CD Projeckt Red The Witcher 3

Damn dude, don't put ME into this, I can't choose which is better, it will break my heart :(

But, yes! This game sets a new standard for the current gen, raises the bar to high levels. It's not perfect, but it's close to that!

For those having trouble with the font, you can adjust it on settings.

EDIT : What is bugging me most, is regarding the post epilogue game, it feels kinda empty, Kaer is now a ghost town, where did everyone go? Breaks the immersion for me.

Lol changing your avatar to a Mass Effect one isnt fooling anyone, we know the truth :cwink::oldrazz:
 
Finished it, got the bad ending for Ciri and Geralt, and have no wish to play this gave ever again. Who was that genius who came up with that filth? 100 hours of hard work. I did everything right (Temeria, Emhyr, romance) but they had to wrap up Ciri and Geralt story in such a terrible way. :(
 
I really disliked this game.

There I said it. I honestly had to return it. The combat and the jagginess really turned me off.
 
I've put in over 30 hours and have come across one crash and 2 minor bugs.

Within 8 hours I came across over twenty or so game changing bugs, from getting stuck between objects to character models not loading properly. One time an entire area was still had pre-load textures and it remained that way until I left the area.

The gameplay was fine, but for a game that costs around 80 dollars I expect a lot more polish.

I have to call BS on this. Ive not seen anything like this reported by other players. Either your console's processor or GPU is about to clunk out or youre exaggerating.

I'm a little over 80 hours in, and haven't gotten anything major. I've had the game crash on me three or four times, most of it pre 1.03 patch. Nothing major, but I'm speaking as someone whose poured hundreds upon hundreds of hours into RPG's in general.
 
So, I have to say...without a doubt, The Bloody Baron questline was probably one of the most best pieces of storytelling in videgames. It was one of the most nuanced, complex, human pieces storytelling about an extremely difficult subject matter.
 
Ive logged maybe 10 hours in game time and the only major glitch ive had is one total crash during a game of gwent. But that was fixed with patch 1.03. Besides that I got some very distant shadow fluctuations when I was playing patch 1.01, but those are supposed to be stabilized with patch 1.04.

The Bloody Baron questline was really strong.
But it also shows you that the witcher world only has two "endings" to everything.

A bad one or a worse.
Thats a bit sad in my opinion, it feels like no matter what you do...it will end rather bad.
But sometimes decisions can lead to a good outcome...i hardly found that however in the witcher 3 so far.

But overall the quests and storytelling in the game is fantastic.

Wow...what platform was this? I was running it on PS4.
 
Only just started this. I haven't killed the Griffin yet, i'm just exploring around and finding the question marks. Gotta say it's impressive but pretty hard. I'm curious to know whether i should start crafting armours and weapons etc now? Or can't i do that until i level up more and get into the game "proper"?

Well, find me a nice Yennefer avatar and I'll use it right away :hrt:

I'm not kidding, TW3 could be the best game I've ever played.

Not really, if you set the spirit free, like I did, the children are safe, if you kill it, the Baron and his wife lives but the children are dead.

There's no good ending, both are messed up IMO.

The Lesser Evil, actually.

I highly recommend if there's only one Witcher story anybody reads, it be 'The Lesser Evil'. That short story is the quintessential Witcher story that encompasses the heart of what the games, the character, and the novels are all about. There's hardly ever any 'good' decisions. And when you need to make a choice, you always wonder if you made the right one when choosing between greater evil and lesser evil.

It's the heart of what the Witcher is all about.

And I don't think it's cyncial, either. I think it's thematically about the how there can be no easy answers, no 'right' versus 'wrong', but can just be shades of gray that you can second guess if you made the right choice.

Haha, see what I can do!

I have to say its going to go down as one of my favourites of all time, its like a beautiful merging of Mass Effect 2 and Red Dead Redemption, the Mila Kunis baby of their offspring. Its constantly surprising and impressing me.

Any game that doesnt have a beard that grows in real time now is an insta-fail in me eye's for starters. :o:cwink:

Yes, maybe its because i always have the hero mentality in games...but i feel like the game doesnt let me really help.

The bloody baron is the perfect quest to show it.

Either i let the children die...or the baron loses his wife and hangs himself.
I decided to sacrifice the children, because the other way they seem to still die.
Nobody looks after them, in war times they are on their own...so they probably die along the way.

Im always the good guy and try to get the best possible solution in games, so its a bit hard to get used to this extremely grey tone of my decisions in this game.
 
Whoa wait.

I killed the tree, but the Baron didn't hang himself. We went to rescue his wife from the Witches and I fought a giant deer monster. When did he hang himself?

I've had similar bugs, but nothing in the quantity they are claiming:

Frame rate issues appear every so often.
I've had textures fail to appear twice. Both times in Novigrad.
Once, I walked into a building and nothing in the interior loaded - I could see underneath buildings, water, dead space, etc for a good 20 seconds.
I once got stuck inside a tree, with Geralt's sliding down a hill animation on a loop and was unable to do anything at all. Luckily, I was in a battle with some harpies, so I waiting until they knocked me out of the tree. Took a few minutes.

Considering how massive this game is, these are annoying, but forgivable.

Wait, no love for ME3? :(

Yes. I want dynamic beard growth in my Halo games too :o

Well, I would give them the chance to keep living their lives, regardless of the war and everything. I can't just sacrifice children based on what could happen tbh.

True. You'll get used to it :up:

Have you returned to the Baron's village?
 
I have played a good 50 hours. I have had some annoying bugs, two of which were two early sidequest not trigging. But overall it has ran smoothly. Also one of the greatest games I have ever played.

99.9% of ME3 is bloody awesome too, the ending could have been handled better but it did do a lot of things right and even loved the MP on it. The story line finishes for the Quarian/Geth and the Genophage were outstanding and as good maybe even better than ME2. Its just ME2 was the pinnacle to me but all three were great great games IMO.

Good to hear :up:
