that makes as much sense as saying Warcraft3 is RPGundead dolphin hacker said:. It's a glorified adventure game, and not even a very good one at that.

The Witcher. Dunno how anyone can say this is an RPG and Final Fantasy isn't and keep a straight face. It's a glorified adventure game, and not even a very good one at that. Story is weak. Characters are weak. Writing is godawful. There is nothing mechanically interesting about the game (gear is standardized, there is no character specialization as you can just buy everything with the amount of skill points that are thrown at you). I care nothing about the characters or story and simultaneously have no interest in improving Geralt's abilities or searching for phat lewt or something equally Monty Haul to maintain, at very least, my inner child's interest.
I have no fucking idea why this turd is the lap dog of the community this year, aside from it being Polish and thus edgy and indie. Geralt is the exact same character the hardcore community (myself included) make fun of in JRPGs -- the stoic, cursed/blessed, hardass but emotional, long-white-haired mutant ninja/superwarrior. It's just bizarre to be laughing with the rest of you at the next big-eyed anime bullshit 'RPG' and then suddenly be the only one laughing at the exact same archetype, except now it's Polish and hey I heard there were some novels and no I haven't read any of them because I can't read a word of fucking Polish but since there are novels I guess that means this game can magically get away with all the lame bullshit I would mock if it was made by slants instead of sexually repressed dweebs in wooden shoes.
I mean seriously, the incomprehensible story? The action/adventure combat? The fucking tacky/corny sex cards? The JRPG stereotypical Geralt himself? Christ, it's a Polish Mass Effect. Except for some reason everyone can tell Mass Effect is a pretty bad RPG, and yet completely miss the point when it comes to the Witcher.
I mean, it'd make sense if you loved both The Witcher and Mass Effect. You enjoy shitty action/adventure games and like to hang out on RPGCodex and pretend to be a big boy. That's fine, I hear Volourn is going to have a smashing Christmas party (after all, in the immortal words of... Major Blackheart, was it? 'Everyone is a girl face-down') .
I don't get this either/or bullshit though. Frankly I think it's because you probably do like both games because you have no taste, except to sit at the big boy table you need to (rightfully) bash Bioware, so you do it to fit in and secretly fap to the lesbian alien sex scene, of which you have a savegame right before, just as often as you do to the naughty Witcher sex cards (and you bought the International version so you could see the nippies and some bush). That or you haven't even played Mass Effect because it's an "action/adventure" game, and those suck, but hey guys the Witcher is totally an RPG and totally GOTY!!!~
Quite frankly, I am disgusted to be a hardcore RPG fan this year.

Oh shit, Jasade. You Germans should do something about it, don't you think?

Exactly, all action games are console games!Lyric Suite said:the consolish action
Almost not optional? That's the best you could come up with?Marcelo21 said:worst than the sex scene since they're almost not even optional
That doesn't change the fact that it's true. The writing *does* suck because it's poorly translated. Several things have pointed this out, from polish free translation comparisons to the fix that restores the longer English scripts. No one is arguing that CDPR is without blame in the matter anyway, so what's the point in bitching about semantics Mr. Sensitive?Marcelo21 said:Oh and please stop using the argument that the writing sucks because it's poorly transtlated. I mean, good for the poles and CD projekt, but face it everyone who doesn't speak polish is going to have to read through those delicious dialogues (not to mention listen to them) that make you want to eat your own balls.
No, it just sucks. "Cunts in pricks?" Sexually repressed Nazi rape victims (who are wearing wooden shoes, fuck you Poland I don't give a fuck if you say that's Sweden because I know you do it too). If anything, the "extended" or "free translated" script is worse than the current translation, because at least with this one you can say "well, it's just spotty translation" and let your mind fill in some of the gaps (unless it's totally absurd like the random lich-man appearing the basement, seriously what the fuck). The "real" text has no such luxury -- you're exposed to the bare, naked truth that the writing is highschool level at best.vrok said:That doesn't change the fact that it's true.

It's no better than a fanfic by the pockmarked highschool chess club member fantasizing about fucking the cartoon girl from his manga. A poorly written litrotica that struts and frets til it brings a dweeb to climax then is read no more. It is a tale written by a masturbator, stained with sweat and ejaculate, evoking loathing.
