Anyone have trouble getting into Witcher 3 because of the
lame combat system? I actually prefer Skyrims first person combat
to W3s. I guess the game's worth it if you can get over it but it's
such a huge part of the game I don't know if I can.

its not that bad is it? what's your problem with it?

Yeah me, I love the story and shit but the combat is meh, I think it try's too much and ends up being hollow

it's half the reason I quit. the other half being a really poorly thought out "open world" which actively discouraged exploration.

can't really say it's better than Skyrim. that game was only marginally fun because stealth archers. if I had to play melee all the time I would've dropped that too.

I've never really liked the Batman/Asscreed combat in the first place. Oddly enough I thought Black Flag was amazing.

Geralts movement is a bit "too fast" I guess? When he turns
around and runs around and stuff. Also I don't think you can
change the FOV can you? The reason I refunded Just Cause 3, godawful unchangeable FOV.

I really liked it... it had cool elements added to it through the items you could use and playing as Siri was like getting a blow job in the middle of sex.

Skyrim babby

couldnt play this trash for more than 2 hrs. Completely unchallenging shit fest

you can mod it to change the fov.

Not only yht lame combat system.
It's also the non-existent level-design, the shitty ennemy variety, the long-ass boring quests (both main and sidequest)...

It was a 3/10 at best.

I liked the game but the combat is definitely mediocre and if you do lots of sidequests (not even all of them) you almost always end up being overleveled.

So between the balancing and the combat I definitely enjoyed it less than 1 and 2. Although to be fair, I'm not exactly big on open world games so I might be biased.

Witcher 3 is a garbage game.

The combat plays more like a poor man Dark Souls than batman/AC

It's not that bad in itself, but the levelling system makes it too easy very quickly and the IA is broken.

If you like atmosphere it's an amazing game, shame they decided to work with ciri this time

I agree.
I hated TW2 already for its endless rolling and Geralt being a little bitch.

TW1 was the most enjoyable to play, the most immersive and most open-ended title in the series. AKA, the only good game.

The only thing Witcher 3 and Skyrim have in common is an open world and a fantasy setting. I agree that the combat is pretty meh, but I think that it's still a lot better than Skyrim's

You really can't compare Skyim and Witcher 3, nobody plays Skyrim for the writing while literally everyone plays the witcher for the writing

>skyrim combat better than anything

Witcher 1 had it the best.

>I actually prefer Skyrims first person combat
the combat sucks, but you're a subhuman

OP, play on HARD mode + ENEMY SCALING ON !
I am lvl 10 and even a pack of wolves is dangerous now because no monster is bellow my lvl now.
So I get more engaged to use everything, oils, food to heal, etc.

>MUH realism, Y R WOLVES SO TOUGH
Don't give a shit. Makes the game and immersion better.

W2 has probably the worst UI i've seen in any game. Even Skyrim was better.

I mean come on dude That's just an unfair comparison

Neo Sup Forums in bound

It's fun on hardest mode where you need to pick your battles and fully prepare for most of them, and be super careful and know the ins and outs of it to win.

But that only lasts for like half the game, then you become OP and win everything anyway

>getting 20fps with that shit

>Screenshot from the tutorial area
>Whines he can't get into it when he has not even started the game

So many fucking kids nowadays.

Didn't realise the combat changed after you got past a certain point in the game.

Fuck off retard.

The biggest problem with The Witcher 3 is how bland and sterile it's giant cardboard map is.

Soon enough you will realize that there is nothing to interact in the map and that it's there just as space between points A and B.

Sidequests are nothing interesting if you are not lucky to be in that one big sidequest that is actually well written.

The batman vision "follow the red dots" sidequests get really old after the #1,928,192,819,289 one.

At around half way it you will either drop it completely or power through the main story just to finish it.

How about you fuck off because here's the truth:
1) You judge a combat system before you are even able to get used to it. Tons of people start playing the game thinking it's clumsy, yet at the end of the game say it's alright.
2) You judge a combat system before you even explore it, before you even see what kind of enemies there are designed around it, what kind of skills you can get and so on.

Witcher 3's combat is nothing amazing, but whining about it before you even get through the fucking tutorial basically means you are a baboon with AD/HD and little experience with vidya.

Why even bother playing the game with the graphics that low?

Looks old school. I dig it.

Jokes on you I finished the game and it didn't change one bit.

The combat system is more fun and more challenging than Skyrim. People who prefer Dark Souls combat have to be trolling too, it's boring shit compared to the one in Witcher 3

Maybe try playing on hardest difficulty and actually using skill points next time.

>I actually prefer Skyrims first person combat
is this another b8 thread? no game has worse combat than shitrim

no the combat is fucking shit and the story is fucking stupid, all over the place, lacks structure point and it's full of plotholes

the only reason to play the game is that it makes a good walking simulator, but it's not even good for that as every 1 minute you're attacked by trash mobs and the music goes from comfy to LAYLAYLE

But that's boring and in no way avoiding a fundamental issue.

really fucking good post

I struggled with the sponginess of the enemies. Even on the easiest difficulty, lots of enemies have more HP than is absolutely necessary.

Here's a protip; developers. If an enemy isn't a boss and takes more than 4-5 hits at the appropriate level and equipment sets, it's too spongy. The same rule applies to your character as long as it isn't built to be a tank, and tanks should only take about double the punishment. Casters should take about half.

This post was therapeutic for me, hated witcher 3, the second was acceptable gameplaywise

samefagging isn't good for you, shitposter kun

combat is pretty unchallenging once you realize it's pretty much a glorified QTE, or if you play with signs you can oneshot 95% of the game's enemies and use igni to 3-shot most of the remaining 5%

Sadly this is the perfect review of the game.

Otherwise funny and accurate parody, but no one actually uses autorun. At least I hope not.

It's a pretty game, but story wise, gameplay wise, videogamey wise, it's shit

it's a game you play when you have nothing better to do, but it's not really entertaining or anything

Is this image supposed to be showing SJW injections in the game or something?

>o...ok

>this is accurate as all fuck

Dumbass. Play COD.

its shit

play the superior game

>I actually prefer Skyrims first person combat

the combat's fiiiiiiine

Except there is no issue. Just because you personally didn't like the game is really inconsequential because plenty of other people did.

y-yeah, what fucking casuals if they do haha

Skyrim was basic as fuck but it was never bad, bog standard combat is better then the trash witcher 3 had

yeah its retarded how everything is so slow but at the same time these cunts have infinite block making the fight a slogfest.
Is there any mod that overhauls combat?

Goddamn just compare something like Jedi Academy to this fucking garbage

I never said I didn't like the game. The combat is just lacking and mundane. Trying to make it more difficult for yourself does not make it fun in any way, shape or form.

Skyrim is better because it's actually fun to explore random places in the world. Fallout 4 is even better at it.

Witcher 3 open world aesthetically and by scale is probably the best open world made. However the gameplay design around it is piss poor, never realizing the potential.

For example if you go anywhere but south when you're dropped in the open world you run into level locked areas...and by the time you're done with the main quest and come back everything is easy. You go into a cave or point of interest and there's no item you can equip or use because the best items in the game are the witcher sets.

>Jedi academy has good combat

Should I play The Witcher with Controller or K&M

>he thinks I'm going to take the opinion of someone who plays on Minecraft mode graphics at 22 FPS seriously

No shit the combat sucks when youre playing it like a slideshow.

>jedi academy spastically jumping around with zero impact on hits
>good

>I actually prefer Skyri-
Lmao stopped right there. Fucking idiot.

>no option to mock any of these people

thats what bothered me, especially that faggot who like florian.

>boring shit compared to the one in Witcher 3

If you don't use back all the different types of swings you can do it is. Aka if you don't know how to play

This board is doomed.

>leaving the bread crumbs on

just contrary fucks talking to themselves ITT
try playing some good old RPGs and check out their combat systems you cunts

I just used my console command to help me instakill human mobs, combat is actually ok when going against Monsters.

>Skyrim is better because it's actually fun to explore random places in the world

No.

Skellige > Skyrim
Velen > Civil War
Novigrad > Every "city" in Skyrim

Every peasant's corpse in Witcher 3 has a story behind it. Every bandit camp and cave in Skyrim's the same.

Not him but the game didn't draw me in for long enough to learn otherwise and since that seems to be pretty much all there is to the game I couldn't be bothered.

It's understandable but he is right tho. There isn't much to dark souls or TW3 other than combat( unless you count Gwent ) but dark souls pulls off the combat a lot better than the Witcher 3.

Yeah I have the same feeling about it. It's like 'okay go over here talk to this dude, okay, now go alllllll the way over to these three places and then turn on witcher sense, follow footprints, hack hack dodge until dead and then go alllllll the way back for an inconsequential amount of crowns'.

Fucking horse stops dead, in the most infuriating way, at every fucking bridge/change in height on the map. Going anywhere takes ages. The wilderness is not full of cool stuff and fun to explore.

The game is padded out to all fuck to take an arbitrarily long time to do any quest. Not to mention to dialogue. Every single conversation is twice too long.

And level scaling gear is FUCKING SHIT. Oh cool I explore a really dangerous place and get some sweet witcher gear and and upgrade schematic. Oh cool now I can't wear any of it until I get another 10 fucking levels and it's totally redundant because I can fuck everything up butt naked anyway.

This shit, too. Fucking questline human enemies just being super tanked up HP versions of all the other shitty spacker human fighters.
Got really lame just hacking the shit out of two or three guys about 30 times before they died.
How about make them actually skilled fighters instead of just pumping their HP up to insane levels?

>Every single conversation is twice too long.

>press space to skip
>pick the yellow options
Also if you don't care about dialog, then you probably shouldn't be playing a dialog driven game.

I'm at Kaer Morhen and haven't experienced damage sponge human enemies that take 30 hits to kill yet.

Pro tip: if you press 'I' it takes you to your inventory, where you can equip stronger weapons by right clicking on the weapon that you want. Equipping stronger weapons lets you kill things in less hits. I know, the game does a pretty bad job of showing you how to do this, but I think most people figured it out regardless.

>Batman/Asscreed combat
wtf are you talking about TW3 combat is nothing like banham combat.

TW£ combat is actually very good, hating it is a meme.
The only real gripe people have ever mentioned is the forced soft lock, which can be remedied by hard locking

The Witcher has writing and exploration. I thought Souls and Bloodborne may have exploration as well but they're mostly hallways in which you'll die and repeatedly go through the same area so many times that each region quickly loses whatever novelty it had.

>arkane and bethesda now under the same publisher
>bethesda doesnt ask arkane to fix their lame combat system in elder scrolls game

why tho?

fucking this

The only "damage" sponge enemies are golems that are twice your level, and my only problem with them was they can't bleed and I was a cat/light attack/bleed build so it took a while.

Playing on hard mode...

Ah yes! I will repeat an argument about hard mode in witcher 3 an user posted weeks earlier.

It's like eating a shitty steak with a plastic knife. It just takes longer to eat.


turn it down to easy and plow through it for the story

>elder scrolls world with might and magic gameplay

DELETE THIS

might and magic is real time blobber, you mean messiah

Its VERY disturbing if you really believe there is no issue.

Not a good sign for the future of game design.

The combat is whatever.

I'm just tired of " follow quest marker to win the game " being the entirety of video games.

its obviously dumbed down for consoles so use a controller.

best post in the whole thread

oh you're right, my bad

>Hating it is a meme

Finished and loved the game but how can you think that? It was literally mash X,X,X, and Y before casting some useless spell.

Actual genuine RPG exploration is a forgotten thing.

I mean jesus christ did anyone actually play this game with the full HUD on as default? It looks like that joke image from years ago with all the useless clutter on the HUD.

First thing I fucking did with W3 was download a mod specifically to get rid of the fucking HUD and still make the game functional because you can't fucking find your way anywhere without that cunting thing on given that the map takes so long to open.

I long for a game in which you actually have to navigate yourself and explore a gameworld to find things and advance instead of just having a fucking obnoxious HUD covered in blips and blobs dictate your every move.

I loved the game and I'm still laughing my ass off at how accurate this is.

keked but I still have 300 hours innit

dark messiah* bro. try it sometime.

>AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Can hear it beautifully.

even on medium the game is kicking my ass.
im stuck on a save point with low health, no healing items and have to go through combat in order to proceed which is fucking impossible.
really dont want to boot the game up again.

xd

>hurr i dont have le wizar magic le goblin le EDGY COMBAT STYLE LE EDGY LE COMPLEX LE RPG LE DND HURRR LE FAT NECKBEARD HIW DARE THEY MAKE THE COMBAT SIMPLE AND FUN HURRRRRRR LE WITCHER WEBM HURRRR!!!!
