Name ONE THING about TW3 that would make it a "masterpiece".

Seriously, one single thing that it did better than, or improved on, other RPGs that already exist.

Just one thing it really did well.

>>381861179
its not even good, it's not a casual thing, it's the mcu, just proof that you get put out shit and as long as the fantasy is right and it looks expensive the masses will gobble it up

Its the ultimate Ubisoft game but made by slavs.

Imagine the game with shit graphics. Seriously, think about playing it with like, Dragon Age graphics. Plays exactly the same in every way.

It'd be a fucking AWFUL game.

You can have an amazing engine and have no clue how to direct camera during cutscenes, or create tense moments with audio etc. I think it's all part of presentation

Ever play Bound by Flame and Technomancer?
They have some some pretty poor graphics ,story and combat very similar to the Witcher 3 but everyone and their mom hates it. /v/ hates it, normies hate them and the media hate them.

If you bring Bound by Flames and Technomacer 's graphics up to the Witcher 3's level and throw in some titties for the 12 year olds, they would still be better RPGs than the Witcher 3.

>>381863228
the graphics are pretty good and the combat is responsive and satisfying, but yes: without nemesis it's just ass creed merged with batman arkham

>storytelling
I genuinely liked all of the 3 major zone quests and I think those could stand on their own, overarching quest I didn't care much for because I dislike Ciri as a character (she's the reason I stopped giving a fuck about the books). Heart of Stone is an amazing story on its' own (haven't played blood and wine yet). Surely the pace\writing (which is subjective) isn't as good as say Planescape but it's an open world game and I think it puts its' own limitations
>gameplay
I think the combat is better than any other open world RPG (except Dragon's Dogma). Only major flaw for me is the limitations due to you playing a witcher. + The game loop was fun for me, some of the contracts were good stories (even tho the loop with the detective mode is the same every time), Witcher hunts were good stories if you actually read the books instead of just running to the next quest mark. I don't think it's an innovation but it's way better made than those before. I thought it would atleast raise the bar as far as AAA Open world games are concerned and shit like Fallout 3\Skyrim wouldn't fly anymore. Sadly Fallout 4 still sold even tho it was (in terms of worldbuilding\story\dialogues\characters) even worse than F3. Altho even some normies shat on its' story so

Legit masterpiece.

Asylum and City are legitimately good, bordering on great.

The Witcher 3 has next to nothing in common with the games you listed anyway, so I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make.

>>381863714
Forgot to add, that my one big problem is the way they've done potions and traps etc. I think it takes away from the "witcher" feeling - careful preparation for particular monster, with the way you can chug potions limitlessly, change oils on the run etc. I'm not sure how they could've done it but I wish they've made it so you actually had to prepare for particular monsters and have it so potions actually took a huge toll on you (cause toxicity doesn't do jackshit)

Making facial expressions and gesture look natural for the specific situation. Sound effects being designed to enhance the ambience, focussing the attention to the events happening while doing little things to add to it (like people crawling away from a threat or w/e).

Every event feels like a lot of thought went into it with the details and how to transport the right atmosphere to the player, I haven't feel once that they messed up with it.


I mean, even little things like crackling wood when there's a storm going on or how all the flora and fauna swings and moves, it all feels very believable insted of a themepark videogame.

I guess the keyword is immersion, it is very immersive.

I never got past Flotsam in TW2 because it bored the heck out of me, so I never gave 3 a change, but I keep seeing people here refer to it as the best open world RPG in the last decade, so I've been thinking of grabbing it while Steam still has it on sale, I just want to know, is it really a good RPG? My favorite RPG of the last decade was FONV because it seemed every quest had a different, logical way to complete each quest, and they all had various outcomes based on your decisions that could effect the entire world as a whole, like pic related, is TW3 the same? Because I love RPGs that actually play out like real RPGs and not just linear pseudo-RPGs like Dragon Age Inquisition or FO4, and FONV is the only recent RPG that actually captures that feeling and I've been seeking another RPG like it

>>381865548
Side quests are the best part of the game. Very varied and well made. Whats lacking as an rpg is character creation as Geralt is firmly established. But you can play him in many different ways both in terms of gameplay and dialoge, there is also some customization of his appearance.

Ultimate game for casuals, and only casuals think otherwise. And if you think, "no, that's wrong because I think that and I'm not a casual," then that means you are even more casual than you think. Dunning-Kruger effect, look it up.

Some things could be improved. I think instead of littering the map with bland points of interest they could've condensed handfuls of them into memorable experiences i.e. having huge bandit camps to raid with a miniboss per instead of five dudes sitting around a campfire for the 30th time. Some conversations had characters "interrupting" each other where the person speaking would hold an awkward pause mid-sentence then a second later somebody cuts them off. Combat should be more consequential by making decisions have more value and improving the enemy AI so you can't just space an attack to strike JUST as an enemy predictably winds up an attack of their own when you've gotten too close. Doing this and spamming your infinite dodges over and over will win you pretty much every non boss enemy fight. Also quen is way too good and there's no melee combat variety, only skill variety.

>>381865548
It's nothing like FNV, quests in TW3 are very linear, the few times you get choices it's just choosing between 2 different quests that ultimately lead to the exact same place regardless of your choice, nothing ever approaches the intricate web of choice and consequence of New Vegas or similar games, not even close.
story consequences are purely cosmetic, like it never mattering when some character dies because that character's involvement in the story was over anyway, so they might as well be dead for all you care.
It doesn't take into account your character choices, no stats or skill checks, or whether or not you have a certain quest related item on your inventory.
Quests are linear to the point where in most cases you can't even complete them out of order, if you try go off the established path you will constantly run into mysteriously locked doors that open only when you complete the predetermined previous step in the quest chain, or named NPCs that don't talk to you even if they are in dire need of a witcher, simply because you haven't followed the quest order as the devs intended.
The story routinely forces consequences on the player without giving them any choice in the matter, unlike proper RPGs where you always have a say in important matters.
You can never join any factions or anything like that and the only important story consequences are dumped at the ending slides, you have no effect whatsoever on the world while you play.
Also quests rely entirely on following quests markers/batman vision and repetitive combat, nothing else.

I often see people shitting on TW3 without being able to offer a better alternative. Don't you want to direct your fellow anons to a game more worthy of their time? Or are you just shitposting because you're miserable?

>>381861896
The world actually felt like a world. Starting a hunting quest just to find out it was shit little orphan kids, and then getting your client to adopt them so they could stop being shit little orphan kids was a side quest that you could completely miss out on. The actual Witcher bits were cool, and CD Red gives you the option to turn off the map assists if you want to try to immerse yourself more, or leave them on if you want to be casual. The lore on the monsters is pretty cool, and characterization of pretty much everyone that's not Geralt is pretty great as well. I didn't say likable characters, I said they were characterized well. The game also had creative ways to fuck with people who tried to game the system through glitching and bullshit- They didn't care if you did it a few times but if you spent an hour trying to get infinite money the game told you to fuck off. Most of the main quests along the way were well written and memorable, the red baron or whatever the fuck it's called is one of the most memorable quests in recent years of RPG's.

>>381867373
>CD Red gives you the option to turn off the map assists if you want to try to immerse yourself more
If this were true then NPCs and quest descriptions would give you useful directions instead of things only Geralt understands (and are presented as markers to the player).
Like the Pellar telling you his father is buried "in the swamp" or the guy who is looking for his brother in the nearby battlefield in White Orchard stating in his note that he's camping past the bridge just outside town when in reality he's sitting all the way in the next town over, way farther than "outside town", this happens in the vast majority of quests with very few exceptions, if any.

>>381866696
The first arc of TW3, Bloody Baron, has choices that radically change the outcome and have world consequences. One of the first secondary quests with Keira Metz already has world consequences. There are Axii skill checks throughout but not other skill checks; the equivalent would be leveling up abilities to counter certain enemies and preparing alchemy before a boss. There are quest chains tied to whether or not a character dies. Plenty of quests have optional completion paths, you can easily do things out of order and/or fuck yourself out of rewards if you're into that, the only locked door I came across was the games end location which rightfully shouldn't be possible to enter because of the lore. You can make decisions that side with factions but not in the same way NV or TES has you joining it directly. Also I think by lore witchers are neutral mercenaries for hire so joining factions would be like blasphemy. No offense but it sounds like you haven't even played the game.

>>381865548 If you play TW3 then pirate and start on the hardest difficulty. Buy if you like it but don't let people who haven't even played the game talk you out of trying something you might like.

It's the game of the generation. Only Red Dead Redemption 2 could top it

I'm currently playing it. It's a fun game, but it suffers from several Open World problems.
Stuff like Abandoned Settlements gets rather repitive, especially those forced timeskips.
There is also far too much leveled stuff, even without auto leveling, like level 20+ drowners. Relics became far less interesting once I realized that they are just leveled loot I could find over and over again.

Gothic 1 and 2 did Open World far better, but W3 is still a nice game.

>>381867441
>Far better

Whatever you say o great contrarian. Chances are these games have already been played due to their age and witcher 3 easily makes it onto that list as well.


Just stop clenching your buttcheeks for a moment and you can recognize it as a great game. Others in your list have much more aspects that are lacking.

Did you start posting in 2015? Skyrim is the king of casual RPGs. It is so casual that they basically removed the "Role" part of the RPG to better appeal to casuals. It is so casual that 5 years after it's release they are still re-releasing it.

>>381866893
While I think Dragon's Dogma has a lot of flaws and could be greatly improved, depending on what you like and dislike, it could be a better alternative. The ubisoft formula of filling the world with so much shit that your autism and ADD can't let you make it through one simple sidequest without getting sidetracked is very much present in The Witcher 3, but it's not there as much in dragon's dogma. I felt like after you get through the first introductory sections of dragon's dogma, it is way more friendly to people who just want to explore and kill giant monsters. Plus, you have a lot more control over your character, in terms of movement AND playstyle.
Dragon's Dogma definitely has less raw content than the witcher, but I feel that it's a better alternative for those who want an open world ARPG where they kill giant monsters. TW3 is best for people who can handle walking past 20 collectibles and 3 quest markers and ignoring them every time you have to complete a new fetch quest.

>>381868092
>The first arc of TW3, Bloody Baron, has choices that radically change the outcome and have world consequences. One of the first secondary quests with Keira Metz already has world consequences
This isn't true, the Baron quest has no effect at all in the rest the game, it doesn't affect later encounters with the crones or when you have to come back to pick Uma, The baron is gone either way and the entirety of Velen remains the same regardless of what you do.
The only thing that changes with Keira is if she makes it to Kaer Morhen or not, which only affects wether or not Lamber survives, which ultimately doesn't matter because neither characters has a role in the actual story, it's purely self-contained and unrelated to major events, it doesn't even affect the outcome of the Kaer Morhen battle wich has a predefined consequence that the player can't do anything about.
>There are Axii skill checks
There's no more than 5 total, if that. and they are all completely worthless and do not open any new paths, all of them can be passed through other means.
>the only locked door I came across was the games end location which rightfully shouldn't be possible to enter because of the lore.
Maybe that's because you never set foot outside the established path?
It happens all the time, even on White Orchard, right at the start. If you go find the Gryphon nest before being sent by the story you will find the Gryphon corpse and all the garrison soldier corpses but you strangely can't interact with anything, even if activating Witcher Senses makes them glow, you are only allowed to investigate once the story tells to you to. Same way you can't enter the Herbalist house until the Garrison commander tells you to go talk to her, which gets even weirder when you take into account that the Herbalist posted a notice in town informing that she's paying top coin for Honeycombs, which you can actually harvest but can't sell to her because you can't enter her house.

The Witcher 2 is more of a masterpiece than the Witcher 3, to be honest. I loved the second Witcher game. When I bought it in 2012 I didn't get past the prologue. I finished it back in winter and loved it.

>>381861896
Absolutely top tier landscape and culture.
Lacking in the armor variety department for npcs. Those Vikings should've looked like Vikings. Bandits shouldn't come only in three types, naked, half naked, half naked with shoes.
The cities needed a more distinct armor type. More than just the bowl helm and epaulets with the large breastplate that makes everyone look like they have a pot belly.
Nilfgaard was fine, they could have been more "Teutonic" though, and they should have had more quests.
Combat was decent, if a bit lackluster. I want to see an RPG like the witcher with a human v human combat system and a monster v human combat system. Human v human playing a bit like For Honor plays in the general way. And the monster v human being more like Dark Souls, minus the cancer.

Who do I believe in regards to this game?

Almost this.
World design is top tier and beats overrated shit like BotW every time. Cities feel like cities, map makes sense from story standpoint and has great immersion. Lands ravaged by war look exactly like they should, that is sometimes you see a hanged corpse, some leftovers of a battle etc.
Novigrad alone could be a whole story DLC for a game like Skyrim.
Both expansions are amazing and HoS is probably best story i ever saw in RPG (only better being probably Planescape: Torment).
And gameplay is fucking there, people just like to meme about it. It's not Skyrim where shit combat kills whole game because there is nothing else to do.
Horse racing (i play with PC controls and never had problems with riding on Roach, dunno the fuck people are talking about), fist fighting, fucking GWENT, probably the best minigame in any game ever.
You can turn off minimap and question marks to enhance gameplay. And it really feels better that way.
And the only reason combat is so shit is because they scrapped like 90% of fucking gameplay when they needed to start making whole game from scratch again half in development, becuse it was not possible to make 2 separate versions for console and PC and they simply had to port PC version from consoles.

Just like Dragons Dogma, but with ezmode button and horrible online.


Overall you just gave actually only 1 series, that is not isometric/turnbased medieval rpg.

>>381866284
Ok friend, glad an astute scholar of who is casual and who is not, such as yourself, came to clear this up

>>381870234
why would you assume someone interested in the witcher 3 would consider deus ex an alternative?

>>381868937
>Dragon's dogma
>Huge world with literally no reason to explore anywhere that isn't between you and a questmarker
>Gameplay was repetitive as fuck, even moreso than in Witcher
>Terrible UI

>Sidequests were allright.
I want 100$ dollars worth of the same shit that makes you offer DD as a better alternative

>>381870269
Anon never specified anything so it's fair to assume we're talking about games that are generally considered to be RPGs to some extent or another, just like the witcher series.
If you want to be more specific and only consider consolized open world third-person melee focused action games with streamlined dialogue sequences in between, then there's lots of other games that can be mentioned as well, most of them are only marginally better than TW3, or just as bad if not worse, but since people constantly proclaim TW3 to be "the best rpg evur!!11" I assumed we were just talking about RPGs instead.

>>381870572
Because they have a lot in common and generally interest the same kind of people even if they are not identical?

Setting is nice but the combat is even worse than witcher, writing is mediocre at best. Series has single actually good game.

>Arcanum
>Age of Decadence
Gameplay is clunky and unbalanced as shit, writing is the only good part.

>Botw
Not familiar with it.

>KOTOR2
Unifinished piece of shit only good for writing

>D:OS
Trash writing, only good for combat

>Dragons Dogma
One trick pony empty game

witcherfags always compare the witcher with games like Fallout 4, DA:I or Andromeda, even though one is a post-apocalyptic shooter, the other is a party based, cooldown based RTwP and the other is a sci-fi third person shooter with intergalactic travel.

I bought both the witcher 3 and skyrim on ps4 lately

I don't feel good about it :(

Don't post lossy version of the game for poorfags please. It's already downgraded because of consolefags.

>>381871931
Why not, moron? Both are great games

>le edgy one liner

Comparisons of w3 to batman arkham and assassin games seem pretty harsh and probably upset a lot of people, but they're definitely legit. especially bamham.

>>381872039
At least us "poorfags" have friends and people we interact with in real life.

>Suppose I want to play a comfy, epic, visually appealing medieval RPG

you don't play witcher 3, you just watch cutscenes and follow markers

>>381872207
Can you fuck off and "play" with your fidget spinner, autist fuck.

So much butthurt in threads about this game, I love it

>>381862573
>It'd be a fucking AWFUL game.
With a great story, great characters, ridiculously amazing attention to detail, sidequests with better stories than most AAA games, some of the best designed "medieval" locations in video games etc.

>being salty because the '''''''''''''''game'''''''''''' wasn't 100% cutscenes

guess following markers is too difficult for you

I'm surprised these contrarians haven't renounced breathing yet, I mean, every fucking casual does it. But yes as a surprise to no-one, this pretty much sums it up; the design and style of W3 doesn't drastically differ from W2, if you don't count the open world, but /v/ hates W3 because it's popular.

Good first half

Goes to shit after you find Ciri

>>381861179
Trash that everywhere but /v/ has long forgotten about.

>>381869475

They were Viking/Scotsman.

>>381861179
I played it for about 5ish hours and really expected to like it but it felt so cluttered and irritating to control and the combat didn't feel quite right. I liked the first witcher game quite a bit though. I know it still has pretty wonky combat but the story and exploration was more interesting to me I guess.

>>381873103
>long forgotten about
Meanwhile they sold more in Q1 2017 than Q1 2016

Sure sucks being this wrong.

What a tragedy of nu-/v/, filled with newfriends and normalfags.

they invaded the North, for most it's enough to hate them, also it's not the first time they did that
