The Witcher 3 is one of those games that comes out like every 10 years that just blows away everything else around it, and although I didn't mind it I wish the gameplay was a little bit better though

Kaedric posted:

Yes, it shows how magical the game is that it is Literally The Best Game even with its gameplay flaws.

Doesn't this just mean it's more of an interactive movie? I only got halfway through 1 & 2, because it felt like just running back and forth between cut-scenes. I just kept thinking that I could watch 20 movies in the same amount of time. At least with Skyrim or Fallout 4 I would encounter a bunch of enemies that I could "gameplay" to death. It just feels weird having my hand off my keyboard for more than a few minutes. Is 3 going to win me over?

Whenever people describe a game as "chill" it's almost always just a synonym for "boring+nothing to do". Even leading up the only selling point seemed to be "the universe is really huge" but all I ever heard about what you actually do is "it's just going to be chill man". Like minecraft - the world is really big, but it's all more or less the same everywhere so "exploring" is very repetitive...but at least there was stuff to do besides that.

Yeah, Minecraft is a better chill game, turn on Peaceful mode and you can build lava penises or dig through caves or do whatever the gently caress you want and the only thing that can gently caress you up is getting lost or a long fall, both of which you could fix with mods

this is very accurate. "Chill" games tend to have the same entertainment capacity as a lava lamp.

No man's sky doesn't even have that though

Get a lunchbox and fill it with stuff, watch the old windows star field simulator for two minutes, take some stuff out of the lunchbox and put some monopoly money in your pocket and you have done literally everything there is to do in nms.

except even before circuits there was still fun stuff to do, I must have explored a dumb cave for hours just laying down torches and trying to figure out where the end of it was, and eventually getting down to diamonds and lava

If I did that in NMS today I would just get stuck in a cave at about the same height level throughout, find nothing new further in and eventually get bored and grenade my way out the top

That is pretty much the ongoing theme with this game, everything it could do right it just falls short, never mind the poo poo that dumbasses thought it would do and didn't

Witcher 3 sounds good but actually instead of that I'm gonna buy The Last Train and that one Adventure game about the kid who's trapped in an evil facility (just as soon as I can remember the name).

Inside. It's pretty good with the obligatory occasional twitchy parts you get in 2D sidescrolling platformers.

There is plenty of gameplay, exploration and combat along with the cutscenes. I haven't played it in awhile and there have been tons of patches so it might be fixed but I found the combat at times to be frustrating sometimes because you couldn't interrupt the animations and it also queued the buttons too, or something, I'm not really sure, I just found it to not be as satisfying as it could have been. It's like they were going for a Dark Souls combat experience and missed the mark, but it's still perfectly fine though.

ETS2 is less a german occupation sim and more a "laying in the backseat of a car at night in the rain with the radio playing" simulator

I still think ETS2 is just an excuse for people to listen to music, because they are not conditioned to just lay back without something to occupy their hands and eyes.

You should download Space Engine instead. It's a much better universe stimulation without any pretense of "gameplay" or "engagement". Also it's free.
