or the other. I still think it's bullshit to only find a scrap of text and some random items and crafting materials in a chest when exploring a ruin tho.

On PC, yeah.
On consoles, yes.

i played this game through short bursts, it got boring but was also really fun i played it quite a bit and stopped, i came back 2 months later and enjoyed the dlc hearts of stone deeply, blood and wine was ok overall i played it after stressfull days and realize now that it was why i enjoyed it. mostly the story was good but i wouldn't go as far to say it's game of the decade but it's in my top 10 and definitely worth the $25 i spent on the complete edition

>>381605410
you can't roleplay as absolutely everything you want, you make the decision for geralt though. it's not different than roleplaying as commander shepard for the matter

>>381605301
What about the gameplay?

>>381603743

It's an okay game you tards, the combat is probably one thing Bethesda got finally right after failing with every prior game

lol

not sure how any of that has anything to do with witcher 3 barely being an rpg. pro tip: you can gain levels in borderlands and it's not an rpg

>>381605708
>you can't roleplay as absolutely everything you want
Having more than two choices at a time for one character to make would be an improvement.
>it's not different than roleplaying as commander shepard for the matter
Who said anything about Mass Effect?

>>381605731
it was good in my opinion, i leave it out because it always leads to 200+ posts about drowners (tm) and BAMHAM senses as if other RPGs are masters of combat. W3 has better combat than the majority of games in this genre

>>381605708
you can't really roleplay as geralt either. he's a pre-established character for 99% of the time and you just choose his waifu or le less evil choice xDDD

so deep. so deep

I've just started playing so no spoilers but is Ciri's parentage explained in TW:3?

I remember after playing TW:2 i was looking up some stuff on the wiki and i thought Geralt obtained Ciri for some normal people who couldn't afford to pay him so he used some law that let him take something they didnt know they had - which turned out to be a kid (ciri)

Did the dad go on to become the emperor? Or did some kind of fuckery happen? I just did the meeting with the Emperor and he seems to know Geralt and Ciri had a relationship, since he says 'she trusts you' - but does he know about all the stuff i just said before?
If it's explained later in the game that's fine, but i'm worried its just gonna be a gap

>>381605352
thanks, my dude

>>381592148
It wasn't even deserving of GOTY.

Which is a shame, because I really like what the company is trying to do for PC gaming.

Wish they didn't fall for the Open World fad, could've been a much tighter experience.

>>381605986
>I've just started playing so no spoilers but is Ciri's parentage explained in TW:3?
Yeah, pretty quickly into the game.

It's confirmed that CD Project is the one who makes these threads.

How fucking pathetic is it that they need to give themselves false-praise.

Because they know all those bought-off GOTY awards and badges mean less than nothing.

Fucking pathetic.

Maybe one day they will actually make an RPG. Fourth time's the charm, sausageniggers.

>way too much cutscenes
I want 'hurrr interactive movie durr story in games is a flaw' meme to die

the game has great story, dialogues and atmosphere, the world is original and coherent, side characters are likable and fun to hang out with, top tier waifus

combat and batsense investigations are dumbed down but it's okay since the game is in fact an actual interactive movie and unlike anything /v/ contrarians are trying to force down everybody's throat, it doesn't mean it's bad

> i'll be back latter

most RPGs give you a fake sense of choices. very few games actually have many different possibilities and each one of these games had their own share of problem. W3 isn't VtM:B rich in possible lores but it doesn't take away it being an RPG. and a masterful one at that

>>381592148
Yes.

We can't make any real statement about GOTD until 2019 is almost over and we've actually seen all the games of 2010-2020.

That's still 2 and a half years worth of games that could end up being amazing.

>>381606762
>W3 isn't VtM:B rich in possible lores but it doesn't take away it being an RPG
That's exactly what it does. And even if your post weren't full of shit, how does having the same number of impactful choices as Fallout 4 or Dragon Age Inquisition make it stand out?

>>381592148
Holy fuck this game is boring shit. Might as well read the novels.

>>381606935
it has more impactful choices than these shit games for starters

second you can keep beating your head it isn't an rpg. the most correct definition for W3 is an aRPG since it does have more action elements than other rpgs, but just because it doesn't give you a point dump system where you throw some points into lock picking or hacking so you could play a minigame that gives you accesses to another room doesn't mean it lacks place for you to take control over the character and play in his shoes and insert your own vision and role into him and the game world

3am in the shithole i live in, goodbye

>>381592148
Dude, I enjoyed Skyrim more than I enjoyed the Witcher 3, and Skyrim is dogshit.
The environments you explore are boring.
Wow here is a nice meadow vista and another. wow nice meadow. Swamp. oh wow look at this grass that looks like that grass.

>>381607245
>it has more impactful choices than these shit games for starters
It really doesn't. And they both have just as many, Witcher just cuts out any option for the character to have a personality chosen by the player. Even FO4 gives you that.
>3am in the shithole i live in
Maybe living in a shithole is why you think Witcher 3 does anything unique or interesting.

>>381607245
Can we get an example of an "impactful choice" in TW3?
I mean, actual choice with consequence, not

Unless Cyberpunk comes out before the end of 2020, I think Witcher 3 is gonna take it.

>>381592148
Witcher 3, RDR, Arkham City and Dark Souls are equal candidates for GOTD (maybe the last of us too, but I haven't played It yet)

There's nothing wrong with Arkham city but I don't think it would be on par with the others.
TLOU is on par with Skyrim. Amazing if you're a casual, okay at best if you're not.
