Very disappointed by the W3 thought the game somewhat sucked. How the game played was worse than games on the PS2. My god the combat was terrible.

Took the words out of mouth. Check out my old review for the Witcher 3. Extremely overrated mediocre game saved by great world and story/characters. The game mechanics from the combat, controls and leveling were extremely poor. It was painful to play this game after Bloodborne.

I love how Witcher 3 combat mechanics has inspired other games - Igni and Aard (even Aard freeze) can now be found in Mass Effect Andromeda. Very fun to play.
But I miss the swords, just gun combat only when not using "magic" effects (called biotic in that game) and no stylish slow motion finishing moves with runed silver swords.....
Witcher 3 feels awesome in movement and combat even after finishing Horizon Zero Dawn and all other actual gen games, but at least some mods are necessary for the best Witcher 3 experience (no enemy auto-lock-on or press-button enemy lock-on mod is necessary, mods for free movement in combat instead of forced auto-lock and forced auto-direction auto-facing enemies during combat is a must-have.
With a good collection of free combat movement + free combat camera and disable auto-lock-on and disable autofacing enemies mods Witcher 3 swordplay has the same quality and almost feel like the currently best sword mechanics on the market: Final Fantasy XV Episode Gladiolus / Nier Automata.)

I agree that W3 is over-hyped by fans, but it's clearly not honest to call it "lazy designed for money", there are not so many single-player campaigns ever with comparable amount of high-quality content for a price of a single game. (GTA, TES, Starcraft etc )
So here I am - firing up TW3 GOTY for the first time on my old rig 2 yrs after the release. I didn't get that PS4 for the Collectors Edition I have nor did I changed the video card in the PC for a high-all experience.
The video settings are mid-high and FPS variates between 15 and 20 something. Still enjoyable. What impressed me most so far (I'm only at the beginning) are the NPC's faces - so detailed, so right to the stories (quests) and the voiceovers just glue everything toghether in the most touching way. Pretty mind blowing, at least mine!
For anyone wondering about the PS specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3,0 GHz soket AM2/AM2+
8Gb DDR2 RAM
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD6790 (this one also bought specifically for TW2 )

The game was fun, but then I going play the game in ps4 and ... If the game continue being awasome. but for some reason i cant find a lot of thing for example "sangre de demonio mayor" for doing hanged oil... well I play the game in spanish... and I cant do the blood wine exp
In short, I'm in love with this game. But there is something I find surprising and a bit disappointing. I'm playing it for the second time and this time on Death March. I am very VERY unskilled and expected DM to be so hard that fights would be near impossible for me to win without carefully selecting appropriate oils, bombs, etc. Instead what I find is that by now (level 15) fights with enemies near my level are so easy that I often deliberately skip using alchemy items just to give myself some challenge. After some unbelievably easy fights I keep checking the gameplay settings to see if maybe the difficulty automatically changed to "just the story" but no, it is on DM. And did I mention I am totally unskilled? I'm still very much enjoying my time in the game world and watching the story unfold but I didn't get the challenging, fun fights that I expected from DM.
