Decent game that could've been timeless

Decent game that could've been timeless if it weren't for downgrade Let me preface this by saying that I'm a HUUUUGE fan of the Witcher. That first game was great, the devs themselves said that when making it they concentrated on pleasing the readers of Sapkowski novels while with the The Witcher 2 they had their newfangled engine and they basically went crazy with it. So not a fan of the The Witcher 2 where the trend of the game's westernization was painfully obvious. When I found out that the Witcher 3 is in the works I was extatic specifically because it was supposed to introduce pretty important characters from the books. And that mindblowing graphics level was just the cherry on top. CDPR were always known for pushing PC hardware to the limit and this game was supposed to be no exception. I won't get into graphics downgrade issue - there's plenty of info on that out there. But let me just say that the level of detail that is shown on the screenshots (taken from "Sword of Destiny" trailer) in the description you will NOT find anywhere in the game - what you will find though is its watered down version (e.g. extremely low draw distance of objects, horrible textures/NPC/foliage pop-in, the abscence of particle effects and tesselation). It's mind boggling that CDPR through its affiliate, GOG, still continues to use the screenshots that are in no way representative of the game's graphics. That is false advertising in its pure form. So don't make the decision of buying the game by looking at the screenshots on GOG or Steam, look at some footage on youtube and just Google the screenshots of the current version. To sum up, it's an OK game with a pretty good plot, characters and gameplay that was otherwise tainted by the visual downgrade. It could've been a timeless masterpiece and it can still be that if CDPR will return the game to at least the "Sword of Destiny" trailer level of detail (2013 VGX quality I think is completely out of realm of possibility).

Only frustration.

I think about this alot. Very controversial. Writers are dishonest this is my point. They remove obvious options to resolve The Dilemma from dialog options because they are too lazy to create solid situations. Not all quests are bad,some of them are interesting! But you can add just three - two steel needles into your breakfast to understand me completely. In one very important (Take me 100+ hours to complete- wow what a Great Game! 100+ hour Interesting quest!) quest they will call you a liar at the end ( and then try to make you feel very sad because of that) - but if you will explore all possibilities in this quest you will understand, that writers remove all options to be honest person! You can't say Truth ( we don't allow you) - thus you are Liar! Perfect logic. Now you will suffer. Real ruthless world of witcher comes. I continued to play and think, that this will be explained in DLC , but unfortunatly nobody cares! In another (big DLC) quest they simply take control of Geralt then make several decisions then return control back - and make me feel responsible for outcome of quest. This is really disrespectful. I took a lot of my time (290 hours) to build strong empathy with characters in game, because I want to understand meaning of this story. Lesser evil, lesser evil - will repeat each quest. And Sauron team will be absolutely black and white antagonist. This is about family? Strange family - nobody cares about you, only talk when and what you must do. In Reality everything can happen and absurd too. Without any reason. May be this game is about reality? But if this is true why I can't react properly? You can't try to shape your destiny, can't be honest with friends. (100 years old sorceresses with psychology of teenagers.) There is no meaning- just exploitation of my empathy. They don't care about well done endings - they don't want to create True stories, only copy pasting style and cheating with player to feel clever. What a shame!

Not sure what all the fuss is about

I played 13 hours and put it away, realizing I enjoyed the in-game card games more than the main plot. A few months after buying this and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, all I can think to write is that KC:D is a better game in every way. Witcher is slightly more fantasy-y, which I like, and slightly more soap opera-y, which I dislike, but overall it plays like an unbalanced, third-person, fantasy Far Cry ("Please, hero, blindly follow your compass to the thing, and then kill and loot the bad guys there"), without Far Cry's memorable characters/voice-acting. The main character is kind of a jerk, and he's not even a likeable jerk. Maybe he appeals to some folks' inner jerks? The equipment system is completely unbalanced, and I was never sure exactly what my money was supposed to be for. I bought some in-game playing cards, and that was fun. The "Witcher senses" toggle is kind of neat, in the way it provides you with extra information on quests that you can't perceive with your eyeballs looking at the computer monitor, but on the whole I prefer the KC:D model of problem solving, where you do actually have to use your brain to resolve quests and your feet to find answers, instead of just turning on your magic vision like in Witcher/Far Cry/Red Dead Redemption. For the record, I wasn't a big fan of Witcher 2, either, but they have such a devoted fanbase that I figured I'd try this one, too. Yeah, no. Just another mediocre game that takes itself way too seriously.

Worth the wait

I was hyped for this since its initial reveal and I can happy confirm that it was worth the long wait. My PC is aging and I don't have the money to soup it up at this point, so I went with the PS4 version, and I can tell you, the game looks stunning even on consoles. The game play is smooth as in Witcher 2 with some tweaks and there's so much exploration and adventuring to be done, it's insane. If you love open map RPGS with tons of quests, you will love this game.
