Because that’s not the focus of their game. That’s why. Witcher 3 chose to focus on the story and the combat is bland and boring. Dragon’s Dogma has great combat and a lacking story. Your point makes no sense.

Goronmon@kbin.social 10 months agoI don't see why a specific studio gets a pass for story criticisms just because they are notorious for being lacking.

Did you really just say the Witcher 3 combat was boring? Am I hearing this right? What was boring about it to you I am genuinely curious.
Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yes. It was boring. Not sure how to misinterpret that lol. It’s bland. I’ve tried to finish the game twice and no matter how good the story is I can’t finish it because it’s a drag to play.

Witcher 3 didn’t get a pass from me, I gave it up because it was getting repetitive.

Agreed

Because at this point it is their stylistic choice, same as Ace Combat or like asking Kojima not to make a convoluted vomit of a narrative. You kind of know what you are getting into. And with how much long cutscenes and exposition takes you out if the game (I’m looking at you FFXVI) I like this approach to pure action games.

If the story or it’s presentation is lacking then it’s something a lot of players may want to know before buying the game.
Now how much it should affect the actual score depends on the reviewer.
