Or....maybe...perhaps, stay with me here, the combat is atrocious.
Either way, we all pretty much know TW3 won because it was a western game.

What I don't get is why stuff like Skyrim and Dragon Age seem to get a free pass for the most part when their gameplay is even worse. Witcher 3 had competent gameplay especially compared to its previous games.
Well it's a good thing he never said the game was shit, only the combat (which it is)yeah. i wouldn't put 80 hours into a "shit" game. no chance! 10 hours at the absolute most depending on the game of course.
reminds me of those joke steam reviews "played 2,000,000 hours: it's ok i guess". "played 3,000,000,000 hours: it sucks."
Both of those games get a ton of hate here for their combat, there is no "Free Pass".What I don't get is why stuff like Skyrim and Dragon Age seem to get a free pass for the most part when their gameplay is even worse. Witcher 3 had competent gameplay especially compared to its previous games.

Nah, it couldn't be that it's just a great game, it must be some conspiracy against Japanese games.
This."The Witcher 3 combat is garbage" is a hot take from ERA/GAF. People are still mad because TW3 won the GOTY at VGA over Bloodborne and they made up this rethoric to discredit the game.
If you can ignore the vast majority of the combat options and still can make it through the game, then there is something wrong with the combat system imo.
There isn't a reward either for using all the options you have. So there is not really a reason to use them all
Dragon Age gets a free pass? That's one of the most hated RPGs when you talk about highly rated RPGs from this generation. I rarely see someone here speak highly of it. And usually people are critical of the quest design, it might drown out the complaints about the combat which is not great.What I don't get is why stuff like Skyrim and Dragon Age seem to get a free pass for the most part when their gameplay is even worse.

well, if you compare witcher 3 to previous witcher games their combat has definitely improved with each one. i think they are fine.
This so much. You can get stuck in the quen safe zone if you like, but you're deliberately making combat arduous as a result. There are four other signs to mix in, all with alternate abilities to invest in, and then there's the option to focus on light attacks or heavies (heavies all the way imo, combos so well with Ursine armour for those immensely satisfying well-timed attacks), bombs and concoctions if you invest in alchemy, and then the end game mutagens that Blood and Wine added (my god that ice aard is amazing).If you're just using quen and doing a few sword strikes, getting hit and then waiting to cast quen agajn, then you are not even attempting to use he combat system properly. If you ignore the vast majority of your combat options then don't like the combat, that's pretty much on you.

Not liking something doesn't make you a troll....Not only that but I believe OP is just a troll. I remember at least one thread where he was hating on Witcher's 3 side-quests or something.
Sure, but to compare it to an actual sidequest in any other game when half of it has the production value, time investment and care of a main quest (because it was) is disingenuous.

that was my favourite quest(s)!If only it was as good as that one amazing Dragon Age 2 quest
You know, the one where you went to that cave and shenanigans ensued
Combat is C tier eurojank shit, why can't some people accept that, how can they claim it's better than the games produced by Piranha Bytes? Witcher 3 is the poster child of bad gameplay in a rpg.
Just because everything else is good doesn't mean we should excuse how terrible the gameplay is, both the combat and riding Roach sucks and that's mostly what you do in the game.
It doesn't help that games with bad gameplay like Witcher 3 and Skyrim came out right after the masterpieces of FromSoftware.
Not by a large margin, no. Its probably tied with BoTW and Bloodborne for the best games this genNothing in The Witcher 3 is shit. Not everything is perfect either but it's easily the best game this generation by a large margin.

Yeah hearing all the negative mentions of the gameplay plus the length of the game has basically cemented me never playing it. It's a pity but yeah I'd end up resenting it and can't do that for 100+ hours.

Obviously but if someone makes a lot of threads about one game and his opinions are "gameplay is shit" and "sidequests are boring" - for me it's a troll.
I'm kinda amazed how people always think that Quen totally breaks the game. I was only playing on standard difficulty and even with Quen there were more than enough instances where the first hit of an enemy combo broke quen and then the consecutive hits or another enemy immediately fucked my shit up. I always felt I had to be on top of my dodging game even when using Quen.
