>>387305289
I had to keep going to see if any interesting gameplay mechanics or missions get introduced, but it never came. The comfyness is enjoyable, but not enough to carry the game on it's back.

>>387305109
its like not everyone is the same

20 hours is basically nothing in this game.

it's not for you

>>387305289

Getting mixed signals here

IT'S FUCKING TERRIBLE.
7/10
I realize that this is just what has this place conditioned to think like, but still, for fuck sake. You DON'T actually have to speak in extremes all the fucking time. It does not have to be FUCKING AWFUL just because it's popular - the superlatives don't have to fucking scale purely on how much attention the game is currently getting.
Is it really that fucking hard to talk and think like a real person, and not just brain-dead carricature of one, purely driven by online "culture"?

I dunno man I just like pretending to be Geralt, hunting monsters for scared towns folk, and I unironically like solving mysteries with my spidy senses.

>>387305109

it was pretty boring and the quests didn't feel like they had very good payoffs
the story was nice but I quit about halfway through just because I couldn't do anymore combat or witcher senses bs

>>387305109

>>387306320
Same here, that's a lot of what carried me through the game. I didn't hate the combat/questing/loot/leveling systems, but they weren't exactly a shining feature of the game. The characters, world, and general writing/design really drew me in and made me want to see it through. until my fucking computer crashed and wiped my saves 90% of the way through but you know what I'm saying

>>387305109
I 100%'d the game with about 170 hours played and agree with you mostly. Gameplay gets stale if you don't mix it up, and the quests, well, it's an open world game so what did you expect. The atmosphere and story telling are top tier kino. Still a 9/10 in my eyes because of all the good times I've had as Geralt.

I played through the whole game and both the DLCs and I'd agree that the game itself is pretty bad.

I had an attachment to the franchise and its story and characters so that's why I enjoyed it though.

The story is not worth it,the first area Velen is basically the best part and that's like a self contained thing.

The story gets progressively worse and more and more pointless until it reaches level of hackery not even Bioware is capable of

this and fallout 4 are virtually the same kind of game, with the only major difference being this is several maps and f4 is one big one

yet f4 gets tons of shit for being “terrible“

try to prove me wrong, i dare you

>>387305109
>7/10 at best
Don't you mean 3/10 ?
Cuz this is what it deserves.

W-WITCHERBROS WHAT HAPPENED

>>387306713
Witcher 3 open world is a lot more immersive, Fallout 4 is tiny and stacked with shit on every step. I prefer the Witcher 3 one because it's the closest thing to a belivable open world there is.

However Fallout 4 was a lot better at actually filling up the open world with interesting loot, monsters, it had a good open ended progression system for an open world.

So Fallout 4 did a lot of stuff right with the open world gameplay design,and Witcher 3 made the best belivable scale open world

>>387305109
the daily witcher hate thread us here good

>>387305109
How far did you get? Name a comparable game that is better so I can mock you.

>>387306713
not true fallout is a tiny world with loadscrreen everytime you open a door

>>387306713
FO4 is just a bad game for too many reasons to count. Witcher 3 is a passable or even a good game despite it's flaws.

>2 years after its release
>still shitposting about it
It's over my man.

>>387306713
I don't give a fuck about muh immersion and muh atmosphere as the other guys so yes, you are correct. The open world is terrible, as are all the other open worlds these days
However, every single sidequest has an insane amount of effort put into it, and the writing is great

>take sides or stay neutral all trough the game
>the epilogue is you going trough the besieged burned down city streets and cellars, where many of the minor characters you met have taken shelter. They all get some sort of small symbolic conclusion. The final battle takes place inside a vision, and you get to reflect on all the decisions and 60 hour adventure you had. In the last five minutes a twist is revealed very subtly and quietly. The game ends on a bittersweet note

>Witcher 3
>the big battle for the city takes place off screen. Nothing you did in the city mattered, only thing that matters is one side quest. The finale is you going trough a corridor in a "cinematic" final battle. The villains last words are "I was hoping you would come". Then he dies.The plot decides it needs to wrap up and not to have Ciri being chased anymore. So all of a sudden she can end the white frost in the biggest asspul ever. They all lived happily ever after. The end

TW3 is one of the most overrated games of all time but Fallout 4 is just outright trash, so comparing the two of them isn't really fair considering TW3 is good.

I really REALLY don't get why /v/ shills TW3 so much. It steps on the exact same rakes Skyrim did and does it while trying to be as Ubisoft as possible. Same checklist exploration, samey quests, lack of roleplay, retarded eagle vision, horrible combat that lacks any challenge even on highest difficulty.
TW3 is like first Stalker. It's a broken unfinished mess that people love because of the atmosphere and because some nobodies made it.

But at least they learned on their mistakes with HoS. Still managed to fuck up B&W though.

I'm really glad /v/ recommended me TW3, it made me appreciate FO4 so much more.

Fun fact. Many characters in FO4 react to you wearing power armor, Silver Shroud outfit or vault suit. Many quests allow you to kill someone you weren't supposed to and quest characters will react to that. NO ONE reacts to Radovid's assassination in TW3. Not even one shitty contract quest allows you to go out of the script CDPR prepared for you. Not to mention FO4 actually made me feel like I explore something instead of relying on baby friendly highlight button.

That way you can enjoy it and just insult the fanbase that they ruined a great game. Good luck anon.

TW3 is prime example of a wasted potential. They made great engine and beautiful world, but couldn't add worthwhile content and good gameplay to it. Story is also shit, Ciri is unlikable Mary Sue and everything after Kaer Morhen feels rushed as fuck. Eredin is a joke. Persona 5 was the same. Starts like GOTY, then slowly degrades into mediocrity.

>>387305109
As long as it's open world, has braindead casual combat, okay graphics and they can follow quest markers in it, normies will eat it up. See also: Skyrim and Fallout 4 which are similarly dogshit games praised to high heaven.

>>387314410
CDPR knew critics only care about muh graphics and big world so they abandoned all substance in favor of those things. It is an empty game in truth. But their tactics worked. The critics fell for it.

Skellige could've (should've) been cut and the game would only end up being better for it. There's nothing to do there, it ruins story pacing, whales are glitchy, most of the territory lacks hand of the designer - you can see that majority of it is just procedurally generated terrain no one bothered to fill with detail. They should've released it as DLC like B&W after they were done actually finishing it.

>>387316589
Skyrim came out at the perfect time. Gaming wasn't yet such a massive thing back then and there weren't really anything like Skyrim.

That doesn't mean it's good, it just released at the perfect time.

Witcher 3 on the other hand came out recently, where there's many games like it but very few are so high quality. Therefore people liking is a better testament to it's quality compared to people liking Skyrim back in 2011.

>>387316858
Nice argument, retard.

No matter how floaty Skyrim's combat is, at least it doesn't have input delay and randomized animations with completely different timings. Not to mention blocking actually takes basic reactions instead of endlessly spamming sidestep button that makes you invincible in TW3. Sorry your favorite slav overlords can't make fun combat or decent audio system for 3 fucking games.

>>387317026

Just like Witcher 3. Zero competition from western devs. This was all there was to play for almost half a year. The marketing consisting of fake trailers also sent the hype machine into overdrive.

I find it funny how witchershills jumped on reviewer cocks so fast when they spent years whining about their Bethesda bias. CDPR made a pretty movie game for people who hate games and got applauded for that. It's like Uncharted 4 all over again.

Bloodborne (allegedly) has better combat. But /v/'s too autistic to realize that there are tons of games with better combat than all of those. Few of which are getting their dick sucked because there's more to a games enjoyably than just combat.

Knowing when to attack and dodge requires skill. It's not as simple as you make it sound, unless you took the Frenzy skill and remembered to drunk your potions. And even then some enemies like the devourers kill you instantly with their suicide explosion.

Honest hint: Get lost in sidequests. Yes, the main quest was boring as fuck, the sidequests really saved it. Oh, and the DLC. Like, get Blood and Wine and play that. The original game is so fucking dreary that Blood and Wine really livened it up with the much nicer looking map.

I have 900 hours across 5 playthroughs and even I will tell you they completely blew it with the ciri/wildhunt endgame plot. The dip in quality of the quest pacing and writing can only lead me to believe that that part of the game was rushed out to meet the release date.

Hearts of Stone made up for it in spades though and Blood and Wine was truly a loveletter to the Witcher universe and fanbase.

Agreed, the endgame was by far the weakest part of the game. I much preferred the more episodic main quests like the way the Bloody Baron and Witches tied in together.

>>387326806
It's not just the endgame, the entire game was badly written. Even if the Blood Baron quest-line was good on it's own it was tied into the main story in an extremely convoluted and dumb way. And Novigrad didn't even have a good standalone story it was just random events that you were in that didn't tie in any way and didn't introduce or develop any characters.

The writing in Blood and Wine was arguably worse than the main game.

And Hearts of Stone is just a collection of setpieces tied around old polish folkore story. The ending of Hearts of Stone was just as stupid and unsatisfying as the main game

its an okay game i dont really know what your scale is but the way you describe a seven sounds like my 4 (what i would label as a subjectively bad game). for me 5 is the the average game.


i got like 40 hours in. there were parts of the game i liked. the story was really good, but the the "craft" system felt haphazard and the combat was loose and redundant. i would put it somewhere between a 6 and 7 which is "pretty good"/"enjoyable for some time" but i also don't see the hype.

daily reminder that going swordsman with the alchemy perk that adds % damage per toxicity point is the easiest, least annoying way to go. just take any concoction that gives you 70+ toxicity on tough fights and unupgraded Quen sign for general use then youre set

Climax of the game is fight against Wild Hunt at Skellige. I guess KM was supposed to be climax before they decided to put 2 games into one as rumored, but it's really not when there's still a whole third of the story after that.

This is the chain of thought of the retards who wrote the game

None of this shit fits together into a whole. There were no characters and no story. Menge gets introduced and in the next scene he's killed off. Whoreson gets intoroduced and in the same scene he's killed off. The only development he got is that he likes to decorate the house with dead whores so you have a reason kill him, how "morally gray".

The only character who was relevant was Djikstra, he was setup as extremely intellegent and sly but went full retard and commited suicide by the end of the game

>>387329341
>that was worse than witcher senses and you know it
No, because it only highlighted items when you needed them. You didn't have to rely on it at all times to complete 90% of quests in the game.

>>387329589
>None of this shit fits together into a whole. There were no characters and no story.
That's because you aren't even describing the main Novigrad questline. You seem to have mixed in parts of it with random side quests that also take place in the city.

The storyline is extremely simple. You're in Novigrad to find Dandelion because he's seen Ciri. You discover the witch hunters have taken him and so you team up with Triss and her underworld contacts in an effort to find him. This pits you against the aforementioned witch hunters as well as a local crimelord.

There's nothing incoherent, here. If you are having trouble following this story thread, you might actually be retarded.

>>387329768
yeah, and the reach was fucking terrible so you needed to keep using every 3 steps

>>387329959
And? You used the pulse to find usable items, that's all, there was even a long cooldown for it so players would be discouraged from relying on it too much and encouraged to use their eyes and exploration skills instead. TW3 does a direct 180 and goes full hand-holding with them, forcing players to rely on highlighting at all times. You can't even examine quest items and prints until you highlight them first. The system was made with retards in mind.

That's really about it, but the idea honestly offends me a bit. For all their faults Bethesda games always do exploration right. You have to actually look around and rely in your own senses to find reward, no matter how shitty it is, you can't just press a magic button and all the hidden loot becomes visible to you. Morrowind and FO4 especially, it's very easy to miss out on cool shit there if you don't look around properly. But TW3 managed to casualize even that, which makes you wonder if people who like Skyrim even like it for the reasons TES fans like the series.

Except it does and I already explained why, learn to read. Seems like you've been relying so much on witcher senses you forgot how to do even that.

I don't understand this engine.
I can run the game pretty well but whenever there's a click through cutscreen my fans fire up and my pc wants to melt.
You would think that running around in the wilderness and cities would be more demanding than scripted events but outside of the scenes my computer doesn't sound like a jet plane, only inside it does.

What makes Witcher 3's open world so great for you? The only thing that impressed me was the nature and the atmosphere of cities and peasant villages. The only dungeons in the game were elven ruins with lineair corridors which contained copy pasted enemies and some scripted segments for quests. The side quests were just "use your witcher senses and wait for detective Geralt to say something then fight a monster". All the "points of interest" were just copy pasted bandit camps or monster nests that needed to be cleared out.

The point I'm trying to make here is that Witcher 3 has pretty barebones sandbox gameplay for an open world game. It's like you're in a themepark but you're not allowed to enter any rollercoasters; the devs only allow you to do what they want you to do.

>>387335258
>there's always a twist
See, this is exactly the problem I have with TW3 quests. There's ALWAYS a twist. When every story you do has a twist at the end, it becomes predictable, you realize that at the end something will always go wrong and that ruins the whole thing. Like Shamalamanam's movies.

anon, that's basically the gist of the criticism, ignoring all the good things witcher 3 does story wise and just shitposting about the rest.

>>387336542
Yet it's the MAIN story that TW3 tells and it's about fate of the fucking world no less.
>if you don't like something I do you're autistic and I won't talk to you lalalala can't hear you
Pfffhahahaha, is this nigger serious?

hang yourself

The first game is a lot, lot better written.

It actually feels like it's written by actual writers who knows such concepts as structure or pacing.

Who would win in a duel to the death
Geralt of Rivia vs Elric of Melniboné

The world is huge and brimming with well thought out quests, and the game stays coherent and true to the setting no matter what, makes the world feel that much more immersive.
Everything has a story and there's always a depper meaning if you look into it, from the problems of a lowly peasants to emperors hidden agendas.
Can't say I agree with your complains, it's like we're playing a different game. Reminds me of that one time when Yahtzee complained about fetch quests in Witcher 1.

The story it tells is trash so that's fucking stupid of you to say.

You're a goddamn retard. There's a lore breaking mini-game introduced in the first five minutes.

No it doesn't...there are plotholes, inconsistencies, it retcons the very essence of the book saga, not to mention the game ignores the choices in previous games

Wow a magical cardgame, there goes my suspension of disbelief.

>>387337526
>The world is huge

and empty

>>387338039
It's not a magical card game you dumb fuck, it looks like something 2010s nerds would play in their basement, it looks like it came from a modern printer, not to mention it's only populated with niche characters from Geralts adventures

>Daamn dudu don't show me what Ciri looks like I don't want to know
>have a fucking Ciri card for 20 hours

Game is obviously not even close to being perfect but it's extremely good in my eyes. Ten times better than any Bethesda modern trash that's for sure.

>>387338268
It's a minigame that's fun to play,Triple Triad but with bitcher characters. Stuff like this doesn't put me off at all.

You're right.
Everything people complain about in Fallout 4 is worse in Witcher 3. Then again they are impressionable children who get their opinions off e-celebs and Reddit so I can't blame them.

Two years after release and still causing immense butthurt from both sides like they were still debating GOTY.
