CDPR actually thought that you wouldn't be so retarded and would be able to set the game yourself, but they were wrong. I guess people need to have everything served on a silver platter like in Dark Souls because setting and customizing difficulty is too hard apparently.
This is why cost of everything is scaled up in HoS and BaW. Because they gave up and knew people will grind instead of enjoying the game at correct pace.

>Turn off markers
>>Can't find anything due to a lack of direction descriptions
wooow best game ever

>geralt gets his ass hicked with two or three hits by enemies who are at a much lower level than him

why does this happen

>not every quest is a "use your batman senses" bullshit
I fucking love this game but you know that's a god damn lie. I once decided to go the extra mile and look for the footprints in a quest and it wouldn't trigger the cutscene at the end of them until I used by Witcher sense. Shit like that is rampant throughout the game because of that mechanic. It's arguably one of the games most glaring flaws.

At least in HoS they fixed it. There is a quest where you have to find a missing friend of a halfling. You find an abandoned village where only two old people live and the quest would end here when you think that the guy was eaten by wolves.
However when you use witcher senses and look in correct places you will find that those are cannibals and they ate the dude.

To Ubisoft's credit they at least have functional combat even if it's very simple, can't say the same about Witcher.

what triggers me more about this is that he's almost leveling up and has yet to spend his character point

>Enemy is one level higher than you
>Literally takes a few hundred hits to go down

And half the fucking game is watching a cutscene. And you have to double space every time you want to skip a line. What fun!

Why do blame CDPR if you can't play for shit

Instead of towers, you just look at a notice board to reveal stuff on the map. Worlds apart I know.

No niggers in my medieval European setting.

You're sucking on tiny slavcocks while doing it

It isn't. But somehow the PCf-a-g-s of Sup Forums pretend Witcher3 represents (or is?) a PC game so they constantly overhype it.
It has decent characters and a couple dozen neat side-quests (plot-wise only, not in mechanics or gameplay), but the rest of the game - every single aspect - is mediocre or bad. Witcher3 is a mediocre game with bad combat, that's all there is to it.

Just wait for the TV series to get the best Witcher experience. As games they aren't good.

Oh look it's this thread again

t. upset console poorfag

The only reason people like it so much is because the world looks good and not every quest involve killing someone.
Every quest does involve witcher senses though, which are trash.

The game is good but it has a metric shitton of issues and bad game design decisions. It's also made with lowest common denominator "gamers" in mind. Don't believe anyone who says it's more complex or makes you think more than Skyrim or any Ubisoft checklist simulator.
Also, the game was rushed as fuck and is obviously unfinished at times. Skellige is a joke and should've been cut out of the game and released as DLC later as well.

Honestly, the only thing TW3 is worth playing for is its DLCs. HoS is exactly what makes Witcher series, both games and books, good. B&W suffers from a lot of things that made vanilla game shit, but it also adds good quests and brings production values to a passable level.

console fag here, can confirm the PS4 version of Witcher 3 is near unplayable due to the excruciating loading times.

Actual serious question, is forcing the player to sit thru a long, boring loading time when they die a legitimate form of difficulty, as in it's your punishment for playing the game incorrectly and dying as a result? Like it used to be losing all your lives and getting a game over, therefore having to play the entire level/world/game, was the punishment, but now nearly every game saves atleast every 10-30 minutes, so is the arbitrary requirement of having to load the entire game again when you die the modern replacement for that? Cause in Witcher 3, no matter how many times you die, you can always save right you're standing, so there's never any danger of losing progress, only the danger of having to wait and apply all your buffs and obligatory Quen shield

This post was made by a proper shill.

>you can turn off the markers on map and minimap and follow natural points of interest, the map was made with that intention in mind
Wrong. You always have to rely on markers because no one ever gives you real directions.
>by doing this you increase difficulty by not 100% everything and actually having lack of money through the game
Wrong. I played the game on DM with POIs off and never needed money for anything other than Runewright's last 2 upgrades. By the end of HoS I got enough for those and then some as well.
>Death March actually stays challenging
Loving Every Laugh. Vanilla game becomes a joke once you hit lvl 15-20 or so. No matter which build you go with, you become so OP you can easily fuck up monsters 10 levels higher than you. DM also makes no sense: shirtless bandit in B&W can kill you in 3 hits, but you have to hit them 20 times.
>not every quest is a "use your batman senses" bullshit
Not every, but 98% are. Not even TW3 fanboys defend batman senses anymore, get on with times shill.

How much are polacks paying you?

Disinformation: The Post.

Shill already can't find an argument one reply in? You guys were doing a much better job 2 years ago.

Come on, shilly, try and disprove those.
Pro-tip: you can't because that's exactly how the game works.

because the crap you mentioned is 10% of the game at most and 100% avoidable if you hate it. yet W3 haters obsessively cling to it

it's the best game that came out in the last decade

>Loving Every Laugh. Vanilla game becomes a joke once you hit lvl 15-20 or so. No matter which build you go with, you become so OP you can easily fuck up monsters 10 levels higher than you. DM also makes no sense: shirtless bandit in B&W can kill you in 3 hits, but you have to hit them 20 times.

First you say that DM is too easy, but the piss your pants saying you can't beat humans in no less than 20 hits. Have you tried not hitting their shields, or not getting parried? Have you tired doing anything but spamming light attack?

You are obviously baiting, no point wasting my time with you furthermore.

Great another one of these threads. Botw is trash compared to the witcher just learn to deal with it OP

Just enjoy the game faggots. It's much better than any American """"RPG""""

Let me guess, you think the original Thief games and Oblivion are your examples of 'da perfukt video gam mastapiecus'

Thief I and II are much better than Witcher 3 though you taffer.
The Sword is pure kino.

HOLY SHIT
That's what the white bar is? I never figured out what the fuck it's supposed to be. Thank you for inadvertently solving a mystery for me

Never change, nostalgiafags

Literally beat The Dark Project a week ago for the first time, aside from Thieve's Guilds the game is a masterpiece of game design and lets you the player tackle the obstacles by interacting with the games systems in place.

>brandead damage sponges make DM challenging
>u-ur just playing it wrong
???
Had a brain aneurysm there, buddy? And how does that excuse bandits that make no sense? What about enemy upscaling option that turns rats into killing machines that deal over 1k damage per bite? That's some quality polack balance and attention to detail.
Also, why wouldn't you just spam light attack on enemies if IT JUST WORKS? Bandits? Spam light attack until parried, backstep, repeat. Draconid or griffin? Sidestep, then light or heavy attack. Though there's always this backstep + heavy attack spam wins anything any day.
Not even going to mention Whirl, that shit is so broken it's hilarious.

>You are obviously baiting, no point wasting my time with you furthermore.
And here he's throwing in the towel already. GG no re shilly
>no arguments
>hurrr, name what games you like so I could call them shit
My GOAT is original X-Com, good luck.
New Vegas was more of a masterpiece than TW3, with all its bugs and cuts. Because unlike TW3 Obsidian didn't try to fit 2 games into one or fell into generic open world checklist hole.
Oblivion had more memorable quests than TW3, sorry kid.

The games you like are shit, kid

when i game is perfect faggots have to cling to inconsequential avoidable shit to have at least something to whine about: see FF12 and gambits

fuck this guy have a point im no longer want to play this game.
FUCK YOU I HATE YOU

I love the lack of arguments from Witcherfags

What's funny is they try to act like the victim when they come under fire when it was them who were up in everybody's faces ever since Witcher 3 released heralding it as the GOAT, spamming Goty pics in other generals in /vg/ and derailing threads about other games to shill their mediocre shit.

>brandead damage sponges make DM challenging

You didn't understand anything.

>What about enemy upscaling option that turns rats into killing machines that deal over 1k damage per bite?

This isn't darksouls buddy, there are no rat enemies ingame. Can't doge a "rat", or what? Are you just shit?

Also, you complain that LA work, but than also complain that the enemies are sponges. Wut?

I'd tell you to make up your mind, but you obviously nothing better to do.

somebody stop him !

>TW3
>perfect
Explain everything after Kaer Morhen defense then. I'll wait.

What is the point of these threads? To try and retroactively change the minds of people who already bought and liked these games or maybe just have a circlejerk with the other contrarian minority to validate your own views?

>Oblivion had more memorable quests than TW3,
This is just pure nonsense. Not that the whole post is more than the most basic deflection a la "just do x nigger its easy"

>reeeeee stop I'M THE VICTIM

>I'll wait.
Not him, but you dont have to wait long? What do you want to have explained? The story how they finlized their preparations against the Wild Hunt, or what is it?

...

Can u answer the question

>What is the point of these threads?
About 8/10 threads are made by the same guy

>You didn't understand anything.
Explain then. Go on.
>This isn't darksouls buddy, there are no rat enemies ingame.
>there are no rat enemies ingame

So you haven't played the game you defend? Okay.
>HOW DARE YOU SAY THE GAME IS EASY AND COMPAIN ENEMIES ARE POORLY DESIGNED

Epic argument courtesy of Witcher 3 shill.
I bet most people who call TW3 10/10 GOAT never even played TW1/2 that did many things better than 3.

> I bet most people who call TW3 10/10 GOAT never even played TW1/2 that did many things better than 3.

wrong

Case in point.

you made assumptions about witcher players, got told by a witcher player you are talking out your ass. play stupid games win stupid prizes

Witcher 3 is definitely better than 1 & 2. The first games were great, but 3 is better.
Also I like how you're implying that saying 'Witcher 3 has better quests than oblivion' is somehow less valid than you saying 'Oblivion has better quests than Witcher 3'

Wait. You mean to say you were BTFO by the those tiny fuckers in "Now or Never"? Those rats? Well holy shit.

You either suck massive balls, or shill terribly, since that was patched long ago.

>HOW DARE YOU SAY THE GAME IS EASY AND COMPAIN ENEMIES ARE POORLY DESIGNED
Not sure if serious or you're just too stupid to understand that difficulty != balance != game design

Also, again, you make no sense. From this point I am going to name you doublethink, since that is what you're good at.

I actually turned off the mini map altogether and played on hard mode due to how much people were complaining about it for my first playthrough and it really added to the game. Looking for signs of a village on screen like some smoke from a chimney, or a field or something, was brilliantly immersive. The level designers really thought out how villages need to work, so aside from checking the pause menu map to see what general direction I needed to go, I could just navigate by sight.

The only times it became a pain was when it came to finding stray monster nests or camps off in the woods somewhere, but it was a fair tradeoff.

he was talking about the mice in a tower of mice. you need to be an abomination of a player to get killed by any of those

>tower of mice.
Ah, that one. I really thought he meant something like monstrous rats. It says much if you consider rats enemies in TW3.

What RPGs are better than this then?

...

You wouldn't like them, they don't hold your hand.

too be fair on death march a group of rats can fuck you up in seconds

...

Fine with no hand holding, what would you recommend that has a good plot and a good world that is an engaging?

I didn't think you'd want that kind of thing, I mean they don't even have Eagle Vision. Are you sure you're not already satisfied with the Wild Hunt?

TW3 main story is a rushed, unfocused and painfully unfinished mess. Gotta say thanks to open world meme for that.
TW1 also did the whole Witcher thing much better than 3. TW3 world doesn't even feel like Witcher universe, it's too grimdark for the sake of being grimdark, majority of quests have either ends up with people dying or with classic GOTCHA SOMEONE YOU DIDN'T EXPECT DIES. Witcher is not GoT, yet CDPR couldn't resist appealing to memethrones fanbase due to its popularity. But at least they understood their errors with B&W.

Talking about open world, CDPR steps on the same rakes as other RPGs that Sup Forums shits on, yet no one ever mentions it
>Fallout 3 comes out
>Sup Forums shit on how you have to find ur da, but get distracted by side shit for months and that "ruins the pacing"

Are you just pretending to be retarded or are you natural?

"Hey, if you don't like this game, show us an example of a game you like more than TW3"
>Uhh..Uhh... SORRY! YOU AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY THOSE GAMES! YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!

You still haven't named anything.

I don't understand what you mean, user.

>about witcher players
Excuse me? If that a new "gamer" or something? I played all 3 games, am I a "witcher player", or not good enough to be considered one?

I was jokingly implying that you can't even name a game better than TW3
Now recommend a better RPG, this is your chance to open the eyes to us witchercucks

There's no point since no RPG can surpass the Witcher 3.

Talking about retards who can't read.

Deus Ex
VtM:B
Vagrant Story
Gothic II Gold

>muh plot

user I think you have the wrong impression.

>Witcher 3 shills can't even read
As expected. After all, who else would call a game made for modern ""gamers"" without any attention span best game of the decade?

Just think for a minute that few people are so butthurt 2 years after release that they still spam disinformation and paste in every Witcher 3 thread.

Nice non-argument you got there.

Dude, gotta open the eyes of the people about the game that was bought by millions and universally praised as the best RPG of this generation
If they don't, WHO WILL?
