I am with you on this one. I was gonna go back to DA:I but don't think I can now. I think this is a good thing because now games will strive to be more like the witcher.

TW3 is my favourite rpg of all time. anyone else feel like tw3 ruined every other rpg, and feel discouraged from other games

I really doubt about that. Dark Souls 3 is coming don't look anything like the witcher. Fallout 4 don't look like the witcher. Actually it would be pretty boring if all games were the same.
You must really hate RPGS. Management is a classical element of the genre. I'm not trolling. I'm pointing out valid arguments. The word trolling is so over used nowadays. Anything that goes on contrary to blind worship becomes labeled as trolling. Geez...
No. you're pointing out opinions. your arguments are nothing but subjective opinion.
Love TW3, but I honestly can't wait to see what FO4 and ES6 look like. CDPR definitiely raised the bar!

You realize that those games were in development long before Witcher 3 came out, and it's too late to change them even if the devs wanted to... right?
Also, I'm pretty sure he means that open world games will try to copy the best aspects of W3 - less empty icon-hunting, more fully-developed quests - not that they're going to try to clone the game...

I don't see nothing different with quests. Do this, do that, kill that, get the dragon herb for the soothsayer, fetch a herb to attract the griffin, ect. Saaaaame old stuff. Actually it's the other way around. TW3 clones many elements from previous open world games. Maaaaany.

That's OK, there are those who don't care whether they're eating a burger from McDonalds or a quality steak, whether they're drinking Coors Lite or a real beer, or whether they write correctly or use double negatives. Doesn't mean they're bad people, just uneducated.

Actually there are quests in TW3 which are cloned off from other games. There is a quest in TW3 where you have to escort a goat. A same quest can be found in Dragon Age Inquisition, just the same ! But the Dragon Age one is more difficult coz the goat is a bitch and won't follow you easily.

There is a quest in The Witcher 3 called A Family Blade. Exactly the same Quest with almost identical name can be found in Whiterun on Skyrim. So original !!

And eating food during combat?
But it's a game and a wonderful one at that.

The gameplay design is broken as a FACT. There is no sense of difficulty. There is no sense of reward. Money is too easy to obtain. Anything called "rare" in this game come to your hands as a gift from the sky. You don't have to make a single effort to get anything going. You spend dozens of potions and all of your bombs and everything gets replenished by a single bottle of alcohest. Tch....

That too. I also have to mention that Skellige island is full of Jarls and NordicTales. Skyrim is an island full of Jarls and NordicTales. 100% original.And eating food during combat?

I think he mean't as a benchmark? By the way has anyone heard about Kingdom Come Deliverance? it looks interesting, not sure how an RPG without all the traditional monsters and magic will work though?

I don't believe TW3 is a benchmark on open world games. As I mentioned before it is far from original and the systems around it's gameplay are fairly broken.
I can't tell you the next open world game that will bring in a revolution, but I can tell you that this game is not TW3.
The Witcher 3 certainly raised the standard for sidequests from here on out. Every single game that comes out now, I'll be expecting that level of detail, quality, and depth that TW3 had in its sidequests.
I thought the main story was good, and the characters and world were also top notch. But what sets TW3 apart from its peers, IMO, was the sheer quality of the sidequests. None of them felt like a chore. Each one came across as its own little story it was telling.

This is how my experience with TW3 was also. I was captivated by the short stories within many of the smaller quests.
There is also a difference how some of the quests were implemented compared to other games because of how much they enhanced the setting.
Unfortunately all this drops off when entering areas such as remote locations and the seas of Skellige.
Marked points of interests serving the purpose for the majority of players not to miss; resorting back to a typical questing formula.
As a whole TW3 does a great job in showcasing what future games can achieve with a little more thought put into events in map locations.

the goat quest in tw3 was the worst one I did, I think. And even that quest was good enough, unlike "gsther 10 ram meat" in da:i.
Please go troll elsewhere. You are insulting the integrity of my thread with your nonsense.
This might be a valid, objective opinion:
"I understand the appeal of TW3, but game mechanics turned me off. I am a heavy RPer, so the alchemy system turned me off. I also wish the combat was tighter and had a higher difficulty level. With that said, I can objectively see the quality of the side content, the story, etc."
This is not a valid opinion:
"QQ skyrim is better troll troll troll TW3 sucks wah."
If you don't like tw3, get off the forum, and stop ruining my thread with trolling.

TW3 has killed all my lust for 3rd person rpg's aswell. I'm pretty certain that I'm not gonna see anything compareable in years. It was the same feeling for me after TW2 aswell. At least there is Cyberpunk to look forward to. I do however find some comfort in that I can play this game many many times before I get tired, and that there will be more DLC content.
The fact that this is Geralts final story saddens me greatly, but I have faith that CDPR's talented crew can make even better franchises in the future.
I do not understand the critizism of the combat system at all. I played Dark Souls 2 while waiting for TW3 release, and imo, this game does everything better. Especially if you equip the alternate attack moves in your active abilities. And remap the signs to better keys. It may not be as challenging as DS2 but in TW3 you're playing a character that is supposed to be the one of the best fighters in the world. And for that I feel it is done perfectly, the motion capture is on a completely different level.
There are however other types of games that I can still enjoy. Pillars of Eternity has an expansion in the making, and that game is very different from 3rd person rpg's.

The Witcher 3 is, at the moment, beating every available competition (from my point of view). It has a lot more diversity of qualities than any other game you could buy know I think.
Ok, it is probably not the best in each and every aspect, but the overall game is amazingly full of great stuff. Background, characters, narration, quest writing, pace, environments, animations, graphics, character and stuff upgrading, it is so compelling that I fear playing any other RPG game I have...

Man, did you read The Witcher's saga? I mean the books. I suppose you did not, because you would know how important Skellige islands and charaters are to the story.
The books were written in the 80-90's, so it IS 100% original, no point in comparing it to Skyrim :lol:

To me, Witcher 3 raised the bar for sidequests, character development and story line in RPG games to the point I fear I will ever play Skyrim I ordered last year on Steam. I just already feel repulsed by shear amount of boredom that I'm sure to get (knowing how Morrowind and Oblivion played in my head). The atmosfere is just not there.
Likewise, while I'm big fan of Gothic series, Witcher 3 completely killed my desire to play Risen 3 (previous were 'ok') AND what's more sad - to play any possible future Gothic games.
Well, maybe if Kai Rosenkranz was back..

I read the books and Idk how skellige is important. Unfortunately I was fighting TW3 cravings, so i read the books fast (1-2 days per book) so I forget a lot of stuff.
