You all make this game out to be the game of the decade, as if it isn't riddled with problems that start from the very beginning.
Bugs, fucking bugs everywhere. Fucking getting stuck, quests often disappear, NPCs you have to have dialog with are unreachable because the game won't FUCKING ALLOW YOU TO PRESS THE ACTION BUTTON.
The combat was subpar, I liked the Witcher 2 a lot more for this very reason. It was more difficult, less streamlined and relied on dodging and attacking at the right moments rather than just using Quen and Igni over and fucking over again.
Granted, the world was huge and it was often fun to explore. The effects, like the sunlight and evening were gorgeous, and I applaud the dev team on that accomplishment. The graphics were pretty good, turning on AA made a huge difference.
However, graphics don't make a game. While the game had some pretty visuals, there's plenty more to complain about.
I STILL hate the crafting system, it feels useless. Gathering shit just takes unnecessary time that I could be using to do quests and killing monsters. Why the fuck do I need to make an oil in order to fight some poltergeist? They're weak against a certain spell, just focus on that instead.
Or you know the fuck what? Why didn't CDproject focus on FUCKING COMBAT so it wasn't such SHIT? Why did they make the dodge animation so generic and boring? I loved the barrel roll, it was fun to use and often got you out of sticky situations.
But fuck actually focusing on combat and fun dialog, no. We're going dumb down the dialog for the faggotass casual consumers who don't want too much story and care more about memes, are used to severely limited dialog choices, and love slower combat.
Sure, the world is big. Sure, the game is comfy in some aspects, and SURE, a lot of people wished the experience would never end.
However, I am not one of those people. I bought the game, the two expansion packs and relied so heavily on modding that I might as well played an entirely different game.
Also, fuck the outfits in this game, they all look terrible.
