We will never see a new Adventure with Geralt again

Got W3 for Christmas. What am I in for?

The open world design is literally ubisoft-tier in its filler and POI spam, and is further destroyed by...
...the loot system, which destroys any incentive for exploration. The weapons you find are worse than witcher gear you obtained 10 levels ago, and you get witcher gear from quests anyway so its not like you have to go hunting for them.
Money holds practically no value whatsoever, and the only loot you find thats useful is alchemy ingredients. Which would be fine if...
...the combat system wasn't so barebones and bland. Throughout your 150+ hour adventure, you use one moveset, 5 bland spells, a crossbow, some bombs and optional potions. The enemy and boss design is so generic and boring though, that using all that hify shit like potions and decoction is pretty much pointless. The biggest strategy is just to mash light attack twice, backhop, and repeat. A large majority of the enemies follow this mentality, and it never truly evolves into anything more meaningful. Why does Djikstra have the same moveset as a wild hunt warrior you fight with Keira?
The game even reskins and recycles enemies in paid DLC, and then dares to call them new ones with new beastiry entries.
The quest design is made for literal braindead children who can't think for themselves. Its obnoxiously yawn inducing because the "investigations" you do are practically you just walking around in circles and spamming X so geralt can shove some more exposition down your throat. It lacks depth, challenge, player activity and more than anything else, longevity. It never evolves into anything more unique or interesting, and it persists through the ENTIRE 150+ hours.
The main quest is basically super mario in poland, where Geralt goes around picking flowers, herding goats and helping every bum under the sun just so he can get the usual message that "nah bro, I don't know shit senpai"

Skellige is wasted potential at best, and the game rushes to its conclusion way too fast after Kaer Morhen. Novigrad and Velen use up a massive portion of time, and the entire point of those areas boils down to "your ciri is in another area that requires you to go through like 20 boring side missions before anything substantial happens"
The story sets up its stakes way too high, and thus makes side content break immersion to a major degree. Theres no reason why Geralt would go around killing nekkers for pennies when the literal end of the world was around the corner.
Speaking of which, the white frost, ciris powers and all of culminating at the same time is some of the most cringe inducing shit I've ever seen. Ciri can hop between time and space because "its in her blood lmao" and the white frost is just a prophecy of "dude lmao if it happens we all die lmaooooo"
Then at the end when you defeat Eredin (who is the most bland fucking villain I've ever seen, he has less lines than reskinned shopkeepers in Velen), the white frost just suddenly comes at the same exact time and Ciri defeats it somehow and everythings awesome and then yay the game ends.
Its rushed as fuck and I lost all my interest in caring about the characters during that arc.
HOS is the best content in the game, but it doesn't fix the gameplay gripes. The story is great however and has the only good antagonist in the entire game.
B&W is fine, but again has the same problems with its open world, quest design, enemy design, and even the main quest.
Overall the game doesn't have a single piece of good gameplay, and the only thing that comes close is the boss fight with Dettlaff.
Its worth experiencing because of things completely unrelated to it being a video game. You would get the same exact experience from just watching it on youtube for fucks sake, and even then it would save you money, time and most of all effort since you wouldn't have to wade through boring filler.

I got it for christmas as well, if you actually do craft stuff and do alchemy, the game is so fucking immersive, the combat is GOAT for the first 100 hours or so then you might tire. Btw, craft all potions and oils you can since you only need to do it once, they get replenished everytime you meditate if you have some kind of alcohol in your inventory. Also most importantly play on the hardest difficulty Death March, the game is very easy otherwise and you'll just rush through a lot of the fun combat sequences without much thought, have fun playing the best game this decade Sup Forumsro :)

good, let him rest.

The chance of them never making another witcher game is literally zero. It'll just be in 10 years after they finish cyberpunk.
There's also the new tv series.

I found it boring. I'm not trying to kill your buzz by saying that. But that's what it felt like when I played it. Boring story, boring gameplay, boring environments. Just boring

Triss is the choice of wish fulfilling. She enables you, she doesn't challenge you. It's all about you. It's a frail, hollow choice. She just wants fun, she just wants to enjoy life. She is appealing on a pretense of liberation. But you have different goals. She may care about Ciri but she's far from concerned about recovering her, and pretty much all of her objectives are a ultimately a distraction.
Yen is extremely grounded. She may be a bitch, but you're an asshole. She accepts you, but doesn't make exceptions for you. And that's challenging. Too challenging for people who are trying to live out escapist fantasy away from anything remotely complex. But in the end Geralt and Yen get each other. They have compatible interests and they're both best together and are much more suited to problem solving in tandem.
When you work with Triss, by and large it's you doing favors. But with Yen, she sets out to do something and tackles problems head on with just as much initiative as Geralt.
Triss is the "perfect girl" because she presents an uncomplicated and carefree life. Yen is perfect for Geralt because she presents an ultimate goal you two can share.
People who choose Triss are far more likely to miss out on that person perfect for themselves, because they're not seeking out a person who matches you and complements you, someone who actualizes you. They're seeking someone who compliments you for nothing and doesn't get in your way but doesn't actualize you.

Triss appears as not a thot but is thot. Yen appears as a thot but not a thot.

fuck off with your negroid speak

That's a funny way of saying sadistic turbocunt.

TW3 had GOAT ambient music. The White Orchard theme makes me nostalgic for a game that came out only fucking 2 years ago. Still, 2015 was a happier time.

What happened bro?

2015 was when I was still in school and had lots of friends. Now that it's done, I've basically lost most of my friends since all went their own separate ways, many moved to a different city etc. Feels lonely man.

Geralt was such an autist. Someone put the mind of a Sup Forumsirgin in him.

This is common. Usually people will find other friends. Still, I am 27 and since I finished school I didn't make a single friend. Had some girlfriends tho. Hope things will go better with you.
