@el-shmiablo I totally agree, but that difference in the quality of writing goes a long way if you're playing a game for 100+ hours.
-
But don't you consider the dynamic and diverse storytelling in The Witcher 3 (and The Witcher series as well as other similar cRPG games) to be gameplay in itself? I feel as though the storytelling is so greatly affected by player input that its hard to ignore the give and take between the player and the game in regards to plot, story outcomes, relationships, etc.
Like, where the modern AC games focus on mainly combat (correct me if I'm wrong), the Witcher games focus on storytelling gameplay AND combat as the staple.
I feel the same way about Horizon. It's like an action game with some dialogue options whereas The Witcher 3 feels like the full package.
-
@dipset yeah I haven't played any recent AC and have no interest to, but the comparisson between Witcher 3 and Horizon is absolutely spot on to me, 'gameplay' wise Horizon might be more entertaining, but the whole package of TW3 and how rich everything feels made it one of my favorite games ever, while Horizon is barely an afterthought for me at this point.
-
@dipset Yeah, which is why I said that I think that ultimately Witcher 3 is the better game because it the areas in which it does excel are so vastly superior to AC.
Real talk tho Witcher 3 combat is straight garbage.
-
Here's a contentious opinion, I think The Witcher 2 has better combat than TW3 (still not good), and I think TW2 is the better overall game.
Here's another contentious one: Assassin's Creed 1 is a great game.
-
I also find The Witcher 2 to have better combat than 3. To up the game though and in keeping with the thread, I think The Witcher 1 has the best combat system of the three.
-
@dipset I loved the og AC, would be much more interested in a game in the series with that same style.
-
While I do love myself some original AC, the Ezio trilogy made too many quality of life changes to go back further than that.

Animal Crossing is pretty great alright. :3
-
In my opinion, Animal Crossing New Horizons was instantly made a worse game because of the lack of Kapp'n Song
-
@el-shmiablo i dont see that as contentious at all
-
Banjo Tooie is better then Kazooie
-
@happygaming He's definitely coming back in some way in a future update.
-
@ff7cloud that's true though.

Played witcher 1 long ago and it was so bad that i had option to skip the combat.
I feel like none of witcher games are actually good. especially not playing part.
-
I’ve heard you say The Witcher 2 is the best RPG game ever made.
-
Combat was the reason I hard quit The Witcher 3. Nothing could redeem that.

Opinion change time to time and beside best RPG mean nothing since RPG usually have bad gameplay. it scarifies gameplay for choices and dialouges.
now adays i hate the new trend of forcing RPG elements into every game.
-
@b-cell But Witcher never "forced RPG elements", as it has always been an RPG.
-
@b-cell I can't get over the scarification of gameplay done by CDPR!!!
