Skyrim budget

Skyrim: Soul
Witcher 3: Soulless

and both turned out shit

This.

>skyrim budget
>$80 million
No fucking way! What did they spend it on?On the other hand TW3 is a high quality game with a ton of facial animations, visual assets, voice acting, a ton of quest content even when unmoded etc. so i can see them spending 80 million.

DO you think $80 million from 2010-2011 is worth the same now?

Kys Todd. Skyrim is actual trash.

Skyrim is pretty soulless desu
only the music is good, but then again it was made by a guy named Soule

Watch who you say that to little guy.

You made this up. Nobody knows the budget of Skyrim. Bethesda never disclosed it.

Both are great. I'm 6'7 and had sex 3 times yesterday tho. Also only have 100 hrs on tf2

this thread should be a bannable offense

To be fair, 95% of NPCs in a Skyrim city are unique and fill a role in that city, compared to 90% of the NPCs in a Witcher city which are just visual filler (not that there's anything wrong with that, I like the immersion it brings).

Of course, Bethesda has only themselves to blame for using a decades old engine that has reached the end of its serviceability with FO4.

And they're so fucking boring to traverse. I don't play betheshit but at least they understand the concept of scaling the world down for gameplay purposes.

Both have staying power and are still popular tho

will novigrad ever be topped as the best city in a video game?

sounds like you have a combination of shit taste and soullessness while being a jaded piece of shit.

They had the same budget and yet Witcher 3 has
>Better graphics
>Better animations
>Bigger world
>Better gameplay
>Better music
>Much better post launch content

lolno Todd

>Yea Forumseddit praises skyrim now
Times change, huh?

>toucan sam drone accusing anyone of shit taste

You think with a budget like that bethesda would have hired more than 6 voice actors and had more than 3 dungeons copy and pasted.

Soo the people trashing Skyrim only played it in consoles or are too low IQ to know how to mod it right?

CDPR already topped novigrad by themselves

>games is only good when you mod it with user created content
???

You can install all the mods in the world but it won't fix the shitty guilds and side quests. The mods argument works for Oblivion, not Skyrim.

It's kind of funny how companies can spend close to 100 million on a game, and at no point in it's genesis anyone ever said "Hey guys this game kinda sucks."

I think Skyrim and TW3 could have used someone telling them.

>play a Elder Scrolls
>don't mod it
The base game it's just a base for the mods like Honey Select or Koikatsu

Kneeling down to make the manlets feel secure. He's such a nice guy.

>Skyrim is the most impactful game of last gen
>TW3 is the most impactful game of this gen

Maybe it's just your taste that kinda sucks lol

I play Skyrim for the graphics and the environment having companions waifus it's another plus

Skyrim is a pretty fun game.
Can't say much about The Witcher 3, I dropped the game on Skellige.

So, what your saying is, you find the game shit but like the engine? Arent you contradicting yourself there, pal?

>more NPCs and buildings means the games much better
Nope. Not unless it serves a function.

Impactful only means "Shows the industry how you can make huge amounts of money with no actual work put in".

Both are objectively bad games that made the RPG genre worse in every possible way. That's not even something you can argue, the only defense might be "lol i liek it so who cares", which proves the point.

The environments are better in Oblivion too, with mods.

Skyrim is only good for porn

The only time anyone talks about W3 is to debate over wauifus.

Based.

>>more NPCs and buildings means the games much better
yes, that is a true statement. but who are you quoting?

Attached: EucIfYY.gif (235x240, 1.93M)

But both had a lot of work put into them. More than 99% of the games being released these days.

How? I like the base game enough to play it but the best part are the mods.
Oblivion forest is comfy too but you can't have companions and the models for the characters are a abomination

How many play the Skyrim gayass edition which makes it harder to mod the game?

>actual bethesda shills itt trying to defend their porn game where they run around the blandest medieval viking fantasy video game universe to ever exist with cat girls wearing jeans and blouses

Witcher 3's development budget was 45 million usd and 35 for marketing. Skyrim was probably 10 for the game and 70 for marketing.

Skyrim had no work put into it at all, and TW3 had a lot of effort put into all the things that literally don't matter in any way (motion capturing spinny sword animations, tons of voice dialogue, and some high-res textures). It forgot to put any effort into the gameplay which was one-note, simple beyond words, and in most cases actively horrible.

You cannot in any way tell me that TW3 had good gameplay because you would type that sentence knowing full well that you're being dishonest just to defend the game.

Based

Marketing, all marketing, even for TW3. Iirc Witcher 3's marketing budget was around 40% of that 80 million dollars. Most big developers bloat their budgets with expensive as fuck marketing, sometimes wasting more money on promoting the game than on actual development.

Show me another game that let you do that

Define gameplay. They definitely put in effort into the side quests.

>budgets for games are getting too large!!!
Meanwhile, two of biggest open world games of all time cost less than the average block buster from hollywood, while making waaaay more money than them, no way in hell Skyrim didn't make at least a billion dollars.

No you didn’t faggot

>witcherfag: here's what I like about the witcher 3: it has alot of good characters, a fixed protagonist who is one of the best vidya protagonists to exist, the world is one of the biggest of any open world that is handcrafted, huge immersive cities, lots of sidequests, lots of NPC's small and big, branching story with multiple endings, decent enemy variety, addictive and fun minigames, great OST, post-game content for free and the best DLCs to date
>skyrimfag, in response: my game has porn mods

>Good
>Skyrim
Pick one

skyrim is dogshit

Gameplay means the systems you actively use and engage with while traversing the game's content. Quests are content, gameplay is how you interact with them. That means the combat, the leveling system, the loot system, the crafting system, the Witcher Senses, the potion system, all that shit.

If you say even one single part of any of those were good, you're lying.

>dialogue doesn't matter in an rpg.

Attached: 664.jpg (558x614, 18K)

Witcher 3 also came out around five years later and is a "next gen" game, Skyrim meanwhile was made with Gen 7 consoles in mind, which severely limited it's scope and scale.

now post the Destiny budget and tell me where the money went

>it has alot of good characters, a fixed protagonist who is one of the best vidya protagonists to exist, the world is one of the biggest of any open world that is handcrafted, huge immersive cities, lots of sidequests, lots of NPC's small and big,

These are literally all the same thing. You just said the same point four times.

Eh, I enjoyed tw3 more but you can't beat Skyrim when it comes to just fucking around and experimenting with mods.
If the developers spent time and money to build good modding tools, it should definitely count.

Witcher it's boring and have even worst combat than Morrowind

God bless you user. Someone finally brave enough to tell the truth.

Not him but they were good. Sorry but you're gonna have to cope with people holding different opinions.
The combat is the only thing I won't defend. I won't call it bad but I won't call it good either. It was milquetoast combat. But we're comparing it to a bethesda open world, here. Those have garbage non-existent combat.

I actually cannot believe Bungie managed to burn HALF A BILLION DOLLARS before D2 was even out, how can you fuck up that badly?

Fallout 4 came out after Witcher 3 but looked like a last-gen game compared to it. Bethesda is just trash.

LMFAO BTFO

It's official, OP needs to dilate.

Dialogue is nice and it's great if you have good dialogue in an RPG, but it's never been mandatory, and lots of great RPGs have very little dialogue at all.

But I'm not going to pretend that decently written dialogue makes a bad game better or more fun to play.

I suppose they could've been a bit more fleshed out, but I wouldn't call them bad. Would rather have more content with worse mechanics than vice versa. Dragon's dogma is an example of the latter and it's one of the most boring games I've played in my life.

>lifeless nerd who needs escapism into videogames to have a reason to avoid necking himself defending artificially inflated environments.

Geeee who would have guessed.

Also
>Less bugs

ProjecTrannys on suicide watch

Witcher 3 was the worst game I played actually. There's nothing in it to explore. The stories were good but I think I'll just read a book or watch a movie instead. Skyrim was actually a good game to PLAY.

this is sadly too detailed to not be a projection.

>Witcher Sense, press one button to know everything and complete the quest
>Bombs, potions, and traps that only serve to waste time or make combat more difficult than it actually is
>Loot system that actively provides you nothing of value, tons of shit you can't use, and more money than the game gives you options to do anything with
>Crafting system that is useless at the best of times
>Quest rewards that are always worse than what you craft at the same level
>Leveling system that doesn't actually give you anything except a few % more health or some shit via shitty mutagens

These things were all good? Really?

Dude with the red shoes got his balls tucked in

My height! I'm so proud of my idol! :)

>and lots of great RPGs have very little dialogue at all.
????

And somehow Witcher is just not fun to play

Skyrim is unironically more fun and has had people playing constantly for 9 years. Witcher 3 is a clunky awful game to play with good writing.

Novigrad is LITERALLY, without argument, the worst part of TW3. Fuck off, CDPR shill.

Only for the reason of being able to choice your race and sex Skyrim is superior, being the white hair edgelord get boring when you are not 14 anymore

W3 is a better game imo, but goddamn this was the first time for me that a city is way too fucking big for it's own good. I still can't find my way around Novigrad. One could argue that it's good because it's supposed to be a big, overblown city you should get lost in, but it just doesn't click with me. Still I'd prefer that over bethshit's little foxholes.

So what you're telling me is they're both peasant trash compared to RDR2?

Skyrim has much more to do PER INCH. You can put cheese wheels inside a house. Steal all their items. GLITCHER is more like a museum most of the time. Pretty to look at, but nothing to truly explore and find most of the time

>W3 is barely mentioned these days, meanwhile BB, released the same year, is heralded as GOTGen and still constantly talked about nonstop every single day

If you did play 100+ hours of ANY game, you don't hate it, you love it and you hate the fact that you love it for some reason
(one possibility is that you seeth that this games comes from Poland or you seeth about the devs political stance).
If it was so horrible, you would stop after ~5-10 hours tops. If you really hated it and played it for 100 hours, you should just hang yourself. Well actually, in either way, you should KYS.

If a game doesn't have a properly built questing system, very few items for customisation, no XP (XP gains are supposed to be permanent. souls/BEs are more like money), poor writing, why shouldn't it be criticised when it's being presented as an RPG? The only RPG element it has is player stats. It's a very barebones "role playing" game.

According to this "logic" (or rather, the lack thereof), everything else that isn't made by R* is shit.

There's literally only one person defending TW3 in here lol and he's acting lke everyone else is samefagging. Post count hasn't gone up once when someone defends The Witcher

Do you keep those RDR 2 webms in your fap folder?

Stories can exist in video game format but when the game mechanics and game world come together it should meld properly. Skyrim lets you explore the world and therefore the story feels more natural. The open world in Witcher felt unnecessary in comparison.

Every NPC in Skyrim has a unique model, is voice acted, has unique AI, can be one of ten races, and can be fully interacted with (pickpocketed, killed, etc). Not to mention that every single building can be entered. Lastly, Skyrim is one of the least densely populated provinces in Tamriel, so of course the cities aren't going to be huge and they have been scaled down for gameplay purposes to begin with.

Good thing we're discussing RPGs then. Like Bloodborne.

You were for sure not here in 2011 if you think Yea Forums shat on Skyrim when it released beyond being simplified from Oblivion. You obviously still barely post because there's always a Skyrim thread, even if memes, ten years later, while Witcher 3 only gets threads like this. No one talks about TW3 at all anymore.

75 of skyrim's 80 was spent on advertising that game to zoomer sois gaping their mouths at dragons.
the "open world" game has an open world you can walk through the entirety of in 30 minutes and """"cities"""" composed of an average of 20 hovels. It also has the typical bethesda signature of budgeting everything, recycling shit, CTRLVing shit, randomly generating terrain, using few stock trees, reusing NPC models, having shit and limited voice acting, copypasting the 3 same linear cave designs, having the usual garbage uninteractive combat system, empty world with nothing interesting to explore.

Being forgotten is worse on a site like this than being talked about constantly FWIW

No, it's an action game with tacked on stats. It's also a pretty niche and irrelevant game that made no impact whatsoever and shouldn't be compared to the games that this thread is about. Regardless of their flaws, both Skyrim and Witcher 3 are still far better than anything ever made in Japan.

So you need to be popular and normie-friendly enough to be called an RPG?

The reason that pasta still gets posted is because it's completely true, user

Something dobson secretly draws.

That figure for Skyrim includes marketing. Most of Skyrim's budget was spent on marketing.

No, you need to have RPG elements and qualities. Bloodborne being shit and already forgotten is unrelated.

And since Bloodborne has RPG elements and qualities, we're all good here.

based tripfag styling on tasteless zoomers

I only played DeS and DaS1 and they both have more roleplaying value than W3 even with the limited dialogue. I bet you think an RPG means choosing your waifu and shit

What's the point of this post? The Witcher 3 figure also includes marketing, and they also spent the majority of the budget on marketing.

>BUZZWORD that's a BUZZWORD from me BUZZWORD
buzzword yourself

Considering inflation, not really. Skyrim cost so much to make because Bethesda made it, and there's a lot of feature creep and it's a sandbox. The Witcher 3 set out to do one thing and accomplished it. The comparison is retarded.

Why are soulsfags so desperate to bring up their shit games in every thread? This garbage will never be as relevant as gothic or elder scrolls. It's honestly cringe seeing these low quality games being mentioned in RPG threads

I enjoyed Bloodborne and RDR2 more than TWreddit3

Because they paid over $300 for it

The only time anyone talks about Skyrim is to debate over mod waifus.

>Skyrim
>Soul
Holy fuck, kill yourself. W3 sucks dick too, but Skyrim is on another level of soulless generic rpg.

The witcher has to have one of the most boring fantasy settings.

both are reddit games

Yaas my reason to hate it , you just know from the start that their won't be any epic stuff, No real Dragon suprise attack, no Kraken Sinking your ship, just whores, whores everywhere

look at all the seethe one image stating mere facts generated. All the countercope is
>you can enter the copypasted 20 buildings in skyshit
>the 5 NPCs in skyshit have schedules
>I can steal shit from skyshit houses (you can literally do this in TW3 too)

Witcher 3 got way more copypasted building how dellusional are you?

refer to the image and get a look at whiterun you delusional sack of steaming shillshit. half of it is copypasted buildings with the exact same artstyle. Nothing in TW3 feels copypasted, not even the villages. The buildings are integrated together differently with different coats of paint or other smaller cues that makes them look unique. And there is a metric ton of other unique buildings like the tower in the elector square. There is no moment in TW3 where the player gets faced with something very obviously copypasted and screams "I'm recycled". Even the caves are unique, unlike skyshit that has loading screen copypasted dungeons.

80 million usd goes a lot father in Poland than in the USA. Honestly CDPR is in the perfect position to make ambitious titles. The foreign money they gives them a sizable fortune to develop with.

No it doesn't because Poland has shitty investors. If they were trying to make real ambitious stuff with big money they'd set up a home office in New York like Rockstar.

Played the game twice dude you can't even recognize the villages you are in because they are all villages in the woods with kids hunting slugs and the same merchant/herbalist/smith Everywhere and the cities are pure clusterfuck of design also witcher3 second dlc puts so much saturation in the colors that it looks worst than skyrim

This is one of the stupidest post I've ever read on this board.
