10 hours into witcher 3 and while i think its a good game. I also think its grossly overrated and misleading on pregame advertising in that its supposed to be a huge open world with no loading times. When in reality its not that open worlded, but a series of maps that do require loading times to travel between, much like inquisition. In fact this game is very similar to inquisition in alot of aspects. Which was also a good game.
But. I was expecting something new and amazing with perfect review scores and all the hype. I am severely let down. I will take a last gen skyrim over this for a few reasons.
1. The one map open world of skyrim was amazing.
2. The quests and dialogue of skyrim is unmatched, from killing an orphanage headmaster, uncovering mage school plots, thieves guild quests, demon quests, cisero lol, on top of the main storyline, etc.
3. 1st person is awesome. Even the dull melee combat of skyrim feels fun in 1st person. But ofc using magic was much more fun and varied.
4. Level system in skyrim is also unmatched imo. Even inquisition had a better leveling system imo.
Witcher 3 has good graphics, good story n quests, good combat, good crafting, etc but just doesnt live up to its hype nor surpass skyrim in any way for me. What u guys think?
1) Velen + Novigrad are larger than original Skyrim map and no loading screen at dungeons and houses. Not to mention loading screens at travelling in Forgotten Vale and Soltsheim, which is analogue to
White Orchars, King Palace at Vizima and Skellige archipelag. So it is like you are picking.
2) It is the matter of taste and I am afraid it can be bad of yours. TW3 is on its own league in quest design. Skyrim can't even touch it.
3) To see awesome 1st person try Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Skyrim one is pure mediocricity.
4) Leveling and skills in TW3 are somewhat spoiled indeed IMO.
