I should get back into this...everything was jsut clicking when I moved onto resident evil for halloween and dragon quest builders
can someone breakdown gwent for me btw... I havent paid more than a passing glace to it other than the initial card battle or two...the tutorial went way over my head even though I thought I understood
Get off that. What is the genre? Answer it. If you say action RPG, Bloodborne and Souls games are absolutely leagues better than Witcher 3's combat. If you just put it in open world WRPG? Maybe that statement is more valid if that's your opinion, but even then for me it isn't.
Your first sentence was on point but then you had the need to say " the combat is not even mediocre, it's probably one of the best in its genre."
The combat is bad, Geralt doesnt do what you want him to do, if I press attack he might strike or he might dance some and then strike, attacks dont register the majority of the time, there is no visual/sound hit feedback when you strike and enemy might as well be hitting nothing but air, sometimes he does a ultimate kill animation and sometimes he doesnt, enemies ignore sometimes your rolls or dash and still hit you, to move geralt is cumbersome and plain and simple not intuitive, etc.
And above all is just not fun, even a game like Shadow of Mordor has more fun combat than this, I own this game, I have tried to like it several times, dialog, story, characters, world building, openworld, all great I dont argue that, but combat and regular gameplay? is not one of the best of any genre not just in what this game belongs.
A game that can't even get basic combat right can't be the goat. So nope.
I completely disagree. The main thing this game gets right is story, and the story falls off after the Baron
Gotta say, that ending bit got me by surprise but it was so good man. You described it perfectly. So fucking good.Also, I feel like Blood and Wine ended the series perfectly (granted you made the right choices). End of Blood and Wine spoilers ahead:Geralt having that last chat with Regis in which Regis says to Geralt that after all the adventures and turmoil they have been through that it would be nice to sit down and relax as they deserved it (they being us). Geralt proceeds to agree then breaks the fourth wall and looks directly at you and smirks as the screen cuts to black. It's very subtle and quick, but the smirk starts to fade as the screen goes black, almost giving him a disappointed look knowing that it's all over and that we, the fans, feel the same way knowing this will be the last time we have an adventure with Geralt and company. It is indeed a somber feeling knowing this great ride is finally over. At least I chose to spend the rest of my days with Yennefer at Corvo Bianco (aka Witcher 3: Animal Crossing Edition). A nice touch to make you feel a bit happier.
It's still too fresh in my mind for me to call it the GOAT in good conscience. But it's without a doubt in my Top 3. Let's see how time treats it.
But I can say that it is the only game, in years, that I am strongly considering repeating its massive story+dlc
The Witcher 3 is the game that I dreamed of when I was a kid and always thought it was not possible to conciliate so many aspects of videogames into one game and come out great. Not only it is one of the most ambitions endeavors I've seen in world building and design in two decades, they also delivered on that ambition.

I bet some of the people that think the combat/gameplay in Witcher 3 is garbage are the same that think the Souldborne games have some of the best gameplay of all time.
The game looks amazing and the story seems intriguing but can someone please reassure me that the combat evolves as the game progresses? I'm only about an hour or two into it, trying to find that black haired woman.
At the moment (a year after first purchasing the game), I'm trying to get into it again from start. I can't remember why I stopped the first time around but I'm thinking it's the combat.
Coming from a Demon/Dark Souls background really doesn't do this game's combat any favours.

Play the DLC. I don't think it's possible for someone to dislike Hearts of Stone.
Tomorrow I do believe I'm gonna grab the GOTY edition at Gamestop.
... I just don't know if I should play through the first two I own and never beat or not first.
Good game but shitty combat keeps it from greatness.
Bloodborne is still miles better.
Fallout 4 hahahaha
