what is *great* about these games?D:OS and PoE.
Like seriously? try to explain pls
EH, I liked it for what it was but magical girl parenting simulator polish edition is not a *great* RPG.Witcher 3
It's a good game that I enjoyed playing but it has far to go to be a *great* RPG.
quest design was atrocious lolquestdesign
most of the quests had good "fluff" but the "crunch", so to speak, was, to use an epic meme, banal shit boring
you pretty much have no choice of approach to problems
some times, at best, you get 2 (combat or axii)
yeah sure, sometimes you get asked the question to kill or not to kill but I don't think the choice of outcome is enough for the C&C aspect in RPGs
now I understand that this is so because of the limitations of Geralt as the protagonist so I'm looking forward to see what CDPR does with cyberpunk
imo Witcher 3 had quality and high production values in some parts, some really shitty things in others(hello itemization) but it failed to innovate in any way or really showcase the potential interactivity of video games(and RPGs in particular) to a great amount
it also lacks the special something to set it apart form good to great
VTM:B had it's atmosphere, writing and characters
Arcanum had the setting
Alpha Protocol the dialogue system
Planescape the writing, character and story
Witcher 3 has no peak of quality on the level comparable to these games.
if a game wants to rank among the greats without having some truly *great* and unique thing about itself it needs to be really *good* in absolutely all aspects - perfectly polished rock lives up to an unpolished diamond - but Witcher 3 wasn't satisfactory in all aspects
Divinity: Original Sin into that category.
debility: original shit is probably the worst turn based RPG I have ever played (for like 7 hours anyhow or like 10 I'm not sure)
the combat is too based on gimmicky elemental shit and the story and setting is pretty much lol so randumb
maybe I'm just an edgelord but I seriously can't spend dozens of hours immersed in a story and world that doesn't take itself one bit seriously
the fact that you have to either CO-OP or larp schizophrenic conversations also doesn't help
and what the fuck were those two companions
