The Witcher 3 is one of the best more recent games. It is one of the only 2 games I have all the achievements for. People who complain about the combat are just **** at the game.

The author is a prick and the Netflix show is ***. Never played the first and second game either.

Tbh Henry Caville is a **** actor he was only good for Superman. The choice of cast for the Netflix show was all **** though. They’re all ugly as ****.

Last time I played TW3 I fought a group of 3 random bandits for like 10 minutes because they had so much health and/or the level difference penalty. I didn't even have amnesia!

[maidenhaver]

Sounds like method acting.

If they had a red skull on their health bar then they were a higher level and you weren’t supposed to fight them yet. Otherwise you were using the wrong sword, your gear was broken, or you never upgraded your gear.

[rusty_shackleford]

I think it's good design when a random bandit has more hp and does more damage than a giant griffin

[Xenich]

Wasn't he at least true to the role though? From what I had read he was an avid fan of the series and he took playing the role seriously. The reason I heard he left is because they were completely destroying the show with all the usual crap and he just couldn't take being a part of it.

Would that be accurate?

No, the game is easy, it's just a slog through and through. Either way, there's plenty of "more recent" RPGs better than that turd. (Except Hearts of Stone, perfection). It's not even top 10 in that time frame.

Wouldn't say the game is easy. If you chose the harder difficulty first then I can see why you think it is a slog. You need to learn how combat works first, such as countering and exploiting weaknesses. You also need to learn how to use the bestiary and mutagens. Since you say it is a "slog" to get through I assume you jumped on a harder difficulty expecting to whack your way through anything that stands in front of you, but instead every encounter resulted in a health grind. This is a common issue amongst "gamers" who spent most their time playing CSGO and Fortnite. They can't last 2 minutes figuring out a proper combat system without giving up. It's just not how the game works and is one of the reasons why it is one of the better most-recent RPGs.

Where is ******** react when you need it?

The game is a slog because it's 100+ hours of the same fights over and over again and the ******** leveling system. Mutagens, bestiary, crafting, alchemy, etc., i know about these systems already and knew how to use them. There wasn't a single fight frozen in my mind being difficult and needing to overcome adversity.

You are over selling the depth of combat, it is mediocre. I'm so glad you brought up Counterstrike because mastering the mechanics and understanding how the "combat" works in CS (+ positioning and a dozen other factors) takes thousands of hours to master while you can get the hang of Witcher 3 in a few hours of playing.

Ironic how you bring up "gamers" who have no patience to learn anything as a point for Witcher 3, considering you sound like someone from reddit who saw GOTY and needed to play it. You actually sound like a friend of mine who never touched an RPG (until W3) in his life and didn't know I play them, told me that I probably won't like Witcher 3 because it's a really hardcore game.

witcher 3 combat was just spam light attack/dodge/quen lol

witcher 3 combat was twirl around in a circle and immediately kill anything, completely broken

i take it based on your Kalkstein avatar you're a Witcher 1 enjoyer though?

There is like 80 different monsters in the game and they all have different attack patterns and require different strategies to counter them. It's not really possible to have the same fights over and over again. I really doubt you killed Dettlaff or The Caretaker within the first few tries on Death March. I don't think anyone has done that, even if they were already familiar with the mutagen and alchemy systems.

Tbh I've never played CSGO, so I wouldn't really know and maybe I'm wrong. My assumption is based on the fact it looks like a simplified Call of Duty and the players in gameplay clips always sound pre-pubescent and gay.

I played before it was GOTY. Thought the game looked like *** but it was a gift so I gave it a chance. I don't browse Reddit. Most of the games I played were RPGs.

[Furin]

Here's an idea for a fun Witcher 3 run: go to Toussaint as early as possible, unlock mutations, spec into piercing cold, upgrade Aard.

Then you can have fun role playing as a member of the Wild Hunt. Omnidirectional blizzards ftw!

Best done on Death March difficulty for added hilarity. I had even more fun doing this than making an op alchemy build (which is also pretty fun imo).

[Breathe]

Tbh I liked all three games. They all had enough to keep me interested, though the length of 1 and 2 I found more reasonable.

[Nooneatall]

I fell asleep because it's a movie and not a game.

[Boontaker]

I fell asleep because it's a movie and not a game.

Also the gameplay is baby's first action rpg. Enemies have terrible AI, difficulty is just stat bloat, "stats" are just grindy fetch quests to get a better sword. Made worse in 3 because of random loot, getting a powerful weapon early made the game a breeze. Oh are you struggling? Just spam the aoe cone stagger spell. The only way you lose a fight in Witcher is if you get bored of doing 3% of the enemies HP per hit and just start spamming.

[Red7]

The witcher series are some of the best games ever made. True classics and the best thing to come out of poland in the last 100 years.

im polish and i think they are trash. sapkowski writings are trash. there were never serious btw, goofy comedy bits

You can use sidestep dodge if you're good at the game.

If you're only doing 3% damage to enemies you didn't prepare before an encounter.

[gastovski]

evey witcher games are top class of rpgs this is an undeniable fact

first game's combat was very chaotic which by far was the best
