The Witcher 3's 3rd anniversary today
- Thread starter J 0 E
- Start date
Looking forward to replaying it on the X soon. Probably the best 2000G I've gotten out of a game.
Top game with Horizon for me. Nothing quite beats this game's storytelling. Exceptional game that will go on as one of the best games ever, seriously.
If none of you have reads the short stories and novels, I'd HIGHLY recommend doing so. It makes the games even better.

GOAT.
Are we sure CDPR is done with Witcher franchise, or are they just done with Geralt's story? I really love the Witcher's universe, and although I would miss Geralt deeply, I would love another Witcher game with or without him.

Best game. Best expansions. Best everything.
Time for that third playthrough, see you in 200 hours.

They said they were done with Geralt's story, but never did they say they were done with the Witcher universe. I expect that we will see something in the 2020-2024 for the Witcher, which is obviously a time away from now lol
I remember when I drove to pick-up my PC Collector's Edition at midnight on 18/19th May. It was the first and only collector's edition I have ever bought. When I came back home to install the game it turned out that my CD's were broken (a lot of PC Collectors Edition CD's were broken) and I started downloading it through GOG but the servers were overloaded for like straight 2 hours. It was frustrating but I managed to start the game at 3 am or something like that and I was playing it for 15 hours or so. I loved every second of it.
It's up there with other titles as the best game ever made. Definitely GOTG.

Hearts of Stone yes, but Blood and Wine, about on par actually. Some moments were cool, and they really explore some cool setting, but the lack of a stronger, central villain like HoS had brought it down a little. It's the same issue that base game had, since Wild Hunt has too little presence or development to make for a great villain, but Wild Hunt even out with really great moments too.
Still have the GOTY edition in my backlog
May be the last PS4 game I play based on the fact I only brought it because of word of mounth

One of the biggest single-player games I know of with a consistently high quality, incl. the two expansions. Said expansions being great examples of the best DLC you can buy.
A sequel or expansion (unlikely i know) for this would top my list of most wanted game announcement.
Playing through this for the 4th or 5th time, 1st time on PC though. Just hit Novigrad, so need to start decide between Triss and Yen again soon.
I thin they claimed that the LOD is fixed back to normal? At least CDPR itself said that, but I know HDR is still funky with this game? So IDK what to do either
A lot of the time with anniversary threads, I think "I can't believe it's already been so long." But with this one, I more can't believe it's only been three years. It practically feels like the game has always existed for me at this point. I barely remember a time before Witcher 3.
I just got back into this after dropping it all the way back when it came out (for one reason or another). I'm 44 hours in and just got to Skellige.
One thing I love about this game is how its presentation is standardized, so doing a side quest, a contract or a random event never feels jarring or makes you think that it's just filler, as it is presented with the same care as if it was part of the main quest, in regards to animations, writing, voice acting and quest content. And what a great standard it is.
Geralt is easily one of the best protagonists I've played. It's always a joy to see him interact with others and the writing is just really convincing.
One thing I also like is that important and powerful characters don't conform to mainstream expectations as far as their looks are concerned. For instance, Dijkstra being just an overweight and bald dude, but being this highly intelligent and capable master spy, it just strikes me as... mature. I don't know how else to explain it.
There's much to say, but it's better to just play this.

Game of the Generation.
But, what's that piece of shit Olgierd doing next to Lambert (at least I think it's Lambert)?
Yep, although a lot of the characters, such as Djiktra comes from the books. However, the developers carry this same theme from the books to their own original characters as well such as with Letho in TW2. One of the running themes of the books is playing against expectations, especially as it relates to traditional fairy tales and/or fantasy tropes.

I'm reading the novels before playing the DLC. I have one more to go.
