Why do current year game do that all the time? does this only annoy me or anyone else on here?
I know they try to simulate Tlou games and shit like that, making it more of a movie cinematic experience.
On Witcher 3 it's even a game play error, since the game actually tells you that you have to use either your silver sword or steel sword
for certain enemies, they even tell you that by the life bar-color of the enemy.
Anyways, drop in here what annoys you in certain games.

Witcher 3's sword problems are deeper than that. I was fighting a Leshen yesterday and it summoned wolves, typically not a big deal but I was ten levels lower than it on Death March (AKA Damage Sponge) difficulty. I switched to my steel sword to get rid of the non-magical adds but the game kept switching me back to my silver sword.
On top of that, when you're in "combat mode" (which the game decides, not you) your movement system changes and makes some terrain non-navigable. Putting your sword away merely makes Geralt fight with his fists.
That's without going in to the bevy of other issues they never addressed, such as random attack animations with different frame-timing and hit-windows, pockets of terrain in the swamp that you can't get out of if you fall in, the wonky-as-fuck jumping and climbing, and level-up abilities that don't work correctly (damage reduction while dodging), and a fundamentally schizophrenic battle system that can't decide if it wants to be Dark Souls or not and ends up just being shit.
CDPR are over-rated as fuck.

For FPSes:
- No option to make crouch a toggle instead of a hold.
- Making zoom/ADS is a toggle instead of a hold and not giving me an option to change it.
For RPGs:
- Short-lasting buffs that you have to keep recasting constantly. All buffs should last at least a few minutes by default.
In general:
- Actions that require double-tapping a button. I've never been able to get comfortable with double-tapping.

They are not clearly depicted as such. They look identical and act identical. There is no visual or audible difference between a "magic" wolf and a regular wolf. Maybe if you have health bars turned on that tooltip about enemies having different coloured health bars depending on steel or silver might help, but for people who like to turn that shit off, there's no fucking indication whatsoever.
In fact, that leads me to another pet-fucking-peeve.
GAMES THAT RELY ON FLOATING WAYPOINTS AND MINI-MAPS
Fuck this shits me more than anything. I was doing horse-races in TW3 today and there are races with branching paths that require strange loops and shit. Guess what? It's complete fucking guesswork unless you have the minimap open that leads you with a visible trail to the next waypoint in the race, because half the time even the torches that are supposed to light the way aren't visible from one point to another.
This reliance on mini-map and HUD bullshit really chaps my fucking ass. Characters don't give directions anymore, you just get floating fucking waypoints and a mini-map with an arrow that points in the direction of the next checkbox of your fetch quest and it's fucking bullshit.
BOTW gets a lot of shit, some of it's even deserved, but at least characters in that game (which aren't fully voiced which might be what makes the difference) give you directions from place to place. You can turn the minimap off and never use it, and you can place custom markers on the main map that are only visible when you use the special binocular tool, instead of floating in space at all fucking times.
The more I play TW3 the more I realise it's an over-rated piece of middle-of-the-road open-world slav garbage. The difference between a "AAA" game like TW3 and something like Risen 2 and 3 is the marketing budget and the presentation, because they're both sure as fuck buggy as hell and unpolished as a wet turd.
If you're some faggot game designer and you're making a game that requires the player to use a mini-map and/or floating waypoints, you're a fucking failure and you should be fired.

Because game designers are, I've decided, faggot homosexuals who have had so much dick pounding the back of their throat it's caused enough CTE to damage normal brain function.
The original Tomb Raider handled this fucking perfectly, and that was over twenty years ago when 3D games were still using fucking tank controls, for fuck sake. You press a button to pull out your weapons and you enter "combat mode" when using your hands uses weapons instead of grabbing ledges or other shit. Why TW3 couldn't manage this simple solution is beyond me, since the fist-fighting combat is fucking rubbish and managed to be even worse than the QTE bullshit in TW2.
>>14704979
I don't mind that survival and management bullshit if that's the actual game. A (good) roguelike is more about surviving as long as you can and making use of the tools and systems at your disposal.
But it absolutely does not belong in every genre, much less every game, and studios that shoehorn this shit in need to be cauterised with an orbital laser.

I didn't say Witcher combat is hard, I said it's shit. The combat is ridiculously easy, even on Death March/Dark Mode, the complications arise when you've got the fucking retarded random attack animations with different timing windows, half of which leave you vulnerable long before your attack hits, and in TW3 especially a system which lets you dodge infinitely without penalty and roll with the slight penalty of having stamina regen pause, and a parry system that is so generous that even if you throw it early and miss it still counts as a block.
Couple that with enemies getting superarmour after taking a couple of hits which can be completely negated by a sign (igni especially if you drink petri's filter to grant each sign a 100% chance at igniting enemies) and some light armour and tawny owl, and the game just becomes a matter of "two quick hits, enemy gets superarmour, cast igni and set 'em on fire, circle around their back for free crits, two more hits, stamina is regenerated by now, cast igni again, rinse repeat until dead".
Even enemies immune to burning are simple, as they just become tedious, like golems. Throw a Yrden down, hit them only twice (if you hit them three times they start to block), dodge away, hit them in the back for free crits, repeat.
Now if you combine that with a combat system that you can't get out of, since the game decides if you're in combat or not, and the terrain, being procedurally generated trash, is fucking full of potholes you can only jump out of, and since you can't jump in combat mode, you end up with a fucking travesty of a combat system that will leave you fucking stuck like a retard because there's no way out.
I finished TW2 on both Dark Mode and Insane difficulty, I've finished TW3 on Death March. The combat is not hard. The combat is shit.
d630ec No.14732579
>>14732567
I haven't seen a combat overhaul mod for TW3, and CDPR themselves attempted to fix most of the problems with random attack animations in TW2, but they're still there, they just stopped the more ridiculous ones (like the jumping cartwheel overhead strike with a full second of wind-up) from being triggered at point-blank range.
In TW3, pressing the attack button when standing still while at point-blank range will give different animations with different hitboxes and timing windows. You can test it for yourself.
