I tried all 3 games too, but they all fell to the wayside after a while. I actually got a few hours into Witcher1, but it bored me out of my mind, so I gave up on it. Then the Witcher 2 actually seemed better for a while. The combat was atrocious though, but I still managed to get 5 or 6 hours into it, when one of Geralt's *******ries brake the horse's back for me. Geralt is one of the least likeable protagonists I've ever played.I've never been able to get into the Witcher series. I know its beloved in the community, and I've tried. I bought the first Witcher game on sale for a few bucks to try to give it an honest try, but I didn't last 10 minutes before I lost interest.
As for Witcher 3 it was a combination of Geralt being an ahole, and the mediocre outdated combat that made Skyrim look like a masterpiece.
I don't mind the fantasy genre, I enjoyed a lot of fantasy games, but still couldn't get into Witcher, I hope the next game might change that, which hints at a possibility of having a new protagonist, maybe even a custom one, which would mean a world of difference.I guess it's the combination of things I don't like that kill the series for me. Fantasy genre is one, and third person perspective is the other.
I'm only aware of two Dishonored games. Unless you count the expansion as a separate game.I wanted to give it an honest try, because I thought I would hate the Dishonored series, but I actually quite liked the first two (haven't played the third yet) despite the magic/mana nonsense.
I think they are hoping for a newcomer audience who wasn't yet a gamer when the game released. It's commendable that they don't want to peel another skin off of existing fans.That said, I wonder what is in it for them to make this Witcher 3 upgrade at this point. I mean, surely by now everyone who wants Witcher 3 has bought it already. And if they make it a free upgrade, then we are looking at lots of cost to update it, and not much added revenue.
Oh, I found it less than usable, especially with how you as the player was supposed to remember witcher knowledge to be effective.While I do like the witcher 3, you kinda have to play it for the story, never found the combat of a CDPR game to be anything more then usable.
I agree completely,To me combat is secondary. I want a couple things to enjoy a game today.
1. Cool story.
2. Good Graphics.. Sorry Indy studio your cell shaded graphics that look like they belong on a PS1 don't do it for me. SIMPLE graphics does not equal BAD though... It has to fit the game.
3. Combat has to be fun but not WTF WHY IS THIS SO ****ING HARD?!
- without a cool story a game has no motive to me, I don't play action games for the sake of it, I do it to experience a story arc and character development.
- Yes, Cell shaded graphics belongs in a comic book, not a AAA videogame. This is the reason I pressed hard skip on the entire borderlands series.
- I hate it when professional streamers harp on about difficulty, regular people don't have 14 hours a day to waste on Elden Ring. I want a reasonable challenge from games, not frustration.
