      It aged poorly, but it’s definitely not “awful”. I played it in 2009 and it was then my 2nd favorite RPG after Mass Effect

        You have to understand, i was the story first when i was young (and umployed), i played a lot of JRPGs with terrible combat and enemy encounter rate.

        Those days, i rather have a game with a shallow story but a awesome fun gameplay, i definitively not in Soulslike anymore, and stop playing all my games on hard or expert.

        If the game is make me do a lot of extra effort to play it, it simply doesn’t woth my time

          No offense but you shouldn’t be playing a Witcher game for the gameplay, but for the story 😅

          Not that TW3 gameplay is bad, but what makes it worth playing it 120 hours is the story, not the combat

            Sorry, i think i express myself wrong, is not like i don’t care about story, but before i was “story>gameplay” now is the opposite, i like story, but today i priorize gameplay over

      it didnt age well lol

      takes a lot to get into the weird fight mechanic. you need to fully embrace that odd fighting system, then it works i guess

        The attacks didn’t even connect physically, and enemies barelly have feedback on damage they take.

        Playing Old School CRPG with top view camera stil it doesn’t help either, it tried be two different styles of RPG and end up being bad in both
