I always dislike The Witcher 3. As many times as I tried to like it as many reviews as I read that it was amazing. Dear God the controls sucked and I hated that game. No matter how many times I try it.
I found the core game to be... okay. I wound up with far too many ways to deal damage than I needed, nevermind the enormous stockpile of potions and other things that I carried around. But the challenge was never completely where I wanted or expected it to be.
Meanwhile I'm like one of 15 people in the world that hate playing gwent.
Edit: I only learned recently that you're supposed to collect all the good cards before playing gwent. As someone that loathes pay-to-win-CCGs, I find myself disliking it even more now. Even though it's just in-game, the concept of having to collect playing cards just isn't fun to me.
I completely agree with the horrible controls. That's why I stopped playing it. But in fairness I was on the PS4, not PC. And had just finished a play through of Red Dead Redemption 2, which has some of the best controls I've ever experienced on a console. (Except when you accidentally punch your horse instead of mounting it)
Man I first tried seriously to get into Witcher 3 after playing MGS5 and it was like being dropped into janky molasses. Don't get me wrong, MGS5 has an awful story, obviously unfinished, but boy is it fun to play.
I 100% agree, i can not stand the controls in Witcher 3. I've tried 3 separate times to get into it and it just feels so awful to play.
What did u use, Controller or Mouse+Keyboard? Cos with the latter I absolutely had zero problems.
Do is with a mouse and keyboard because I played it on my pc. I also tried playing it on my Xbox and it was even worse. Just give me a fucking hack and slash I don't need some weird fucking do this to do this attack oh wait now you got to do this to do this attack fuck that shit let me press a and let me press b let me press c let me press x let me press why let me press a button to make a fucking attack in the directions.
