I’ve been playing The Witcher 3. I have played Witcher and Witcher 2 many years ago and had a good time with them, even with the first one, now I finally had the time to give Witcher 3 a chance and I’m not enjoying it very much. I like the overarching story so far, I like the narrative, good dialogue is something I think is very underestimated in RPGs (and I played a few ones recently that are awful at that, namely Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars).
What I don’t really like is the combat. It’s very clunky and doesn’t feel rewarding at all. Another thing that is bothering me is the open world. I think my patience is not what it used to be. Games like Skyrim and Morrowind are among my favorite games but here I’m finding it hard to connect with the world. There’s just too much to do. A friend suggested I should focus on the main quest but it just feels wrong skipping everything else, I feel like I’ll miss a core part of the game by doing this, but when I force myself to do these sidequests it just feels like a chore. In fact just starting the game is tough, once I start it play for a few hours, but whenever I’m about to start it just feels like a drag. Maybe I’m burned out of open worlds. I still don’t want to give up on it completely but I’m thinking about going for something like a dumb corridor shooter for a while.
