Why was this GOTY again?

Just bought The Witcher 3 on sale, been playing it for about three days in a row really trying to enjoy it but it's just so fucking lame.
What's so special about it? I read that the story and the characters are good but, is that it? The combat gets better, right? Please tell me the shitty combat gets better.
Any suggestions on how to approach the game to actually enjoy it or should I just drop it and ask for a refund?

Where are you right now in the game.

It was pretty much the only game released in 2015

compare this to bioware rpgs and have a good laugh, then a drink

People are easily impressed by a nice open world and story. The gameplay is dogshit and never gets better.

Bloodborne is GotY 2015.

you got tricked by hypefaggots

>I'M NOT HAVING FUN
the contrarian screams as he sinks 200 hours into the game

>bloodborne loses to witcher 3
>dark souls 3 loses to the DLC
die mad fromfaggots

this. online "geek culture" dictates hype. the actual video game aspect of witcher 3 outside of the writing is boring.

DaS3 should have won against TrannyWatch tough. W3 is still better than Bloodborne by miles.

The only FROM game with combat better than Witcher 3 is Sekiro

Not too far in the main story. Been doing a lot of side quests and exploring around. Currently trying to finish the quest to kill a giant spider but seems to be "too high level" for me to take it down.

Every Souls game has better combat than W3 faggot. Go actually play those games instead of having movement assist of Witcher 3 LMAO.

I've only played the Withcer 2, and I liked the story but the gameplay just sucks, the fights are way to easy, I remember the first fight against Letho I completely reked him only for him to defeat me in a cutscene and the game implies Geralt was barely a match for him...
The I thought "maybe I should change the difficulty to hard" I did, the game is still the same, enemies just do more damage but is super easy to just keep spaming attacks and signs and they never get a chance to attack. Is the Witcher 3 like this too? or did they actually improve it?

I wont say its the best game in the universe, but i like it a lot - when i start playing it, the whole day just passes by, its sucking me in so much.
The dialogues and the music is the magic in it, i think.

I hate the combat system in DS2 and DS3 but if you genuinely think that The Witcher 3 has better combat than any Souls game, either you're baiting or you're a complete retard.

This really. Even DaS2's hot garbage combat looks like a masterpiece compared to W3.

CDPR fanboys shill for this bland game 24/7 for free. You can't make this shit up

I hate how everyone praises the story of this game but its fucking boring and goes nowhere oh gotta find ciri oh shes gone oh another clue repeat this ad nauseum.
Unless you can give me 5 specific examples as to why the story is good or unique in ANY way, STFU about this story being so epic and amazing. Its the same shit with TLOU, the story is a fuckign emotionally manipulative nothingburger that gets praised to high hell

cos its a fucking 10/10 game

What do you mean does the combat get better ? It's not like it's gonna suddenly going to turn into Bloodborne tier gameplay if that's what you mean. But skills and abilities do end up making the game more fun at least in my opinion. The narrative and characters are indeed what you're playing the game for. It's not everyone's cup of tea so don't keep playing if you're not enjoying it.

Can't judge you for that. For what I've played so far, I enjoy the dialogue and the music as well, it has a rather comfy feeling to it and makes me wanna come back despite everything, but man I was expecting so much more when it comes to the mechanics and the side quests.
Those aspects are extremely important for me to enjoy a video game but they are just so repetitive.
I watched a couple videos where you can play with Ciri and read that her abilities and moveset are more fun than Geralt's so I'll be expecting something good out of that.

It wasn't.

Nah, I don't think any of them are nearly as fun as Witcher 3

You're in for disapointment. She's in maybe six 5min stretches in the whole game

>>i just played 72 hours straight of this game goddd it just sucks so much
>also guys can u give me some tips on this game please i hate it so much that i want to improve on it
if you really hated it you would have dropped it after 1 hour or less
the game is good

It was impressive at the time for being a massive open world RPG with animations, cutscenes and graphics that are to the same quality as a linear game like Uncharted. That is the only reason it was praised lol.

>ciri """moveset"""
she literally has no abilities
its just dodge

i feel you OP, i beat the game and it never got good, the story was shit as well. the only reason why i kept playing was because I loved the Witcher 1.

It was GOTY because it was the best game that came out that year.
