PC Master race here

PC Master race here,

Why is the combat (and gameplay in general) so shallow simplistic and shit? why is the only good parts of the game, its characters and story?

Because it's a book.

Op i have the same problem. Love the world/story/chars. Games too repetitive/quests are too boring. I paid too much money for this damn game to not play it.

how would you know? are you a witcher?

this tbg baka senpai desu senpai moshi ~

>autistic, no-emotion-having bland generic mary sue daughter
>emotionally distant "mature" woman who don't need no man
>jealous slutty redhead
>some nonsensical random quests that barely have anything to do with each other
>generic "save the world" ending
>bad guy is just a parody-tier edgy villain with no real motives of character

I'd argue that it's because it's a ROLE-playing game. That being said, I found TW2-3 to be just shit, and loved 1

>ROLE-playing game
yes, but it lacked the gameplay depth of any RPG.

a very shitty book that didnt have even 1/10th of game writting.

Not a huge RPG guy but I like the witcher 3 so far. Which are the best side quests in the game? Like which ones are almost essential to do? Im not gonna do any others

>which ones are almost essential to do?
none are essential, but the side quests are better than the main ones.

...

>mfw playing Nioh Trial
>Imagining TW3 with Nioh combat

because the combat is a more boring version of assassins creed combat, which is pretty damn boriung already

can't polacks do anything right?

ill never be able to finish the game like that

no one in the west can do proper combat

But the bosses are breathlessly challenging though.

What? How is it anything like AC?

Because westerners can't actually make gameplay, and PC gamers traditionally cannot adapt to actual gameplay. This huge divide in player skill from console and PC gamers is what keeps Japanese games exclusive to consoles, the Japanese refuse to dumb their games down for the PC'ucks whose brains were rotted by QTE based gameplay.

then don't. the ending is shit.

ahhahaha no

>eastern europe
>western

Neck yourself weeb

The japanese actually popularized QTEs with Shenmue and RE 4, faggot

PS4 master race here,

the combat is shit (or very bad at least), that is true, but no because it is simplistic, but because so many other things are fucking wrong. hit boxes, movement, consistency of attack duration, hitboxes, roll is worthless lmfao, sidestepping all the time dude lmfao spastic adventures, hitboxes, lack of actual spell system (not even expecting thundaga), dude hitboxes lmfao.

Finishers look cool tho inb4 edge.

FFXV has a chill combat system that is easy, fun and doesn't feel like bethesda tier spastics. If you disagree git gud.

Witcher 3 is still 9.5/10 tho thanks to Slavic meme magic

there is no depth in combat. just mash fucking light attack, sidestep and win. gets boring because it's the same shit no matter the enemy

Because melee games take hundreds of hours to git gud and thousands of hours to become a master like Geralt is meant to be (see Chivalry and M&B). Instead of making good melee combat they just put in a god mode dodge button and fill bandit camps with tens of men that don't input attacks faster than a 70 year old with Parkinson's. This means you don't need to parry attacks and can quick attack through any encounter.

Okay the combat is far from good. But it is not bad either and honestly, this is coming from an XV fan, it has some depth to it.

You see you could say the same about Soulsborne if it didn't have different weapon classes. The Witcher 3's combat would be much more enjoyable if it was just more polished (hitboxes, etc.). But it can still be fun.

Maybe you pcmustards have too high standards. Feels good enjoying games here lmfao dude

>But it is not bad either and honestly
I have played games with better content on my PS2. there is no excuse for Witcher 3's shitty gameplay

Also signs, grenades and crossbow being utter garbage doesn't help, you're always stuck with sword.

>muh combat
everytime

>why do people want gameplay in their games? just enjoy the dialogue and pretty pixels

yup

I hope you still enjoy the game.

Can't argue with that. This was my entry to the series coming from Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and it feels fucking weird going from different spells to underpowered Fira against ugly ass drowners lmfao.

Because it is legitimized criticism.

>I hope you still enjoy the game.
I played the shit out of it because of the characters and story and all that, but the shitty "travel to x to do the same shit over and over" got very annoying.

and now I'm trying to beat it again to play the DLC stuff, but I really have to force myself to go through that.

Igni was actually stupidly powerful when you increase Ignite. Ignite damage seemed to simply bypass Damage Reduction, so even if you bumped into a skull-con wyvern flapping around or whateve, you could kill it by burning it alive with bombs and/or igni.
