how is he gonna do that? every game he plays will feel like shit in comparison. thats the problem with witcher 3, it kills your enjoyment of video games because you know you will never play a game that good ever again everything will feel mediocre

>>382260993
The Witcher is a bad game with good graphics though. The only stuff I actually enjoyed were some side quests.

>>382262407
Because Gothic 2 is the best example of a good open world design. The Witcher 3's open world design is garbage and anybody who isn't a braindead casual will tell you that.

I know you're retarded and haven't even played the game but Gothic 2 is not medicore at all, it shits on every modern RPG that came out in the past 10 years.

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"

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.

>>382262574
why do gothicfags keep shilling their dead game? at least witcher 3 came out somewhat recently so people naturally talk about it but youre talking about some shit game from 15 years ago

and its almost always in witcher threads because they know the game is too dead to keep a thread alive. i even see you in fallout threads kek

I fucking hate this autism. Every day some retard makes a thread about Witcher 3 and goes "wow why is this game of the decade???!?! why are other games so mediocre??!?!?" and the thread is just a stupid circlejerk or shitflinging between witcher and gothic cucks.

If you really like games and aren't a retard baiting people, you know very well that the statement of The Witcher 3 making everything else feel worse is retarded. Witcher 3 is only one type of game: an open world action-rpg with all your epic morally grey shit and stuff. There are tons of other games that do different stuff and give you different stuff to do, like stealth games, turn based RPGs, platformers, metroidvanias etc. Stop being a retard and actually play games.

You just want more open world action rpg shit? Find similar games to Witcher 3. Sure, they might be worse, but if you truly enjoy the genre, you'll appreciate what they do well unless you decide to play the shittiest open world action rpg ever (Skyrim). Seriously, just stop. You know that it's true, that if you actually love Witcher 3, you can enjoy other games and love them as well, because Witcher 3 isn't perfect. No game is. There is always something that one game will do better and something Witcher 3 will do better.

Stop this nonsense. Just go play some videogames and have fun.

2015 was a great year for games though. Witcher 3 beat out Bloodborne, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, Xenoblade, Dying Light, MGSV, Battlefront, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Undertale, Rocket League and Ori plus a bunch of others. Those games were all well-liked on /v/ and Witcher 3 beat all of them. Nice try.

I actually agree with a lot of this, even though I enjoyed the game overall.

Honestly though, if you liked Witcher 3 you might want to give Gothic a try. Many of the folks over at CDPR are pretty big Gothic fans, and it inspired the Witcher games a great deal.

The Witcher 3 has absolutely nothing in common with Gothic. Gothic has journal, absolutely 0 handholding, and difficult as fuck combat while TW3 has GPS and witcher senses, extreme handholding and barebones easy combat

Hey, it's not the game's fault you chose the "Just The Story" difficulty level

>>382266580
Level difficuilties don't change the combat. On Death March the combat is still the same garbage. Light attack twice, backstep, repeat. Only enemies have more HP which makes it even more boring because it just takes longer to kill them.

>>382266349

Good question. I got 200 hours on my first and only playthrough. Completely immersed myself in the game; it was so fucking comfy. I felt empty after I finished Blood and Wine.

It's not flawless, but I think it's overall the best video game I've ever played.

I'm just trying to do those cucks a favor and save them time because they will finish TW3 and then play Gothic thinking that it's like TW3 and then get fucked by how difficult and challenging the game is and then will come on /v/ crying that the game is shit because the game doesn't solve quests for you or tell you where to go all the time

As someone who has not played any Witcher but is somewhat interested in it: what is the big deal? Is it a well designed game with a lot of options, or does it just have a bunch of quests with well-written characters?

Those counters are shit.

W3 has a pretty basic combat system. I dunno why he's trying to deny that. And why bring up Bethesda games? Being a step above shit doesn't make something good by default.

>>The quest design is made for literal braindead children who can't think for themselves.

So? You've diagnosed the problem, great, but that doesn't change facts: the quest system in W3 is simplistic.
>>The main quest is basically super mario in poland

It's still a game first and foremost. And the fact that Ciri is always "in another castle" is stupid and cheap.
