I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING MORE GAMES LIKE THIS I CANT WAIT TO SEE IT ON WINDOWS11 this so the best games i play so far i cant wait to play more games like a madman
First, let me just say to anyone who hasn’t played this yet that this game is LONG. Even if you only play through the main quest, it’s gonna take quite a bit of time to get through. I won’t give away any spoilers, but I got to one point thinking I was near the end when I was actually only about two-thirds through!
This game does have quite a bit of interesting quests and side stories, but you’ll have to muscle your way through a lot of repetition and backtracking in between.
On a somewhat related note, the world does feel pretty big. However, the available fast travel system leaves something to be desired. Some fast travel points are so far apart you have to decide if it’s faster to get to them and wait for the next area to load, or just run your horse there.
Overall, it’s a decent game. Some of the stories and characters you come across make it well worth it.
After 50 hours of gametime, I have just started the third and last act. The breaking point of starting to really dislike this game was the idiotic quest in the Isles of Mist where that dwarf fell asleep 4 times during the escort quest and you had to manually wake him up every time. This padding of gametime is not needed for such a long game. It really hurts the game by making it even longer than it has to be.
Also lots of quality dips in the last part of the game, like the mouse cursor being visible and movable ALL the time, during cutscenes, loading screens and during actual gameplay.
Also the GOG overlay causes severe camera movemement stutter so I had to disable the GOG Galaxy overlay.
At this time, I can't just uninstall the game because I have spent too many hours of it. "Too big to fail" comes to mind, where I have to finish it, or else these 50 hours are just wasted for nothing.
"The Witcher 3 is the best game I've ever played" is a common statement made by people who have played it, citing excellent stories, gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, etc. I never understood it, personally, as, of all the footage I had seen, very little of it looked anywhere near appealing. So when I had the ability to purchase the entire franchise cheap thanks to my GOG welcome sale, I figured I'd give it a go, as I didn't feel like shelling out $50 for The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition on its own when I could get it, along with the enhanced editions of the first and second games, for only $30. Do I feel like I spent my money well? For that price, yes, I do. But if I had spent full price, not really.
It could be that I need to play it further than I have to really get what's so "great" about this game. I can honestly admit that it surprised me, I expected much less. But at the same time, I can't help but think that this game is just beyond overrated. Typically, if a game is good, it can capture me pretty much instantaneously (this happened most recently with Fallout 4). The Witcher 3 still hasn't captured me, TRULY captured me. Yes, I've enjoyed my time playing it thus far but the reviews saying it's a "masterpiece of RPG", "best game ever" etc make me wonder if they were written by fanboys of the series or company, because to me, it's really just an above average action-adventure game with an open world.
Don't get me wrong, there are some big upsides to this game. From the gorgeous graphics and amazing facial animations to the nice soundtrack, relatively decent combat system and solid story delivery, it is a good experience. While the story itself feels really cheesy (at least in my opinion), CDPR did a good job with delivering that story to the point that it felt actually realistic and emotional.
So overall, it's a solid game, enjoyable, but overrated. As I've said many times before, it's an above average open-world action-adventure game. Not a masterpiece RPG. 3.75/5
