RE: Why The Witcher 3 is one of the best games in over a decade

in #gaming7 years ago (edited)

Good points on Witcher 3! The only other RPG of this caliber would be Skyrim. Now, here's the caveat: the vanilla Skyrim is worse than Witcher 3 in all aspects (story, graphics, gameplay, soundtrack, general polish). However, Skyrim really comes to life because of the modding community. By itself, Skyrim is an OK game, but, you have the means to tailor the experience to your liking, which can (and for me, did) make it the perfect game. Mod makers sometimes make DLC-sized mods, fully voiced as well. The graphics effects mods could, theoretically, make Skyrim look even better that the Witcher 3. Same goes for polish, sound, and gameplay. Plus, there's the replayability point. Once you complete the main quest, side quests and the DLC content, there's nothing to do in the Witcher 3. But in Skyrim, there's always one more story mod, or one more quest that you haven't played before. That has kept the game fresh for 6 years. And the immersion is far stronger in Skyrim because of the first person view. I find it hard to be immersed in games with a third-person view, since IRL, you don't see the world from a quadcopter flying above your head with a camera.

Those are some great points man. I do agree that Skyrim seems more alive as there are multiple mods available. Again, it's all based on preference. Personally, I don't really mind the third-person view, but I guess you do have a point that first-person view makes you feel more immersed in a game. Thank you for reading my post and thank you for your comment :)
