Yes.

OST and ambience are very comfy. The combat is trash sure but if you endure it for the first hour you are ready to enjoy the whole game. Story is also pretty decent.
>>
No, not really

The dialogue and writing is decent but the actual game mechanics turn the game into a slog.

This developer and series peaked with Witcher 2

>>724291209
If you want
>>
>>724291209
I've only purchased two games from this dev. The Witcher when it originally came out and Cyberpunk on PS4 when it originally came out.

To answer your question yeah I guess so. It's fine. Now at least.

Yes. Truth be told I liked it more than 2. Haven't played 3 yet.

Play it like a Diablo clone that requires player input and not just left clicking monsters to death.

Yes it's better than 2 and 3

>>724291209
its a cool game, the sword moves are more brutal and fun than the subsequent games, i don't care how simple the inputs are. the second game was a pile of dogshit, everything was dumbed down to uselessness. the fugitive/clearing your name shit was so boring and there was barely any actual witcher stuff to do, the only cool thing in 2 was seeing saessenthesis.

I'm playing it for the first time right now and I would say Yes.
I'm fucking autistic or something so I can't start with 3 and wanted to give 1 another chance.
It takes some getting used to but it's actually not hard to play thru for the story once you get used to it. The combat is not good but also not impossible by any means.
I can see why these niggers are mad about TW4 being a female protag because half the fun of one is collecting pokeman cards of bitches you fucked with 0 effort put in.
>>
>>724295036
As Ciri, the player will be collecting cards of all the dudes she fucks throughout the game.
Just like a modern woman.
>>
>>724295242
but will all the men throw themselves at her for the low price of a scarf or literally any ring or just because she is a bitcher?
>>
>>724295326
She will initiate every sex encounter, the men will be discarded afterwards.
And the best (or worst) part is that they will do it for free because they will be digital simpls.
>>
>>724291209
the gameplay is a godawful rhythm clicker, not even joking

Better than clicking mindlessly and letting the character hit the monsters without further player input.

>>
>>724291209
only good witcher game
>>
>>724291209
Yeah I'm glad i played it all in order to be honest. Because I ended up realising the first game was my favourite. If the combat feels like an immediate turn off I would just caution you to stick with it, it's how I felt at first. It's fine once you get into the rhythm of it, it's perfectly serviceable enough. The draw in it is that the actual world in this game is interesting to explore and some of the quests are pretty cool.

Unironically enjoyed the combat
Better OST than the second game, possibly tied with 3
Can't wait to see how they fuck up the remake!

trophy hook. in the first game you can take monster trophies (usually heads) and turn them for xp and money or you can just keep them and wear them (the hook is kept on dedicated slot in your inventory)

I really think the combat in 1 was underrated, I wish they stuck with it and developed it more in the sequels

nah it has the most generic video game story

>>724301846
It had bigger depth, you had fighting styles against one target or many targets.
Then this was removed.
>>
>>724301846
not just the combat really
even the skill tree got gutted
sure 1 needed some streamlining to do, but 2 and 3's where so anemic they might as well not exist
imagine needing a skill to do splash damage
>>
It always was W1>W3>W2 for me.
Witcher 2 was such a letdown UI and gameplaywise, even if a story was more grand. Geralt suddenly becoming a hunk of a man after first game properly portrayed him as a somewhat lanky grimy guy. Removal of a character doll and proper inventory in 2 after perfect one in the first game also soured the mood. Whole UI was consolised as fuck. Good thing that for 3 they've reworked UI again and moved away from some barebones shit from 2.

A2 swamp is the great filter, but hard mode is still pretty easy, it was fucking brutal on release but it got dumbed down to nothingness. Make sure to use elixirs and signs and you'll be fine.
If you're struggling with wyverns, lure them one by one and spam aard, they can get stunned so you can one shot them. There's only a handful of difficult combat encounters and this is one of them.

>>
>>724291209
Yes, but it has a very slow start.
Takes like 4 hours to get all the intro bullshit out of the way, and a bit longer than that for you to level up enough to make the combat interesting.
Once you maki it inside the city though the game is a kino factory going forward.
Don't listen to swamp haters, its supposed to feel hostile and unfair when you first get there, but over time you get to make it your bitch. Just dont be a retard and fight every single drowner you run into and it's really not that bad.
>>
>>724302724
And why are you rushing?
Playing videogames is not a race, if the devs want a long introduction they will make one.
>>
>>724302831
W1 is one of my favourite games numbskull, but I know that most /v/ posters don't have the patience to take their pants off to shit let alone get through the prologue and village outskirts opening of the game. The prologue is dull is bricks and the reason everybody thinks the combat in the game is so bad is because you are stuck for 8+ hours with only the absolute basic abilities. I forgive the game for this because I had the patience to get through it and the rest of the game is unique and awesome in numerous ways.
I also like the outskirts village before you get into the city, but it does make you feel like you are in an endless tutorial section of the game after making you wait through the prologue too.
>>
>>724302962
Let them play fortnite then, not all games are for everyone.
This reasoning leads to the slopification of good games, like bloodlines 2.
>>
>>724291209
I wonder if they will keep the aggressive amount of recycled repeated NPCs in the remake
>>
>>724303020
Mate the prologue sucks. There's no way around it. It takes at least twice as long as it should, and theres no significant plot happening for 90% of it.
You are just walking through the castle looking for npcs to talk to and doing household chores essentially.
The village was perfectly fine and frankly would have been a much better tutorial section. They coulda done everything that mattered in the prologue in a 20 second cutscene
>>
>>724303165
It acts as a tutorial because not everyone has perfect knowledge of the game.
Single player games used to have tutorial levels because they were complex enough, unlike modern movie games.
>>
>>724303223
So you are accusing a guy who regards W1 as one of his favourite games of being a modern retarded movie game addicted zoomer essentially? The prologue spend like 10 minute max of the 1-1.5 hours its takes actually teaching you how to play the game. The rest is you walking through empty hallways and listening to somebody bitch about the wall thats broken.
I love the swamp, yet think the prologue sucks for wasting your time. If your opening section of the game is a slog thats not a good thing. I still think it's easily worth playing though because the game fucking rules after that.
I've legit never encountered anybody here that was willing to defend the prologue of W1 before and I'm kind of baffled that you would.

I only have one complaint about that game, these sword need some fucking sheaths. I know it's fixed with mods but still, I will never understand devs that spend effort making a game with swordplay and then just fucking slap them on the back and call it a day

>>724304952
They did not have infinite budget and time.
>>
>>724291209
First game is significantly more of eurojank than two others, also pacing is terrible and if you're not immersed, you'll drop it in chapter 2 for sure. Also, those overly dramatic moral choices with mandatory overly exposed "consequences video" after every one of them are more funny than anything in 2025.

That being said, from all three witcher games, I remember first one the most, maybe aside of Blood and Wine. It felt like the most grounded, or maybe the most reasonable one, it does a great job at making you feel like world is going to move on with or without you, like you're just a tiny little mutant in the big world, like your little personal agenda is pretty much insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
>>
>>724291281
I never understood this. The combat is precisely the same as it is in W2/W3. You dodge/parry and then either press fast or heavy depending on the enemy type. It's literally the same system.
>>
>>724304997
no one does
>>
>>724305072
The combat is pretty boring for the first chunk of the game. LAter when you unlock more moves, potions, upgrades it become a lot more satisfying.
The power curve in the game is actually really satisfying. Part of that is the slow buildup at the start, but the game probably would have left a better first impression on many people if they gave you a bit more to play with to begin with.
>>
>>724300729
I'm fairly sure I found the swamp to be hard even at medium difficulty setting, which was my first play through difficulty. So I probably have no idea how much of a nightmare the swamp was on hard. I was used to treating hard mode in video games back at that time usually meaning that the game was going to be hard. I might have to replay it again to experience this.

>>724291209
Honestly it's the best (and only) game in the series. Witcher 3 is a moviegame witcher theme park and it's perfectly fine as a one time experience but doesn't bear any further playthroughs. Witcher 2 is a weird abomination of RED trying to chase whatever was popular at the time, lite-souls combat, those retarded QTEs, those weird half baked ideas like sneaking sections, shitting on every choice from 1 and making the world more generic fantasy in order to appeal to wider audience and still failing, I beat it twice and while I genuinely enjoyed some parts (especially second playthrough on nightmare difficulty) but I don't think I'm ever going back to it.
I've finished W1 six or seven times over the years so take everything I say with a grain of salt though
>>
>>724306641
Not really, the games reference a lot of stuff from the books but it's all done in very "Hey look, it's Glop Shitto!" way and not something you actually need in order to get the story. If anything it might sour you on the games because the game takes a lot of liberties with established bits of lore. Also english translation of books is fucking atrocious
>>
>>724291209
Yes.
It's a really good game, but I still unfortunately place it 2 > 3 > 1.
Saying that, though, it has been a long time since I played 1, and like the last two or three times I tried to replay 3 I just couldn't finish it.
The combat is a little bit weird, but once you get used to it, it's fine.
>>
>>724306975
2 is the worst "game" of the trilogy by a mile imo. Everything but the gameplay is really great though. The QTEs, horribly consolefied UI and shit like potion duration ticking down during cutscenes that you are forced to watch before a boss fight are borderline unforgiveable though.
The branching plot really is great though such a shame about the game they shat on top of it. W1 is a janky mess and is somehow far more satisfying to play from a purely gameplay perspective

I AM EMBARKING ON A QUEST OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE
>>
>>724307320
It for sure wasn't perfect, but I didn't mind the combat actually. Yeah, QTEs are whatever. I'm pretty sure you couldn't drink potions in combat too?
However, the story and characters (Triss, Roche, Iorveth, Letho, etc.) are just awesomely well written and exciting to watch/see.
Witcher 3 failed on the story and characters in my view, which is why I placed it lower.

Witcher 2 haters are retarded and can't appreciate true kino. The other 2 games fail on the grittiness factor. Also QTEs can be entirely skipped so not an issue. All 3 games have their flaws but 2 nails the story and characters best which is what is most important.

I felt the same way.
The thing I loved about Witcher 2's story was its groundedness.
W1 and W3 were all about mythical prophecies and the end of the world, really abstract high fantasy bullshit.
Whereas 2 was all about political assassinations, subterfuge, alliances, etc. It felt more real and exciting. There was mystery to it.
Plus, the branching stories was awesome fun. The same story being told from two different sides of the war, it made replayability a must.

Rhythm combat is suprisingly therapeutic to me, so I really just enjoyed how cozy the game made me felt running through rainy villages and swamps and killing shit while looking at Geralt's deadpan face as he meets hot mid 2000 pixelated women.

Proper white Polak here. The Witcher 1 is a proper action RPG in the vein of Gothic or Divinity 2. Suprisingly for 2007, it has very high quality textures on houses (devs visited several open air museums of Polish villages and took photos of walls). Modern audiences will hate Witcher 1 though, because it's not open world.

It was supposed to be many different things at different stages of production, I remember one of the main guys talking about how the combat was supposed to let you make your own combos from different moves sort of like god hand (or Remember Me years later)
Funny thing is, as late as E3 2010, so a year before witcher 2 release, they claimed they were going to implement a system where different monsters would attack differently so that you could for example wear plate armor on your legs to to gain advantage when fighting nekkers but they either scrapped it or it was bullshit all along

The saga end with Ciri thinking she's going to stay in england because lancelot looks like a good fuck, there is also that one guys who dies from his wounds right as he is about to put his dick inside Ciri

Combat and quest are atrocious. I genuinely skipped this game and its sequel.
>kill x and come back
>click x to death
Repeat till girls give you a slighty pervy picture or some gold
Didnt help that the combat is me just left click slightly different at times while chugging potions per fight

>>724306641
i listened to like 5 of the audiobooks and since i was busy while listening lost half the plot to compare to the games. but it seems like theyre mostly completely different. especially ciri in w3 shes like 16 but in the books it starts with her at like 10. the show is also completely different [closer to the books] from what i can tell as well. idc enough to actually sort it out tho so ymmv
>>
>>724310740
Just gonna leave out the parts of those quests where you need to learn about the weakness of X monster?
Or the complex investigative quest when you get into the city?
>>
>>724310849
Ah yes lets not forget.

>talk to like 2 different people

Riveting gameplay choices.
I would say the best part is the ending

>>724310532
i didnt say she wasnt bi, but she starts as a turbo dyke who does beat tf out of a kid trying to feel her up. i didnt read the last book so idk but england? lancelot? strange proper names on earth for the witcher.
im also pretty sure the guy dying traumatized her as well so it really pushes her back to being asexual over whatever you think she is

Not that anon but I think she uses her world-warping powers to warp on earth or something.

great game. first time playing it I had to get to chapter 2 before it sunk its teeth in though.

2 was still good, but 1 is by far the best game in the series, and the devs kept chasing after consolefags to the detriment of the games.

For one it had talents that actually changed the way you played, fighting better at night, damage reduction when drunk etc, not to mention potions and oils being much more impactful, also mutagens that you could use to unlock specific skills you couldn't get any other way
2 and 3 really dropped the ball with combat and skill trees
>>
Just bring the alchemy from 1 into 3. I don't understand why they made alch in 3 such casual garbage
>>
>>724291209
Absolutely. Just do mind that combat is about timing, not mashing attack keys, and powers can help you a lot in a pinch.
>>
>>724314394
playing on insane was both fun and annoying. it made regular fights interesting, but bosses like the drauger clipping you for a one shot hit after playing for hours was a pain in the ass. I still think 1 had the better mechanics for needing to properly prep for fights and learn about enemies though. saving up to buy books so you can learn what they're weak to, crafting blade oils and potions with additional buffs by experimenting, and using the sidearm weapons in niche situations was a lot of fun.

nah it's retarded. Shills claim the story is deep but there is a scene that goes exactly like this:
>You get to a tower in search of something
>The bad evil guy is defending it
>he kicks your ass, you are on the floor right in front of him
>cutscene to your friends arriving and the evil guy just leaves you out there FOR NO REASON instead of killing you

>>724291209
I played quite few different videogames so far, but i couldn't really wrap my head around gameplay of the first game. I heard second and third had different gameplay maybe i revisit them again

If you can get past not very good combat system, especially early game, and dated graphics then yes it's worh it.
Here description of combat system:
You have 3 combat styles(and 2 swords+some backup weapons that are there I guess) strong, fast and group. You switch style depending on opponent heavy is default, fast for fast monsters that you can't hit with heavy, and group dealing aoe sword damage for when you fight 3+ opponents.
Then you attack by clicking attack button the right time, the better combo(of clicking at right time) the better the damage. Yes combat is just clicker game especially early on when you don't have many potions and unleveled signs, it get's better later on but it's not very reactive system, just click when icon on screen turn red. Also swamp sucks, mostly because 2 out of 5 game acts take place there and there is not much beside infinite spawn of monsters and like 2 points of interest.
Game is still worth it if you can live with the bad(game being dated and not great combat system). It have great atmosphere. It's also cheap and often on sale so you only are investing your time.

If you faggots didn't like combat just install FCR mod and play on easy, it's still more challenging than vanilla hard but everything flows faster.

>>724305072
>It's literally the same
You're just lying. Just because you can make it sound alike in very simple terms doesn't mean it's the same.

>there is this optional stationary enemy that is fucking my shit up in a wide open field
If only there was a strategy for cases like that.
>>
>>724291209
No
>>
>>724326649
What have stationary plant enemies to do with the swamp sucking ass? Swamp sucked because it was large endless monsterfest, full of mobile enemies you were forced to exploer each corner of. Swamp fucking sucks.
Also there is no strategy against immobile opponents outside of leaving(best thing you can do with the swamp) because there is no ranged weapon in W1 while plants have ranged attack.
>>
>>724305072
Anon, you might genuinely be retarded.
>>
>>724326969
The whole game is stat and weakness checks. If you are getting bodied you arent ready for that enemy so just run past it.
It takes less than a minute to get to any corner of the swamp if you ignore the drowners and dont run right into the corpseplants
>>
why are zoomers here why arent you playing BF6 like the good goycattle? its okay if Witcher isnt for you.

>>
>>724327286
Problem with swamp isn't being body checked but swamp being unfun and tedious.
Swamp is W1 "oh for fucks sake this again" part of the game and you are forced there for 2 straight acts.
Swamp just feels like big waste of time.
>>
>>724327337
Of course it will. But most likely it will have better combat system, it's not like high bar...
>>
>>724327601
Filtered. Making the swamp your bitch as you get stronger is satisfying as fuck.
The second time is just a victory lap and you can blast through it quick.
>>
>>724327843
I finished game 3 or 4 times, or more. Swamp just fucking sucks and overstays it's welcome.
