To me the witcher 3 had the feature of collectible women cards from sex as a game mechanic, which really takes away from the notion of a deep or compelling story.
And it wasn't really well received at the time either, but it was a way of handling romance without the awkward cut-scenes that existed at the time. They only briefly showed on screen and IIRC weren't accessible later. It wasn't really collectable in the sense of collect-a-thon games like Mario Odyssey, either. Out of context it sounds horrible, in context it's a bit of a nonsensical addition.
They were going after a "french postcard" feel and it just didn't work that way. Possibly because people aren't as familiar with what they were referencing.
