Witcher 3

It will get game of the decade for sure.

Does the first part of the game represents its quality as a whole or is it particularly bad and then it gets really good?
I really want to play the whole thing and see if it's as good as everyone says it is but that shit made me drop it and not want to touch it again.

White Orchard is the worst part of the game by far, gets much more interesting afterwards.

We don't want you playing it, just play Assassin's Creed Odyssey instead.

Yeah, game fucking sucks, it's just Bam Ham combat complete with shitty Detective Vision quest design. The story's fine but at just watch the cutscenes on Youtube

Its a terrible movie game where the gameplay is dumbed down and designed for low iq retards.

Yeah, of course I will play a better game

It won more GOTY's than any game in history. Even its DLC won GOTY awards.

No what you're thinking of Is red dead 2 fortnite autoaim edition where your horse hates your guts.

The Witcher is actually decent in that regard.

Yeah yeah every game ever is shit especially AAA goty winners we know the drill memes are reality and it's generic boring blah blah blah you're cool and your taste is supreme

I hardly ever rode the horse.

The horse riding is fucking cancer, like some shit from some 20 years old game.

im finally starting a second playthrough. its really good still. the world building is top notch and thats really why the game is as good as it is.

YOURE ALL GAY FAGGOTS IN THIS THREAD ANYWAYS VIDEOGAMES ARE FUN

The game intentionally sets you in an uglier part of the map full of swamps and playing a scarrier and darker part of the story.
After that it feels like you unlocked all the cool shit in big city Novigrad and travel destination Skellige. The DLCs go even further with this in picturesque Toussaint.
Imo it's pretty thoughtful game design reminiscent of those old games where you need to progress to unlock the cooler locations. I hope they pursue this thing with Cyberpunk, so you start in the suburbs or the Underground and work your way to the more impressive districts of Night City. And then a DLC for a completely different city or something.

I think red dead 2 really dropped the ball in that regard, because it gives you this massive open world where instead of progressing to unlock it you go from
>bum fuck camp
>affluent family's mansion
>bum fuck camp
And you never get to own anything in Saint Denis. You also completely miss out on the Wild West because they didn't put anything there to incentivise you to go.

I thought the whole game was going to be shitty swamps and rundown villages with a few cool cities spread around so knowing that's not the case is great.

GODS I WAS STRONG THEN

They are all bum fuck camps. Only Arthur, Dutch and Hosea live inside the mansion and its rundown as fuck.
The quality of the camps doesn't change that much but their comfiness does decrease as you progress the story.
The first two camps are really fucking nice and then you move to the shitty mansion in the swamp and later on to the entrance of the cannibal rape cave.

At first you're going to hate white orchard because it's so shitty and punishing. Then you'll stick around in the big and relevant parts of the map for the story. After that you're going to want to revisit white orchard because of the atmospheric side quests and hostiles. It's like a completely different aspect of the game.

I have a feeling that this game went completely over most shitposters heads. Did any of you even read the notes,letters and books you picked up? there were thousands of short stories, contextual explanations and honestly good written humor in there

"The real test of whether you’re invested in a game’s lore is the journal. Do you click through each of the entries just to make that “hey, you haven’t seen this yet!” exclamation point goes away?"

I'm sorry that you saw every quest as "kill x drowners" because some copypasta was spread around before you played the game, but this was legitimately GOTY 2015 and 2016 and it has earned all of its praise

only good character

If you're talking about the nature I agree.
But wouldn't it have been so much better if when Arthur tells the women to sort out the mansion and make it livable they actually gave you the fucking option to customize, clean up, repell the alligators and most of all KEEP the god damn mansion at the very end. I get the camp is a symbol that reflects the story, but god it was such a tedious anti-gamer mechanic. You can't customize it, you always move so the upgrades don't count for shit, it forces you to slowly walk, you can't choose the board games. It's the worst safehouse system ever. Just make it a shitty appartment with a floppy disk like in GTA San Andreas, because it's so obsolete.

I do agree that they could have done more with the camp.
Before the game came out they talked about it as if you could customize it, improve it and even do shit like take people out with you to do activities whenever you want but in the actual game you can only buy some shit upgrades and donate money so the other gang members don't call you a jew.

SAY THAT AGAIN, TO MY FOOKIN FACE, CUNT

I still dont get the horse riding is bad meme. Is it a keyboard and mouse meme? I played it with a 360 controller on pc and it was perfectly fine outside of summoning.

It fells more like driving a wagon with a horse skin than riding an actual horse.

Maybe if you have ham hands but for most normal people it's fine.

I think it's the you were born with oxygen deprivation meme.

All three Witcher games are bad gameplay propped up by good writing/aesthetics/sound/atmosphere/whatever.

Prove me wrong.

The gameplay in TW3 gets treated far more harshly then it should.

First game is the only good game in the trilogy.

u wot m8?

This. And it's still a mediocre game overall.

A thousand times this.
People here mostly love stuff like the Yakuza series and Nier Automata, which both have simplistic combat as well.

I like the combat. It's not dark souls tier, but it's fun and does a good job of using all the tools.

kingdom come does investigation stuff much better, shame there was so little of it
it was great scanning the ground and bushes for clues and asking passers by

It's boring but I prefer sleek and boring to the weird shittiness of TW1. TW2 is more challenging but just as generic as TW3 so it's the weakest in my opinion.

I do like all three games though.

and you are strangely hostile and defensive for someone who supposedly is not rehashing the same thread for the nth time.

I agree. I read everything I could get my hands on.

4 years late mate...

the pictures of henry cavill in the witcher got me interested.

should i play witcher 1 and 2 before 3 or just head into 3?
