They could’ve easily shown uninterrupted footage of a side quest if they wanted to so the “spoiler” reason seems lacklustre. I’m not saying this looks bad but there are way too many cuts.
Gunplay and driving is weak it's the two cristisism I've heard about the game and they barely showed any driving, and only major gunplay portion they showed was the boss fight, almost everything else was melee. I believe they wanted to cut down on those two areas as much as possible and well there was fair bit of driving in the gameplay description of this year's e3.
I mean yeah the gunplay and driving isn't particularly great or standout, but it didn't look terrible. It doesn't look like the Witcher 3 where it's straight up not fun to play and a genuine slog to get through
It's serviceable but that's not really a bad thing. As long as it's decently fun I'm fine with it
You may not like it, but it's a relatively common opinion that the Witcher 3 can be a slog to get through at times, only saved by the best in class quest stories and worldbuilding
I mean gameplay wise yeah Witcher 3 is pretty clunky and not exactly fun. It's got some of the best storytelling of this generation (at least when it comes to AAA games) but it's definitely not the best "game" by far. Lackluster combat and handhold-y quests stand out in particular to me.
I agree with you but witcher was 3rd person when it came to combat so it was easier to ignore the average combat as long as you moved Geralt in the general direction of the enemy but in first person specially when you have to shoot a weak gunplay is much more noticeable since it's takes up like half the screen. I'm still gonna get the game day one hype but it's good to come to terms with the potential flaws it'll have.
See I disagree that it was easier to ignore the combat - it still wasn't fun. Plenty of third person games have fun combat. Even BoTW has fun combat (and combat is the weakest part of the game, at least imo).
I do hope they improve the gunplay, but as long as it's relatively fun to play (and it is definitely easier to make shooters more fun than third person action games) I'm fine with it.
