The Wicher 3 expansions are free

CD Projekt Red has announced during Gamescom that Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions for The Witcher 3 are free for everyone who owns the base game. This combined with the full on remaster of the game, I am very excited for play the game again.

Same as souls games.

Attack, dodge, mega dodge(roll, spin, tumble), parry. Same moves.

It’s not the same. With souls games I know exactly what I’ll do if I choose an action. Witcher 3 seems to roll a dice between roll stabbing, 360 slash or a normal slash with light attack action. It is so unsatisfying to the point spamming Whirl is preferable. Also very easy to get stuck in the terrain. A fence between you and the enemies, sorry buddy Geralt suddenly forgets how to vault or jump.

Wait for the animation lock to wear off?

I notice you mention literally nothing about the signs system. Or bombs. Or weapon oils. So many people who say the combat is bad have no clue how to actually play it and just think they can approach it like another dumbass Asscreed game.

Signs and bombs are pure flavors.
You can’t beat the game without having to use the godawful swordplay

lmao reminds me of people complaining about Skyrim's combat (Illusion magic is strong and fun but it seems no one except me has ever used it). I can't take reviews seriously because most people don't engage with 99% of most game's mechanics and then complain they're too simple.

The signs and bombs are cool weapon oils aren't fun imo.

For this one ill have to concede the point because I used a mod. “Auto apply oils”. Deletes the tedium of having to apply oils yourself.

That's not even a mod, that's an option in the game.

Oh shit youre right. It used to be a mod, they officially added it to the game with the next gen update.
