Someone sell me on Witcher 3

Yes, I'm serious.
I originally bought the game a short time after it was first released for the Xbox One. I was very excited to play it, as I love open world games. The combat looked fun, the story looked intriguing, and the graphics looked stunning.
However, when I began playing, I found that the game was plagued by low frame rates, frame rate drop, clunky combat, lack of customization in character creation and in combat, repetitive storytelling (meet a person, go kill something, bring something back to person, move on), lack of meaningful lore, and a storyline that was VERY slow to start. I sold the game a few days after buying it.
I know it won game of the year, but looking at the lineup of game that was released that year, it didn't have much competition. AC Syndicate was bad, EA Battlefront was good but lacked a campaign, BO3 was meh, MGS5 was meh, Fallout 4 had about 15 hours of decent gameplay, Halo 5 continued the downward trend of the Halo franchise, Arkham Knight paled in comparison to Arkham City, and smaller games like Rocket League, Life is Strange, and Rainbow Six Siege were all good, but weren't produced on the same scale as TW3, so it's unfair to compare games like that.
As a series, I much prefer TES vs TW. What say y'all, tGamingRant?

Come on man. I wasn't very fond of the Witcher but this is just you being lazy.
You can't fully enjoy a game like the Witcher unless you have a great gaming PC. That's how I play it.

never experienced this in over 200 hours on PS4

lack of customization in character creation
You play as an established character, not some generic person you create. There's different types of armor if you just want to play dress up.

lack of meaningful lore
You sure you're talking about the right game? This so far from true it makes me think you never played it.

Again, I don't think you're talking about the right game. The graphics, lore, characters, and story are all top notch. It has me looking forward to the netflix series because there's so much material to explore.
Admittedly the combat was a bit clunky but it wasn't a huge problem. Everything else was really great though.

quote:Witcher 3 has some of the best story and side missions that don't feel at all like fetch quests. The contracts are basically fetch quests but they can be fun and you get some money. Saying the game doesn't have meaningful lore is straight up untrue. Try reading some of the books in the game. I almost feel bad for you having this outlook on the game. I can understand just not liking it, but most of your reasons are completely false. They completely overhauled the UI and made things a lot easier to navigate on consoles. Graphics aren't as sharp as they were around launch, but they downgraded some textures to improve the frame rate. Also, the two expansions are better than the main story IMO.
repetitive storytelling (meet a person, go kill something, bring something back to person, move on), lack of meaningful lore

If you thought these were all problems with the game then you aren't ever going to like it and I feel bad for people like you who have to nitpick every masterpiece that's made available to the public.
