This game keeps getting mor and more of a FNV-2 and not in a good way. I mean, it looks like Obsidian carefully recreates bugs and inconviniences Gamebryo is known for in UE4 like loading screens, floaty npc physics, dumb ai and such for no good reason. I mean I know Urine 4 is what in it's name but it allows for open-world with no loading screens for interiors.

Which greatest RPGs ever made look on par with Witcher 3?

I enjoyed W3 at least as much as I did Baldur's Gate and Dark Souls. I'm sorry if my definition of RPG does not coincide with yours, which is most likely turn-based autism with eleventy billion numbers, but such is life.

So Baldur's Gate and Dark Souls look on par with Witcher 3?

This looks pretty much the same comparing to the preview we see before, and people have been screaming "it looks like shit" just like before.

Graphic obsession is everywhere, even here on Codex. They probably complain F:NV looks like shit as well, and probaly think Witcher 3 is the greatest RPG ever made.

The irony here is that NV really does look like shit and Witcher 3 is at least on par with the greatest RPGs ever made, but you're somehow using it as a sting at people's taste.

Witcher 3 wasn't even the greatest Witcher game ever made, let alone the greatest RPG ever made.

Being a cannibal is one of my favorite things to roleplay in these games.

BTW if you don't know it. MS has gamepass on PC for about 1$ for a month. You can then unsub and resub after a month for again 1$.

So you can play it on release for 1$

The RPG Codex's Top 101 PC RPGs says otherwise, in which The Witcher 3 hold the honorably position of the 15th place as one of the greatest RPGs. :obviously:

The 2019 one is illegitimate and this forum is biased because half of people here are kielbasa.

The music makes it feel pretty cozy in this video. The quest structure here looks bsb and very much old hat. The companion banter is pretty mediocre and cringeworthy.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Infinitron watch the last conversation with the vicar around 52 minutes into this video.



"Perhaps I could make myself of use to your crew... I can offer you free spiritual counseling and I'd be happy to watch your back... I'm pretty handy with a tossball stick or any blunt instrument really. I'm, also a passable gunhand if it comes to that. I can usually talk my way out of conflict, though. Oh, I'm fairly competent at hacking computers as well... let me get my things together and I'll catch up with you... I shall see you on the ship, captain, whenever you're ready to leave Emerald Vale."

It would be quite a twist to have an NPC say all this boilerplate new companion stuff to you and then they don't join your crew.

Disco Elysium coming out 10 days before this will probably suck for Obsidian. Give everyone a crazy innovative RPG, then follow up with something that feels extremely safe, mediocre and done to death...

Graphics aside (which have a really generic style), every gameplay video so far looks like something that could've done in Fallout 3, ELEVEN years ago.

>Done to death.

Let me see here a list of all games that did something similar to FNV that came after it (RPG FPS faction system, CnC , multiples endings that take your actions on account , branching dialogue, etc) :

Deus Ex HR (eh?) ... and... Literaly nothing else

Yeah , done to the death. Unless you count the masterpiece that's Fallout 4 :smug:
