Game to Discuss?
The Witcher. A trvly classic game, which introduced the world to Geralt: the greatest kitty monster hunter the world has known. It's more or less what you'd expect from a polish fantasy game: you peepee down innumerable white slvts with your BBC, and also there's some shit about killing the various monsters (presumably standins for the more civilized races overrunning poland at this time) which have been eating people or whatever. The game is also known for its one of a kind combat style, where you press your m1 button at various times in order to kill the monsters. Unfortunately (for Geralt) s*x is somehow less engaging than this boring button mashing combat, though completing a s*x scene rewards you with a s*x card, a piece of commemorative art for horny polack teens to jerk off to. Leave your thoughts, votes, and c*m tributes below.

It's an acquired taste but I'd say it's the best one of the series because it had the best setting and atmosphere, and by this point I'm fine with admitting to myself that I'm not playing any of those games for the combat. 2 & 3 definitely had their own things they excelled at and I loved the story and branching paths that 2 had in particular, but 1 is special for me

Played 3. Didn't like the combat and couldn't get into the game. I gave it several earnest tries too. Dumped like twenty hours into my last go but still got bored and fell out of it
I did get all the Gwent cards though. I like Gwent

Combat is what had me leave it after a couple hours on Xbox. Gave it another go on PC with some visual mods and I was hooked.

It's a universal constant among all of those games that combat sucks. It was especially bad in the first game but they seem to be iteratively improving on it with each sequel. Here's hope that in 10 releases they might actually find a way to make it fun

Witcher 1 (7): Game you should play if you like RPGs. Skip otherwise.
Witcher 2 (9.5): Best of all, good antagonist, focused on the story with enough freedom to explore, great ending possible
Witcher 3 (8): Too much open world shit that distracts from the story, thus removing all sense of urgency from the story (while it tries to tell you it's super important to act fast!!!)
Oh yeah. Combat isn't great in any.

Don't force me to be a certain character and then have an "open world". These things are diametrically opposed from each other.

This is exactly the game's problem. If they had reduced the volume of the game's content by 20% and focused on polishing the gameplay 20% more, Witcher 3 would have been near perfect.

Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, and BioShock Infinite are the three most overrated games ever. None of them are bad but they're considered classics for some reason.

BioShock Infinite is way more hated nowadays than it was in 2013.
Cyberpunk was shat on the instant it came out.
Witcher 3 somewhat earned its reputation by not having absolute dogshit level writing and an okay gameplay loop unlike every other big AAA western game released at the time.

Iirc critics mostly played it on PS5 (this was was when it still new and impossible to get ahold of) and gave it great scores but on every other console and PC it was borderline unplayable for months.

Witcher 1 is a solid 6.5/10. I didn't hate it, but all the Witcher games after 1 were better.
