Jim Barris posted:The Witcher 3 is so good that it makes other RPGs look like some amateur hour Yeah, they did it on like a fraction of the budget of other AAA titles too. Sucks none of the other publishers noticed and continue to release 20 hour collectathon trash that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make. Cyberpunk will be here one day though...

Witcher 3 is the only game that managed to make every single motherfucking side-quest interesting. I swear to god I haven't found a single lovely quest that didn't have at least one small but interesting twist. It puts all other RPGs to loving shame fo sho.

I mean the writing was probably better than average for a video game, but that's like saying "it tasted better than average - for garbage", the moral of the story is that you should no more play video games for their narrative than you should eat garbage.

realtalk that bit where geralt gets drunk with his two witcher buddies in witcher 3 is probably the funniest thing i've ever seen in a videogame. the writers, animators and voice actors are all clearly familiar with being gently caress drunk and talking poo poo.

The Witcher 3 might be the best game ever made??? It sucked up all my free time for like almost two months until I'd done everything there is to do in the game.bitterandtwisted posted:I liked Gunter O'Dimm, it was like having Magic Man as your enemy. He was my friend because I hated Olgierd and I was willing to consider all the innocent lives Gaunter ruined as collateral damage in my war against him and his Undercut Brigade.

Lambert suggesting to steal Yennefer's advanced sorcery apparatuses to summon sorceress to party with and Geralt responding by slurring "Laaaambeeeert..... You're a geeeeeniuuuuuus..." made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe. The voice actor loving nailed that line. Punished Chuck fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Aug 27, 2016 |

Witcher 1 was straight loving awful though. I played through it because a friend was nagging me (we're not friends anymore) and it was one of the worst games ever made. If you like it you should be ashamed of yourself and I think you owe an apology to the very next person you meet.

witcher 3 combat is only bad if you like memorised the 3 or 4 or whatever sets combat controls that every game copy pastes, and are somehow completely incapable of learning how anything new handles

I liked the combat when it was dangerous and you had to prepare for fights and keep an eye on all the enemies and perfectly time your dodges and quick steps and parries and wait patiently for openings to attack and stuff. I feel like in the base game you end up leveling to a point where you're too strong to have to do that though and you just end up mashing the attack buttons and maybe rolling away from the strongest attacks. Probably my favorite thing about the expansions was that they brought that difficulty back.

The witcher games are fun but I hate Geralt's character. He's smarter than everyone, fucks more than everyone, kills people and gets away with it, and meanwhile everyone else in this dumpster of a world looks like they're covered in filth and are hideous and run up to Geralt going "please help milord I've done been touched by trolls." Then Geralt kills the trolls and fucks some more. I hate him!!!

He must endure a life of superpowers, and not even his chiseled handsomeness can hide how badass his snow-white hair is.

I liked light armor because it was all like padded shirts striped in really garish bright colors and patterns. It's a cool aesthetic especially when every other historically-themed media seems to think that colors other than brown and dark green weren't invented until the 20th century.
