The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. I found them both a chore to play. There's just something about CDPR's games I don't like.
They are rich in story, lore, and world exploration. I love them for this. But! I hate having to revisit locations for new quests. It all feels like βCrap! Forgot the milk!β aaand, back to the store. βCrap! Forgot the eggs!β aaand back to the store. There arenβt many games with full, deep stories, but itβs the grind that wears me down.
I seriously thought I was the only one who thought this.
Insane take, the stories are so fucking good i creamed all over the tv
You cried at the funeral in Cyberpunk didn't you?
I totally didn't. Nope.
Naah it was okay, i like the touch of seeing the consequences of our actions past the adrenaline, i like the concept of disliking a good person or resonating with a villain
Well said
Hard disagree on Cyberpunk, that game is fun as hell. But I agree with you about Witcher 3. Tried at least 3 times to get into it throughout the years but quit like an hour into it every time. Just not for me.
That's been my experience with the witcher too. Cyberpunk pulled me right in for like 200 hours.
I tried to replay 2077 and there was just tons of dialog and all the action was over so quickly. I basically just drove around. Listed to dialog. Fought for a few minutes. Listened to more dialog and repeat.
I agree on Cyberpunk, though I still played like 20hrs.
I finished a mission and just realised I couldn't be bothered driving to the next one and blah blah blah and just closed the game for the final time right then.
First time I've been playing a game and that had happened.
I guess the game might still be worth it's sale price at 50% off if you can get 20 hours out of it, but it's still disappointing in my eyes that It wasn't able to keep me engaged.
I feel this way about all open world/map slop. I liked the first couple i played but after the novelty wears off it's an entire genre that sacrifices focus for a lot of lower quality content
The main problem with Witcher 3 is that it's way too long. Was a real slog to reach the ending. Didn't even bother with the addons. Cyberpunk was great in my opinion.
Well the two DLCs for witcher are both better than the main game because they are smaller, self contained stories.
