The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Loving the game when it works. The story is grips me and keeps me wanting more. Problem is that it still crashes constantly to desktop, with no error code. like the game was never being played. tried so many ideas on fixes, but honestly, the developers should fix it then release the extra stuff. Developers nowadays seem to release broken games like its the norm. Just because the game has other qualities doesn't mean the flaws should be overlooked. (Its like saying the bugs in the fallout/skyrim games should be ignored because it Bethesda. Nah, Bethesda should be criticized on those flaw and should train their staff to make a working game for a change.) Don't get me wrong I love this game. All I want is to play it without unnecessary irritation. I believe that, for the most part, that you can have a good game that just works with fun game play but has a bad story, but will have a bad game if the story is great but the game play and game itself is broken and sub par. This game stands as a partial exception as I try to push through the flaws, but I couldn't agree its the game of the year. A working version yes, the actual version no. That being said, against the competition this didn't really have much of a fight. I would hope that CDPR will spend time on fixing the game and not on other projects as they were the ones to release it in this state (their current patches not being enough). IF they can fix the game it would be 5 stars. (minor side note that fits with this: I don't believe developers should be given any slack or benefit of the doubt regardless of how much we like the previous works or how cheap a game is. I feel that if you pay for something, that something should work. If not then it should not be sold until it does work. Maybe if that was the case then there would be no income until the game works. yeah there might be less games, but as I've always been told, quality over quantity). Guys fix the game, please.

I'm gona make this simple, I don't use the forums alot, and so far I see alot of smoke and BS in the air. 1. You don't really control your destiny in any way shape or form through this game. 2. THIS IS NOT THE WITCHER 3... It's actually The Legend of Ciri, Part 1. If you expect to be the witcher and as promised play a story line about the witcher and be the hero who destroys/saves the world from The Wild Hunt... your wrong. It's actually Ciri who basically does everything, wounds all the bosses for you to finish off, saves existence as we know it, makes the Witcher himself look like a weak imbecile, and basically you spend the whole damn game trying to find Ciri OR basically being a lapdog for Ciri or any female who walks by with a leash for you. 3. The PC keyboard/mouse controls for this game are playable, but after half way through the game (alot of hours) you'll get extremely irritated that it still feels like a console despite Witcher being a PC game originally. 4. Walking a mile down the street takes hours if you zig zag, run in circles, and smell every plant you can find, it will take longer if you chase after cars passing by (the side quests). This game is all fluff and crap. You basically playing a single player MMORPG. 5. Gerald has no masculinity or balls anymore, apparently the amnesia had another side effect... Gerald now does what he is told by anyone who tells him, is treated like shit, and reacts in 2 ways: A) He is a good lapdog is says yes master OR B) He snivels like a B**** and still ends up doing option A anyway because "He has no other choice". 6. The actual signs and skills in this game once again, most of them are found lacking or useless when there needed the most. You really don't need most of your potions, and can do without 90% of the time even on the harder difficulties. 8. The spell effects themselves are average or crappy at best (Ultra Settings). 9. Politics, feminism etc I hope any old school RPG fans will save there 75$.

Simply a masterpiece in nearly every aspect

My favorite game ever, really! Such an amazing store, amazing graphics, amazing world, amazing everything. I have purchased this same game in multiple occasions and platforms and it is still fantastic, every time is something unique and sooooo cool. I'm definitely going to replay the whole thing one of these days :D

I have played every RPG and MMORPG under the sun, and I was finally getting tired of RPGS with fetch quests and games on which no matter what you did, you didn't have an impact on the world. The Witcher is completely another game. You know you are having fun with a game, when you realize that you have been playing non stop for 5 hours, and you still want to keep playing, because of how immersed you are in the world. Gwent, fist fighting, side quests, cave exploring, bandit slaying, and a bunch of other things. Basically, if you played Witcher 2 and liked it, you should absolutely play Witcher 3 (buy it here on GOG.com), and if its your first Witcher game, don't worry, it explains things well enough for newcomers and the tutorials are really straight forward. Prepare yourself for a masterpiece of the RPG gaming genre.
