You guys remember that toolbag who was selling that lot of 145 common NES games for $2000? He's relisted that same lot, only now you get two random games for $11.99. He's also using a picture of a different lot of games.

^Are you looking to improve on your NES library MrMatthews?
Yeah, well the combat, general open world design and so on of The Witcher 3 is horse shit too. Haven't you heard? All RPG gamers want is good story, characters, lore and graphics, and it don't matter if it's wrapped around horse shit. Gamer will buy and will blindly praise it.Quote:

I play RPGs, and I'm in it for the whole experience. And the gameplay better be darn fantastic, I'd tell you that.Quote:

No, unfortunately my NES library can't be improved any further without either a ridiculous amount of money or an inordinate amount of luck.Quote:

Lets ask The Jackal to skip straight to this so called "GotY masterpiece" and see what he has to say? I'm personally very curious.Quote:

But combat is uber lame from the 20 hours of what I've played. Though granted, my sword play game play standards are much higher considering that I've played and replayed Dark Souls & related games countless times. And granted DS series is of Japanese game play standard too, but TW3 game play doesn't even seem to measure up to Western game play standard.
I'm sticking with the first game, thanks. I know I made the comparison of it's combat system to Morrowind's, but I enjoyed MW a great deal, despite it's garbage combat mechanics. The Witcher could be the same. I don't know yet.
I've only played the game for like 5 mins. I might of been too quick to past judgement. Or maybe I was spot on. I'll let you know after I've played it some more.
Yeah, well Bethesda knows how to make exploring an open world fun, natural and nonlinear. Projeckt Red on the other hand knows how to make an open world tedious, boring, unnatural and more linear. Yeah, their first effort, sure, but it shows. If they could have made their open world more interesting like Bethesda's efforts, I would have been able to push much further in.Quote:

Even for games like the first Mass Effect were everyone including myself says the game play feels pretty clunky and outdated, yet the game play is still very fun and a blast to play through again and again, like some gold standard NES game. It's actually what got me into the ME series and ME1, as I walked away from it a few times, but something about the game play kept pulling me back.

Borderlands 2, on the other hand, makes for a robust single player storyline that can be as "linear" as you want, or as open-world as you may choose it to be. Part 1, on the other hand, just felt like an amalgam of side-quests. Still a good game either way, but note that there are folks with preferences other than yours.
Also, you still sound like you don't know how to play The Witcher 3, as it is one of the least "linear" narratives I've ever played in my life. You make of it what you will, though. And that is the beauty of it as an RPG. You still need to grind. And like with any RPG, the rewards are very satisfying. That it is not your style or your preference does not make it a bad game. It is in fact one of the best games ever made, imo.
Yes, but more linear games normally choose more linear to improve upon other things like tighter better game play and it's relation to level design, among other things. TW3 does none of these things. And it conflicts with their idea to try to do free roam open world too.Quote:

Go learn how to play Dark Souls, QuickSciFi. It's an RPG series focused around game play and level design (well ok, DS3 has no level design and why it sucks). This is why these games have excellent relay value. Therefore actual good video games and not some interactive novel where you watch once and take a few years off to forget their story more.
You got it, sir!Quote:

I know actual game play and level design is scary to some of us, but you can do it!
You must know a lot about gameplay...Quote:
