I think it does too, it's just still not "greatest game of all time" material that people make it out to be, and a lot of flaws exist in it that people ignore.

first of all i want to know waht your greatest game of all time is.

I'd go as far to say it is great, but it is by no means transcendental. And yeah, I still like Dragon Age a lot better.

fallout 4 was a step down from even fallout 3 in every aspect other than combat and even then the combat wasn't good enough to make up for everything else like encounter design and pacing and overall cohesion being much worse

All the Nick Valentine related quests are better than any 3 quest. The entire game should've been Nick Valentine and friends solving mysteries tbh

i also agree with the fact that heller changed the calculus somewhat. He's been a good party soldier up until this point and collins and murkowski being critical while not coming out and saying "we won't vote for this crap" indicated that the internal deliberations were still ongoing and McConnell had his caucus generally on board. Heller felt absolutely required to come out firmly against, and that's changed things.

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

i think this is also fair, because i think there's plenty of maneuvering to get to yes rn. The question is whether or not you can get 50 votes maneuvered into place

every other character had their own plot line that would have made a more interesting game to base off of than the actual main character

which is a pretty common theme among bethesda games. i understand it for everything but fallout 4, which your character has no actual reason to just go around moleying everything and everywhere

It's a Polish setting that liberally uses mythology from non-Polish sources, but doesn't show non-whites at all because "whoops we forgot they exist"

Witcher 3 has better animations, but Inquisition has better customization.

The reason given by the main dev is his claim that there were no black people in Medieval "Bohemia".

Maybe he's right, but it's a game filled with monsters and magic set in a fantasy world not a medieval Poland simulator.

The politics (and optics!) are a lot different. Global culture is effectively dominated by images of white people, so having yet another all white game is not great.

I said repeatedly just now that the Witcher 3 is a great game lol

it's not the "greatest game" though which is a fair assessment!

I feel like if I post this in the Witcher thread, I'll be run off, and if I post it in the Dragon Age thread... I'll also be run off so I'm posting it in the Trmup Thread.

After finally playing The Witcher 3, and being nearly done with the base game, it's undoubtedly good, but it is no way "the best game ever", and a lot of the flaws it has are the very same flaws that video game nerds complained about with Inquisition (like the fact that the vast majority of W3's open world secondary quests are garbage. also it's funny that they complain about bioware romances being bad when every woman in the witcher is desperate to gently caress Geralt). It also has literally no non-white people, and only like 1.5 gay people, which is kind of hosed up.

Its good and the romances are good because its funny that geralt has terrible taste in women. I really enjoyed watching him make terrible decisions like diving into sewage and swimming 20 feet under water to retrieve 10g worth of alchemy supplies, or giving half his gwent winnings away to someone because they were hot enough that he couldn't say no.
