What the fuck, was Sup Forums trying to trick me again?
I've been putting off this game for a year now because you guys kept saying the combat was shit and I believed you with your cherrypicked webms. After the critical acclaim of the new expansion, I finally decided to give this game a try. And guess what? The combat is actually not that bad and provides a decent challenge if you actually play on a difficulty level higher than Story and Sword. I mean what the fuck we're you expecting for a story-based RPG, Devil May Cry combat? This is the last time I listen to opinions on this shitty board ever again.

>trusting Sup Forums's tastes
>ever

How can people fall for a few autists spamming the same outdated webms over and over again?

Unreal.

>inb4 the one autist with no life spamming the thread with webms on baby level difficulty and a few early game bugs

It's literally just one guy

I hate to say this, but you literally fell for the bait.

post the webm

I didn't save them because I don't contribute to shitposting but the one that gets posted most frequently is one where Geralt is fighting a chimera or something like that in a cave.

>tfw bought the whole series but never played any of them because I'm too busy with work
>in 1 month my work project ends and I have all the time in the world to finish the whole series
My body is trembling for this pleasure

Honestly though I suck at this combat. A pack of drowners either takes forever to kill or I get my ass beat up by them but kill them in like 1-2 minutes.

Swing swing, they dodge, close the gap and they swing, I dodge and then swing swing. This is like every monster so far and I don't remember Witcher 2 being this tough or lame?

D O W N G R A D E

But no seriously screw you CDPR for fucking up the graphics.

Learn how to dodge, and get some oils for your swords, they help a lot

You can also make decoctions and shit. What swords are you using? And difficulty?
My silver swords are around 400-500 damage

Nice try CDPR

Sounds like you're purposefully making the game as boring and overly difficult as possible by not bothering to prepare for any combat at all and just spamming basic attack. By "sounds like" I mean that's factually what you just said, blame yourself, not the game.

I think it looks pretty good

B&W improved the graphics as well

>Swing swing, they dodge, close the gap and they swing, I dodge and then swing swing.
There's your problem. Mix your attacks with some magic and use oil, jeez isn't it obvious? Drowners are weak to ingis, if you read the bestiary you would know that.

The combat is shit. Dodge the enemy's telegraphed attacks, fast attack a few times, dodge back out before they retaliate, and repeat. Quen is available if you're a shirter that somehow gets hit.

>I mean what the fuck we're you expecting for a story-based RPG, Devil May Cry combat?
Why not tho?
The combat is not 200% shit but this is really high quality game in every regard but the combat, they really should play some jap action games from the last 10 years or so and realize they are not doing the best they can honestly.

I'm still pretty early, only level 10 and just ended the Vike Isle quest line and doing other side-quests in that area. I can hit dudes fine, but it's just I really felt more aggressive and fluid in the other Witcher games (even the first one) than I do in W3 so far.

Dodging even seems weird to attack out of, like the pause after dodges are performed are huge and I might as well be starting a whole other combo of attacks again.

Why would I waste oils on drowners? I know they are weak to ignis (as I did read the beastiary you cuck) but this is pretty much the same for any monster fight so far: water hags, rotfiends, alghouls, anything...

Would you prefer the guy to keep fighting after you set him on fire?

Don't be so defensive, but literally why would you waste oils or potions on a random group of drowners? That is absurd.

I've played and finished W1 and W2 and I enjoy this game, but this combat is way deadlier than the other games.

Use the signs, use quen so you can stand the drowners hits, use igni since theya re weak to that, etc.

I play on Death March and you can deal with 99% of situations by putting on Quen, hitting light attack once or twice, then dodging and repeating. Putting Quen back on whenever it falls off or you take a hit.

The combat is incredibly dull because of this

>Why would I waste oils on drowners?
Because using oils isn't wasteful. Once you've used alchemy to create them you have unlimited oils. Used up all your oils? Just meditate for an hour and bam, you have them all back.

Thank the consoles.

>I mean what the fuck we're you expecting for a story-based RPG, Devil May Cry combat?
I was expecting something above the level and depth of an Elder Scrolls game. I really hate this mentality that it's okay for role-playing tames to play like shit. No wonder these companies put more time and effort into their cinematics.

>I don't remember Witcher 2 being this tough or lame?

When I was done with W3 I went back to W2 to try a different build and story.

The rolling.
Was.
So.
Fucking.
Slow.

Hmm, maybe that's the thing I've missed. Sounds like that would help a bit more and I didn't realize it worked that way.

>listening to Sup Forums any year past 2011

You're own fault.

So just like every game with a dodge system ever

Theres a perk for that

Hairworks yes or no?

Quen pretty much breaks the combat.

Remember to follow the red line op. This is key to success.

No.

>Nose piercing
why do sluts ruin themselves like that?

I have an overclocked 970, and I'm running everything on ultra except shadows which are on medium since there's little visual difference but a big performance hit, with Hairworks on 4x MSAA and I get 60fps 95% of the time

Yes, actually

Why is his hair so soft, i-i wanna touch it!

Agreed. Quen needs a nerf, and dodging should have some sort of cooldown so you can't spam it endlessly.

Can someone tell me if W3's combat is better than 2?

Because I'm playing W2 now and it has one of the worst combat system I've ever played (1 wasn't this bad)

If you're not getting dem sixty effpeeess, it should be the first thing to go. Very big impact for the small improvement it brings.

Well, thats retarded, and you are probably retarded too user, sorry bout that.

Really? Every game with a roll has a spell that negates all damage for a hit that you can constantly reapply?

It's not really damage efficient tho. And also won't help much when fighting several enemies with a ranged attack.

No, i do agree that quen can get a bit boring but roll , hit light attack once or twice and roll again is the same in pretty much every game yea

they even give you perks that make it so you take less damage while dodging if hit by a second enemy, to the point where I think you can basically be immune to all damage while dodging

people joke about iframes being retarded in Souls but Witcher 3 has a ton of iframes when rolling.

>he genuinely thinks TES games hold a candle to W3 combat

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>story-based RPG
For fuck sake google what RPG actually means. This shit is not. It's just action-adventure game. Devs just call it RPG so the stupid little kids can feel smarter about themselves.

And do you niggas roll that much, i pretty much only side step, its way better

Fighting a knight lit on fire who ignores repeated hitstuns sounds challenging

more challenging than cheesing a stunlock fire spell that breaks the fight entirely, robbing it of any tension and fun

>listening to opinions on autism central

No one to blame but yourself. Just look at all the shitty games people on Sup Forums discuss regularly and ask yourself whether their opinions were worth holding with regard.

How people here voted LiS as better than DiRT Rally and TW Attila and then expect anyone to respect their opinions on anything having bad gameplay is truly mindboggling

It's pretty much the same shit. Pirate it and see for yourself

W2 has no targeting so the combat is rough as fuck.

W3 does though and it's much better because of it. This user is retarded.

You just described the combat in every Souls game

>is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting.
I'm assuming the roll of a witcher named Geralt in a made up world with monsters and shit.

>Roll Quen Roll Quen Roll Quen

Yeah sorry it's the same shit.

>But Dark Souls!

Is the Witcher not a game where you play a role and develop your character and story through it?

Oh, you're just a retard.

>I-it's all roll spam

So easy to tell which retards have never even played the game.

It's the only game Sup Forums can kind of agree has the best combat.

So what your saying is no game that isn't completely designed around combat like DMC is shit?

What's it like being so contrarian? How do you enjoy yourself?

It doesn't even have better combat than Mountain Blade and it's not a fraction of the RPG either. So I disagree.

I pirated it the day it came out.

What

Looks like every game in the world is RPG.

>It doesn't even have better combat than Mountain Blade and it's not a fraction of the RPG either. So I disagree.
HAhahahahaha k

>still shitposting about it, a solid year after not understanding the combat and dropping it

What a miserable life it must be.

i just dont understand why anyone fell for all that

>The combat is actually not that bad

Please keep playing the game more. You will soon realise that the game only has couple kind of enemies.

You got humans of three kind. One with sword/bow, one with a shield, and one with two-handed weapon. Then you go to monsters :
>Every draconid moves and attacks the same.
>Every wraith moves and attacks the same.
>Every necrophage apart from water hag attack and move the same. Couple of the necrophages have special attributes, like exploding on death or reflect, but their attacks are still near identical
>Every beast is the same

I could go on forever. The monster variety is great, but holy shit they could've done much more with it. Apart from wraiths, dodging to right and attacking works for every fucking mob in this game.

>provides a decent challenge if you actually play on a difficulty level higher than Story and Sword
why don't you leave white orchard first?

One of them has high player count MP with a high skill ceiling and the other is autistic trash with a terrible fanbase where mentally deficient handicaps talk about how hardcore they are fighting AI all day.

>Still defending trash games a solid year after.

What a miserable life it must be.

ok

You're judging a SP game by its strawman community you made up...

user, you have autism.

Damn near. It's a very broad category.

This, M&B MP is pretty good and not for the casual at heart while DS is for people who need to fight a mindless program as retarded as they are

>Lets make the UI and Inventory trash on purpose so when we fix it all the dumb asses will praise us.

I think the UI actually got worse

Wasn't really that bad to start with, they just made it better

Didn't think there would be any counter argument because I am right

Well on top of just being some guy, you actually have a fictional classification (like being a mage or some shit in any other rpg) that isn't normally obtainable by just being some guy. On top of that there are leveling systems for gear and stats, so you do build your character as you go. The game is also very story based around the world you are in. The only weak argument that you can make is you can't choose your class.

Both have MP and SP and M&B is better at both

ok

I'm at Novigrad now

>map painting with awful combat and 2002 tier animations and textures
>better than anything

>wriggling about is amazing combat

My sides. Check out those sick 360° swings!

>DS fanboy saying anyone has autism

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA disgusting

Bump
This was a based game

>Sup Forums trying to trick you

No it's one nigger whose devoted his life to shitposting about the game. Everyone with a reasonable mind can see the combat is heavily flawed and could use a lot of work but the rest of the game more than makes up for the shortcomings.

The shitposting is literally 1 dude who is so constant that it seems like he doesn't even sleep.

It's not my fault you get trashed out of the MP for being bad at video games user. Go back to "kill a bot and post about it: for kids" with the other fatass retards.

Have you accepted Witcher 1 as the best Witcher game yet?

ughhhhhhh you aren't one of those people who jumped into the 3rd game first are you?

And it's still the best looking game out.

then you must fucking suck at video games. after white orchard and the first few hours of velen, the game gets piss fucking easy even on death march. the game only gets moderately challenging again in hearts of stone with the frog prince and caretaker, but they can easily be cheesed if youre someone that experiments with bombs and signs.

Why can't DS fans handle skill based MP games?

It's a lifetime of being pampered by the devs calling them "hardcore" for killing retarded AI's and their parents keeping them supplied with diapers because they have serious mental retardation.

>but the rest of the game more than makes up for the shortcomings.

He's awake! How are you user, got a good day of shitposting ahead of you?

tru

The game has a hidden tier system. I was being slaughtered by everything at level 6, yet when I hit level 14, I was unstoppable.

lmao
