Is it good?

The game only gets good when you get to Skellige and the amount of "follow the red Witcher Sense trail" secondary quests die down. This is also why the expansions are great, because they're much more focused. Blood and Wine's final boss is also the only good fight in the game.

yes, don't listen to and , they're just contrarian faggots. enjoy your time user

Yes

The story sucks but the contracts are fun and it the dlc is even better

OP here, how lost will I be without having played the prior games and knowing next to nothing about the universe it takes place in?

The fanbase got really cancerous though

Notice how nu-Yea Forums will now praise it for it's narrative and setting, while also totally disregarding the two previous games.

Witcher 1 is kino.

Not anymore it isn't. The graphical downgrade and frankly awful story made it age like milk.

not very. I played it before playing the others and figured out things pretty well. if you ever have questions, theres a wiki and stuff.

Except you listed fun games while witcher is boring nerd shit

He's not wrong, though. Skyrim offers a lot more versatility in play style and lets you interact with things in the world in a lot more ways. Keep in mind, that doesn't necessarily translate to being a better game overall.

How is W3 an RPG

What roles am I choosing? Its an action/adventure game with a skill tree. Choosing dialogue options does not make a game an RPG, adventure games have been doing this for decades.

Skyrim isn't a good RPG but its a better one than W3 by virtue of actually still allowing the player to role-play in some form through its systems.

Can someone explain why this game still manages to cause unprecedented levels of asshurt four years later?

While the combat isn't good, Witcher's always been very good about characterizing all the different monsters and their strength and weaknesses from a story perspective. It really nails the feeling of being a professional monster Hunter/Curse Breaker.

Rull

The way it works is peculiar.
There's 7 Witcher books before the Witcher games.
The first two are really good and are short stories about Geralt's adventures with a very loose overall narrative that connects everything and builds the world. If nothing else, I'd suggest you read those two first. They set up the basic premise of The Witcher and are not long.
The latter 5 books are a single conventional narrative centered around Ciri, Geralt's adoptive daughter. They're alright. Not really worth the time it takes to read them just for the backstory.
All 3 games take place after the end of the last book, but Witcher 1 and 2 have basically nothing to do with that narrative. It's back to the side stories of Geralt and Ciri is nowhere to be seen.
3 basically picks up where book 7 left off and continues that whole greater narrative. Ciri comes back, and Geralt's canon love interest is back in the story.
It's good, and you can certainly appreciate it from a storytelling perspective, but there's tons of characters that return from the books that have never been seen in the games and Geralt acts like they've got tons of personal history.

>tl;dr - The first two games are the least important things to appreciating the story of 3. Read Books 1/2 (Last Wish and Sword of Destiny), and a summary of the plot of 3-7 if you want the optimal ratio of enjoyment and time efficiency. Then you can jump in.
Or just hop in an enjoy it regardless. It does a decent job of establishing the basics as you go.

I recently got the game on sale and have just finished Hearts of Stone, everyone keeps saying "oh the expansions are great, they're amazing" but i'm getting the feeling it's all just a troll.
One of my friends even said to me "you need to play hearts of stone it's one of the best expansions ever, such a good story". And after completiting i'm sat here in absolute disbeleif. Do you retards actually think the Hearts of Stone expansion was good? Even slightly original? The entire story is so fucking cliché, an cheap imitation of a story that has already been told thousands of times. I knew everything that was going to fucking happen 10 steps before it did in the game, what the fuck is wrong with you all?
I'll be fair and say i haven't played Blood and Wine yet, but holy fuck why do you cunts think hearts of stone is even slightly worth while?

Any fun specc in the vanilla game? I have already tried an igni and axii oriented magic specc and a cat school/alchemy spec and I have gotten tired of both. I am just about to start the heart of stone expansion.

but the armor looks so much better in 3

We know it’s a conventional story you retard, it’s just told flawlessly.

HoS

It's not the fact the story is novel, it's that its a neat quest where you explore a spooky mansion, tangle with otherworldly demons and play riddles with the devil, and the quest has a bunch of endings.

Blood and Wine isn't just one quest, it's a whole region, which is also the best region in the game. So you should at least enjoy that, the plot isn't exactly mind blowing either but it is well done

Yes, I actually just finished the main story the other night. If you like sidequesting and exploring like me it's easily 100+ hours before even touching expansions. As per usual with these games the main quest often feels like a chore, though it's significantly better than, say, Skyrim. Combat is serviceable for a game that prioritizes its RPG over its action. The writing and world is what really makes it shine.

side quests are great in the witcher. everything feels handmade

oh fuck this is bad isn't it?

That one is ok, but most of the others are not functional for a wither and make Geralt look like a jester. What were they thinking??

Aren't most of those "follow the red trail" quests the witcher contracts?

"Pirouette" is literally the word the English transation uses time and time again to describe Geralt's actions in a fight.
He's all about constant motion; spinning both his body and sword and constantly altering his timing to throw people and monsters off their rhythm and whipping his sword into range to hit the spot he wants.

Pretty good as long as you don't max it out.

Vampire Bloodlines Masquerade. Not a better game imo (due to how much of an incomplete mess it is), but it's writing is levels above every single RPG i've ever played.

If you want a safer answer, then pick any oldschool RPG like Planescape for example and the consensus would agree.

Name 20 better written villains right now

>generic devil archetype
>best written character in a video game

Unironially Saren from Mass Effect 1 or the Illusive Man from Mass Effect 2 were better written characters. Unironically the ME trilogy had better writing than the Witcher trilogy.

He is indeed.
Although i must say i was disappointed in his voice in the english version of the game. In my language he has this incredibly smooth voice, very mystifying, exactly like you would imagine the Devil's voice.

witcher 3 is rated very highly, and it's not overrated at all. it's amazing piece of vidya

Really like it but mostly on account of the world, characters and quests. It has a lot of shit that should've been prioritized way more.
>Overused witcher's senses
>Poor item balance
>Alchemy seems like an afterthought as you'll never have to worry about having enough alcohol, flasks etc.
>Quest rewards often being totally fucked like receiving a sword 20 levels below the recommended level of the quest itself
>Outside of the quests, it's basically just bandit camps that fill the map in terms of "content", that CDPR themselves admitted were only added in the final months of development
>Story feels rushed in the final act
>Combat only being "okay" in a potentially 200+ hour long game
>There's often not much incentive to explore anything that isn't marked - the "real" content is the quests and at most you'll stumble upon a bandit camp or some generic loot that doesn't add anything meaningful
>Completely half assed fighting and racing mini games
I still really like it, but there's a lot of shit that could've been handled better.

This but unironically.

Never had the time to go back and do another playthrough, but there are plenty of mods that address a lot of these issues at least partially.

W3EE

I have played Witcher 1 to 3 twice and I have never, once played any gamble minigame ever.

Too bad Detlaff was so autistic. I was interested when Regis described him as being similar to Geralt, but then he just completely spergs out, so sparing his life wasn't really particularly enticing.

Gimme dat carlton fade

For me it was the opposite, during thereplay, I realised how actually repeditive combat is, how much witcher sense is overused and how I am uninterested in Ciri story thought that's subjective.

i think novigrad was meant to be the opposite of comfy. the comfy moment is when you leave novigrad with a ship captain from the inn in the middle of the city and visit skelige, where people are pure and honest and everything is clear and obvious. it was amazing contrast transition, i loved this moment, you leave dirty city full of overly smart people and join the feast in the only place in the world where you're kindly welcomed

When do you actually get to fight Olgierd? I didn't, and i don't even remember making the choice not to.

Absolute snoozefest.
Fetch this, fetch that.
Action is scarce and dialog goes on forever with useless information and non-existing character development.

old game GOOD new game BAD

nope, it's already average-looking

It's possible to fight him once or twice, but not skip him. once outside the burning manor and once in the dream with Iris

Novigrad is great but my heart says Vizima.

Oh yeah i had forgotten that scene outside the manor, damn. I need to replay the expansion, i never knew about this fight.

nope 4d chess user
this, they are actually making it look worse so that when it comes out, we will think it was "uprgraded"

Google Leland Gaunt then shut the fuck up you Witcher drone. There's nothing remarkable about the way he's written and some ltieral who youtuber getting on the Witcher bandwagon won't change that fact faggot

where and when

>tfw getting like 45 fps in the crowded parts of the trade quarter
that engine has not aged well

This is why nobody likes Witcherfags

he is definitely one of the best written villains in video games

I kinda don't like that dialogues are in first-person. Doesn't that limit the cinematography by a fairly large margin? What's the point of keeping first-person perspective in dialogues if your character is voiced anyway?

it was a step down from 2 which was a step down from 1

>Leland Gaunt
First off, this is deep analyze and he mentions Leland Gaunt and other characters involved. Also this guy is Skyrim bandwagon, yet unlike you he can appericate good things in other games.

I give zero fucks about story (I'm fine as long as writing doesn't go full le quirky funny retard like D:OS) and when I play an open world game I want something believable with factions and semi-random shit happening in it on its own, instead of a big theme-park with leveled loot and locations marked on the map.
TW3 was a shit game, unistalled it after 10 hours and feel zero interest in replaying it.

the best

It's pretty ok, the writing is as good as it gets in the industry. If you want the best action game currently then play Sekiro which also has a decent story.

I'm reading all the books before I do another playthrough, currently on Sword of Destiny. Honestly reading the books is kinda disappointing after playing the games. The backstory is neat but CDPR really turned this universe into something amazing.

Molly best girl fite me

here we go...

Read two pages and thought the same. The thing for me was that sapkowski's (or whatever is name is) style of writing isn't great, the guy isn't a literature genius by any mean, so all the efforts he made to build a great world are nullified by the fact that you always feel like you're reading some teenage bullshit. A problem that disappears completely with the storytelling of a video game.

I really enjoyed the short stories.

Switch when?

Witcher 1 plays as offline WoW

don't you dare give me them crones

If the Switch can barely handle BotW, it sure as hell can't handle W3.

The embodiment of the notion of evil. You don't kill him, you just make him refuse payment for one of his many contracts. He is still roaming the world and will ever be.

It's true though, left-click, right-click, left-click, Q, left-click....

>TFW you'll never play W3 for the first time again

Attached: 1515688888253.png (691x653, 27K)

I didn't like the gameplay at all. And i found it buggy and prone to glitches also, which bothered me greatly, especially in the last boss fight the boss glitched out and i could basically hit him without me getting hit because the boss got stuck. And that happened a lot of times where enemies would glitch out and stuff. I didn't like it at all and it's choices and dialogue options were really shallow aswell and who gives a shit about him fucking some virtual girls, oh wow, never seen that before in a video game...

It's highly overrated. Half Life 2 of this generation. Even if HL2 had actual interesting gameplay.

You're thinking of Dark Souls, user.

Im new to the series should I jump straight into this or should I play 1 and 2?

just like you are to your parents you fucking faggot

Attached: 1543114217185.gif (268x325, 1.96M)

It's underrated.

play 1 and 2 and stick through with 1, most people drop the game off in the first chapter (even though the 2nd chapter has some big pacing issues for the first half of it which was when i thought i was gonna drop the game) but it's well worth the playthrough

1 and 2 are great games any if you have any tolerance at all for old clunky PC games you will be fine with them and enjoy them. They do some things even better than 3 though 3 is still the best.

10/10

why is the soundtrack for sekiro so meh tho

you're going to have to do a lot better than that to make me feel ashamed.
