The Witcher 3: Anyone else think it's overrated?

People say it's a masterpiece and one of the best games this generation. I kinda found it boring in my opinion.

I didn't enjoy it either. The side quests sure are interesting and the world is gorgeous from a graphical and lore standpoint, but the game is just boring. How am I supposed to get invested into the story when it's not my own? How is it even an RPG if I literally have no choice in anything? Kinda bullshit if ya ask me. I stick to Morrowind!

@GermanAf: But realistic beard growing!

It's the future! Fuck those other games that have compelling stories!

You need beard!

@Fangirlsarah1996: GTA V had that too :) I also think GTA V is overrated though... IS IT A PATTERN?!

@GermanAf: The difference being GTA V at least had a good set up...it started in a gunfight more or less...right in the action, then a car chase fuck yeah! :p

The Witcher though? Hmm... :/

@Fangirlsarah1996: Games don't need to start in action. It'd be good if they do but if well executed they don't need to. In that regard I actually like The Bitcher.

@GermanAf: Well action games like GTA usually like doing it, to show off the game at the start...hell even Mass Effect starts with action, after you chat with like...two people.

@Fangirlsarah1996: Andromeda started with what felt like 2 years of running around on a boring planet :$
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@GermanAf: I was more talking about the other three.

To be fair Andromeda nailed the sort of "Star Trek" abandoned on a planet feeling on that first lvl pretty well
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: You felt abandoned with Liam constantly talking? :$

@GermanAf: I toned him out after a while...I mean I guess he's the new "bro" character like Kaiden, then Jacob then Muscles McBiceps.
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: Everyone loves Muscles McBiceps! I just replaced him with Jaal. Because Jaal is live.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@GermanAf: Jaal is a fucking badass...I've always liked the "outcast" character, first Tali, now Jaal :p

@Fangirlsarah1996: His convos with PeeBee are pretty darn rad too.

@GermanAf: I think at some point she fakes fucking Ryder (Not sure if male or female) to see if he fakes sleeping xD
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: I know :) Happened on my first playthrough. I dislike everything about PeeBee except the shit she said in the car of which the name I forgot again.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@GermanAf: PeeBee's okay...though she's a bit...fast for my liking...like if Mordin was an Asari :/ and wasn't the biggest badass in the whole universe.
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: Mordin is my spirit animal. Someone else might've gotten it wrong :'(
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@GermanAf: Fuck, he was a true hero...
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: He was :'( Great dude.
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@GermanAf: The old gang were pretty awesome...not saying the new crew are bad...Drack is awesome, Vetra is my bae...it's just the old gang were with us for so damn long...
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: Drack and Jaal are great doods. And Kallo is my favorite not doing cool things dood. And Lexi is the best female dood obviously. Fuckin' Natalie Dormer 😍
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@GermanAf: Drack is just a badass, plain and simple, he's got the whole "Grizzled War Veteran" thing going but still kicks ass...Jaal is just a sarcastic bastard and that's why he's awesome xD

I think Salarians are just usually awesome...apart from Tann...oh...then Lexi...too goddamn professional for me :'(
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: I don't think Jaal is sarcastic he just doesn't get it XD
Lovely as hell.
I died a little inside when I found out you can't romance Lexi :(
Fangirlsarah1996 · 26-30, F
@GermanAf: I think he's the Angaran version of sarcastic...y'know how sarcastic people like me are usually assholes without knowing? xD

Ikr? Though she's got the hots for Drack I swear to god xD

Oh did you ever do the movie night questline?
SW-User
@Fangirlsarah1996: Nope. I tried to spend as little as possible with Liam because I hate him more than Jacob and Kaiden combined.
