Why does Sup Forums hate this game?

Why does Sup Forums hate this game?

We don't.

Too popular. Formerly exclusive series turned multiplat.

It was pretty high on Sup Forums's top 100 RPG list.

What? It’s literally the best game in the last 10 years

because everyone else likes it now

I do and I'm here. That means' Sup Forums hates it.

This

Because Sup Forums thinks they are this exclusive elite club with great taste in video games. So anything rewlly popular get met with hate.

I want to retract my original comment now that people are liking it. In fact, my original comment is shit now.

Good story and good graphic.
Garbage gameplay and unskippable cutscenes.

I think it's a great game, I just think it's insanely overrated.

Name five games with better graphics

>good story

Nah, Witcher 3 has good characters. The story itself is fucking trash.

We do sorry, I'm pretty sure the majority of v hates it.

combat is boring garbage. constant dialog and don't give a shit about geraldo or whatever the fuck his gay ass name is. the game trailers though 10/10

...

...

drowners™

hipster fucking faggots

One of the few cases where the DLC blows the fuck out of the main game.

i enjoyed it

Who would win?

too much hand holding
no exploration
shit story
shit characters
repetitive quests

Hate is a really strong word. I wouldn't say I even disliked it, I do have like 180 hours in the thing. However I think it is grossly overpraised at times, and I am more than willing to accept the myriad of flaws the game has. The biggest issues being a fairly empty openworld with severely disconnected areas. Putting level 25 monster dens right next to the level 3 monster cave is just bad design, forcing you to constantly revisit areas of the world to clear out the millions of "?"s scattered around. And this is made even worse when the loot in those areas is 9/10 times worthless trash, materials, or weapons you will not use because the set weapons/armor is so objectively superior, meaning you do away with the concept of gear entirely by the time you hit like level 12 and it turns into a game of just trying to find the upgrades to your specific witcher school's gear. (which is really the sole reason you explore the ?'s, assuming you don't just cheat and look up where the pieces are.) Skellige is even worse for this because half the locations are underwater, so your choices become "Sail around in a boring, lifeless ocean for 2-3 hours clearing out caches of worthless shit and money, or ignore that entire aspect of the game". On top of that, the combat feels a bit lifeless and floaty at times, but that's more preference than fact. Personally I didn't mind the repetition since that's par for the course in an open world game, but I can easily see how some people would find it boring to mash basically the same attack combo for tens of hours. Beyond that though, the story and voiceacting is fantastic, the locations are well designed, the music is great, the gameplay is engaging, fucking love Gwent, and I want to fuck the surrogate daughter. 8/10 game easily.

shit tier combat
"follow the red trail" gameplay

the game needed more humor actually...it gets boring because of the lack of funny dialogues.

Because its generic open world shit with no gameplay to show for it just like Botw.

It's a good game but worse than its predecessors despite being way more polished. You need to play other, better games including the prequels if you think this game is GOAT or game of the decade level of good. It's very long, and in the time it takes to complete the game along with half the side quests, you could have been playing way better games.

>people unironically think W3 open world is better than BotW

>go to ?
>Dead body with letter
>Reads "This is my last job. I promise. Then im coming home to you my love and our newborn baby. And our crippled dog with cancer. We'll be a happy family I love you forever see you soon xoxo"

This hit me in the feels the first time you see it. Then it happens 100 more times.

Also the combat is shit

>people unironically play zelda

At some point the no win scenarios kinda got repetitive
>Save this guy from drowners, only to meet him later and learning he's become a bandit and killing refugees
>Murder some bandit scum to save a merchant and learn that he was robbing to provide for his family
>Save some guy from suffocating under a pile of bodies but then have to kill him later because he's caught the plague

Becasue in 2015 it overshadowed and rekt the fuck out of From's "masterpiece" they attempted (and still attempt) to shill it is.

DXMD, Hunter Call of the Wild, Nioh, Doom, For Honor

>BoTW
>No gameplay

You're retarded. There's so much you can do in BoTW. Several different weapons, lots of magic powers, elemental effects, so many different ways to approach an encounter.

You lacking imagination isnt a lack of content.

>now
Everyone liked TW3 from the get go.

A genuinely good copypasta.
It tells the guy really paid attention to the game and didn't just parrot Sup Forums opinions.

It's legitimately one of the only things that has ever made me laugh on Sup Forums in months.

This. It went to consoles so Sup Forums turned against it.

Its not perfect but it is fucking excellent all things considered.

Sup Forums is just contrarian as fuck because this place is filled with edgy anti-social high schoolers and old autists

Because literally everyone loves it

I grew to hate it because so many faggots on this site were praising it's flashy garbage attacks as good gameplay. I have no other gripes with the game though.

Because Sup Forums hates everything that's popular. And because most people suck it's dick without acknowledging the bad things about it.

B-But I recognize its flaws and yet Sup Forums won't allow me to like it ;_;

You can hate on BoTW all you want but to say it has no gameplay is just so beyond categorically false to become laughable.

Seriously, kys.

Confirmed this.
Wide-spread acclaim is too strong a bait for contrarian faglords to start being, well, contrarian faglords.

Horizon

Zero

Dawn

Blood

Borne

Because people here cannot look past a games few flaws if it is well liked by semi-normies because for some reason they cancel out each other. Meanwhile Sup Forums likes shit games because
"I wanna be special, you havent heard of it."

gameplay was utter shit and it took itself way too seriously for my taste.

Because it's fucking boring to play
Combat sucks, the whole plot fucking sucked, Ciri is a shitty character and the only actual interesting thing in the game is fucking writing of sidequests. And plot of Hearts of Stone
The game itself is fucking slog to play, just everything's right in that one DROWNERS GOTTA BE copypasta
Ofc there's some niggers with no taste and actual thoughts who'd say another shit like omg hipster faggot you can't have your own opinion, but whatever fucking niggers

because we're jelly about never getting to fug Geralt

Bad gameplay
Screwed people who played the first two

I agree with this user. Witcher 3 has good characters, quests, art direction, and presentation, but it has a ton of flaws. I especially agree about Ciri, holy fucking christ I hated this fucking cunt.

Hmm gee I dunno.

I love the game but it has obvious flaws

Clunky controls
Bad, repetitive combat (even a step back from W2 somehow)
Menus built for consoles
Pointless question marks on the map. Once you've done a couple you've seen them all.
Imbalanced gear (no reason to use anything other than witcher gear once you get it. swords with triple stunlock runes also break 1v1 combat (stun, stagger and freeze))

...

...

I have no idea why "drowner™" makes me giggle so much

saved

Kill

Yourself

Faggot

He is correct

It's popular.

That's it. If it's popular, it cannot be discussed here.

Still one of the best games ever made though, fuck'em.

how were 1 & 2 better than 3?

1 was mediocre and 2 was a fucking dumpster fire

Nah. Sup Forums doesn't even play the games they really hate (Andromeda, Battlefront II, etc)

Witcher 3 gets a lot of discussion here because it's a very interesting game. Regardless of what you think after playing it for 100+ hours (Like Skyrim).

I like it a lot. I'm playing it because I'm done with Breath of the Wild, W3 doesn't have amazing physics and technology like Zelda but it has really good writing and graphics. Hope you like the game!

this. it's a good game to install on a new PC and benchmark. gwent is shit, all the story once you get to novigrad is shit. combat is meh. the bloody baron storyline and portion of the game is the best thing about it, it's worth playing 30-40 hours but it's not the second coming of jebus in video game form

>game sells like shit and finds a niche fanbase
>Sup Forums praises till the end if times
>game is a success and sells millions
>Sup Forums hates it for the sake of hating something thats popular

it never changes, this place is the most pessimistic shithole ive ever witnessed

yet i cant stop coming here help

Why does everyone who defends Witcher 3 vehemently always gloss over the complaints people have with it. Like saying the "dur hdurr ur just hipster faggots who hate popular things" is a magic wand that waves away all criticisms. It's honestly fucking disgusting.

Nobody fucking cares faglord.

>assassin's creed has better combat

I wonder why people don't like this game.

At the end of the day if your gameplay is shit the whole game suffers, regardless of excelling in other areas.

Tetris will always be better.

>Blood
>Borne
I swear fromfag's ruined this board. These are literally your idiots complaining about the combat because they think they feel Superior. But are actually insecure about all the praise and love The Witcher 3 received.

Nobody hates the game, just the rabidly fanatical fanbase that finds a way to insert it into completely unrelated conversations

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences.

Groupthink requires individuals to avoid raising controversial issues or alternative solutions, and there is loss of individual creativity, uniqueness and independent thinking. The dysfunctional group dynamics of the "ingroup" produces an "illusion of invulnerability" (an inflated certainty that the right decision has been made). Thus the "ingroup" significantly overrates its own abilities in decision-making and significantly underrates the abilities of its opponents (the "outgroup"). Furthermore, groupthink can produce dehumanizing actions against the "outgroup".

only cuck retards that are triggered

The bloody Baron was so good that felt like a bait and switch.

There are a lot of similar tragic sidequests but those are not delivered as good as the Baron one.

Bloody Baron's quest actually covered some real life shit using the supernatural fantasy stuff more as dressing.

The only quest that is as good is Hearts of Stone I think.

>Why does Sup Forums hate this game?
Sup Forums hates everything and anything to the point where they can't enjoy games anymore .
I think it's just how Sup Forums is meant to be .

because it's the truth
>vtmb has terrible combat, animation, it's full of bugs and easy as fuck
Sup Forums loves it
>dark souls combat is literally a merry-go-around, shitty lagfest pvp, nonsensical "story"
Sup Forums loves it
>fallout new vegas had more bugs than klendathu, needs million mods to not look like ass, everything is bulletsponge, terrible area design with large areas full of nothing
Sup Forums loves it
>witcher 3 combat becomes pushover if you use right runes and abilities, uses quest markers like every other game these days and batman vision so not waste hours while searching stuff
Sup Forums bitches constantly

I love the game and I love my waifu

after the bloody baron questline the main story really drops the ball on the pacing, making you do nothing but dumb shit and barely advancing in any meaningful way. Some quests would actually be complete shit if not for the brilliant writing, like the one when you have tu hunt down and talk to all 6 of dandelion's fuck buddies when he goes missing.

It’s a super generic and unoriginal monster name

Niche fantasy turned into normalfag power fantasy

This is the most Sup Forums post I've ever seen. I hate all of you why do I keep coming back to this place

Want to hear a limerick?

Because is the most overrated shit ever created, today is 2018 and there still people who is riding its cock saying shit like ''muh best game ever, we are in 2018 and there are no game who can compete with it'' fucking kys your overrated shit is just a shallow rpg open world game, witcherfags are as obnoxios as soulfags.

So you're saying Sup Forums is hipster faggots that hate popular things and that's why they don't like Witcher. But they love all those other very popular things(dark souls sold 13 million copies, that's anything but obscure.)
You're retarded.

Sure

Lambert, Lambert. What a prick.

Not bad.

dark souls is japanese, that alone shields it from all the criticism here.
dark souls wasn't instant hit, it only became that much much later. it's not that hard to sell millions over the years, especially for -90%. hell, even witcher 1 has sold about 4 millions copies just on steam and no one would call it a hit.

Because it is fun also ONE OF US

>Left

It isn't pessimism. It's straight up retarded.

Its called contrarian you troglodyte.

The Witcher 3 is my favorite game of all time

AMA contrarians

I liked lanky edgy Geralt from TW1.
Why'd they have to go and give him the body type of every other white male in vidya?

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.
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" ..cont

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.

We want the female audience

Also everyone in W1 was a lanky potatoface
