The hack and slash mechanic changes with difficulty levels. In my first run-through, I could survive by just using the sword. As the challenges increase, items like signs, potions, and bombs become crucial. I'm referring to stat-boosting effects, not just health potions. I've played all the games multiple times and still find them enjoyable, though I notice they might not suit everyone.
It's great they found success with TW3, a game designed for adults—a really specific audience. The development process must have been incredibly challenging. People often underestimate the dedication required to create such a project. I believe supporting these studios is important, even if I wouldn't discuss flaws like Fallout 4. Respecting their hard work and creativity is key. Learning that someone who easily dismisses others' efforts likely lacks genuine commitment is valuable.
It’s just a poor experience because you highlighted four areas for improvement. Why do people online demand such extreme opinions? It turns conversations into something less thoughtful than they should be. Still, The Witcher 3 remains one of my top picks, though I agree with those concerns. The controls can feel confusing at times. As someone who deeply appreciates TW3’s combat and firmly believes The Elder Scrolls or Fallout fall short, it’s clear there’s room for growth. That said, the term “hack and slash” has become a negative label—many fans and developers recognize its strengths in melee action titles like Dark Souls and Platinum games.
The camera works fine; combat isn’t exceptional but adds enjoyment and fits the game vibe. Swimming doesn’t really matter and the controls aren’t that terrible—horse handling is actually solid. There’s a lot to do, but the real highlight lies in the storytelling, engaging dialogue, and the vivid, immersive world. It’s a title where conversations and cutscenes often rival action sequences.
It's a typical game... P.s was teasing the cod guy. My approach to Deathmarch was straightforward: quen, hack and slash, dodge, quen, hack and slash, dodge in every battle. I beat the Griffin that delivered the acid hit before the quest like that. It got pretty dull for me.
