Probably just as obnoxious as you trying to ridicule my preference of Bioshock's narrativeI even remember you saying in this very thread that my problems with Witcher are just words and it doesn't matter at all. You're a bit of a hypocrite as you can say anything to me even with that cocky attitude "wow, opinions and all" and get all defensive when you get a response in a similar tone. Clearly anything goes as long as it's in favour of the Witcher 3.
As for misguided comparisons, we compare storylines, not gameplay so what does it mean whether it's a corridor shooter or not? Witcher 3's story is still bland, plodding and awfully predictable especially for the best "RPG"/game ever made, which fact it tries to cover up with huge amounts of dialogue and padding. Characters? The only ones who weren't so painfully one-dimensional were Lambert, Dijkstra and the Bloody Baron.
Yennefer only knew how to throw a hissy-fit and act cocky through the entire game, Triss was your typical romantic sorceress, Zoltan an Dandelion were practically non-existent. Don't even get me started on Ciri and Vesemir.
Yet you can say things like it's an outstanding achievement next to anything? You've just said comparisons with other genres are "misguided" so maybe let's narrow that down to RPGsEspecially that games like Silent Hill 2 or The Last of Us IMO crap on Witcher 3's core feature from immense heights.
You're entitled to your opinion but you don't have to try and get all cocky because someone prefers the narrative in Bioshock or other games like your opinion is in any way superior, especially that it didn't take long for someone who thinks the same to show up. That's what makes you come off as a bit of a fanboy. Remember, it's equally funny for me that you genuinely think this is the best story of all time but I try to understand that. Best dialogues? Maybe up there. The rest, hell no.
And Bioshock is very, very far on my favourites list, BTW.
I don't call you irrational hater or other ad hominems, so I would appreciate the same from you.
I admit I was a bit flippant when I read from you how Bioshock has better story. I liked its story, the twist at the time was a nice mind bender. But Witcher 3 is so much grander in its scope, and most of it is written incredibly well, I just find it to be significantly more impressive achievement. The Bloody Baron/Witches, the whole Novigrad investigation with Carnal Sins there, Skellige with Possession and Lord of Undvik and many others, everything in Kaer Morhen, every interaction with Ciri..so good, so infinitely enjoyable. I completely disagree with your assesment of pretty much everything you posted in this thread when it comes to TW3's story, and yet I do have my own gripes with it that I wish CDP could fix. But what you call bland and plodding, I found to be interesting and well paced.
I finished Silent Hill 2 and Last of Us and both are fantastic. But neither comes close to TW 2/3 for me. Thems the breaks, I think we are just going in circles now.
But hey, at least you enjoyed the expansions better
