"Usually when big media outlets begin scoring games close to perfection - which is the case for the IGN (9.3) and Gamespot (10) scores for the Witcher 3 - everybody picks something out about the game to perhaps taint the general perception. In the case of CD Projekt Red's latest title, combat seems to be a point of contention."
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

I have no issues with the combat, and absolutely love the fact that even if you are level 20, you an still get owned by a pack of level 15 drowners.
For me my biggest complaint is the loot/inventory system. My goodness, I've never known a game overly bog itself down with an overcumbersome inventory/loot system. You get way too much loot, which completly devalues items such as Dwarven spirit, alcohest etc etc.
But I have to say though, that this is really a minor inconvenience. All-in-all I'm loving The Witcher 3 and can't get enough of it!
no complaints on combat. but, trying to get geralt to simply step in a boat?....another story-the more precise controls are much too sloppy.
Can someone honestly explain to me what the combat is like in Witcher 3? Still working on a backlog, but would appreciate some foreknowledge.
Using DMC, Dragon's Dogma, and Souls as a point of reference, can I get a decent compare and contrast.
I got Inquisition, and reviews I read never told me the combat was going to be garbage.
The combat is fine. Criticizing popular games is clickbait 101.
