Plenty of games use fast travel hubs, it's not unusual at all. Fast travel is totally fine. If travelling/game world is boring enough that you're compelled to skip it, then that's on the devs not the players. If the world isn't sterile and empty then people are more likely to want to go wander in it.

Fast travel is fine, you can choose to not use it if you enjoy walking.

The endless joy of trudging through areas where you have already seen all the content. Also when I watch a new episode of a TV show, I first watch all the old episodes, otherwise I would feel like a dirty casual.

It feels like its an unpopular opinion at this point to say you like bethesda games. the backlash has just been growing and growing for years. I'll defend them, but i recognize they are teaspoon shallow and dont ever have great combat or RPG mechanics, the things they do that no one else even comes close to as far as allowing you to build your own character and RP your own adventures are great though. Plus the community mod support is wonderful.

The only reason why Witcher series is popular among gamers is because witchers are fantasy autistics. Witchers at young age get forcefully exposed to dangerous chemicals which strips them of emotions, makes them social outcasts and gives them superpowers, except instead of getting the superpower of being able to recite all the episodes of Rick & Morty or making really good model trains it's the superpower of being able to fight good and cast magic. It all adds up. That makes Geralt a perfect relatable gamer(tm) hero.

I can understand not liking parts of the game but it's hard to deny that it's a very high-quality, polished game.

I quit playing Persona 5 because I went through like an hour and a half stretch of nothing but dialogue. I seriously played it 3 nights in a row and didn't get into a single battle.

Combat in W3 is good without being overbearing and tedious like in Dark Souls or Nioh.

Nioh combat isn't overbearing. If you're not a mongoloid you'll get it by the end of the first region. And it's anything but tedious with the variety of special moves and movesets unique to each weapon.

It sold like poo poo tho, and the studio (Grin) that made it was shuttered shortly thereafter. At the time Japanese devs couldn't do poo poo with gen 7 console hardware and so they were experimenting with licensing japanese properties to western devs. Eidos also almost made a Final Fantasy game for Square but it was cancelled and buried. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl6mG3U4vaY basic hitler posted:I bet you think dark souls or MH has good gameplay Yes?

That being said it also was super over the top, with great level design and music. One of my favorite games of that gen. Too bad it wasn't better optimized to reduce loading times, but hey, the loving PS3 amirite?

Sodomy Hussein posted:Dark Souls, famous innovator of "roll constantly" gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zW-AZdSNxGk&t=5484s I mean, say what you will but it's a remarkable refinement of certain basic control principles. Having shoulder buttons represent arms in a hack and slash rpgs or games in general seems like a no-brainer, but before Demon's Souls came along devs weren't really doing it, among myriad other industry standard innovations that DeS and DS1 brought along. I'm not the biggest fan of Resident Evil 4 but it did a similar thing with over-the-shoulder camera/aim controls. These types of subtle advancements ripple out through the industry. They should be and are recognized as significant.

You can tell that the sword combat is supposed to mimic AA's melee combat but they just included the most basic elements of that system without including any of the bits that made it fun and interesting, and then they added some flourishes that make Geralt's moveset nondeterministic and weird. Go play the games next to each other and see how eerily similar but lacking the W3 combat is. It's not a secret that the gameplay is not that game's strength, and that's okay QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Sep 29, 2018 |
