the first two sucks

>Also should I play the first game DLCs?

Nah don't, the first game will probably wear your patience down in and of itself to begin with, towards the end.

I did the same shit last year. 1 is pretty comfy. 2 is completely meh, you may like 3 a lot, but once you're done playing it, you'll probably think back and realize the gameplay wasn't all that good.
All three of these games have absolutely bland gameplay. It's more about the world building and feel. Something about the games is just really captivating.

Also watch the trailers for 2 and 3 before you play them, they're pretty hype.

2 is best, 3 is pretty good, 1 is pretty meh.

I thought 1 was super frustrating. Definitely limited by the tech. 2 is all around ok. I played it when it first came out and loved it but going back it kinda sucked. 3 is super fun but the world building is for sure the highlight of the series where as combat is thoroughly mediocre in my opinion.

They are all such a fantastic games. The atmosphere on all three of them is great.

>Sup Forums doesn't require me to verify my posts anymore

Wtf is this a new thing

>What am in for?
solid 8/10, not the best but still good

You should play all 3, DLC for the first game I haven't touched so idk if it's good.

First game behind it's apparent chunkiness hides the best RPG elements of all three, combat is different but if liked WOW don't be a hypocrite, if not, you wil get used to it.
Notes. Prologue is kind of bad representation of the game as it forces you into immediate action while you are new to the game and may leave you confused. Chapter 1 is one of the most comfiest places of every video game I have ever played. Some don't like it, but ince I live in eastern Europe I can relate to envilroment.
Chapter 2 is grindfest, if I say why I will spoil, but I promise you, if you go through it. Chapte 3 and 4 will reward you. ALso Chapter 4 is as comfy as 1. Chapter 5 and Epilogue are more action oriented and are not as confusing as prologue as you already understand combat.

Withcer 2.... I.. It did not stand out to me as much as First game even through first game is clunky. Second game has really interesting approach to RPG choices though character development and alchemy are completely overhauled. Music is nice, though Music is nice in all 3 games. I mean there are nothing to point out except the story parts which would be spoilers.

And finally babies fist grand story oriented action-RPG the Witcher 3. I don't hate it, in fact I like it. I just hate that it foreshadows previous games without anything standing out except graphics and large world. Story is same continuation, except Heart of Stone DLC which really stands out, Music is good as in every game, and gameplay is meh just like 1 and 2.
I can say a lot of good thing about The Witcher 3 but what's the point? You ar egoing to play it regardles and all I can say enjoy it. Enjoy them all.

Literally fucking awful taste in this thread. One is by far the best.

Hang on wait when the fuck did The Witcher 1 have DLC?

>One is by far the best.
This. Only plebs can't see that.

Maximum comfy

Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 are ultimate comfy.

Idk, how they failed to archive the same feel in villages in Witcher 3.

i had alot of fun play 1 until i was in the swamp and i went around lighting the torches or w/e i can't remember,

any way you shouldn't do that until you get teh quest, otherwise you get bugged. and i didn't have a save that far back to go to. so i stopped right there.

the FAQ i was following *suggested* i could light the torches while i was out there. don't listen to that.

The music is absolute shit. If you download the familiar music mod it brings back the nostalgia

>play Witcher 1
>combat starts
>laugh
>uninstall
I can't take this fucking game seriously.

Retard

Witcher 3 is actually so much more enjoyable if you ignore exploration and just play the main story and side quests. Hearts of Stone is also very good.

Ignore the side quests in 2, they're pretty average. Main story is great though

Compare this Witcher 3 comfy with this Brainlets that can't into Withcer 1 combat no need apply.

>side quests in 2, they're pretty average
Except that one asylum quest in flotsam where two miners/looters go to search treasure or something.

I wasn't implying it was bad, user, just fucking stupid.

t. ex WoW player hypocrite

>ignore large part of the game
>suffer the dread of missing out on things you think could be important
>suffer through the drudgery of fetch quests and identical monster kill sequences to find a gem or two.
>periodically goes back to main story line as to remind oneself of an overarching grand plot that we were supposed to be part of.
>pace is ruined and main questline is now shit because it becomes horridly unrealistic seeing how yennefer has been waiting for a month doing jack all in skellige
>get peer pressured to parrot "Witcher 3 is the best game of the year, any year"
>desperately try to defend it against autists who actually enjoyed their games.

Disappointment

>Idk, how they failed to archive the same feel in villages in Witcher 3.
I thought White Orchard was pretty good, it had that "small village full of little human problems" stuff with the wraith at the well. Nothing measures up to Chapter 4 of TW1, though, but they hadn't forgotten all of it.

What?

What?

exactly.

1) Glorified Aurora module (Neverwinter Nights) with superb branching story where your choice actually affects the events in the coming chapters, with shit combat and everything else.

2) Action-RPG with decent combat, much less meaningful choices, but there are still some. Very few choices really matter and they gives you u have 2 completely different 2nd acts with 2 completely different approaches to the final act. You gotta use every tool given to you if you want to succeed at higher dificulties which is great.

3) Action-"RPG" with much more choice-results than previous two, but they kinda mean a bit less, still much more than in any other mainstream game. RPG system is much more equipment-based, though equipment is not random which makes progression kinda linear depending on where you go. Combat is changed with both pros and cons compared to the previous game. Lower difficulties - you steamroll everything no effort, higher difficulties would still give you not that much of a challenge if you use all your tools. Easier game than 2, but enjoyable none the less.
The best thing about it is that sideconent is not an afterthought and is of compareable quality to the main quest. And there's a great deal of unique sidequests.

>I thought White Orchard was pretty good, it had that "small village full of little human problems" stuff with the wraith at the well.
You are correct. I was thinking now why... and it's probably because since it's the main hub of that part of the map they put a lot of effort. A LOT MORE effort.

In Velen and Novigrad region villages feel like just stop by gas stations where you go to blacksmith repair shit, sell shit and move on unless some quest requires you to stay there and do something else.

Geralt die in the end.

2 DLCs
The price of neutrality is breddy good.
The other one is about bailing out Dandelion, it can get repetitive but it's fun too.

Thus thread has too many fags that never played TW1 and are missing out on the superior atmosphere.
>get drunk
>stumble to the nearest bonfire to sleep it off
>suddenly necrophages
>drunk sword swinging
>sleep 12 hours

It's in one of the books right?

That's the cost of open-world I guess, while White Orchard was more of a TW1/TW2 map size area.

>1) Glorified Aurora module (Neverwinter Nights) with superb branching story where your choice actually affects the events in the coming chapters, with shit combat and everything else.
t. retard that did not even play the game and bases opinions on memes

1>2>3

Geralt (and Yennefer) die in the last book, only for Ciri to intervene with reality and bring them somewhere else, alive. TW1 takes place a few years after that.

Geralt does not die in the games unless you're bad ofc

I played through all of it, and all the DLCs when they came out you retard

Witcher 1 is garbage. I can't tell if the others also are because the first game bored me enough for me to ignore the franchise

Witcher 1: A comfy, atmospheric, rhythm game.

Witcher 2: A Great game. Big step up from the first.

Witcher 3: A Masterpiece. A step up from the second.

i never repaired my stuff, thought its just a waste of money

I haven't read the books, but is Ciri approached by Sapkovski the same way as she is in games?

There was that image that compares her to the Sonic OCs.

I mean all I know is that CDredprojeck butchered Sapkovskis idea of white frost and shit.

>Witcher 1: A comfy, atmospheric, rhythm game.
>Witcher 2: A Great game. Big step up from the first.
>Witcher 3: A Masterpiece. A step up from the second.

i only played witcher 2, it was ok
but, all these stupid rpgs with soap opera level of story, like dragon age, skyrim and witcher, just feel tiresome and boring

>soap opera level of story
>witcher
>morrowind (rest of TES is shit)

Every time someone mention Witcher 1 Chapter 4 someone will reinstall the game.

My pile of shame can wait.

There was nothing incorrect about that comment.
I guess you just really want a [You].

Hello wtf is this...

It's a little hard to say because there's a bit of a timeskip and Ciri's personality is somewhat variable over the course of the books as she experiences stuff. In general though, yes. Ciri is ludicrously overpowered at everything she does and the center of everything that happens. It definitely felt like the same character.

I think people get too angry about the white frost - it's meant to essentially be entropy, and the Aen Elle world is old. It's not unrealistic to weaponize it, or to argue that someone who can literally control time and space across infinite multiverses could halt/distort it to the point of meaninglessness. TW3 just doesn't do a good job of explaining it, and it's because the final act with Avallach is way too fucking short.

Please don't bulle me anymore..

Post your endgame Geralt.

Also if you did not buy Profesors glasses you are either a imbecile or a imbecile that did not play Witcher 1.

>playing NG+
>He keeps the glasses on in all scenes, including the sex scenes
A man of high class
