Be honest, /wtc/, do you think this game is overrated? I've finished the main game and I just can't see how it's "one of the best games ever made" like some people put it.
My main problem is the gameplay in general, the combat is not the best, and I don't like the controls and the movement. And there are annoying details like Roach stopping sometimes when you're riding fast, trying to turn around and interact with sometimes that's next to you (because of the weird movement), etc. You get used to this, but I still don't like it.
Also, the story is good, the world is big and complex, there's a lot of interesting stuff, like characters, monsters, and the lore in general, etc, but I don't know, it's not like it's best written game ever, sometimes the plot is predictable, and it's annoying how a huge part of the game is about finding someone (that being, Yen, Ciri, Dudu, Dandelion, etc), I feel the story improved a lot when I finally found Ciri.
But don't get wrong, this game is obviously pretty good and I would be a contrarian if I said otherwise, the world is really big and interesting, even when you're doing that repetitive gameplay of looking for something with your witcher senses and then following tracks, you're interested in either the story or what will the monster you fight will be, I like learning what caused the monster to be there, how it behaves, etc. There so much stuff going on besides the main story, there's the war, the racial tension, etc.
I also like the complexity of the mechanics, things like crafting and alchemy mostly, it's cool that you can prepare for a fight looking for the right oil, potions, bombs, etc for the creature.
Anyway, I think the game is pretty good, but it's overrated, any of you feel the same? Maybe there are details that make this good a masterpiece that I'm not valuing too much, I don't know, I wanna hear honest opinions and not just circlejerk.
