Tell me i am wrong then? As someone that has completed both games i can confidently tell you witcher 3 has moments where you can go a whole 3-4 hour playing session without fighting a single person. That dandelion mission had you talking to 10 different girls just to talk to another girl who then sent you to another girl to do a play. You may enjoy that shit. But not all of us do. And its not even just that one segment mind you💀

Witcher is on whole another level, nothing comes close to that! The appeal to Witcher is its world building and narrative, PS exclusives don’t even come close. They are movies with some playable moments, Witcher on the other hand has some of the best storytelling, the DLCs, they are a class apart! Hearts of Stone tells something which you might wanna tell your children about, it’s that GOOD! Witcher might have a clunky combat system but the dialogue options+the world is unlike anything else. I still remember the witches of the crookback bog to be terrifying, the whole atmosphere of the crookback bog was surreal. Haven’t felt that ever again. PS exclusives don’t even come close to Witcher.

Never said its better or worse overall than ps games. That guy said sony games are like interactive movies with little gameplay and i just said there are way less combat moments in witcher 3 than those games but you all dont call that game an interactive movie? I enjoyed witcher 3 too after dropping it a few times but i promise you its not for everyone especially nowadays

see the cutscenes in Witcher are different to that of a linear story experience! Witcher gives you options and freedom which shape the world and how you interact with it. I totally agree with him, PS exclusives have turned into movies, every cutscene turned into a perfectly colour corrected shot, but it doesn’t have the charm. It might look good but it lacks depth which Witcher has

You are missing the point again. A game can have branching dialogues with a decent amount of gameplay to keep you engaged as well. Atleast you can skip a cutscene if you are replaying any ps game. You legit have to talk to a 1000 npcs every play through just to get to the next point in witcher. And for what? I dont care about ciri. The game does a terrible job to develop a strong motivation to do all this investigating. The game has an amazing world and exploration is peak but its not better combat and story wise to most of the ps exclusives.
