Question

I've been wanting to play this game for a while...

Anthony Perry

I've been wanting to play this game for a while, but I keep holding off because everyone says the combat is genuinely terrible. Is it actually bad or is it just a meme to discredit a game that was critically acclaimed and popular?

its serviceable. with the right sign upgrades and on the right difficulty it can be pretty flashy and fun too.the problem is since its a long game it's pretty barebones until you level, i think thats why everyone complains about the combat

I found it boring. The minute I get to the first town and I was asked to go on fetch quests and "go here kill x come back" type shit I dropped it. The Witcher is a cool character and the world looks neat but I'm not doing that kind of stuff ever again.

It's okay. Not bad but not great either. Can get a bit tedious but it's an alright gameplay vehicle and it doesn't affect things that really make this game: the world and characters. If you can stand it, play with Enhanced Edition mod, it improves the experience.

It's in the same way something like Elder Scrolls has inherently "bad" combat. The combat is average overall, with simplistic mechanics and leveling systems that do little to vary how you consistently tackle combat. The actual issue is that the game, just like Elder Scrolls, can become a 60-90+ hour endeavor. Average combat after that much time either becomes a chore or outright disliked due to the repetition.

But again, like Elder Scrolls, you don't play The Witcher 3 for the core combat. You play it for the exploration, story, characters, side quests, and atmosphere. And to its credit, The Witcher 3 does have things like potions, bombs, signs, new sword attacks, and other mechanics unlocked through progression which maintain basic goals for becoming stronger in combat.

So just try it. If you can put up with other 60+ hour open world games with serviceable combat, you can easily play and enjoy TW3.

it's terrible compared to action games, but better than most rpgs

It's definetly not the best but it's not terrible. It has this thing when instead of being hit you get slid backwards. Doesn't happen too often though.

Can you stomach your average movie-wannabe casualized western shit? Then you'll be able to play it.

You literally can just youtube this game without losing anything from the experience though. The game never lets you think by yourself, everything is fed straight to your throat. The entire adventure consists of the game holding your hand like a baby so you go from point A to B killing braindead clunky AI to watch more cutscenes. The writing is great though.

install enhanced edition mod
pretty hard at first but you can change some sliders until you get the hang of it, also fixes the clutter looting and more neat stuff
