| daredevil.shark said: No. The game doesnt do anything new. Its not perfect. I struggled quite a lot with gameplay. But after I got used to it I really loved it. What it does it polish what red dead redemption did. The main thing is atmosphere. 1. Tress realistically move. Bushes moves. The world is alive. 2. Nice weather system. 3. Most importantly the world feels real. By real I mean the "earth" is too horizantal in todays games. Yes. In many games theree are mountains or uneven places. But what witcher 3 does actually gives the impression of walking in real world. Whenever I play it I feel part of the game. I really hope all open world games follow this and tries to improve it. |
As for these 3 points:
1. Nope, they look posessed at times to me. It's nice that everything moves though.
2. Hit and miss, it can get so dark when it rains I usually meditate until it's sunny again.
3. The world is made very well, no complaints there. Although I have not been to any city yet. Real world nah, still a long way to go.
I hope more open world games will spend the effort to design great characters and well written quests.
However I also hope they will spend more effort on the actual game play and user experience as well.
What I really hope is that they'll get rid of the reliance on a minimap. Directions that are good enough to follow by landmarks. No more filler, play something else besides the standard kleptomaniac mass murderer for hire, more freedom in solving quests instead of a few binary dialog choices after following a narrow A,B,C checkpoint path.
