Best game of the last 5 years?

easy mode

Agreed. Bloodborne babies need not apply

that said bloodborne is close. I've been playing that too and it's close but witcher 3 is an all time game

>have about 80 hrs in Witcher 3
>farthest I've gotten is early Novigrad quests
>keep restarting
>can't keep my interest, get sidetracked by Ubisoft open world shit
>miss linearity of Witcher 1 and 2

I am probably the only one on the planet that thinks W3 is worst in the series because it is open world

Doesn't TW3 have like over 200 goty awards now

if you seriously think bloodborne or witcher 3 are the best games of the last 5 years you need to play more games

I made this thread to bait people into proving me wrong and giving me good suggestings of games to play

desu

name better ones

Too bad The Last of US came out in 2013.

subnautica
zelda botw
stardew valley
bayonetta 2
resident evil 7

of course it's another nintenbro shitting up the thread. Who would have thought.

the thread was shit to begin with

...

>Jap crap
Begone, fag.

It is. Witcher series was never about exploration and fighting.

...

You can play through the entire game without exploring or playing side quests which are literally optional. Witcher 3 is simply the best in the series.

...

gotta disagree with subnautica
>no incentive to build a base after getting cyclops
>game loads in chunks
>no late game goals
>no map
>can't kill enemies
i've only got like 20 hours in this game too

>I am probably the only one on the planet that thinks W3 is worst in the series because it is open world

I actually think that's the general concensus on some level. Open World doesn't really ADD much to Witcher 3 beyond immersion and, as both expansions shwed, CDPR is still at their best when making tighter narrative experiences. Witcher 3 simply showed you can have good stories and open world at the same time.

Life is Strange
Horizon Zero Dawn
Uncharted 4

Depends. Best RPG in particular is a difficult pick because they're so varied. Shit, CRPG alone would be difficult because we got so many of them and most are at least alright.

>barely interactive movie
>game

>life is strange

Like, totes.

Only japs make good games now anyway.

Want t

official witcher 3 review.

all non-quest related things you can find on the world are copy paste boring shit
no one will talk to you unless they are quest related and you have the quest that requires them
awful ui made for consoles and only 2 consumable slots, making alch spec a chore
no resource management, you just instantly get all your potions back for whats essentiallly free
enemys have 1, maybe 2, attack that they repeat over and over, making fights absolutely boring after an hour
level system only works to the games detriment, as youll quickly outlevel everything you have to do and it will all be easier than the game already is
coming across a SKULL WARNING SIGN monster should be exciting but it's not, because you know it fights exactly the same as all the others of its kind, only with more hp.
"cinematic" controls that ignore accuracy in favor of looking more natural
even death march is easy as fuck due to a lack of enemy attack variety and every ability you can spec into being way too strong
ciri sections are boring and unneeded and only serve to rob you of what could have been the one interesting boss fight in the game.
the final moments of the story seem rushed as fuck, from oh hi crones now we fight, to im eredin i have a secret, im dying my secret is this guy tricked us and i had no plan to deal with it, to oh actually geralt i didnt trick you
majority of loot is randomized and scales to your level. Nothing you find really excites you.
all enemies have an extremely short tether that you will cross unintentionally more often than not. At this point they ignore you and start walking back to the center of the area or hang around to get hit easily
witcher senses are only ever used when the quest requires it and is just hold right click to follow quest arrow. you cant actually track monsters or anything out in the world(and why would you need to? theyre all tethered to a small location and never move away)

6/10 game. Had potential, wasted it.

Speaking of which should I hold off until I get the expansion(s)?

what makes it really good is the world and the writing. characters are believable.

Strangest thing is the most I was ever excited to find were formulae. Problem is game is clearly built for Witcher sets in mind and after level 11 or so you can just keep replacing those and ignore regular gear. Maybe once in a while you find a good sword you want to use, but that's it.

the game dishonored desperately wishes it was.

stop being autistic

Dishonored's problem is you can see where game concept had to compromised in order to get the funding aka appeal to widestream audience. Styx was apparently content aiming for actual stealth fans.

That's not Breath Of The Wild though. Why do you continue this charade of denial?

That's all well and fine. However they marketed it as the second coming of Thief and that was blatantly untrue.

The only reason I can think people rate this game so high is because it has good graphics and good looking cutscenes

and cute girls

the game is refined as fuck. side quests are actually interesting and main story tier compared to other games, not just fetch shit. even the witcher contracts have unique stories. the combat system is really good as well compared to shit like skyrim but it's way too easy in the end game, argument could be made that you're a a master witcher so the enemy plebs should be easy.

I feel so boring for actually thinking Witcher 3, Bloodborne and BotW are the best games I’ve played this gen. Maybe I am missing out on recent games?

The first two almost capture that style of atmosphere you’d find in Salker, VTMB and majora’s Mask. Walking into a village on a windy night and listening to ghost stories is exactly the type of thing I’m into, I couldn’t care about what the combat was like.

>le awards matter if it fits my narrative meme


The best game of the past 5 years is Cuphead, easy. Amazing art direction, solid gameplay (almost perfect except for some RNG heavy bosses), brought to the surface a lot of needed discussion about difficulty and accessibility of games.

>Cuphead
No. It's 7/10 game. Too simplistic, very easy too learn and progress since each boss has like 2-3 attacks

You aren't even past the honeymoon phase with cuphead. Let it stew for a little longer.

Game play isn't everything user...
