Controls never really bothered but I also prefer the old tank RE controls over the newer 3rd person games.
The Witcher 3 is up there with Bloodborne, U4 and Breath of the Wild as the game of the generation for me. I did play it on PC though at about a 55fps average so maybe that helped a lot with the controls I hear a lot of console players moan about being laggy?
You made a thread to complain without trying the alternative movement? It makes a world of difference.
BotW is pretty fucking clunky though, if in a different way.i went from breath of the wild to witcher 3 on pc, and how clunky geralt acted was like a culture shock to me. i got over it and it is a great game, but never once did i enjoy moving in the world.
By checking the options...How would I know of this? I didnt even know there was a alternative control scheme. Even if I did I would thought the default one is the better option anyway.
So few? Have we been on the same forum? People have been bitching about The Witcher 3's controls on this forum since the game's launch, and apparently they won't be stopping any time soon.The update helped a lot. But at release, I REALLY didn't enjoy The Witcher 3 largely because of this. I was kind of surprised so few people mentioned it.

Just because you have low standards for combat doesn't mean it's fine. I love the witcher 3 but playing the game is a fucking chore at early levels where geralt dies very fast.There is an option that eleminates the start up animation where he has to pick up speed every time he walks.
And no,the combat is fine and passable.
LmaoOP pls
Not great but not that bad
Alternate controls to me seem like just different controller layout, not change in animation. I usually check the options properly so I'm surprised to find it out today.By checking the options...
Why would you think the default is better if you haven't tried the alternate?
This is a puzzling thread.

not sure what you mean. i don't remember specifics because i drinks a bit, but all i remember is that i enjoyed moving around in the world in zelda, but did not in witcher 3.
GAF praises this game just as much as everyone else. There is no "GAF bubble". Sounds like you just haven't heard anyone else complaining. I remember Gerstmann saying the same things about the controls when he was playing through it. I don't know why you added all of the extra praise about unrealted aspects of the game when I didn't say anything but the game play is poor.That's the thing, you're actually putting an restraint on yourself by spamming light attack and Quen every fight. That is a less efficient way to kill enemies than what I mentioned.
Nah, you're in the Gaf bubble. The game is the most highly awarded game in history, sold 10+ million copies, highly reviewed by critics and players, high influence on the books popularity outside of Eastern Europe, highly influential in bringing about a Netflix Witcher TV series. The combat is the "worst" part, it's still a combat system that can be fun to play otherwise the game simply would not be as popular as it is, no f'ing chance.

Just imagine.
Witcher 3.
With Nier Automata's controls and combat system.
It isn't a console thing. I played it at a locked 60fps, and while you can get used to it, it never feels good. Geralt has this really unnatural acceleration and deceleration. Then of course there's all the feedback (or lack thereof) with combat issues.

Agree with OP.
Unironically prefer Skyrim's combat because I'm in more control of my character there than Gerald.
Also didn't see the fancy side quests people hyped up, I was still gathering herbs and killing monsters in side quests before I tapped out.
I need more than 'passable' gameplay to stick with a game.

You are so RIGHT in so many levels of good taste!

I mean, can you really blame him for not knowing about alternative movement? how many other games have alternative movement that actually modifies how the character moves around and not just control schemes? heck, I didn't know about it until just now either!
I had to do a double take there, Horizon? The game whose camera kind of just goes... wherever? Nah, man, not compared to that game. I like Horizon but that shit ain't fun to control, especially in tighter spaces and especially that camera.
The Witcher 3 is going to age like milk mark my words. Once it being a "pretty" game doesn't mean anything anymore its glaring mediocrity will come to the forefront.
I pretty sure it's mosty praised for its writing, quest design, and gameplay?The Witcher 3 is going to age like milk mark my words. Once it being a "pretty" game doesn't mean anything anymore its glaring mediocrity will come to the forefront.
Yet you stuck with Skyrim?
