They like it because most of the others like it because most of the others like it because most of the others like it etc
>b-but...le story...le good characters...
I can’t get pass that stupid botchling or whatever it’s called boss fight because I can’t focus on the enemy and the gameplay is so clunky. Fricking ac Valhalla does this better
Skill issue.
>AC Valhalla
Taste issue.
Say what you want but at least ubishit had the decency to actually care about fluid combat
>gets filtered
>cries and sucks off ubishit
embarrassing
They have the same mission structure moron
whatever helps you cope little guy
ubishit games actually have combat superior to witcher 3. in those you actually have a moveset and not just random ballerina twirling
>can't get pass that stupid boss fight
1. dodge + light attack vs. Wraiths
2. use Axii on Botchling
3. ???
Yrden tho
"IT'S BAD BECAUSE, UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......"
i dont get the hate for the combat. i think its good. compared to most open world games, it feels very fluid. i like the quick dodging and attacking. i also like having to know what enemies you are fighting and applying the right oils and using the right potions. the game is fun on deathmarch.
just autistic kids who didn't even play the game
combat is better than most rpgs like this
there is no such thing as a general hate for witcher combat, it's the same couple dozen from software slave fan boys over and over again
they get their ego and sense of accomplishment in life from pretending to be part of a supposedly small group who beat a game they think it's extremely hard, so they have to shit on every single 3rd person rpg/action game that gets more attention then dark souls
>muh fromsoft
literally obssessed+projection, you absolute ape
>oh no, no, anti-witcher threads are not created by sousgays, it's totally random people hating on a game they don't like for 7 years straight
it's not only alphas in the west who despise, reject and ostracize you, Japan hates you too
combat itself is working. It's shallow but satisfying. Especially compared to w2. Its that its simplistic and boring and when you account rpg mechanics completely being broken , it sums up for a shitty system.
I ended up applying the auto oil mod. The constant going through inventory to reapply worn off oils really broke the flow of the combat apart. If I had done testing on it I would have just created slots like there are for bombs and potions so you can quickly reapply what you have in there.
Combat felt similar to Elden Ring or other Souls games and people praise those. Just dodging and attacking, dodging and attacking.
better combat than souls series
friendly reminder DS and New Vegas are reddits favorite games.
New Vegas and DS are universally loved. What are you getting at?
>universally loved
by LGBT.
Still more fun than Dragon's Dogma. Complex jank aint got shit on fun simplicity in big budget titles.
>Still more fun than Dragon's Dogma
I like both games, but I've got to say I perfer Dragon's Dogma combat. That said, different types of games. And you're right, The Witcher 3 feels like a big budget game whereas Dragon's Dogma has many more pitfalls.
the characters, voice acting, face models, facial animations, and graphics in DD are just so utterly laughably shit compared to W3 (even W2) so it's a tradeoff tbh
Dont forget the fricking obnoxious Inventory management.
LIke what the frick were they thinking.
>Tab for alchemy, filled with bullshit
>Tab for raw materials, filled with bullshit.
>Tab for bullshit, filled with more bullshit.
>Never know what shitty ingredient you will need in the future so its only natural you hoard everything like a fricking israelite.
>More than 70% of the shit you hoard will be useless forever, and the other 30% seems like bullshit first but turns out after 20 hours it is SUPER DUPER IMPORTANT for crafting something that will be useless 5 hours after.
Frick this game, aged like milk.
>LIke what the frick were they thinking.
consoles. it started with witcher 2.
Yeah it's trash
Strip away the "lol grafix" and the "omg but the Baron quest!" and TW3 is just an extremely mediocre third-person hack-and-slash with janky and abusable half-baked combat mechanics and no RPG elements to speak of.
But literally those two things, "lol grafix" and "the baron quest!" are enough to make people give it a 10/10 and defend it for a decade.
the combats bad, the character build options are dull, the RPG mechanics are bad, and the quest design is bad. when you ask TW3shills why they like this game they basically only praise the story and waifus, so its just some subjective nonsense. I personally thought the story sucked and so did the characters.
I've tried playing this three different times, pirated all three times. I can't even play this dogshit when it's free. Just bad.
Compared to what? Worst combat compared to what games moron?
Compared to souls games? No contest, that's a whole other kind of combat few have been able to emulate or keep up with. But they only just released an open world game and W3 was like 7 years ago.
What games are you pretending this has worse combat than? Mario? Some brown FPS? Asscreed? What game OP?
>some of the worst combat in any game
Comprehension problems? If I say you are the dumbest Black person in existence, do I need to compare you to every single one of them?
>why do people like this?
"epic plot" apparently. Personally i fricking hated the game.
>tfw filtered autists are still seething over tw3
mentally broken
ya the multimillion selling AAA multiplat game that even console children have played is definitely high IQ couture art that only high IQs can appreciate ... right. only intelligent gentlesirs such as yourself could truly understand the red witcher sense vision holding your hand through every mission
you will never awake at the side of a woman smiling at you, pathetic low test weeb, souls game can be easily beaten by ANYONE
your seething unironically made me cringe. I will close this tab because of you. Godspeed moron
>unironically made me cringe
you unironically say "sweetie" to people who disagree with you on twitter
no if you have played the first two
There is no point for this game to be a open world
Sure there is. This allowed the devs to go with
>DUDE OUR GAME IS 200H LONG, SO GOOD MMMM
>DUDE THE MAP IS A LITERAL GORILLION SQUARE KM BIG
for marketing. Normies love garbage like this. They went with something similar for cp2077 as well. And then it turned out lots of placed that constantly pop-up everywhere are not even accessible.
Frick you. Velen was the most witcher like location out of all the games. W1 bog was fricking atrocious and tedious, Velen just made me want to prolong my time there as much as I could.
It is a great game, best in the series story, lore and world building wise. Only things other entries did stronger is W1 trumps it with its alchemy system with W2 combat being more meatier and skill system more impactful.
>inb4 codexians start rambling about W1
Unlike rose tinted nostalgia gays I went through back to back on all three entries with the same save transfer very recently. W1 is the weakest quest design, location and story wise. What are not the main quests consists of witcher contracts which are fricking fed ex tier "grab me 10 drowner brains", locations are all repetitive (crypts and caves use the same assets and layouts everywhere) and the main storyline only got interesting in the detective part where it was painfully obvious that Javed had replaced him, instead of making it a bonus with very subtle clues and through players. Most enjoyable chapter overall was the one that had almost nothing to do with the main storyline and just dead stop breaks the flow of the latter.
Open world made the plot extremely dull because you can’t have any major events that change the world state. The good writers and devs must have fricked off after Witcher 2
>proceeds to praise morrowind, gothic and fallout
Same people who like Elden Ring
I played through like 10 hours in just the first area of the game doing all the side shit and burnt myself out by the time I was done with the gryphon and before I even made it to one of the big cities
play on the hardest or second hardest difficulty
f i l t e r e d
Only finished the first one. Tried the second and third at least 5 times each and I could never get into them, they get boring quickly thanks to the boring combat
A reminder.
You can keep your Golden Globe media awards, the only award I care about the Oscars
YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS BEAT EVERY SOULS GAME, TENS OF MILLIONS, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR RULES ON HOW SOULS GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED, YOU WILL BE FOREVER FAILED IN LIFE AND YOUR STEAM LIST OS ACHIEVEMENTS WON'T SAVE YOU
The dodge is OP as frick and enemies telegraph their attacks like 30 hours in advance
fallout 4 over MGSV? OOOOOOOOOOOF
it's very immersive. perhaps the best white male power fantasy on the market.
Potion build is good if you want more complexity
the combat is good, the vast majority of people like it, no amount of threads will change that
the vast majority of people never even finished the game
64.7% have the first achievement on steam, second one is at 54%
holy shit it's bad
Heh. So nobody has actually even hardly played it, yet it’s so popular and renown? Hmmm what did they mean by this?
because it's a movie game. many watched the cutscenes on youtube and pretend to like the game just like persona
the goty edition was on sale several times for $10 so a lot of people just bought it and didn't even bother installing it
that's true for nearly all games now sadly. i wish nintendo had achievements so we can see how many people beat botw.
i think the problem is that most people roll too much. rolling feels clunky. it feels better if you just dodge every time instead.
Witcher and Skyrim are pure 100% reddit tier trash.
>Jesus fricking Christ this has some of the worst combat in any game, why do people like this?
>99% of wRPGs have dogshit combat, people don't play these games for the combat, at best it servers to break the pace
>masterpiece
"No!"
Witcher 3 is a good game in the same way that a marvel superhero movie might accidentally be good. It's multi-million dollar, safe, focus-tested, corporate garbage for the masses. Literally its only purpose is to generate billions of dollars worth of profit from the low-IQ beer-guzzling McDonald's-eating ret.ards that outnumber real humans. Except this time, it also happened to be a good game.
But masterpiece? This AAA normie marvel tier game, no matter how good it is, will never even approach the level of masterpiece or cult classic of something like Bloodborne. Because its focus is too broad. Appeal to everyone, excel at nothing. That's its motto, and every AAA game's motto. If the game happens to be good, great! But it will never be a masterpiece. There is no soul. No master spark of creativity, which is the very life force and essence that the word "masterpiece" refers to. Someone had a vision, and painstakingly crafted an artistic achievement by infusing their very soul on a metaphysical level into the finished piece. Not so with Witcher 3. It is a product, not art, and it is corporate achievement, not an artistic one. And it is certainly no masterpiece.
Seriously how is this good? It's a dark souls wannabe ass game that's only positive is the female character models.
This game might just be up there as one of the most over hyped games of all time beside the shit game half-life and final fantasy.
Elden Ring damaged Witcher gays for good xD
Shit like monster hunter exists and moronic shitposters pretend a game like witcher 3 has bad combat lmao
What a fricking joke
It's actually fine combat. What's your issue with it? Are you bad at it?
>why do people like this?
Because it’s the only real AAA WRPG to come out since Skyrim and now it’s been just as long since Witcher 3 came out. I’m not sure why devs are afraid of the genre. All we get is garbage indie or low budget titles.
There’s nothing else to play so they pretend the only thing presented to them is good
Vanilla Skyrim has better combat. That game at least has variety and progress. W3 is 2 swords and 5 spells for 150 hours. Gameplay barely changes that whole time. I remember getting the crossbow early and looking forward to some ranged combat. Turns out it's just an autoland button for flyers. It's right up there with press X to follow auto detective mode overlay. It's not even terrible, just aggressively mediocre.
haven't played skyrim (or any other elder scrolls) can you max every tree? As in, use certain weapon/spell for a while and then start a different one
Yes.
>skyrim left click combat is better because you can swing a sword OR an axe!
Man living with such a low IQ must be wild haha.
You will never frick a leshen
I did on monster hunter world

Use enhanced edition redux
I'm reading about it but it mostly changes stats and skills
It's a mod for a mod, you need enhanced edition as well, so you should read up on that too. It makes combat way more interesting overall
bad combat is actually… le good
just made me want to play it again
YES, I LOVE WITCHER 3, BLOODBORNE IS DEAD
Sex with ciri onegai kami-sama-san
yes the combat wasn't great. But it was a shit ton better than other huge open world RPG games aka skyrim and other garbage.
>Game is objectively pretty good, where any sort of unbiased take on it would rank it at least 7/10
>Ganker: This game is objectively shit, has no redeeming qualities in way shape or form, and is just a shitty version of <some janky game that isn't really doing everything game does>
Thinking TW3 is a bad game is obviously a contrarian take for sake of boosting your own ego and hoping daddy Ganker will agree with you. I didn't like the game either, because I thought it was too long and boring, but I'd be out of my mind to call it shit. Why are games either amazing GOTY or absolute shit on this board, when most games, and nearly every AAA games, are just okay.
Because you get to frick a long line of 10s
ME is also hugely overrated. People forgive the boring combat and story because you get to frick aliens.
Never underestimate the buying power of the coomer. Sapkowski knew what he was doing when he made his hero a nigh-immortal warrior who is immune to STDs.
I haven't read the books but wasn't he originally some hideous mutant freak? Was he really fricking hotties left and right in the books too?
The witches are also mutant hags with magical plastic surgery.
He was superhuman due to genetic mutation but the only physical difference he had was cat's eyes. Also Geralt specifically had white hair, a side effect of the genetic mutation that other Witchers didn't have.
And yes, he was fricking a lot in the books too. The only big difference in terms of his romantic arc is that Yennefer is explicitly his soulmate, there is no question that she is his one true love. Triss is just a side b***h. They changed this for the games to give the player a choice.
