Well that is mostly because you only consider basic twitch and button mashing to be good gameplay, while RPG's are based around mechanics usually don't manifest in immediate twitch-skill exercise.

Seriously, fuck the generation of console-raised kiddies who think if it's not testing your button mashing skills it's not "gameplay".

Witcher 3 is also pretty much a button masher, the only difference is that the mashing is done in a slower pace.

>Bethesda games have that excuse.
Actually, Bethesda games DON'T have that excuse. New Vegas or original Fallouts or Arcanum or Gothic or many other games do. Bethesda has not been providing anything of substance in deeper level mechanics at all.

As for Witcher 3, all of it's flaws are being MASSIVELY overstated. It's not an amazing game, functional at best. There is little to no input lag unless you are running it on machine that can't handle it. The combat is simple and lacks in greater progression: something interestingly enough not caused so much by the combat system itself, but rather in lack of variety of enemy combat patterns: something the expansions actually proved... It's functional. Serviceable. Basic action game stuff. Definitely not something to write home about, but not something that in any way actually breaks the experience. It's biggest flaw is the fact that it just does not offer enough variety or growth for a game that takes around 120+ hours to complete: the combat system depth is just poorly suited to the game's length.

>>384119612
Hardly done at a slower pace. Actually TW3 is slightly more spastic than say, Dark Souls. That is not a positive thing: just a pratical observation.
That said, yeah. I was more commenting on the attitude towards RPG's (NV being mentioned in particular). TW3 is barely one: it's an action RPG with big emphasis on the action element of it.

>>384119716
You are comparing basic multiplayer casual game to classic RPG and that leads to the conclusion that RPG's are bad. Because they aren't casual PvP multiplayer game? Really?

Also, are you trying to make me feel bad for not being retard? Because that is not generally going to work.

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.

The level up and progression system was super shit as well. The perks are boring as hell, so the only incentive of leveling up is getting better equipment which has bigger numbers on it. It also makes no fucking sense that Geralt, an almost centenarian professional monster hunter, has to level up to not get his shit pushed in by drowners that just happen to exist in a higher-level area than the drowners in the starting zone.

>combat is linear and boring
TW3 isn't a hard game, but pumping up the difficulty means you have to actually use all your gear to be effective.
Spamming x through the whole game and only using quen/igni is boring, yes.

Exploring is absolutely rewarding as it leads to new gear and equipment.
You play geralt, the level of customisation in armour, hair and beard is absolutely plenty.

Quest lines are repetitive because they're based on the mechanics, if you're calling TW3 quests repetitive then surely by definition countless games are repetitive since you're just doing the same shit on a different backdrop or with a new context.

The witcher sense is a bit overused but it makes sense and I'd take it over the standard "go here" or "let me mark that on your map" stuff.

TW3 isn't a perfect game but people who say it's shit are retards.
If it was the bog-standard of open world RPGs things would be a lot better.

>>384125175
The biggest difference though is that Skyrim is shit at it's very core and can't be fixed with mods, while Witcher 3 has plenty going on and (most) big flaws can easily be fixed.

It's like with Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. Both can be extensively modded but New Vegas is still much, much better due to writing and overall game design philosophy.

>>384124987
>Exploring is absolutely rewarding as it leads to new gear and equipment
You mean gear and equipment that's worse than what you currently have especially if you already have witcher gear. And please, killing a red skull monster for hours just to get a shitty armor and some materials that immediately gets sold off isn't my idea of rewarding.
>You play geralt, the level of customisation in armour, hair and beard is absolutely plenty.
You have the same options for hair and beard as in W2. I doubt there's any customization of armor in the game, unless you count mixing and matching sets which is stupid since the only armor and weapons you need is whatever witcher gear you want.
>The witcher sense is a bit overused but it makes sense and I'd take it over the standard "go here" or "let me mark that on your map" stuff.
I know you can turn off witcher sense markers appearing in the map but every quest is still marked in your map. There isn't really much of a difference between witcher sense and marking important objects in the area.

neo-/v/ bitches about how "cinematic experiences" are ruining video games, unaware that games like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 4, Grim Fandango, and Planescape Torment massively predate their own age.

>playing the game
Playing a game is more just button mashing. People play RPGs to experience a world, which is why no one cares if a Platformer or Fighting game has a shit story. You don't need to give a shit about the characters to enjoy Street Fighter but without that no one would care about Final Fantasy 7, one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. But of course neo-/v/ thinks that this is something new and unique since Witcher 3 is shiny and new; GOTY two years ago was a learning experience.

the fact that you say exploring is worth it is enough to completely disregard your opinion on anything and everything you will ever say. witcher 3 has about the worst implementation of itemization and exploration rewards there are in any rpg ever. everything you find is some copy pasted sword that looks slightly different but is worse than what you already have.

Because video games are an interactive medium where gameplay (should) be a reward in and of itself. If you don't care about the gameplay and just want to get to the cutscene at the end then go watch a movie instead. That way you'll get your "reward" and people who care about playing their video games get theirs and won't have to shift through hundreds of cinematic experiences.

Quest on Witcher are totally not repetitive. I never felt i was on an errand except with the contracts and those are not missleading at all. It´s kill a monster, get money plus a monster head with nice buffs.

Some secondary quest have narrations and twists that put games of the level of Dragon Age to shame.

AND exploration is pretty rewarding. More than crafting even at some times. I´ve found pretty good gear around.

I have eyes. A good PC and PS4 are not even comparable visually. You don't realize how badly the camera is slowing down on the PS4 until you see it work properly. The coties have more NPCs, the draw distance is farther, the grass is denser, the effects are better. Youre delusional of you think a PS4 can keep up.

And the load times for everything (menus, etc) are about 4x as fast.

You need to look at it as a piece of entertainment and not necessarily as a game.

You will find that nobody is really praising or talking about the gameplay, because it's trivial.
On the other hand, there are tons of people discussing the characters and plot etc.

The only problem about it is people, journalists and the devs being dishonest about it and not calling it a visual novel with rpg elements from the beginning.

Witcher 3 is a game of almost zero substance. Its whole game design is about doing everything and doing everything mediocre. You can choose dialouge choices? Most of the time it boils down to humble Geralt or sarcastic Geralt. You can ride a horse in an open-world? Horse riding controls like shit and the world doesn't feel rewarding enough to roam around in, like say Red Dead Redemption. Not to mention that exploration just boils down to using Witcher sense for extreme handholding because CDPR can't risk anyone not winning instantly in their games.

You can partake in combat? Said combat is not only awfully balanced, the sense of impact and control is completely gone because CDPR are hacks who think fancy animations should take priority over actual videogame mechanics.

You can customize and shit like an RPG? Customization and freedom is barely more than that of an average action game with skill unlocks. It's not even an RPG, it's just a bad action game.

You play it for the story? The story is rushed and the climax is shit and your choices have little consequences in the grand scheme of things. You might aswell just have watched it on Youtube.

Witcher 3 does a lot of things. Nobody can deny this. Yet nobody can claim it excels in any of those areas. It's a soulless carefully focus-tested game made to reflect the state of the industry. There is no artistic talent behind CDPR's game design. It was cynical and solely made to reflect that of other western AAAs. That's it. That's the truth of Witcher 3.

I'll bite and give some tips rather than an explanation as to why I enjoy the combat in this game.

This is a game where I have to say you need to play it the right way. Now there is a learning curve, and you need to get adjusted to the way the combat work, slow down, read the bestiary, and use ALL of your tools, oil your sword, drink the right potions, crossbow/aard flying monsters out of the air and use spells to their weakness.

For me, it feels best with a 360 gamepad instead of keyboard and mouse. And I'd strongly recommend setting movement to alternative in the options menu (smooths out some of the inertia), especially if you consider his movement too floaty to begin with. Next; don't roll around like a clown in every fight, dodge instead it is much more effective and lets you stay close in order to deal the next blow faster. And for some monsters and damn near every human try blocking just before they hit to do a counter-attack, hell even this dudebro guy got the hang of it after a bit of whining:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Q6EqKnKPk

Do this on an easier difficulty until you get the hang of it, then move on to deathmarch so it doesn't become a too much of a breeze, and consider turning on the enemy level scale thing.

Buzzword. Not to mention that weaboo slashers are not even RPG's, so comparing them with Witcher is just dumb. Magic system is indeed something that looks nice in Dragon Smegma, but looking nice doesn't equal good gameplay. In terms of mechanics, controls and general usability, anything 3D designed for console will be an unplayable garbage. Either clunky, or so casual, that no one but turd gobblers will find it enjoyable. Both Smegma and Bitcher fall into "hardly playable" category.

We get it. The PS4 is a good deal for you since you can't afford a decent computer and you HATE the idea that those people who can experience better graphics, higher frame rates and lower load times.

Let's do this with dark souls.
Roll, decide what attack out of 2 or more, maybe block, maybe parry, maybe guard break. Manage stamina, manage limited healing, figure out how to beat enemies by yourself, typically have multiple ways to beat them, actually not able to do most things in the beginning and have to learn them first, can't do everything at the same time, think about what armor to wear, think about which weapons to use and the differences between the movesets of the weapons.

yeah totally just as dumb as op geraud farting fire out of his ass while left click spamming the same attack from the same weapons for 50 hours (other 50 hours is cutscenes) with infinite stamina and operating his crossbow with his dick

Aside of that I'm curious why PC fanboys need urge to justify their system everywhere, lying about capabilites and using broken arguments like Witcher 3 console low settings or 250$ PC console killer. Try them asking for proof/source of those hot news and it's just "u poor, u retarded". Why they are doing this? Inferiority complex is best answer I can think about.

the game only attracts shitposters and the occasional few that are still willing to refute the shitposting
most people (like me) just don't bother replying or when they reply, the shitposters just ignore what you say and never reply back (which happened twice in this thread already)

pre-w3 /v/ was the most rabid defender of CDPR and the Witcher you could find on the internet. Threads were massively comfy, and for some time after the release of TW3 they were still comfy. But with anything that gains massive popularity, it just goes to shit real fast because all the morons come flying in.

official witcher 3 review.

all non-quest related things you can find on the world are copy paste boring shit
no one will talk to you unless they are quest related and you have the quest that requires them
awful ui made for consoles and only 2 consumable slots, making alch spec a chore
no resource management, you just instantly get all your potions back for whats essentiallly free
enemys have 1, maybe 2, attack that they repeat over and over, making fights absolutely boring after an hour
level system only works to the games detriment, as youll quickly outlevel everything you have to do and it will all be easier than the game already is
coming across a SKULL WARNING SIGN monster should be exciting but it's not, because you know it fights exactly the same as all the others of its kind, only with more hp.
"cinematic" controls that ignore accuracy in favor of looking more natural
even death march is easy as fuck due to a lack of enemy attack variety and every ability you can spec into being way too strong
ciri sections are boring and unneeded and only serve to rob you of what could have been the one interesting boss fight in the game.
the final moments of the story seem rushed as fuck, from oh hi crones now we fight, to im eredin i have a secret, im dying my secret is this guy tricked us and i had no plan to deal with it, to oh actually geralt i didnt trick you
majority of loot is randomized and scales to your level. Nothing you find really excites you.
all enemies have an extremely short tether that you will cross unintentionally more often than not. At this point they ignore you and start walking back to the center of the area or hang around to get hit easily
witcher senses are only ever used when the quest requires it and is just hold right click to follow quest arrow. you cant actually track monsters or anything out in the world(and why would you need to? theyre all tethered to a small location and never move away)

6/10 game. Had potential, wasted it.
>>
>people like Souls combat
>they hate Witcher 3 combat

They're so similar though. What gives?
>>
>>384149935
I mean, you've been spewing outright lies this whole thread saying the PS4 version can hold up to the PC version. In reality 350 GBP PC (in 2015) was comparable to the PS4 version (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-budget-gaming-pc-guide) at identical settings.

So yeah, TW3 PS4 isn't low settings but it's mostly medium. You've gotten absolutely assblasted over the very idea that a cheap PC could beat a PS4 version but it can. And even a midline PC blows that shit out of the water.

>They're so similar though. What gives?
They're only superficially similar. I love both games but TW3 combat feels more repetitive due to repetition of enemy attack motions, mostly similar sized monsters, lack of character depth in customizing how you attack and many other reasons.

TW3 is a great game but the combat is serviceable.

On a side note all these anons are being fucking retarded knocking TW3 for it's combat. Name 1 game that does everything perfectly. There are none. Every good game excels in some areas at the expense of others.

I don't think that's fair. Combat is a big part of gameplay and some people value gameplay more than you do.

It doesn't make W3 objectively shit, but it does make it subjectively shit.

The witcher 3:
>Roll
You can roll and dodge.
>Two attacks or more
Light attack, strong attack, hold X for continuous, bombs, signs, crossbow.
>Block
You can block.
>Parry
More or less check, if you time your block you do a counter attack
>Guard brake
Well if you wail at someones shield long enough I guess or aard them.
>Stamina
There is stamina in W3 but fair enough, don't have to manage it as much as DS.
>Manage limited healing
Only because you can stack up on food so I'll give you that one too but potions aren't limitless during combat.
>Figure out ways to beat enemies yourself
You can do that.
>actually not able to do most things in the beginning and have to learn them first
You try and play on Death March and see if you can just stroll around everywhere like you're king of the earth.
>can't do everything at the same time
What?
>think about what armor to wear
Bullshit, armor is the least important thing next to fucking resistance, only in thing possibly important is poise.
>think about which weapons to use
They all have their own unique animations for different playstyles I'll give you that, but getting better steel/silver swords is very important too.

But I already know there will just be more strawman coming this way.
>>
>>384151956
Sure, they're free to dislike the game. I should have specified that I meant more the fact that people are arguing it shouldn't have won any awards because of its combat system.

I mean, ever souls game ever has pretty great combat and atmosphere but not much story and they're fairly linear. All elder scrolls and new fallout games have shit combat. All the old isometric RPGs and turn-based stuff have old or dated combat systems. Breath of the wild has a great exploration system but mediocre to decent combat and a dogshit story.

No game is perfect, saying something with universal acclaim shouldn't have won awards because of one aspect you don't like is dumb. I can't believe there are still people ass-blasted about 2015. Bloodborne and TW3 were the best games that year, who cares which won GOTY?

Look at this faggot rewriting history. /v/ was defending CDPR, creating the "friendly gaming corporation" meme on the first place. But then the bastards sold out, and controversies started flying one by one. W3 downgrade was revealed before the game was even released, and that was the last straw.

CDPR became jews somewhere in late 2014 here. But now filthy newfags gonna tell me how /v/ always loved Witcher 3. It was shat on until scum from Reddit started their typical fanboyism, with vibes from old "friendly corporation" meme stolen from here, and after an extremely expensive (around 50 million dollars in marketing) campaign, the game got GOTY, and moronic casuals started praising it left and right.

The biggest proof i have is my own memory, where Witcher 3 was getting nothing but shit, the entire catalog was covered in pictures such as these, the entire downgrade scandal got so huge, that devs started denying everything they said. And out of a sudden game gets released, and month after month the negative outlook changes for blind praise. After getting GOTY, with the influx of newfags, i started seeing more and more shilling posts about how it's a masterpiece, which clearly looked like they are not from here. Most of the people who hold high opinion on W3 are outsiders, a general audience of Reddit, Facebook and Neogaf tier consumers. And now they come here in bulk, trying to accuse locals of "being contrarian"

Fuck off to where you crawled of.
>>
>>384153990
>that devs started denying everything they said.
Your memory betrays you. The devs didn't deny anything they said, in fact I distinctively remember a post on the CDPR forums where the CM, like 2 months before release, said "you can get those graphics in the PC version".

Despite the immense shitposting that "muh downgrade" attracted, you STILL had good witcher threads around that time everytime americans/canadians/australians went to sleep.

They lied through their teeth over and over again. When asked if there was a downgrade, they said no, despite clear evidence, finally admitting it only after the marketing campaign ended, the game got released and they got the money.

And no, you couldn't get those graphics in the PC version, because all they showed were either pre-renders or bullshots. They all lied about completely reworking interface for the PC, since it was criticized since W2 became dumbed down and consolized, yet in the end they remade it completely from what they originally showed, using the same console interface in the PC version, and it turned out to have even less usability than what W2 had.

The "Batman\AssCreed" vision was the main point why gameplay is garbage. Also everyone admitted that combat is terrible even in comparison to W2. And the lifeless openworld was met with "we want Skyrim audience" ever since it was announced that the game will be openworld.

All of those are good things because it gives FF an identity. W3 has no identity, it's just generic medieval fantasty.

>literally game named "The Wild Hunt"
>presence throughout the first and the second game
>knows Geralt personally and traveled with him for years
>nothing about the wild hunt myth is in the game, too lazy to make flying spectre army, too lazy to make a ghost ship
>literally has 10 fucking lines edgy in the entire game
>at one moment he just looks in the camera and makes an evil laugh
>meanwhile you do nothing of consequence trough 95% of the game and what little interesting things there were, were completely ruined by the rushed fucking ending, you just walk in and kill the crones, you settle the skelige shit by just walking in and killing Lugos, and the smartest character in the game goes full retard and the end of the game and just walks in for you to kill him

This was the worst fucking villain in any video game ever, made even worse that he was supposed to be the villain of the entire trilogy. The writers responsible should be taken behind a ditch and shot. Fuck you if you like this pile of shit you have no fucking brain

There are so many posts, including the ones they made on their own forums, which were deleted later on, where they were lying it's not even funny. Not to mention their retarded marketing attempt to save face and maintain the 'good corporation' title by gifting 16 day one free DLC's.

Witcher 3 is an abortion of marketing.

do you really think those people care about the actual finished product's quality? They're marketers, for fuck's sake. I swear to God, the retardation of this board is fucking insane these days
>>
>>384158175
Game having amazing writing was one of their strongest selling points and a huge part in the marketing campaign. They don't care about the quality, but they will shill and deny everything that makes the game look bad in the eyes of the consumers.

Stop embarrassing yourself and leave, asshole. Whenever someone is called a marketer here, it implies that he's shilling. You don't need to proceed and tell that person what the word marketing means, since he correctly used it just now. Shitposting cunts must be shot.
>>
>>384152739
even if people could do all those things, it's not necessary since left click spam is sufficient, in fact the player will lose on harder difficulty if he doesn't spam

No shit, you nigger. What's the point of being this mad about marketers trying to salvage what's good in the fucking product? It's what they're made for and NO ONE should expect better from those lying cunts.
>>
>>384159374

As someone who completed the whole game on Death March, that's just totally false. Stuff like that will get you killed, unless you're so overleveled and/or have mastercrafted armor.
>>
>>384159775
How about you go back to the shithole your walked out of and lurk more before asking questions that retarded? It's not like people are fighting real marketers in those threads, it's just a straight to the point insult, which can be understood even by those who don't know what the word 'shill' means.

I saw a friend play some of W3 and the dialogue in the scene was very modern, tongue-in-cheek, snarky humor. Specifically it was that scene of two people fucking on a unicorn.
I hate that style of writing, where everyone just snarks at each other and no one says anything with legitimate emotion until the end of the game, but what's the fucking point if you're not attached to these characters since all they've done the whole game is act as mouthpieces for quipy dialogue.
Is the whole game like that, or did I catch a bad scene? If not I might get it next time it's on sale.
>>
>>384160918
Tbh, that's how most vidya dialogue looks like, artificial. And if you mean the cynical humor and lack of emotions when it comes to Geralt, it's the style of the series, plus it's what sells among youngsters these days. You know, the social media generation, who are boring autists in real life, without even basic communication skills, who can't wipe their own arse, so they take joy in media where a protagonist is a badass who spouts cheeky cunt oneliners. Makes them feel like twisted fucking psychopaths i bet.

You didn't even play the game you fucking retard
>>
>>384168673
The fact that its completely pointless
Witcher gear wins loot that is 10 levels higher, and witcher gear is gotten from linear, notice board-tier quests anyway. There is zero reason to explore when the rewards for exploring or liberating bandit camps only gets you shitty steel swords and other junk

>>384169284
Explain how that sentence is wrong then, instead of using the same bullshit copout you shills always throw out

Because the white frost doesn't just decide to conveniently appear like that retard mentions, it's literally stated CIri and Avallac'h open a portal to it by choice

I like the concept.

But there's just nothing particularly fun to me about The Witcher 3.

The combat feels uninteresting.
Rolling around everywhere, mashing a light or heavy attack button.

The rpg mechanics are lame.
+5% damage to X
+3% chance of Y
no character creation

The world looks pretty at a glance but there's really not much going on in the art direction.
city and towns look neat from afar but are actually pretty boring

i don't give a shit about the story because it's based on some novels as well as previous games
Geralt might be interesting but I'm not really creating my own adventure, I'm going through his

There's just no depth to any of it for me.
It feels sort of like Game of Thrones to me tonally.
There's a mixture of sexyness and violence to it that feels kind of shallow and porny to me, even if the presentation is nice.

Something like BotW is equally shallow and wide but also doesn't carry any sort of pretense of depth, and ultimately has a lot more environmental interactivity.

I'll never understand what everybody shat their pants about over Witcher 3.
>>
>>384169394
yeah, that was a problem in witcher 1 as well
but witcher gear should be stronger than everything else, since this is a witcher game after all.
