>compared to Skyrim and other Bethesda games

They're Tolkein-esque open world fantasy RPGs and Witcher has an uncanny amount of things that Skyrim does but better. Even its vikings, war setting, and vampire dlc are better despite the fact that two of these are supposed to be bigger deals in Skyrim.

I thought that I hated Skyrim because it was set a generic medieval fantasy world, but then I played Witcher and realized that the setting wasn't the problem but the execution.

Also. Yeah you can technically be more things in Skyrim but there's a reason people say "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. None of the roles you fill, from archmage, to imperial soldier, to leader of the Companions have as much depth to them in terms of choices you can make as being a Witcher does. Skyrim would have been better off just sticking to a handful of things and doing them more competently and the same is true of trading town quantity for size and for making NPCs more memorable even if it meant fewer of them. What makes Witcher standout is that there's not much of a trade off; it's both vaster than Skyrim and yet it has a ton of memorable NPCs and questlines. It had a bunch of small villages but it also has an absolute behemoth like Novigrad.

>>382197257
>ton of memorable npcs

Played for 60h and can think of only five. It's just kinda pointless that you cant talk to almost anyone, and when you can talk with anyone, he just gives you one mailmanquest.

>>382197574

The Novigrad bosses alone should consist of four. If you forgot those then you have Alzheimers.

>>382197257
>depth to them in terms of choices you can make as being a Witcher does.

Witcher 3 has about as much choices as Far Cry 4. Few minor there and few bigger here, not really much. Most of the time you're stuck with geralt being geralt.

>>382198489
>being this underage

>>382198679
I haven't played Far Cry 4, so I can't say either way, but I was comparing it to Skyrim. If Far Cry 4 offers as much choice as the Witcher, though, than it also offers more choice than Skyrim.

Playing an established character isn't bad thing, but then it shouldn't be called rpg. Is first resident evil rpg because you have inventory and can make few choices? No? So isn't Witcher 3.

So you would be just fine if fps started to mean every games that has guns? And platformer is ever game with the ability to jump? I don't even know are you stupid are just baiting.

>>382200285
So Far Cry games are now considered rpg's. Nice way to expand genre. And in Final Fantasy games you have multiple characters who you can customize. In witcher there is always just Geralt being Geralt.

>>382199451
Fuck off back to Codex with your autistic revisionism.

it gets high scores for being highly polished and having an assload of content. The writing and narrative is the best in its genre, it really is a technical achievement what they were able to pull off honestly if you think about it. All those animations and cutscenes in 150 hours of gameplay without it looking wonky like andromeda.

>>382200285
>implying TW3 has skills or stats lol.

>>382196149
>>cutscenes constantly interrupting gameplay
What? You mean when you're doing quests? Well yeah, of course they interrupt gameplay to tell the fucking story.

this isn't true at all

>>combat is just bad, just spam signs and fast attack and you win everyone

Never heard anyone else complaining about the FoV but you could have easily modded it if it bothered you that much

>>moving is just some weird sliding
The "alternative movement" mode fixes this entirely

>>missions are all the same: just use witchersenses and spam e-key or just follow marker on the map, you don't have to think for yourself at any point
this is the only valid complaint here

>>"openworld" is very restricted, can't go here, can't go here until you've done this etc
this is LITERALLY wrong

>>you have no say in what's your character like, it's always the same, sarcastic geralt with two swords
This is also wrong, you can make decisions that completely change the course of quests. If you were expecting to play an RPG with an established character and have him not act like his own established character, you're a retard. RPG doesn't mean that you play as a blank slate.

>>you can't be evil even if you wanted to

obviously it isn't gonna appeal to people who aren't in to narrative driven games, same with games like original nier and deadly premonition, it just isn't for you anon

>>382200624
This couldn't be more true. Like someone already said, Witcher would work better as a tv-series, because the best part is story and setting. It's just bad as a game and appeals to people who like last of us and uncharted games; you don't really have to do anything but just walk to next cutscene.

It felt like an Assassin's Creed game with RPG elements.

>>382200486
>What is the alchemy, combat, signs trees

>>382200947
Why are narrative driven games held to the same standard as games that are actually good?
The scoring system is exactly the same.
Game reviews are broken. TW3 (and many other "games") should have a page on IMDB.

>>382200512
>>>cutscenes constantly interrupting gameplay
>What? You mean when you're doing quests? Well yeah, of course they interrupt gameplay to tell the fucking story.
Story could be told better, like with text dialog.
>>>even dialog is mostly cutscenes, you rarely have any say in what geralt says to people
>this isn't true at all
Yes it is. You usually have 1-4 dialog options, but with NO variety at all how you deal with things. When you have variety, it's just take the wuest or not.
>>>combat is just bad, just spam signs and fast attack and you win everyone
>confirmed for having played on normal difficulty
I play on blood and broken bones. The combat is just broken.
>Never heard anyone else complaining about the FoV but you could have easily modded it if it bothered you that much
When this became a good argument? Bethesda gets bashed for having mos fixing things, but Witcher is good when it does the same.
>The "alternative movement" mode fixes this entirely
Not entirely, barely.
>>>"openworld" is very restricted, can't go here, can't go here until you've done this etc
>this is LITERALLY wrong
Not it isn't, you can't explore the world right away.
>This is also wrong, you can make decisions that completely change the course of quests. If you were expecting to play an RPG with an established character and have him not act like his own established character, you're a retard. RPG doesn't mean that you play as a blank slate.
The decisions doesn't affect shit. Even Skyrims ridicolous civil war affects more

Final Fantasy is not RPG. It is JRPG.

JRPG is a sub-category or CRPG, therefore any JRPG is also a CRPG.

>>382199451

But you can do exactly that except for appearance, you nitwit.
Do you even think about what you write?

Anyway, none of your criteria for what makes an RPG are correct.

They should've just stick to their original plan and put a blank character in that world instead of Geralt.

>>382196149
Years later will you still be making threads complaining about the same games? We've already been over this shit a thousand times when it came out. Fuck off.

>>382202873
I think the reason people react so strongly in a negative way is because the journalist hype around the game was enormous.
It's really just an okay game. Okay characters, awful dialogue, okay story, bad gameplay, okay graphics, okay music, good setting.

So what spawned all the shitposting about this game? I mean it's not even about whether you think the game is good or not, even if you don't think it's good there's no way it's bad enough to warrant daily threads like this over two years after release. Hell, MGSV came out after it and it gets talked about less and that game was actually shit, plus it way more hype. "MGSV was shit" threads died like last year and these threads still happen. So what caused it, all the awards?

>>382202124

That has to be the most idiotic thing I've read on /v/ tonight so far.

>>382203387

Then of course you have the shitposters who just want to stir up arguments because their lives are empty.

I don't particularly understand why people claim Witcher 3 is bad simply because it doesn't strictly follow genre conventions. No, it's not a full-fledged RPG. The game has RPG elements, but it's essentially an action-adventure game. The emphasis is on world, character progression, and story. That's what the game tried to be, and it succeeds brilliantly.

Contarianism and hipster faggotry doesn't explain people spamming anti-Witcher threads like this. Some games have dedicated fanbases but this game has a massively dedicated hatebase, there are faggots who spam the same webms over and over again, you check the archive and there's like hundreds of posts from the same person. What the fuck? Wasn't there some fag from Reddit who would spam shit every day at the same time?

Lots of people like the game so if you piss on it lots of people will be mad. If your next question is going to be why do people want to make people mad you should probably just kys tbqhf

>>382203505
There is really simple answer to this one. This game was so hyped, that even GTA games aren't hyped that much. Then you see tens of reviews how it is 10/10 and thousands of user comments how it is best game ever you get your hopes up. Then also you read it's openworld rpg and better than skyrim, so you think you're going to play better version of Skyrim.

And then you start the game
>I can't set my stats?
>why is this moving so awkward
>what the hell is going on with this combat
>what where my stats again
>I can't do that? I can't kill that? I can't talk to peasants? I can't go there?

Then you realize that it's just another assassins creed-like action-adventure game and has only some rpg elements and that it has some flaws, so you're obviouslu going to be devastated. It's like schools tell you that marijuana kills you, and then find out that it doesn't do that so you feel betrayed.

If i would've read that it resemblances Assassins creed and is good but not the best thing around, it never would've caused such a backlash.

Waawaa everyone has to like this game!

Witcher 3 is an RPG because you play the role of Geralt

new w3 player here, started the game like four days ago.

people saying it's not an rpg, that's the only meme right here. of course it is. the fact that the map is split into regions also doesn't mean it's not open world. of course it is.

the biggest problem i have with this game is the fucking superficial hype around it because of its supposed similiarity to the shitfest that is game of thrones. god am i sick of hearing/reading that. i think it's a great, polished game that deserves the praise it gets.

polished except for character/facial animations. am i the only one who thinks those seem kinda weird and cheap? seems odd for such a huge aaa game.

>>382206180
Thus super mario bros is rpg, because you play the role of mario.
Thus pacman is rpg, because you play the role of pacman.
Thus every game ever is rpg, because you play the role of some character.

>>382206732
>the fact that the map is split into regions also doesn't mean it's not open world. of course it is.

So every game ever is openworld even though it would be split to levels? Pacman is openworld, because in any level, you can go any place that is accessible to you.

to call the big ass maps/landscapes in witcher 3 (or dragon age inquisition where it's the same deal) 'levels' is just dumb. for reasons i hopefully don't have to explain.

now for comparison if you wanna go on and call the maps in the new hitman or sniper elite 4 levels, i guess i'd be ok with that. but that's just an idea, i'd have to play these two games to give a solid opinion.

Yup. The worst thing about it is how people won't shut the fuck up about how great this fucking boring gaem is. I used to think the same thing about Bloodborne until I finally played it. Too bad Witcher 3 didn't have that effect on me. The combat is so fucking clunky and I don't give a shit about the story in some stupid ass game that takes itself too seriously. At least with Skyrimjob, you pretty much create your own story since the default story is so easy to ignore. Not so with Witcher 3 which puts it front and center. One good thing the Wticher series has, tits & ass I guess. Although it's medicore tits & ass.

low-quality bait

tw3 is one of the best games ever made, not even arguable at this point...you can dislike it, but to say that the game is shit or 7/10 is baiting for responses or being highly delusional

this is coming from someone who only played the 2nd and 3rd game, not even touched the books..the game is simply a masterpiece and a new standard for open world rpgs, even the fucking dlc blood and wine picked up more rewards than some shitty games an average /v/ shitposter praises

Complaining about your redundant threads that you keep making is the reason these threads are being made? Fuck you. There were literally thousands of threads hashing out the problems with this game the year it came out. We don't need you to spam the board with shit we've already been over in the year 2017. Either you are a fucking faggot shitposter redditor doing it for the ebin win xddd or you are a fucking retard newfag. Fuck off.

>>382206180
Witcher is an RPG because you have stats, levels, combat, inventory management, and you go from town to town interacting with people. It's not that hard. Everyone but OP can recognize an RPG like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Xenogears, Earthbound, or Lufia on site. The only point of confusion, that's messed people up for decades, should be something like Zelda (because it also has stats, via magic and health, and character interaction), but OPs image of an RPG is probably Dark Souls, an extremely atypical RPG if you can call it that, since its more or less the only franchise he's ever played.

>>382211273

>>382197257
Both of them were profoundly mediocre, and that's really the end of the conversation as far as I'm concerned. Neither game was captivating, the stories in both games were bland and genuinely uninteresting. Witcher 3 had slightly better combat, and by slightly I mean by the slimmest margin possible while it somehow worsened the dumbed down RPG aspects of Skyrim. And of course the graphics in Skyrim are worse in comparison, but both of them had wonderful empty, boring cities with vague lifeless AI sent to wander aimlessly about, and vast wastelands of vacancies just begging for the Walking Sim Explorer genre proliferation squad to heed their beck and call. Neither of them had compelling characters either. Neither of them was truly spectacular. The sole weight that Skyrim bears over W3 is mod support which is capable of totally reforming everything other than the horrific combat.

strange how only witcherfags get this defensive.

This game constantly tries to over-sexualize everything between Geralt and every other good looking Woman. It's fucking cheesy and annoying. Glad I didn't pull the trigger on the steam sale

>>382211529
It's a great game, but it's extremely overrated. And my main issue is why /v/ likes it so much when it steps on the exact same rakes as Skyrim, Bioware and Ubisoft games.
Lately I've been watching reviews of your usual suspects and the common theme is basically "TW3 looks like a game that couldn't exist", etc. and then they continue to draw parallels with last 10/10 GOAT - Skyrim. Because if you compare TW3 only to Bethesda's creations, then sure, it blows them out of the water. But teh thing is, being better than broken shallow mess is not that much of an achievement on its own.
TW3 flaws at times genuinely make me angry too, because you can see some really good ideas there that were ruined by "lets do it like in Skyrim" execution.

>>382211917
they're about as defensive as whoever makes these threads is assblasted
Daily hate threads is pretty pathetic

>>382211364
I feel like there is a lacking parity in such comparisons. Zelda while it does have "stats" it does not have trees nor stats in a more involved sense. Most abilities are attained via different weapons, none of which are bound to a character.

W3 also has this very same set of mechanics. Inventory management is more involved than older iterations (everything sans BotW.) And There are bound abilities but there are no involved character stats as far as I can recall, and it certainly doesn't beg the same levels of inventory management as something like Diablo or PoE, nor even TeS. It really falls more towards the adventure genre given the way it's driven not necessarily by raw character progression but almost exclusively by the story. Not that that's a detractor but it fails to bear the fruit of the more traditional aspects of RPGs of the past, and in doing so falls outside the boundaries of their definitions.

>>382211783

there's no rule stating you can't discuss older games, and judging by the amount of replies these threads get, especially from defensive witcherfags, it's pretty clear people still want to discuss it.
why act like a faggot over it? if you don't care just ignore it and move on, plenty of other threads (or forums) for you to read.

I just like to shit on it because people keep saying how it is greatest rpg ever made while in truth it isn't rpg at all, but typical ass creed game with no roleplaying options whatsoever. The Witcher have massive normie fanbase which played only few new, more popular "rpg" like Skyrim, Dragon Age and Mass Effect. I've been shiting on this series even before the Witcher 3 was announced as I'm from Poland and those games were popular here since forever. Poles can be easily triggered mainly because they are "proud of it" and shitting on it take as an attack on them and their country.
Though i usually don't waste my time with shitting on it on 4chan, place full of contrarians anyway. I just lurk those thread to gater some new stuff I will use for triggering people on normie sites. Once i made thread on some forum that lasted for 200 replies and maybe more after i was banned.
I also like to trigger my normie friends and each time they start this game on steam i spam chat saying how horrible it is and they shouldn't play it and how true rpgs like DA:O is superior in every way. Though this one is only our banter.

It's the only shitposting I allow myself to do, since i genuinely fucking hate and despise this series and what it is doing to crpg genere. Even bethesda and bioware games are less devastating. They are shit rpg games but at least rpg games. The Witcher will twist and corrupt this genere into being ass creed clones like normie mobas destroyed rts.

>>382203505
Nobody nowadays is arguing that MGSV is the best game ever, changed their lives, made other games feel lacking etc.
These are all things people constantly say about TW3. At that point it's no surprise that people get so sick of the constant positivity surrounding the game that they start wanting to post about its flaws. I know I've been tempted to do so.

>>382212059
>inventory management

Any game with crafting and weapon upgrades (W3) has even more inventory management than every game on that list you responded to.

Like Monkey Island? No.

>>382212559
No there's a rule against spamming the board with nonstop threads about one game. This wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't making these threads constantly. And I do usually try to ignore them.

I was reluctant to get this game after hating TW2's combat, but I bit the bullet this sale and am so glad I did, it's a fucking dream of a game.

Never played in a world that's felt more alive.

Only thing that gets on my nerves is that one guy who says "And so the shit runs into the sewers, so does the worst scum into Novigrad" everytime you walk past him.

read a fucking book lmao

>Yes it is. You usually have 1-4 dialog options, but with NO variety at all how you deal with things. When you have variety, it's just take the wuest or not.
This is wrong. You always have several ways of tackling a situation through dialogue that would change how it plays out.

>I play on blood and broken bones. The combat is just broken.
Alright, what's broken about it?I had lots of fun with it.

>When this became a good argument? Bethesda gets bashed for having mos fixing things, but Witcher is good when it does the same.
Pointing out that your complaint is a fringe complaint that nobody else complains about.

>Not entirely, barely.
Did you even try it? It removes ALL the wind-up from Geralt's animations. He's accurate and snappy with it.

>Not it isn't, you can't explore the world right away.
After the tutorial section of White Orchard you are literally free to explore the entire world. You'll need money to get to Skellige, but that's it.

>The decisions doesn't affect shit. Even Skyrims ridicolous civil war affects more
Decisions can DRASTICALLY affect the quests taht they happen in. If what you're complaining about is that they don't change EVERYTHING in the game, then yeah, what can I say. It's a big game. Do two playthroughs with different choices and you'll see how differently quests can turn out.

>Waa waa, he want's to play differently than i am playing, it's dumb.
No, you mouth-breathing retard, Witcher was never a "make your own character" RPG, it has an established character who is NOT evil. This isn't a fucking Bethesda game.

>THEN WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ALWAYS COMPARED TO BETHESDAGAMES
Simply because Skyrim is the only other noteworthy medieval-type RPG of this decade. There are no real similarities.

>Still less than 10% of populace.

Why is it his fault that witcher cultists get triggered at the meresight of their game being criticized and start shitting the thread with non answers?

It is beyond clear that witcherfags care about this topic and hold dearly to the previously held consensus that the witcher 3 was some kind of revelation in gaming, and now that the notion is being challenged they jump at anyone who dares to go against that narrative, like the rabid groupthink fanboys they are.

You drudge up your laundry list day after day and trigger the other dumb newfag redditors who ate that shit up while the rest of us groan at your goddamned spam and low effort shitposting. Just because your points are valid does not your shitposting isn't bait. Your act of being an uptight argumentative melvin only enhances your efforts. Everyone is tired of your shit m8. Half the posts are telling you to stop and yet they are all met with your tinfoil namecalling. Everyone who detracts from your shitposting is called a witcherfag and painted as a cdpr cultist and this actually brings out the retard witcherfags and incites them to calling you a nintenbro or whatever, perpetuating the shitposting.

The Witcher 3 was a perfectly accurate representation of the later Witcher novels, wherein Geralt was on a quest looking for Ciri until the old drunken pole got so angry with writing these stories that he just brutally murdered Geralt's whole group of in the span of about 20 pages.

Difficulty settings are cancer.
If the difficulty affects enemy AI and movesets, then why artificially dumb it down?
If it does not, then you go dowm the bulletsponge route.

>>382219603
Actually the difficulty in Witcher 3 doesn't effect enemy behavior, it just effects how quick you level. You level far slower, which is a horrible idea when equipment is attached to level.

As an example of how easy and bad combat is, I played my first time on a higher difficulty setting wanting to get more out of it, but I litterally only died to some drowners because I got impatient before I quit. I completed the Baron quest when the next step in the main quest told me I was 14 levels below what it reccomended for the next quest. I was 14 levels under leveled and I never noticed.

This game has horrendous combat, a boring story, an Ubisoft style open world. This game is just nerd trash.
