W3 is one of the most overrated games ever. Combat is fucking dogshit lmao.
Can you explain why its "fucking dogshit lmao"?
Keep in mind im not asking you to say why its not the best or why its not great, all im asking is what is so bad about it that you cant even consider it decent/mediocre?
I like Witcher 3, but I can't support that trash combat.
What did you hate about the combat?
Easy.
Witcher 3.
Terrible combat, but this game defined current gen. Hands down best AA(A) RPG we had this gen.
Why the combat is terrible? mind giving some reasons? why its not decent? what makes it so bad? Compared to what games? open world rpg games? how bad you have found it to be?
I voted W3...I liked GoT a lot, but despite the crackhead awful Witcher 3's combat, it has way better questing and overall rpg thingies. Game is stupidly long too while not recurring to boring tasks.
How its awful? can you explain?
Is the general opinion about the combat of the game being sooo bad, hyperbole?
I didn't find the combat bad at all. That's not to say I find it fantastic, but not that bad.
Yes it is definitely hyperbole, most people cant even explain their reasons properly and even if they did you will come to conclude that the final verdict is going to be 4-6 which reads Mediocre-Serviceable/Average-Decent.
Thats taking all account of the flaws.
I'm curious what games you feel were influenced by the Witcher 3?
Most open world games post 2015, the very game we compare it to in this topic, Ghost of Tsushima.
The influence is felt from the general atmosphere of the games, the protagonist vibes riding on a horse, stumbling upon villages and npc and tackling their side stories, and to make it more accurate its less of direct influence and more of a gold standard for comparison, for some reason, every new open world game and especially ARPG is being compared and will be (in the future) to Witcher 3.
I understand why people roll with Witcher.
I finished the game 3 times myself.
But my god is the combat trash.
I think the finisher animations on humans are literally the most satisfying thing about it lmao.
Would you mind explaining why its "trash"?
I think most people who are saying its combat is trash never played the game more than few hours, probably just gave up on it early, since the game is overwhelming at first and its a bit slow paced. For someone who is into action fast paced games its going to be hard to continue playing without liking the world and its story and characters.
Unfortunate, as the game itself peaks at the DLC, the combat and the story is at its best during the two expansions, better boss fights and the fighting becomes interesting because you unlock many different abilities and tools. I found the combat to be fun during that moment, at the beginning though, its fairly serviceable. However late game DLC combat is good in my book.
Also why its bad/trash/awful? why these extreme judgmental words? I dont get it, the game never claims to give you any playable class other than a Witcher, so criticizing the game lack of weapons or classes is invalid. Also to add the player has many tools, can dodge with 2 different methods, can parry, you can apply buffs, critical hits, enchantments, you unlock movesets (although not enough) you have bombs, potions, decoctions, signs that can change abilities based on what you unlock, the variety is there, and boss fights are decent as well, main game is ehh..decent, DLC boss fights are head and shoulders above it and their attack patterns are much better.
Ofcourse there are certain flaws here like lack of different swords with unique abilities for example, or having more moveset animation, or giving the player the freedom to attack in any direction they want, but aside from those minor flaws i dont see whats so bad about it? seems over-exaggeration to me, i have yet to see some convincing critique about it. Its nowhere near bad or awful imo, especially for its genre (the open world story driven rpg) I think its better than Dragon Age or Elder Scrolls, AC, HZD, for example.
