I just finished Witcher 2 on PC, and i have no interest in playing Witcher 3 until it is like 5 dollars. I appreciate your input, tc. If the combat is anything like TW2, then I don't really want to play it. It was still a decent game, but it pales in comparison, IMO, to the Souls games.
The Souls games (and Bloodborne) have such fluid, challenging, and satisfying combat with so many endless combinations of attack that they have seriously ruined most other games for me. Also---and I am only mentioning this because you mentioned BB---the souls games have a very minimalist approach with dialogue yet they still deliver a story through exploration and occasional conversation; whereas in the Witcher 2, I read so much crap about people from so many places, but in the end, I was so confused and lost with many topics and didn't feel a great connection to the vast majority of them. And I have nothing against dialogue (jrpgs are my favorite genre), but damn, my favorite ones (FF6-9, CT, Suikoden 1/2, Nocturne, etc.) are concise yet effective at delivering a nice plot. I wish every game was like that.
Hi
