Did not learn much from the last games

We still encounter the same problems as before: - The whole item, alchemy, herb collecting is a mess, his constantly amnesia is really getting annoying at this point. His brain must be a sieve with holes as big as the universe itself - Economy is absolutely bonkers, the investment into any contract (time and money) does not even balance out what you have to do. I would understand if this is about the internal universe and stuff but we are talking about my real lifetime and existence on this planet which is limited, don't put a game in front of my that laughs at this fact, fix your economy - They made the equippables even worse. Not just the whole crafting stuff is convoluted as hell, now they have durability. Why? No one knows, how they degrade is mambo janbo as well. Have fun figuring out what degrades how and why. And to keep your stuff not falling apart is as expensive as getting new gear. wtf ... - This game is not rewarding in experience, it's again totally incomprehensible what will give you exp and what not, especially if you think stuff that witchers do would give more than anything else. Nope, does not. What - the open world make you backtrack even more than in the games before, you got a horse now ok, but the concept itself is stll lazy and horrible game-design. This is so absolutely unorganic it's a joke. I'm at a loss here. The same problematic with the games before, instead of doing something really good they do all of it mediocre. At least the art and shiny polygon team had their fun with it. Should have been a graphic-novel.

A Really bad idea

I dont know who had the idea that if a player has the game of the year edition ,add the dlc landmarks to velen even if the player didn' even touched the first main mission of the dlc. It just ruins the progression of completeing the landmarks. I just finished the main story and wanted do complete all of the landmark on velen, but i just simply cant because i am lvl 35 and most of the dlc mobs lvl 39-40. So if i want to complete the landmarks i must start the dlc. The game is awesome, but little details such as this can ruin the players mood during the game.

Geralt the slave

True to the books, The Witcher 3 delivers our favourite feminine warrior, servant of witches in its third and final instalment. Playing in the impersonal third person view, we follow the witcher Geralt of Rivia as he is manipulated and used by the heroines who play the main role in the story. The overall quality of the game is above average, with the combat (without mods) being average against monsters and below average against human opponents. Magic, iron swords and potions are the weapons with which Geralt does his mistresses biddings. As in the books, the main story line is quite cringe and boring with plentiful of negative stereotypes and empowerment messages. Some of the side quests were actually quite nice and enjoyable, but overall the game failed to engage me with any of its characters, least of all the main one. Despite having read the books and knowing the author is a man, while I was playing I couldn't help myself thinking that The Witcher is exactly what I would expect a woman to write (having known a few female feminist writers), so it is not surprising it found a great number of female and effeminate fans. Apart from the cringe story and characters the character and item levelling is a chore that really gets in the way. Luckily mods got rid of this major negative point, as well as improving combat and adding other neat things. So a great thanks to the modders. It is a real shame about all the political activism, which took away too much of what I might have otherwise enjoyed. But... if you like magic, feminine and negatively stereotyped men and empowered super-women I highly recommend this game. If on the other hand you know what H.E.M.A. means and are not down with current trends around gender politics and stuff you will both laugh and cringe your way through the game, if you choose to play it. Despite the engine upgrade and some great mods I see The Witcher 3 as the worst of the three games in the series.

A jank arpg that wants to be a movie

The witcher 3 suffers from a litany of gameplay issues *including quen spamming, dodge spamming, op consumes, delayed inputs, console focused format, fucking awful game pad controls, floaty and repetitive combat and awful copy paste contracts and side missions all of which is a huge issue for an arpg since your primary way of interfacing with the game is through combat and id say its like a 75/25 percent split on combat to dialogue and other side content. Speaking of the dialogue while the writing can be great more often than not when it comes to geralt or anything outside of the main story the writing is just kind of bland and banal good writing doesn't have to include memorable lines or witty quips good dialogue can just convey a concept in an interesting light but this game falls flat on its ass trying to make me care about any temporary characters that are not at the core of geralts story. Geralt himself isn't written poorly its mostly the reaction to geralt and his actions that are written poorly now im not opposed to wish fulfillment writing at all but there is a tasteful way to approach it rather than most people find you to be a gross mutant but only the coolest bros and the chicks with the biggest assets really are all up in geralt's shit which just ends up taking me out of the game even more. All in all this game while exceptional when compared to games like skyrim or most jrpgs or modern bioware games, CRPGS are on the rise with the exceptional release of disco elysium *and divinity 2, tyranny underail to a lesser extent* which puts into perspective of how much true potential there is for modern rpgs to go out there and kick ass while not needing to stick to this played out arpg formula which limits alot of what i and others truly care about in rpgs ie. the roleplaying and storytelling. I'm glad we are at a point where we don't need the witcher 3 to show us what good rpgs can be and i hope it stays that way.
