The Witcher 3 and Mass Effect Andromeda thread

Maybe. I'd have to get my copy of tw3 back since I llaned it out.

Having just finished MEA (100 hrs) and switched back to tie up loose ends in TW3, I have to say that the difference in quality--at nearly every level--really is considerable. And Geralt is just the best. I say this as a girl player who generally prefers to play a female protag. He may be my fave character to play ever, aside from femShep.

I think what I love about him is his disgruntled sarcasm. Someones he just made me crack up ("Fascinating story. Any chance you're nearing the end?"). I don't really consider it roleplaying though; he doesn't have the range in dialogue for that, though moreso in decisions.

Geralt is fantastic. I may or may not* have shed a tear the moment Blood and Wine ends and I know the it's the end of the road, or rather the Path, for him.

*I totally did.

Why do games need to make the the top 100 list though? There are some games I have played that are just fun, but they will never reach any top 100 lists. The Senran series comes to mind.

In which I agree, I do think it is pretty average, but I don't see anything wrong with average. It could have been much worse like the ghost busters games they try remaking. In all honesty, I don't think MEA should be compared to TW3, and they should just accept it for how it is. Yes, I know the dev comparisons, but the end product is different.  Like I said in other threads, I have never nor ever play TW3, but I can still respect it as a good game. It's more apple to oranges comparisons.

I pretty much did too; at that point and and when they left Kaer Moerhen after the big battle; I could feel that it was the last time they would be there...that they were going to go their separate ways.
Geralt really won me over the course of that trilogy.  When I played the first game, I was more interested in his profession and what kind of adventures he would have.  I enjoyed meeting his friends again for the first time (since he had lost his memory)Deadpan humor and uninterested in taking crap.  I enjoyed his reactions to things; especially in the third game.  His reaction after fighting the gravedigger was the same as mine as the player..we almost said it in unison (what the f**k was that??)I hated to see it end but they really did a fantastic job with the game and both expansions.  I loved Stone Heart; didn't think the next one could top it but it did.  And the battles...yeesh.  You think at that level you're a bada** and you fight Dettlaff that first time...let's just say I was relieved when he decided to retreat.  

Let's not become hysterical. Bioware has a ton of great games under their belt. CDPR has a couple good ones, and one stellar one. Wait a bit before you start polishing their crown.

Where did I do that?

I mentioned TW3 and Andromeda. Of course if you compare all their games, Bioware is far ahead. It has 3 top tier RPGs: Baldur's Gate 2, KoTOR and Mass Effect 2. CDPR has one. 

Fair enough

How are you rating them being "top tier"? I'd argue none of the mass effect games are of that caliber period as that's reserved for games that changed the industry(ME sales have never been big enough to ever show it has that influence). How many games are modeled after any mass effect game being the standard of the RPG genre?
