I have completed The Witcher 3

Sprungli · May 27, 2015, 02:46:39 PM

Dead on 80 hours, which is a flawless match for what CDPR said.

I must say that it's probably the best game i've ever played; the last game I can remember to have such a high level of quality and even come close to the level of quantity was AC2-and that was a long while ago, plus the game pales in comparison now.

You know a great game when you've finished it, and you feel a bit empty inside. And that's very much case with this game, no matter what criticisms you may have-you'll feel at a loss when your adventure has drawn to a conclusion.

I think i've got the best ending, and probably close to the best end-state and so as a result I can only offer my sympathies to anyone that is unfortunate to finish on one the less desirable endings-that's got to suck

Whatever the case, i'm just happy that CDPR is releasing tons of new free content and i'll probably be purchasing the expansion pass closer to release. What's more i'll be eagerly awaiting Cyberpunk 2077-CDPR is only improving and they seem to genuinely care about games rather than money.

10/10 will immediately replay 10 times to explore all the various outcomes.

They won't be talking about Cyberpunk 2077 until 2017.

I know. I'm not expecting it to be out until 2019-CDPR seem to favour a 4 year cycle. Although, they have had a separate team working on it for 1-2 years now supposedly.

Too bad i wont be able to play it.

Spoiler

AC2 was repetitive garbo and Ezio was annoying as shit

Ushan · May 27, 2015, 03:24:32 PM

Yeah, I really want to have a look at Cyberpunk 2077. I adored that one trailer they showed a couple years back.

don't get a boner over a game man chill

one thing i dislike is the reward system, i feel like all i ever get is fucking alchemy shit that i can't do nothing with
also diagrams for items which i can't use cuz levels, i mean if the level of the quest is 5 then surely it should reward items for that level? wow a level 30 diagram, so useful when im level 5
it's hard to enjoy it when it plays like this

I don't really know how I can prove it to you. At level 5 I really did get a level 30 diagram. I keep finding gear for higher levels than mine and it's quite annoying because im stuck with this shit I got at level 2

Gatortag · May 27, 2015, 06:50:27 PM

I finished it today too. Still lots of stuff left to do. I liked my ending. The one I got, I like, there's another I'd hate, and the 3rd I'm not sure how to feel about.

Spoiler

Ciri became a Witcher. What did you get?

Well no it's not. The age of a game doesn't influence how good it is.

Although I do understand that you only like games that came out before 2000, so maybe you don't quite get that concept.

Ditto. I don't know the others but the one I got seemed to be the best. In mine Ciri became a witcher and Geralt retired with Yennefer and lived happily ever after far away. Classic fairytale ending, which is something I thought impossible for most of the story.

So you'd rather play a shitty multiplayer shooter-literally as bad as watching paint dry, that's aimed at 10 year olds than a massive, brilliant RPG?

yes, it does...

for awhile, goldeneye 64 was considered great
you play it now, and it's absolutely shit--even FPS fans agree

you play super mario 64 without your nostalgia goggles
one of the shittiest 3D platformers ever

you watch avengers: age of ultron, and just after seeing it, you think it's the best movie ever
but then once the hype dies down, you realize that it wasn't THAT great

pretty basic shit

This is rich coming from a guy that thinks the old Zeldas are worthy of their 100 metacritic score.

Verbatim · May 28, 2015, 03:22:14 PM

in general, all hyping up a game does is make me want to buy it for the sole purpose of pointing out each and every one of its flaws in order to prove how mediocre or shitty it really is

1. where/when did i say this
2. what the fuck are "the old Zeldas"
3. the only zelda game i've openly praised on this website is wind waker
4. either way, what does this have to do with any of my points

you're a moron

Yeah I would because I've actually played Splatoon and I know I like it. It does something new and it does it exceptionally well. I own Witcher 3 and I regret buying it. Mediocre combat, boring stretched out story, good graphics though. Fantasy RPGs are being done to death.

There is one fantasy RPG out on Xbox One or PS4 to my knowledge. It's a very not-done genre, the only other notable one is Skyrim on last gen.

And what new things does Splatoon do? Other than bring a literal application of 'watching paint dry' to video games.

i do indeed enjoy all the "old zeldas", whatever that even means, but i've never once said any of them deserve perfect scores

the original zelda is a 7/10 at best

zelda 2 is by no means a great game--i've just beaten it twice, and i use it as a counterexample in dark souls arguments whenever people accuse me of being a casual, because zelda 2 is a FAR more punishing game than shitty fucking dark souls

link's awakening is... link's awakening

and lttp is an 8/10
it's really fun, but the gameplay gets really stale after a short period of time

so... wtf are you talking about
