Hey guys please help,
Which one is better guys?
I like action and adventure and I want these games on my pc. So which one would be better?
I have a msi gtx 1070 gpu so both of the games should be good to go.
Thanks

Both are different games. I have both too but played them for around 5-7 hours or so because I have too many games. Metal Gear have more military style and stealth action. Witcher 3 is more fantasy style with a focus on story and characters. And the graphics are incredibly beautiful. If you ask me, I was and I am a huge Metal Gear Solid fan for the first game. But todays MGS is more open world and very disappointing to me. I like Witcher 3 more, but for a recommendation its heavily depending on the type of world you want to play. I like the stealth action parts of MGS too. So, do you want a TECH based game or more FANTASY?

Having both and liking both I think I can give you a fair analysis. I think Metal Gear Solid 5 has better combat but a mediocre story. Witcher's combat isn't that great and can feel repetitive. The combat reminds me a little bit of Dark Souls and Assassins Creed except those games do it much better and I guess that's my problem. I wish you could grapple guys and throw them, use bows, bash people with shields, and have a little more variety than just weak attack and strong attack. However I think the story, quests, and variety of the world is far better than MGS5. For example in Witcher there are regular towns people, even children, doing their day to day work. The world feels a lot more alive than MGS5 where the world is entirely filled with bad guys. The quest system in Witcher is also probably the best I have ever seen in a video game. There are usually multiple ways of completing quests and quests can usually be done out of order. It reminds me very much of the quest structure of Fallout 1 and 2.

Both games do suffer from a bit of repetitiveness however Witcher has a ton more unique quests whereas MGS5 tends to recycle areas and quests.

I personally would recommend both games, but if you must pick one I would choose based on whether you want better story/quests (Witcher) or deeper combat (MGS5). Another thing to consider is whether you feel like shooting guns or wielding swords and magic. i.e. Game based in reality or game that is fantasy.

If I were you I would buy one now and wait for a holiday steam sale and get the other.

Yeah..i hate rpgs and fantasy and levelling up and crafting and lore...but witcher 3 is actually the best game I have ever played. Immersive, exceptional visuals, deep deep story and just so fan.

89 hours in, level 25, still enjoying it. Haven't finished main story yet

Mgs v was kinds rubbish when I tried it. Imo.
