Honestly never clicked with witcher 3. The characters and world are great but the gameplay was so incredibly dull.
Same. It's just so damn long, and 90% of it is nothing you haven't seen within the first hour of gameplay. I just went and found a compilation of the cutscenes and segments of gameplay that furthered the story in someway to finish the story because it was just mind numbing to actually play.
The best trick for that is to put combat difficulty on easy and just play it for the great writing.
That would just be even more dull imho. The combat was already incredibly janky. The only thing that gave it any dynamic was needing to utilize all your tools.
Nah, the just combat sucks. It’s some bastard mix of Dark Souls and the Batman Arkham games. It ends up being worse than either of them and not very fun of rewarding at all.
The quicker it’s over the sooner people can get back to enjoying the great story, soundtrack and visuals.
For me that was with Witcher 2 and i just couldn't enjoy it, played the crap out of the first game and then tried and skipped the second one and then when Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition came out was really when i came back to the series and i know everyone loved the second one but there was just something off putting with the second game.
Finally someone who agrees with my sentiment. I have been saying for years (in my private offline circles) that the Witcher 2 is the runt of that litter!
