have a nice day Gankeredditor
>far better than witcher 3
no its not. The witcher 3 is a blockbuster movie. THis one is direct to tv although still good.
>has mature, deep, actually good story
The story is smaller in scale.
Also, no Ciri.
>completely forgotten
Once again, complete BS.
Bump.
>The story is smaller in scale.
>Also, no Ciri.
Sounds like it might be actually better.
Really drops off after flotsam. Also, combat still sucks ass, even though I liked the ideas behind potion use
Last time I tried to play it again I was stuck for ages on the ballista minigame in the prologue. I found out it's some bug that can be bypassed by changing the screen resolution. Too bad I ragequit and uninstalled before I could try it. So, yeah. Buggy shitty mess.
>hfw outplaying everyone
The ui makes it a 5/10
The further they strayed from hackowski, the better Witcher was. W2 had the best story and characters by far. It was actually great gritty Dark Fantasy. It's nonlinearity is amazing too. Lack of Open World is better suited to moviegame they aimed for, because it allowed them to create some really cool locations and setpieces and didn't ruin pacing. Ironically enough Wild Hunt is far better here than in Witcher 3.
Fantasy Rock/Metal music was cool too, but Slavic/Pagan music from W1 and W3 simply fits this series more.
Unfortunately it REEKS of consoleshit. Gameplay and UI is an utter cancer and makes it downright painful to play. Still, all the most memorable scenes from series are from this game.
say whatever you want but god, I'm thinking they're one of the few pretty good storytellers in vidya industry so I can't forgive them for making geralt to wildhunt's slave with no reason and just skipping what he did while he was in the wildhunt, and how the frick did the ciri stop the white frost even though in the novel it was described as a disaster that could never get solved, why? just why??? there're too many plot holes, I'm feeling love and hatred to them for nearly 10 years
Witcher 3 is a good example of a bad plot coupled with good writing and good characters. The bad plot gets carried by the writing and characters

The QTE fight with the big tentacle beast in the first chapter has really tainted my memory of the game.
Filtered
You don't know how to use that word.
Yes I do gaygit, you are like bits of dust in a glass of water. When the water gets poured through a filter you get stuck on it.
You got filtered by tentacles.
This guy is correct. It is one of the most clear examples of a boss being a filter. That boss almost filtered me too, but when I learned the mechanics I won.
It has better level design, artistic direction and atmosphere. Monsters are also tougher so in that sense it is better. Story wise it depends. Personally i never care about political intrigue plots. I just cared about saving Triss. Same is true for Witcher 3 though. I just cared about saving Ciri.
Combat wise i would say 3 is superior as it incorporates parrying, side steps and new alternative ways to use signs. It also incorporates swimming and underwater encounters.
It's good but seriously flawed.
>split storyline
>must meditate to take potions
>introduce adrenalin in the endgame for some reason
>economic system is stacked against you
In theory, having to take potions before fights is kinda cool and immersive, but when you play it for the first time you have no frickin clue how to anticipate when and how long you'll fight
That's why you go to the library and read books about the monsters you are planning on fighting.
Oh, that's for the first game.
Potions were fricking moronic.
>Now only last for small amount of time, like 8 minutes
>Timer can run out during cutscenes or talking and cutscenes and dialogues are often very long in this movie game
Like when you try to ambush Letho with Iorweth. First you have talking with Iorweth, then you walk with him towards Letho, then talk with Letho, then Loredo men and Roche attack Sciotael and only then you get to fight Letho after a cutscene. By this time what you drank almost ran out or will run out
>In order to drink you have to enter janky console ui which plays animation of Geralt slowly sitting, then see Geralt slowly drink potions and then slowly standing up.
And to be honest I don't see why they were even changed, they worked fine in TW1. Potions usually lasted for many hours of ingame time, drinking wasn't as janky and you usually could drink them before battle without a need for save scumming. Because nobody wants to go through Witcher 2 drinking menu to drink potions that will last for few minutes without reason.
it's amazing how such a seemingly minor change managed to shatter the game flow and turn potions into a practically unusable portion of the gameplay.
the long lasting potions in w1 were one of the best gameplay ideas i've ever seen and them being so useful and you actually being able to drink them in preparation did a lot to immerse you into the role of a witcher.
>oh i have to go out into the fields at night to hunt for giant centipedes and devourers? better drink a potion beforehand
>oh i have to go into a cave/crypt? better drink cat.
don't get me started on how horrendous cat looks in w2
what the frick are you even talking about, tw1 & tw2 potion mechanism is almost same
>almost the same
in witcher 1 you may drink in combat and on the spot, in witcher 2 you have to go through an extra menu and meditate out of combat only
a huge difference in flow, you may for example not use any potions as you please when facing a difficult and sudden encounter, you have no way of chugging a potion to reset your potions and start anew or no oh shit button is present in the form of the one decoction
witcher 2 potions are like shitty decoctions/draughts whatever they are called in witcher 3
>their impact
witcher one could let you larp as a mage with the right potions and cheese any encounter with igni, in witcher 2 you get huge benefits like +1 attack (wow) xD
>horrendous cat looks
Yeah, it makes my eyes bleed. They overdid cool factor
This was a nightmare to play after TW1, I felt like being in delyrium. Was nothing like the original and a massive downgrade in all aspects. Railroaded, streamlined, focused on politics instead of monster hunting and folklore, GoT aesthetics instead of original Slavic, just a mainstream Americanized piece of crap everyone already played a dozen times already
>GoT aesthetics instead of original Slavic
Witcher2 came out a month after GoT season1 you fricking moron
One of the worst games I've played.
Combat is terrible, story and dialogs are nonsensical and bad, graphics is burned.
>story and dialogs are nonsensical
Explain
You fricking morons saying this is better than 3 is ultimately how I know you’re nothing more than contrarian homosexuals. I have beaten all 3 games multiple times including 2 on insanity on both paths and I can safely say that it is the worst by a tremendous margin. The only arguably superior part is the visual style, but that doesn’t matter because it looks like shit despite it
>I have beaten all 3 games multiple times including 2 on insanity on both paths and I can safely say that it is the worst by a tremendous margin. The only arguably superior part is the visual style, but that doesn’t matter because it looks like shit despite it
are you fricking moronic motherless orphan or what, witcher 3 has one of the most iconic art style ever made, It's like Rembrandt of vidya
>still worse than Witcher 1
Sasuga
I did not even make it to Witcher 3. I enjoyed Witcher 1. Tried Witcher 2, and found it terrible. Figured there's no point in trying the third.
Good bait
I liked this bastard so much. In general all kings were cool. Too bad about Radovid and Eredin in third game.
>Radovid
it's childish but at least they had to add an additional setting whether geralt gained strength by wildhunts or what, geralt in the novel was terribly weak and was even getting weaker with age
I wish we could spare Radovid, so North will rise, and not killing Roche and Thaler (Yes, I know we could just not doing this questline, but I mean with our involvement.)
>4:20
witcher 2 is awful 1 and 3 are far better

Bump
Triss is best girl
When I played Witcher 1 back in the day, I picked Triss, but after I read the books, it's gotta be Yennefer 100%. Picking Triss is just wrong, and the way they wrote her in W1 is creepy in retrospect, because she knows Geralt has amnesia and forgot about Yennefer and just tries to slide into the sorceress-shaped hole in his memory.
Also, I don't understand why in W1 she has natural-looking red hair, and in W2 and W3 they made her have fake-looking dyed red hair. There's other real redheads running around W3.
If you’d actually read the books you’d be aware that sorceresses change their appearance at will
9/10 bait
>If you’d actually read the books
Life's too short. I haven't even read all of Faulkner yet.
I keep meaning to read the books, I've read the last wish. My brother bought me the other books but I haven't read them yet. Always end up reading something else, I have too many books to choose from and I'm always buying other ones.
They're decent. Read them in the order they were written in. They'll make you appreciate the little nods in the games more.
The last one that came out, Season of Storms I think? It was pretty mediocre and didn't fit well with the rest. I think it was the author trying to reassert his ownership of the series after the games became popular (he thinks video games are shit and looks down on them).
Absolutely avoid the Netflix show, it's pure trash.
The c**t deceived me. It's just prositutes for me from now on. Never trust a ginger.
