The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

just upgraded to a evga980ti graphic from a 770 just so I can play in uhd and I gotta say was worth it only on level 9 looking forward to more game time but when to stop is the hardest part and I'm an old bloke 58 enjoying computers

Glad that there is a developer from Eastern Europe from where I am also, who can bring that old school RPG feel to us PC gamers from the 90's. The best PC RPG experience to date with all the beauty of the world and graphics and landscape. This is a must.

While most games nowadays are made solely for business purpose and making money, this game is what defines pure love for ones work. CDPR have done the impossible by improving every single sequel in the witcher series. And this is one masterpiece. The Witcher 3 redefines the open world genre while keeping true to its core of strong storytelling. This is an absolute must buy! Don't think twice, just get it.

To start off with, Witcher 3 is a great step over the previous game with everything except movement on mouse and keyboard(Game is designed for controller/gamepad in mind) In this game you can easily get distracted and lost in the numerous side quests and monster contracts along with treasure hunts, quests in this game put others to shame. You can easily get 80 hours of gameplay out of it even if you skip some of the real petty secondary guests. Combat is really dependant on what difficulty you choose, at the lowest difficulty you basically spam attacks and sometimes use signs/spells, OR you can max it out and have to strategies your movement, attacks, and signs to beat a single opponent. There's a great deal of a open world to traverse and explore, some sections are small while others are vast fields, valleys, mountain ranges, and battlefields with scattered corpses. And with any Witcher game, you get to have "Fun" time with various Witches and ladies of the night, plus a few extras in the base game and DLC. Now the DLC is great, the 16 free pack is very well worth it, some being redone Witch outfits while others completely redo entire quests with a new ending and outcome. While some bugs and other things are still being ironed out, it's still a great buy if you love the Witcher games or just want a new RPG experience. You may get lost if you haven't played the previous games(I didn't play the first) You can also purchase the novels and understand some of the lore even better(There's not many, and not as extensive as like Dragon Age or Warhammer 40k with its staggering 40+ novel series) Buying this game is very well worth it.

About two years ago I tried playing The Witcher 2. I didn't like it all that much but wasn't too raw about it as I hadn't spent much money on the game anyway. I played it for perhaps two hours and realised it wasn't for me. Then The Witcher 3 was released. It wasn't on my radar due to my reaction to its predecessor. My friend, though, owned it and couldn't stop raving about it, saying that I would love it as much as he had and he also disliked W2, etc. etc. And it was nicely discounted... So I bought it. And I don't regret it one bit. This game is amazing. I didn't care for W2 but so what. W3 has thoughtfulness, is absolutely massive, looks incredible and is just plain fun to play. If you didn't like W2, I urge to to give W3 a go anyway- you'll probably end up loving as much as I do. I can say this now even though I haven't played this game all that much yet. I know I want to stick with the characters to see what happens to them all by the end. I want to find out more about the creatures that roam around the world. Hop on your horse, choose a direction and canter off into a new and exciting adventure. There's hours of rich and challenging game play to be had in this game.
