Is there any other game as breathtaking in scope and fidelity as the Witcher 3?

Solution: Cyberpunk 2077

Its funny to think about, there is literally zero games that have done what 2077 is going to do.

Unatco?

>Guards don't react to being pushed by a horse
>That pop in on the guards on the other end of the bridge

...

Same, but I really enjoyed the world the the Witcher because the fantasy isn't overdone. The game is an ode to peasantry and kings first and foremost, the fantasy part is added later.

>those NPCs sliding to the side with no change in animation

Even TW1 had pushing people aside ffs.

Gothic 3 was much more enjoyable.

Is it a witcher trait to have an invisible bubble at your feet at all times?

What is it going to do? Not trying to challenge the statement, just trying to hop aboard the mach-ten hype train.

Open world cyberpnuk

Asscreed games

I understand what you're saying but imagine every npc going hostile when you accidently hit them while riding.
I agree that they couldve animated it at least tho.

Fuck off

That looks weird indeed.

Irrc even ac1 to 3 has that animated and npc react and guards only go suspicious unless full on tackle them

fun fact: the gravity in slavland is perpetually fucked by the courses of nature, causing weird anomalies like this

gothic 3 could have been phenomenal with

not flat out broken gameplay
factions actaully mattering (with more of an simulation aspect)
more content in the desert and nordmar zone

In general I think that most rpgs have taken a wrong turn with a cinemtaic and linear story. I would like to see world simulation much more in rpgs.

Because of this I am pretty hyped for The Guild 3

Open world cyberpunk, mainly taking place in a city with few rural areas. It's gonna have augments, cyberpunk vehicles, weapons, character creator, classes etc.

I thought the same but give it a try, it really is a great game.

DLC SALE WHEN? GOTY EDITION WITH ALL DLC ALREADY AND AND STILL NO SALE
FUCK U JUDEN

Skyrim

lord of the rings

Skyrim has countless porn mods

Playing as Geralt just turns me off. Are there like mods to fuck people?

or have the best of both worlds

>Solution: Cyberpunk 2077
I am no longer convinced about CP2077 and CDPR

It will be a solid or even great game, but knowing CDPR The only thing that they will really tacle is the scope of the project, but the game itself will not have much meat to its core. They are going to push out a generic AAA game that dares too little.

But Cyberpunk is anything but generic. CDPR pretty much admitted that they were getting tired of working on the witcher while making 3 and they have a bunch of things they want to do better/differently for 2077.

Fallout 4

Literally any open world game released in the last five years?

havnt even pplayed this or anything but im stopping in to say i cant put my finger on what it is but god damn the mountains look god tier in this game, only time ive seen it come close is in skyboxes in a linear game

Skyrim's mountains are better because you can climb them

But can you slide down them?

Didn't think so.

doesn't happen if you don't play on a toaster.

well yeah the setting itself is more "original" than the one from witcher, but when their philiosophy on developing the game stays the same as in witcher 3. I see no hope in it.
It will be great and fun, but in the end generic just as witcher 3. Honestly I did not find the setting in W3 generic especially the one in D&W, it was quite original and well built, but the gameplay and the way the story was told were pretty generic.
+while the world felt alive and in motion it still was just scenery that did not really matter in the end

>knowing CDPR based on the one latest game they've done and nothing else.

Because then you would be complaining about having to wait for guards to move so you can ride your horse past or run into them and have to fight.

W3 was their best game so far

W3>W1>W2

none of them were really ambitious. No idea why I hoped for W3 to be anything else. You could see the direction they were going with W2 so yeah you are right. I should have known better.

I've just recently started to play The Witcher III, and while it's a great game, the world feels GTA-like. It's closer to RDR than it is to a TES game, good as the writing is. Skyrim is still played because of countless mods and ways to play the game.

I do miss Morrowind, though.

...

Skyrim and with mods even to the point that its not even a contest anymore.

Are witcherfags by far the most cancerous fanbase on Cred Forums now? Not even Kojima fans can keep up anymore.

CDPR leadership is ambitious.
They ported w2 into xbox which was a long road of technical difficulties, then decided to make an open world game where no one knew if the investment was going to work before years after the developement when they got the alpha into a playable state.

yes they are and I said so, but only in terms of the scope of the project.

But the game itself (gameplay, interactivity, roleplaying) is developed as safe as you can imagine.

Nintendrones still take the crown.

Which less than 10 people are virgin enough to use.

your webm a shit

>JC2
Avalanche does a really good job with their world design. The Mad Max game from them looks pretty good too.

That's true, but goddamn is it close.

Uncharted 4, The Order 1886, Crysis, but I'm not saying that these games are any near as good as Witcher 3 is, but it is undeniable that their visual fidelity are impressive.

I think that Mafia II is also pretty neat in graphics on the last generation. It may not be a WAAAW MUH GOD SO REAL but it doesnt have anything off. Like a weird character or a place that doesnt look nothing like anything else in the game. To me, one of the best games of last generation from gameplay, tech and history.

>the skyrim shill strikes again

every single witcher thread there you are

I wish rockstar used a similar system to work the world of GTA 5 like JC 2 does. It streamline it perfectly so you will not easily notice things like fake physics and ghost cop cars.

That screenshot tool was great

I was just thinking that after finishing my second playthrough including dlc and I'm sad that I may not see a better game for a long time.
It's probably my favorite game, if not very fucking close to being my favorite.

Couldn't they fade out the foliage after it leaves the screen?

Black Desert Online tbqh

Goddamn just look at this, stunning.

There is a mod to play as other characters in game.
Google Geralt Doppler.

As much as I loved witcher 3 and its expansions, the game really should have had a smaller, more well put together world. Too much useless running around and pointless areas. Now its fine to have long fields and big forests to run around in, but there was simply too much of it and the areas were filled with stupid "activities". oddly enough many of the sidequests in random areas were great, but I truly wish CDprojekt will do a smaller scale world in cyberpunk. We dont need MASSIVE worlds. I want better, well crafted designs back.

Is this a joke? The incredibly low draw distance, shitty engine, pop in everywhere no matter how you tweak the settings beyond the maximum spec. Its a fucking mess and anyone playing it has some incredibly low standards.

yep

There really isn't. Started playing the DLCs a few days back... forgot how badass CDPR is. I'm pretty sure they're all descendants of Lucifer.

NOPE

There's so much foliage that it would create vision issues. Also people were abusing the camera to look up women's skirts.

runescape

>can't play this game without massive stuttering because fuckhuge textures

any way around this besides a new video card?

>using anything but snow and settime(400000) in Toussaint
Plebs and Whoresons

What fucking folklore bullshit are you talking about you complete moron? It's a generic medieval fantasy setting, like the user said.There's nothing special about it that hasn't been done a hundred billion times before you drooling fucking retard.

The game's entire world is based on european folklore. Generic fantasy is the tripe you see in standard Tolkien rip-offs like Warhammer, Warcraft or TES, with orcs and such.

Witcher's design stems from actual folklore and mythology, e.g. hags, strigas, sirens, crones (baba yaga).

The story and the setting is amazing, but combat is mediocre at best,. Most of the fun gameplay I experienced was playing Gwent. in fact I wouldn't be surprised if the whole franchise was developed just to introduce their standalone Gwent game

Witcher 3 is simply static, everything is controlled and segregated.
It looks nice but barely any of it is interactive.
Anything that is is controlled through cutscenes.
Nothing is reactive, if you do a quest to kill a werewolf in his cave, coming back during daytime will have no effect, the werewolf will still be in there patiently waiting for you.

Name one game that isn't static.

It's so incredible looking

said the guy who never played the game. The world absolutely reacts to actions taken and choices made.

To this day I have not been able to get motion blur to work. No idea why it doesn't like my machine.

Only in tightly controlled scenario's, if the guards jump you in the tavern, you cant run away and not kill them therfor avoiding having to sneak in to the Barons fort, its an A/B choice in a cutscene, actual gameplay within the world outside of cutscwnes has little to no choice left up to the player.

Hey, that's Skyrim.

I used to use those exact mods. And the same ENB.

So you never played the game.

DELETE THIS

Sorry I ruined your shitposting, user. But I don't know how to delete posts.

I loved killing the same exact thugs on the same exact corner of Novigrad 20 times, so reactive.

It really is.

Star Citizen, when it finally launches.

...

>Uncharted 4
It does look pretty good for being made to run on a console.

...

Fuck it. I'm not even gonna bother, you're a complete idiot. I'm off to play video games.

Holy shit. What kind of PC does it take to run Mad Max like this?

>made me dig up my screenshots

My internet was out for a week when this game came out.
I played the absolute fuck out of it, despite it being a really generic open world game.

How many fantasy games have you played besides witcher exactly? Of all the things to say arent generic, fucking sirens? Really?

...

...

Because I'm right and you can't think of a counter-argument.

well it is very well optimised

The only game which has done what the Witcher series has is Fable. Can you find another one which attempts to integrate folklore into their universe?

Gothic, Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, Dark Messiah, Divinity, Diablo, those are all generic fantasy.

...

>idiot
>says the one who can't distinguish between different types of fantasy and just collects them under 'medieval'

You need to do more reading.

I wouldn't put Gothic on the same shelf as the other games. There were no stereotypical races like dwarves and elves (only orcs iirc) and many monsters did not appear in other fantasy pieces that I know.

None. The content outside the main story is enough to create 2 more games at least.

>Too much useless running around and pointless areas.
This is the thing I'm pointing at. Most other games are structured so you'll come across all major content following the main storyline. This is efficient, minimal content with the biggest impact. W3 isn't structured like this, which turns out is just confusing to plebians used to common console titles.

I see where youre coming from now, you mean what game actually explains where the monsters come from right? Like hobbs in Fable are children who got lost etc. in that regard witcher games take the cake,yes, BUT the creatures themselves are in no way unique or original as most appear in other games, they have a concrete origin other than "magic"

...

My feelings about open world are contrary. I sometimes feel that games should be bigger and emptier, and travels should be longer. That should be made up for by making activities in cities qnd other places more interesting and diverse (not more numerous).

I hate the feeling that the world I'm playing in exist only for the character.

Red Faction Guerrilla - Buildings stay fucked up
Far Cry 2 - Buddies catch a stray bullet stay dead
Souls - Perma death kill anyone anytime, shoot an arrow into some tits bring about total darkness forever, npcs do their own thing, tons of other in game options for effecting the world
Not saying these games are perfect Sims or anythin but at least they don't always need bookended cutscenes, no life npcs or controlled environments.

No, I mean european folklore. You do know what folklore means right? Actual mythologies derived from actual cultures, e.g. tales of sirens, fairy tales of strigas.

The standard fantasy prevalent in the west is heavily influenced by Tolkien (Warcraft), but the Witcher books and series use items from lore in European culture.

Yeah but saying that Witcher is based on LOTR or DnD or anything is like saying that humans come from modern chimps.

Are you that Cyberpunk guy? Stop it.

The Witcher franchise uses more scarcely utilised slavic folklore.

It's sci fi

I wish they could've somehow fixed the draw distance like this in a lot of places in the base game.

Who?

Majora's Mask. And yes, that even has kill-able NPCs.

>shoot an arrow into some tits bring about total darkness forever

I've mentioned this in another thread, but this is probably the most terrifying thing I've seen that is possible in a game. In fact, it surprises me how fucking fantastically well the Japanese handle decisions like this in games when they actually do do implement them.

>Nothing is reactive, if you do a quest to kill a werewolf in his cave

I just did this one. And while I find the gameplay to be super repetitive at this point, I at least appreciate that that quest in particular actively rewards you for being a dick and screwing over everyone involved as hard as possible.

>generic

>Instead of being some fucking knight respected by all you are a fucking mutant
>people think you are subhuman and treat you like trash
>you actually see peasants as a fucking peasants who just walk around and curse left and right instead of everyone living in a happy village

>G E N E R I C M E D I E V A L

It runs at 30fps but the animations are just so smooth. It's the first time that 30fps hasn't bothered me in a third person console shooter.

>game with shitton mods that costs like $5 at this point got more players
wow

Also witcher was WAY more popular on consoles...

There's a game already called Skyrim. It has more accolades than TW3. Sorry, Polacks.

>demihuman in a fantasy setting
>U N I Q U E A N D I N N O V A T I V E

>Also witcher was WAY more popular on consoles...
Skyrim sold more on consoles and more than TW3.

But can you climb that mountain?

What 'dynamic' choices does the game offer then? It doesn't even let you kill things that aren't specifically designated as kill-able.

Minecraft

>and have to fight
Or ride away since you're on a fucking horse, retard.

>It doesn't even let you kill things that aren't specifically designated as kill-able
>This is what passes as dynamic choice to Bethestards
Go play Deus Ex and then come back.

Oh hello, I heard this was the Mad Max screenshot posting thread.

>Over a year
>Still triggering Biodrones, Bethestards, and Thebull94
Based. Funny how W3 is still getting threads when none of the other 2015 games can get threads.

fucking game was so well optimized, ran like butter and was comfy as hell

>none of the other 2015 games can get threads.
>literally "I only visit Cred Forums to shill TW3: The Post"

also
>people talking about a game = being triggered

Worth getting on PS4 at all? Hows the game play.

...

How is this game? I considered buying it a few weeks ago but went against it. Any new consensus?

>>literally "I only visit Cred Forums to shill TW3: The Post"
>When the vast majority of W3 threads are thebull94 being a triggered little bitch
Also
>A redditter making threads about how DAI is totally as gud as W3 guise!1!!!
>Not triggered

Only one shilling W3 is thebull94. Hopefully he'll switch to MEA soon so everyone can start mocking Bioware.

It's good if you can get it for cheap
Driving and vehicle combat is great, amazing graphics, typical open world collectathon bullshit, ground combat is rather generic banham style with a little more meat to it
Bought it for 21 bucks at release, didn't regret it

I've heard it's like a Ubisoft game. Pretty but utterly barren. Maybe worth a pirate on a slow weekend.

>le thebull94 boogeyman

Everytime someone tries to sound reasonable cdpr shilling force brings up Dark Souls, Bloodborne or Dragon's Dogma or just ignore the post.

played it on PC so no idea how it is on the ps4

The gameplay is pretty repetitive and it shows that the game was a little rushed but everything just works, it's a really comfy game to play. The driving is amazing, exploding other cars with the Thunderpoon never gets old and the fighting is satisfying as fuck. Amazing sound design as well, everything from the car revving up and the punches connecting sounds amazing.

I have 48 hours on the game and personally it was very much up my alley, but if you get bored easily by repetitive tasks it may not be worth it for you. Think first Assassin's Creed repetition.

Not him but I just started playing it since it was ten bucks on Steam. It's really good. However, apart from the car combat the game isn't very original, you find a hot air balloon to scope the area and then you go and clear camps, so it's basically FarCry 3 but I feel like the car combat makes up for it and doing that shit to upgrade your vehicle makes it more motivating.

>another thebull94 thread
Jesus you are worse than barneyfag

>>le thebull94 boogeyman
>Literally proven to be a redditer
>H-he's not real guys, STOP IT STOP IIIIIIIITTTTTTT.
Why so triggered bull? We're not even talking about W3 combat. I hope you're making bank from all the shilling you're paid to do.

>Think first Assassin's Creed repetition.
Maybe Ill give it a miss till its cheaper, I fucking loathed that. Looks visually impressive though.

>A literal redditer gets replies
Why is this allowed? Cred Forums is full of fucking newfags these days I bet he feels right at home.

Not as repetitive as that. Think more FarCry 3.

How do we save The Witcher series? It has gone to shit as of late, especially it's fanbase.

>Instead of being some fucking knight respected by all you are a fucking mutant

Yes this changes absolutely everything. Previously, all fantasy RPGs involved the player taking on the role of a knight out of a medieval romance, so playing a nobody who is discriminated against, in a gritty setting (just like my Game of Thrones TV series!) is the most original and creative thing they could do. Congratulations.

>Everytime I try to shitpost people point out that I'm a retarded redditer who literally spends all day making Witcher threads
Fixed.

Well if we banned thebull94 the threads would stop.
Witcher came before ASoIaF though retard.

>How do we save The Witcher series?

What was there ever to save? It was always exactly as tedious as it is now.

...

>CDPR invented Witcher
Are you retarded?

...

witcher 3 gets threads because of the dlc and how overrated it is similar to last of us. Even then its next to non existent. In fact comparing it to other games reminds me how dead the discussions are and how bad the game is.

Do you wanna know whats really funny? Witcher 3 is the only game from 2015 to not have its own general on /vg/. Its because the game is very shallow and generic and is only talked about by slavs and pseudo intellectuals who think cliche tolkien tripe is interesting.

I don't know. the Witcherbros were the ones who helped purge Cred Forums of the cancer of Biodrones. It's sad to see the same cancer now infect them.

I thought bioware was the one to purge the world from biodrones.

>literally proven to be a redditer

Sure, but does that mean that everyone who dislikes The Witcher 3 is thebull94? Fuck off faggot. "thebull94" is literally "git gud" of witcherfags.

>only one person tries to discuss The Witcher 3 and if it's something negative about it it's definitely shitposting

you should've visited DAI thread yesterday, they are just in hiding
wait for andromeda, it's going to be glorious

>witcher 3 gets threads because EA pays me to shitpost about the game in order to shill ME:A
Fixed.

Just checked the general is still up. MGSV is the one whose general died thanks to Joostfag. But what the fuck does that even matter? All the generals are pure cancer, even the DS ones, having a general isn't really a fucking badge of honor.

And having shill threads on Cred Forums for generic fantasy crap isnt an achievement.

>STOP TALKING SHIT ABOUT MY FAVORITE GAME Y-YOU'RE ALL THEBULL :c

about being triggered

this is actually valid PR tactic, they teach that in seminars now days, seriously
works mostly for politics in authoritarian regimes, but i'd say it works on Cred Forums as well

Doesn't mean everyone. But when the same pic with the same bait is posted over and over again? And a thread with this pic is where thebull94 Reddit account is found and then immediately deleted? Really makes you wonder.

>Witcher came before ASoIaF

Yes, bring up something something I never implied was otherwise. The Witcher games came out well after so many other games and don't have much in their setting or mechanics that makes them stand out against so much other stuff that came before.

>STOP CALLING ME OUT ON MY SHILLING AND BEING FROM REDDIT
Lmao how mad are you?

...

Of course that's shitposting bait and this faggot should be banned, I'm talking about normal discussing The Witcher 3 and people who immediately rush into the discussion and start spewing out bullshit
>I bet you like Bloodborne!
>haha thebull94
>loving this meme

pic related senpai

they managed to combine bg2 and gothic 2
that's something unique i'd say

Which is better Shadow of Mordor or Witcher 3?

>S-stop p-PLEEASEEEEEEEEE

what's better cod2 or dark messiah of might and magic?

I dunno, I didn't play either

The guy who did that also did this. And since thebull94 is a Biodrone well.

What's there to discuss? Combat is the weakest part as it was for all previous Witcher games. Game suffers from using Witcher senses too much. Overall it's a rather solid first attempt at an open world game.

Also bull we know you spent time in the Witcher General. Then you went full autism because they insulted Triss or some shit so now you hate Witcher.

Tons of D&D based games have settings with sources taken from the 70s or much earlier. Why act like the Witcher games are special, or like I'm saying anything about the books? Because the MC and his cohorts are recurring characters?

>actually liking witcher 3
>game has awful gameplay and garbage combat
>compensate for shitty gameplay by focusing on writing and story
>writing and story ends up being cliche and boring
>WTF HOW CAN U NOT LIEK WITCHER 3

Its literally a western version of ff13 where the only redeeming features are graphics and soundtrack. Slavs should have stuck to making movies instead of games.

What counts as a Biodrones? Because I will happily praise their infinity engine games.

Because when you say
>they
it implies CDPR came up with the concept dumbass. Unless you expect me to believe you're referring to Sapowski.

I didn't say anything bad about The Witcher 3 combat in any of my posts in this thread, what are you talking about? I think that TW3 is pretty good but I'm sad that the community is reaching fucking soulsfags level of retardation. The general is just as bad, the only good threads are the late night ones. For example yesterday there was one starting with a question about Letho and it was comfy as fuck.

>Actually hating W3
>No DRM bullshit
>Complete game unlike half the games in 2015
>Actually different endings unlike ME3

It's more about do you shill their recent games made by nuBioware.

>no drm bullshit
>complete game
HOLY SHIT. if this is true then forget about the shitty gameplay, writing and story and lets start another shill thread. I mean its not like there have been other games that have done this....r-r-right?

>actual different endings
Who gives a fuck. Me3 was trash and so is this game even if you had a million endings. The game is so bad you will never even want to reach the ending anyway. Watch that shit on youtube and save yourself the money.

And notice how not a single one of those witcher scores has even topped skyrim. Pathetic.

>they

How? I said "thing they could do", I never even implied that they invented the specific setting, as I assumed we were talking about the games. If you want to argue the comparative originality of Forgotten Realms though, be my guest.

>has even topped skyrim
Blew the fuck out of DAI and FO4 though ;)

Ocarina of Time. Its a much better game too.

>Its a much better game too.

That goes without saying. The Witcher couldn't dream of having so much of its content be so unique and creative or having the way you interact with everything change so much over the course of the game. Ocarina is smaller, but there's barely anything that could be called filler.

Yes with mods (not on PS4)
