The Witcher 3 is boring

r/

I’ve never liked the Witcher games which is strange because I enjoyed the show, but trying to play 2 or 3 feels awful and clunky somehow a game made in the 2010s controls worse than the car driving mechanics from Tony Hawks Underground 1 and the UI feels awful to navigate, overall if I’m looking for an RPG I’d pick Skyrim over the Witcher any day of the week unironically I don’t understand the over hype of the Witcher 3

    I bought it and forced myself to play it a few times and just couldn’t get into it. I put it in the category of my most hated video game. All due to camera angles and controls.

    How do you like the show but not the games lmao. I’d understand not liking both, but show is butchery of Witcher universe.

    I mean… the game is 10 years old now… 2 is closer to 15 years old.

    Ofcourse things will feel old and clunky because they are.

    Agreed, I even purchased it multiple times on different platforms and attempted to give it a fair shot every time. Could never make it past the first little tutorial area without getting bored to death. I’m convinced the only people who enjoy this game are casual gamers who don’t play anything other than mainstream games. The story is so generic and predictable. The game mechanics (especially the combat) are bland and feel terrible.

    The funny thing about witcher 3 is how clunky it was on release. It was kind of a shitshow like cyberpunk was, but no one talked about it because it became popular later after patches were made. 

    I have always found the combat and walking was clunky. It feels even worse than skyrim at times in terms of clunlyness. 

    But, the whole charm of the game is how complete it is. You have choices in the game that actually affects the story, the characters, who lives, who dies. They even made the side storylines integrate the game so well because of how a witcher is a monster hunter. And all monster hunting sidequests felt like a whole another story on their own. At the end of it, you feel like you actually went through a whole open wprld game, and not that you went through a checkbox simulator.

    Sounds like something a piece of filth might say

    I’ve tried it twice after a friend raved about it. It’s one of the least engaging games I’ve ever played and the remaster deserves to be scorned for how bad it looks

    I tried it, was going too fast through the story and got out leveled pretty quickly and stopped playing. Picked it back up about two years later and went through the game more methodically l, and ended up loving it.

    I have no idea how you could like the show over the game. The show was the biggest heap of dogshit only helped by the fact that Henry cavill was literally the best person to play Geralt, and they ruined that too.

    I can understand not enjoying something but I dunno how anyone can prefer that show to the witcher 3 lmao

    I find it funny some people don’t seem to realize what this subreddit is called 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Skyrim isn’t an RPG. It is an action adventure game.

    Honestly this strikes me as a take that people have when they skip cut scenes and dialogue and then are confused about why people like it.
