    I played this for about an hour and couldn't get into it the combat system was janky and the whole thing seemed too laborious. Maybe I was wrong and should give it another go

      The way to play Witcher is just turn the difficulty down, mod in QoL features like unlimited inventory and just breeze through the story. The combat is not good in any of the games, and harder difficulties just make it take up more time.

        the combat can be fun with the right build and mutations.
        just a shame you basically have to play new game+ to really get the best of it. its not super complex or hard but it can get fun to slice horde of bandits or monsters.

        Yeah good. Usually I prefer turn based combat anyway. If I play this again, which I might, I'll do a thread and figure out what's the most fun or easy way to combat because as it was I'm not keen on it at all

      The combat system gets way better once you start levelling up and specially if you focus on both red (melee) and blue (signs) skills. Using a controller for the quick signs instead of using the shitty wheel also makes the combat flow way better.
      Not only that but by the DLCs or once your build is pretty much done, you can focus on an endgame mechanic called mutations, there's one called Euphoria that was completely OP before the new patch, but it fits sword+sign builds perfectly. You get to make use of everything Geralt has on his arsenal, because using potions/decoctions not only give you combat bonuses, but also with that mutation you get increased damage with both sword AND signs. Therefore you can make a fully fledged build that makes use of everything, and has you prepared for any kind of enemy, without missing out on any mechanic of the game.

      Start off on an easier difficulty and then ramp it up. Even normal is pretty challenging at first.

        Witcher's combat is piss easy, especially once you know the weaknesses of all the monsters. I suck at actual games (souls) but beat Witcher 3 in underpants without dying on death march (it was my third or fourth playthrough)

    Yeah, the whole the witcher thing was a fraud by console zoomers playing their first rpg.
    >worst combat than action nip games from the ps2 as per usual by western games
    >rpg you can't rpg because Geralt is very defined as a character
    >90% of the quests are the same use witcher senses kill repeated monster shit.
    >muh press X to follow the dots automatically
    >the main story was actually abysmal with 3 big side quests of which only 1 was good, and the last final act is rushed af and pretty dogshit too
    >either you say everything ciri wants to hear or you get the bad ending
    The game wasn't much different than the usual ass creed slop honestly.

      Nah, this is a shitty complaint. While you are more confined than a completely custom character, there is a good amount of wiggle room within that to roleplay Geralt in different ways and quests can have radically different outcomes because of it.

        Zoomers back in 2015 thought either was an RPG because you stand around and listen to dialogue like a bioware game. But the rest of the game is so shallow you'd really have to struggle to claim it's anything but a poorly cobbled together bioware sim

        Dude, every single of those choices is literally
        >kill the thing
        >don't kill the thing
        and that's where the quest ends and you move to another thing

          Not a good faith argument, that's basically most RPG choices if you boil it down to the most generic terms possible.

        Not true. Mass effect threads are started all the time without shitting on them because they're not total shit

            Correct. Witcher 3 threads on Ganker were nothing but zoomers spamming. They were about as high quality as elsen ring or starfield threads, completely substanceless spam threads that died right after launch. That's how you know a game is bad, and that's why the only possible way to get a witcher 3 threads going is to shot on it, because shitting on it is the only logical decision

    Everyone says the witcher 3 is one of the greatest games ever so when I finally played it I was expecting amazing gameplay but all I got was a soap opera for chicks. Disappointing.

    It's kinda hilarious that Witcher 3 has faded so much after all the semen-slurping about it, while Skyrim is still going strong when everyone and their mother comes out to shit on it

      Shitrim is still alive for the insane amount of coom mods. Nobody talks about the story unless you're talking about Morrowind or even Oblivion.

        This board regularly gets "Stormcloak Vs Imperial" and "I dunwanna kill Party Snacks" threads. Claiming it's just the mods is cope.

        I saved them both in my first run by accident. They insinuate that the guards raped the sister in the dialogue so I kept picking nice options with her which worked out in the end.
