LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:The driving fantasy of TW3 is being the super studly manly fucksgood Geralt. Not at all. Witcher 3 makes it pretty clear that, while a badass fighter, at the end of the day Geralt is almost powerless when it comes to fighting the primary antagonist of the series. The Wild Hunt is just beyond him, not just in numbers but also in terms of their supernatural abilities. So he has to turn to strong female characters for help, multiple times, and at key points in the story.

In the first zone of Witcher 3 Geralt goes through several steps to summon and deal with a ghost haunting a small abandoned hamlet (I forget why it's there). The point is while he could kill it that one single supernatural enemy was a big deal to him. Of course he was going to be outmatched by a dimension skipping professional army.

Another key thing about the TW3 is that Geralt is a relic of a time long past and simply isn't needed by the world anymore. The very first quest points out that a bunch of soldiers with crossbows can basically do his job. There's a side quest where his profession is summed up by an official as a glorified vermin exterminator. There's plenty of points where Geralt is lied to, tricked, or generally caught off guard by the new way of doing things. His whole relationship with Ciri is about him learning that his daughter has to go out into the world and achieve her destiny without him. There's this whole thing running through the game where Geralt can cling to his old, dying way of life - or embrace change and try something new and break with tradition. It's a game about being a father and a game about moving on. Bioware doesn't even attempt that level of thematic cohesion in their narrative. edit: Well, to be fair, they attempt it. There's a big thing about inter-generational conflict running through the trilogy but it's pretty muddled. Like, you can always tell who has never actually played TW3 because they sum up Geralt as "super studly manly fucksgood" and cite it as a reason to not play it? All the people circlejerking earlier about hype or whatever was kind of marvelous. People like talking about things that are good, and TW3 is a very good RPG and story. Milkfred E.

Number Ten Cocks posted:Does Geralt prefer biotic charge or singularity? And are his women naturally lie or do they just lay the woad on thick? Ehhh I think that's really missing the issue with Destiny. Destiny has fantastic lore and does a great job creating a weird high-concept science fantasy kind of world, then...doesn't really do much with it in the actual game's plot. The plot and character interactions aren't even really bad they're just aggressively mediocre. Destiny is disappointing because it has a lot of potential that it doesn't live up to. Gameplay's great though.

Zakmonster posted:GTA? Not really an RPG, but it is open world. You've also got Farcry and Assassin's Creed, which both have RPG elements and are open-world in nature. Neither of those require anywhere close to the amount of facial animation that Mass Effect games do, is the thing. The animations in ME:A aren't jacked up because of Frostbite or because Bioware's animators aren't talented or because they're lazy, it's because they bit off way more than they could get to a really cinematic level of polish, and apparently thought that was a fair tradeoff for whatever else IS in the game. Like having ten times as many lines of dialogue as the last game (personally I'm not sure why they keep upping the ante with amount of dialogue--i feel like they'd see diminishing returns pretty fast). Time will tell I guess?

The child was the crucible which you spent the entire game building It was lame that the concept was introduced in the third installment though.. Woulda been cooler if it was a thing you had been working towards for all 3 games, knowingly or unknowingly. The concept of a weapon against the reapers that previous extinct civilizations started work on and then it continued like this through the ages with Shepard finally being the dude who was a bad enough dude to finally use it against the reapers was cool as gently caress imo... but they barely touched on it in the game itself Zzulu fucked around with this message at 07:55 on Mar 13, 2017 |

But of course I was always amused that Bioware decided to give Shepard some crazy PTSD flashbacks of that dumb little kid in the first place, as well as several dream sequences about that. I was NOT amused by the slo-mo running bullshit, however.

Haledjian posted:Neither of those require anywhere close to the amount of facial animation that Mass Effect games do, is the thing. No, I get it. I made a similar argument a few pages back (Jesus for such a bad game, this thread sure moves fast). Every game has to make sacrifices in order to meet budget/deadline, and I guess Bioware decided to sacrifice the more common animations. As long as the other bits of the game that they sacrificed for as great, then it will be a good game.

It's a game about being a father and a game about moving on. Never looked at it this way. I always thought the poor reaction Geralt got from random peasants was because he was a literal mutie freak and his presence meant that some bad poo poo had happened/will happen. He's the guy you turn to when face-eating monsters are knocking on your door, that type of person isn't always going to be welcome, especially in the broke-down superstitious hovels that make up majority of the Witcher landscape. Like, the only people who like him are the guys in Skellige, because they're all about physical/mental prowess and Geralt is good at his job, so they respect that.

I really enjoyed the world building in The first Mass Effect and hope bioware can provide the same sense of wonder. Those were cool moments when the Vigil theme played. I hope they still use that theme. Also does anyone else think peebee looks extremely like Amy Schumer. Like a literal Asari Amy Schumer.
