How well have the first 2 witcher games aged?

2 is easy to get into but 1 is a rough start because of the goofy combat. you have to chain combos by timing mouseclick with a arrow indicator but you get used to the timings

Witcher 1 is kinojank, but nothing you accomplished in it ever really carried over. Even in Witcher 2 they had already disavowed a big choice from Witcher 1 where you saved Foltest's cursed daughter instead of slay her. I guess Daddy just said "yeah no filthy bitches on my throne" and disinherited her in favor of those two young bastard children he had sired.

>1
still the best one
>2
still the worst one but frankly it's a lot better game than I remembered it's stupid that in order to be able to afford anything you have to run around looting people's houses and random crates tho, also there is such a tiny encumberance limit while you need to carry so mamy different items for crafting that by act 2 you will find yourself emptying your eq every 5 minutes, wtf were they thinkkng

Only slavs cared about first 2 games and there are reasons for that.
Just don't try to like them just because you liked witcher 3.

install a running speed mod for TW1 cuz there's a lot of slow backtracking
TW2 is alright but gets brought down a bit by being an early 2010s Console Xbox QTE era game

Skip 1. That's been the most common advice since Witcher 2 came out. This idea that 1 is good, much less the best in the series, only started after the contrarian fuckbrains on Any Forums saw how popular 3 got.

read the fucking journal nigger, she was assassinated (if you saved her in w1)

1 has aged like milk, not that it was all that great to begin with. 2 is kinda better, but the gameplay is still basically what you'd expect from a eurojank title made with the budget of vodka and kielbasa.

first one is kino purely because it draws from the books more. 2 and 3 are also good in their own regard but rely heavily on the canon that the prior games introduced. 1 is also a lot more slutty just like the cuck author intended.

1st one is the most comfy and the story is kino
2nd one is fine
3rd one suffers from the huge empty open world and no question marks aren't content

2 is genuinely one of the worst games i've ever tried

1 is great
2 has one phenomenal thing about it (the second act), everything else is okay to bad. They doubled down on that stuff for 3, unfortunately.

They're all very different game and there's no guarantee you'll them if you enjoyed W3. It's not like Mass Effect where trilogy is comprised of incremental changes or sidesteps, for example.

Don't listen to anyone who tries to shill Witcher 1 to you

Anyone who played Witcher 1 and calls it "the best" like this retard will only ever use abstract dogshit like
>it's comfy
>the err, Eurojank is funny
>SOVL

Because the game is irredeemable garbage on every level.

>Runs on NWNs engine, so it was horribly aged on release
>combat is not only objectively simplistic compared to Witcher 3 (which everyone shits on despite it having better combat than most RPGs), it's also canonically wrong, in what fucking world does Geralt stand still. The combat system also makes every enemy feel identical, go look at the cockatrice fight in the sewers and compare it to fighting Salamandra members or whatever, identical
>quests are fucking horseshit outside of Chapter 1, 4
>chapter 2 is one giant fetch quest within a fetch quest that's meant to be some "detective shit" with it having no way of being failed (there goes the kino detective work) and the big reveal being "surprise, it's me Azar Javed, are you surprised Witcher?"), which is also funny because a throwaway Sidequests in Witcher 3 (Carnal Sins) revolving around a murder mystery is infinitely better because it CAN be fucked up and also is simply better written

And here's the biggest offender
>completely horseshit story (muh amnesia) and key characters are literally retconned in how they act
>Triss is "totally not Yennefer btw"
>Alvin is "totally not Ciri btw"

Game is fucking shit, has no redeemable qualities and i've never been more pissed off for being tricked into sticking out a game until I dared download it.

Think of it as S.T.A.L.K.E.R, a horseshit game that has a cult following because it's not popular and fans who can only use buzzwords to praise the game because the games at their core are fucking shit.

Throw in some Eastern European developers who are literal who tier (relative to when Witcher 1 released) and "by golly gee, this is underrated kino").

And fuck the polish rats who disagree

None of them are worth playing

>question marks aren't content
same shit as going into a random cave and smacking a basilisk in 1
how could you be this delusional? just axiied your own brain?

>first one is kino purely because it draws from the books more
How the fuck can you say this when Triss is written and depicted the way she is and how the entire first game literally retcons the entire book series you retarded pseud

holy mother of based

based post
but stalker is good, just mod out the head bobbing for SoC

fucking this, you literally never see people praise Witcher 1s quests, story or shit, even the writing because even that was janky as fuck (translation issues or something?). Game was so fucking bad, I enjoyed the Lovecraftian chapter though

never played Witcher 1 but completely agreed with you on "fuck Polish rats".

Slimey ugly rodents who are everywhere besides Poland

there are a lot of pleople playing 80s and 90s videogames right now, how abput you use your internet service and search for motherfucking gameplay videos and decide if it worth or not? what the fuck ius wrong with you people? are you fucking retarded? cant you just search a fucking video on youtube? jesus fucking christ

what's your opinion on Witcher 2 and 3?

It's never been worth playing lol, all 3 games are dogshit

>noooo stop discussing videogames on a videogame discussion board
>better watch e-celebs so you can copy their shitty opinion

Haven't played 1. 2 is great though. Combat starts out rough but honestly wasn't a major turn off for me. Loved the story and the way the game splits up into completely different games depending on player choice rivals modern RPG's.
Talking with Letho at the end was one of the better endings I've seen in any RPG. Interesting to see how a guy can seem like an uncaring mercenary to a sympathic radical over the course of the game.
And of course, LESBOMANCY
