Why is the Witcher 3 so much better than other games?

Why is the Witcher 3 so much better than other games?

Its really not.

Its mass marketed fluff with lowest common denominator gameplay including but not limited to a pointless loot system, ubisoft-tier open world, garbage quest design, repetitive dull combat and a poor control feel to boot.

Its story is about literal magical space elf hitler and their masterful plan to ignore any and all chances of actually winning because they like being cool more than they like being efficient. Lets not forget ere ere something something, who had less lines than reskinned shopkeepers, or Ciri the most uninteresting bland character ever made, or the fact that its practically super mario in medieval poland.

Nah, none of that matters because the game has good graphics, tits, ass and it won a bunch of awards!

Its a mediocre game at best and the only reason to even consider experiencing it are cutscenes, dialogue and music - all of which you can experience for free on youtube.

Surely you can't be serious?

Witchercucks BTFO

Not that poster but I had no problems with the story, my problem was with the combat. Garalt(?) turns so slow...if you are locked on and try to turn he turns with a stick up his ass.

GWENT?

What do you expect when the only way people can make Witcher 3 look good is comparing it to absolute trash contemporary titles like Fallout 4 and DA:I?

TW3 is really a mediocre game (and not at all an RPG) that benefited from being released in a really weak year for AAA titles.

I mean, I don't want to call it a bad game, because it isn't. But it is extremely overrated and I think many of the people who like to call it the 'best game ever' haven't played very many games.

No, there is LITERALLY no way that someone dislikes Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, made by the based gods at CD Project Red!

DAE hate portals XD

These images are great. Witcherfags simply can't handle them and their drone mentality will drive them to instantly accuse you of being some sort of omnipresent boogeyman.

Truly the most brainwashed insecure fanbase of all time.

best rpg evar

but it features hot women

>can't attack neutral NPCs

you're a witcher not a bandit

>more awards = good now
So CoD games are the best games?

Keep sucking Todd's dick then.

>its okay to have bland, dull and repetitive gameplay with a single moveset for the entire 150 hours because muh world consistency and muh withchurs

lel o lel

They used slav labor.

It has a ton of shit that I hate. Awful loot system, tons of crafting garbage, worthless money, retarded level system, that shit boat sailing. It all bad in terms of good rpg

>you can attack random guards for no reason
>they're always a higher level than you
>you don't get anything for beating them
>if you lose to them they take half of your money


why

You sure told him.

...

OH KURWA

my favorite fuck you moment in this game was finishing that long armor quest and getting rewarded with some heavy armor that had such a level requirement I still couldn't wear it when I finish the game.

t. bioware

Link the original neofag post you copypastad this from.

>bbfags still this assmad

that cant be from neogaf. There not one mention of frame pacing issue

>all these arguments
god damn, sure got me
I bet you people think that witcher senses is a serviceable fun mechanic too, you casual fucking mongolds.

Left:

quick, interesting, immersive

Right:

boring

It indeed isn't from Neogaf because I wrote that response myself based on my own gameplay experience with the game.

I completely and truly believe that I wasted my money on the game when the only enjoyable parts were completely free to experience on youtube. I didn't have to suffer through 140 hours of bland, repetitive and boring as fuck gameplay - but I did because I believed the meme that the combat or quest design were good.

I didn't really care for it.
The stories were nice but a lot of them dragged on with unnecessary filler that kept the player character running around person to person. I don't have patience when I know what the next npc is going to say 90% of the time.
The combat was workable but nothing special. It was floaty in every department except signs. I understand he fights like a fairy on too much pixey dust but I prefer weight in action games. It is an action game, lets not kid ourselves.
The upgrade system was unnecessary. Why would a witcher who is on the third game and through plenty of books need to be a certain level to use hardware?
There are good parts to the game but I don't consider graphics the end all be all. The level design was exceptional though.
Overall it's a mediocre game in my opinion. What is your guy's opinion on my opinion?

Neo Sup Forums and the common AAA playerbase rolled up into one post

Well done.

when does this start getting good? I played for a few hours and I was bored out of my fucking mind. felt like more boring dialogue than gameplay

you've experienced the whole game already

>The level design was exceptional though.
My opinion on your opinion is that its confusing and stupid. Its a bloody ubisoft-tier filler open world with three billion of the same boring side content that no one likes doing

Because it was made with love.

I agree with you on every aspect

>all these arguments
>all my retarded claims without any support

boy oh boy! You sure showed me. The reason no one wants to argue with a 30 year old who has posters of anime girls is because it's a waste of time.

I ment the architecture or landmass. Whatever we call it cause ya, I agree, it was filler.

Oh look it's another OP shilling for tw3. Gee it must really be a great game if the same guy is making the same thread 24/7 :^)

you can say whatever you want, but i fucking loved witcher 3 and other witcher games. i played witcher 3 4 times and i already want to do 5th run.
i normally hate open world games, but for some reason witcher 3 just worked for me.

...

So if I've read countless books to work and way home for years do I get a pass? Or do I have to read walls of texts on my games at home too?

Because it was created by talented developers with an artistic vision uncompromised by political or social interests.

Open world game hype + multiplat = big sales, awards. Doesn't mean good games.

Witcher 3 IS good, but not great.

It's literally the perfect game.
Why, with that many accolades surely people are still playing and enjoying it far more than its contemporaries.
Oh... wait.

>ellipsis unironically
hey reddit

How can the witcher 3 have more players than skyrim? Did the degenerate furry and waifu mods migrate to fallout 4 or something?

>Skyrim has double the player base
Yet we don't see like 8 daily threads shilling their piece of shiy boring empy world talking simulator.
Why are witcherfags so fucking annoying?

The witcher 3 is so good I honestly don't understand how it was possible. So much of both quantity and quality that is literally in a league of its own.

Are you literally retarded?

>W3 has 98% positive reviews on steam
>DLCs have 99% positive reviews
>Sup Forums still finds a way to claim it's a bad game or overrated
You not personally enjoying it doesn't mean its bad or overrated. It means you have a shitty taste in video games and should fuck off back to your weeb garbage.

Hey wait! I don't see Gothica on that cancerous list of games (Except Witcher). I guess Faggotha must suck now.

>retarded claims without any support
okay then

I don't think I need to expand on the main quest being a repetitious boring slog where you literally act as an errand boy herding goats and running menial errands. The whole main quest could be toned down 50% and it would be a thousand times better. Skellige is wasted potential at best, and practically everything is rushed and disappointing after Kaer Morhen.

The combat would be fine if it wasn't for the ridiculous lack in enemy variety and player weapon and ability variety. No matter what you do, you will always be a ballerina swordsman and you will always play like a ballerina swordsman. The only choice you have is if you want to break the game further with sign spam or alchemy spam.

The enemy design is barebones and repetitive as fuck, where it doesn't really even matter what you're fighting. The pattern where you hit twice and then the enemy blocks and forces you to dodge is so common that almost every enemy has it - and it becomes such a big tactic that theres practically no point doing anything else. The "boss fights" are reskinned enemies with larger health pools, and the only good boss fights, olgierd and dettlaff are in paid DLC.
Even the paid DLCs reskin enemies and then treat them as new ones by new beastiry entries.

The open world design is 90% filler and 10% interesting locations, mostly used for quests even.
This is further destroyed by...

...the loot system, that makes witcher gear 10 levels lower than random loot still better. There is no incentive to explore or collect loot, because its all meaningless and dull. Money barely holds any value, and witcher gear is gotten from easily obtainable quests anyway.
All you find in bandit camps is shitty weapons, alchemy ingredients and food.

The quest design is for literal braindead children who can't think for themselves, and it destroys any and all potential the quests had in the game.

Its mass marketed AAA shlock made for retards.

>he thinks reviews made by casual normies matter

>he thinks some autist's opinion on Sup Forums matter

>the majority of people think something is good
>that MUST MEAN ITS GOOD!!!

Yes, and MCU movies are the pinnacle of cinema.

Gothic is 16 years old

The game just has an amazing setting, very serviceable dialogue and combat, and is huge while still having amazing attention to detail all the way through. When it first came out it was so next gen that nothing has rivaled it yet until BotW came out in my opinion.

It's accessible to normalfags and well made

I knew you'd say that.

That isn't an excuse.

None of these games come close to the freedom the quests in Original Sin give you. I still like all of these games, because I can understand that they each have their own strengths.

so which is better if i want to try a pc game?


Witcher 3 vs Dark souls 3 vs Nier Automata

>pc game
>all multiplats

>pcmustard
Play the exclusive you fucking cuck

t. spastic bethestard

>Fo4 got any picks for GOTY

Absolutely insane. It's somehow even worse than 3.

Well i got no choice i sure hell aint gonna play DOOM or TUROK from another century... I spent all these years building PC just to play shitty ports wtf. Which will it be comon now, time is ticking

Honestly it depends on what you like most.

When I stated my criticism of W3 in this thread I don't like treating it as objective truth even if I don't say "in my opinion" before and after every sentence.

If you like a decent/mediocre story and good side stories with good characters, good graphics, good music and good lore, Witcher 3 is fine.

Dark Souls 3 is a poor mans Bloodborne, and the second worst game in the series. Its still... good, but, I mean, its just so lacking in a lot of things. Its great for a one time playtrough though.

Haven't played Nier. Looks decent enough if you like action games.

Not an argument.

Dark Souls 3 > Nier > The Shitter 3

This. It's got worse combat than 2 somehow. Still manages better to be the shitty mess that the first game was.

I like game of thrones type shit, but i dont know if witcher comes closer to that, from the posters it looks like its focused on some guy being all Twilight-like with being torn between love of two women or something because hes so badass.

>$160 for 3 games
Fucking Jews.

>>>/Rebbit/

>it looks like its focused on some guy being all Twilight-like with being torn between love of two women or something because hes so badass.


pretty much

If you like Witcher 3 this much that you have to create blatant shilling thread bragging about muh GOTY awards (as fucking if they mattered in this industry), you're the one who belongs on "rebbit"

I haven't read/watched Game of Thrones, but its similar in some ways I guess. Its set in medieval times with some mixtures of magic, politics and kings. Theres also lots of tits so theres that I guess.
>its focused on some guy being all Twilight-like with being torn between love of two women or something because hes so badass.
Thats a small sub plot in the game and you can choose which completely boring whore you pick.
Thats really not the main quest or anything. The game excells the most in its sidequests.

The same can be said about Morrowind x Skyrim.

what is morrowind times skyrim? what level of autism do i need to be in order to understand this quest? I'm only level 4 right now.

It's good, I've been making my way through it slowly.

Nier just came out and is way more fun though so I'll get back to Witcher in a few weeks

It's obviously the outer product between Morrowind and Skyrim.

It doesn't. I hear the expansions have better writing but i cant bring myself to boot it up agian.

Only ive played was the witcher 3 and i wasn't all that impressed. I'd say wait for a sale on it and dark souls. Niers the newest so if it goes on sale at all it would only be like 20% off at most. You can pick uo the others cheaper.

It's very good, but it really isn't. It's just that other WRPGs of the past few years have been so awful that when a genuinely well made one comes along it seems godly in comparison.

cool bait

does any game have hotter chicks than witcher 3? I think thats the most impressive thing here.

because an entire country's population was put to work making this game. Warsaw had its potato rations cut by 70% (to 1/3 potato per person per day) to have enough resources to make a game that somewhat entertained Western audiences

Yes, it must be as popular and high praised as it is just because everyone hates every aspect of it, surely the hate isn't just shit tier Sup Forums trolls talking shit about it out of jealousy much like the bbc trolls over on Sup Forums.

lul, even Skyrim BTFOs Witcher

How is witcher always catching shit for it's combat but nobody seems to mind bethesda games combat?

dark souls 3. I have witcher 3 and it's good, but DS3 is so much more engaging. Haven't played Nier.

because witcher is a third person game and all third person games must be compared to Dark Souls' combat.

>nobody seems to mind bethesda games combat?
You're outright lying. Biggest complaint is always the shitty combat, something you can't even fix with mods.

What's up with the emergence of TW3 shilling threads lately, after the game gets completely BTFO by BOTW?

Witchercunts are comically insecure.

All claiming its shit can't figure how to disable minimap and quest markers?
