    Her yan gârevin âzgün olması ve âzenle yapılmış olması hikaye ârgüsü ve bunun açılması. Dânemine gâre ve hala teknik/grafik olarak güncelliğini koruması ile Witcher 3 iyi bir oyun. DLC'leri ise başarılı ve ayrı standalone oyun olabilecek kadar iyi.

    Story:

    The main quest of rescuing Ciri could be seen as a missed opportunity for an open world game. Wow, Geralt, look at this expansive and breathtaking map... BUT HURRY, THEY ARE ABOUT TO KILL HER! But take it easy... why not take a break and play some cards? Why not visit the tavern, share stories, and enjoy the world around you? - BUT HURRY, THEY ARE ABOUT TO KILL HER!
    Story:

    The main quest of rescuing Ciri could be seen as a missed opportunity for an open world game.

    Wow, Geralt, look at this expansive and breathtaking map... BUT HURRY, THEY ARE ABOUT TO KILL HER!

    But take it easy... why not take a break and play some cards? Why not visit the tavern, share stories, and enjoy the world around you? - BUT HURRY, THEY ARE ABOUT TO KILL HER!

    Protagonist:

    Geralt is portrayed as an exceptionally skilled and cool character. Geralt is cool... I wonder if maybe a bit too much.

    It's common in most role-playing or open world games to start as a nobody and gradually become someone, building and defining your character along the way. This can be a highly satisfying experience. When you envision how you will design and develop your character, and finally witness their full growth, it feels amazing. It reflects all the hours and effort you've invested in the game. However, in The Witcher 3, you begin as Geralt at level 1 with 5 spells and 2 swords, and after countless hours, you end up as Geralt at level 35 with 5 spells and 2 swords. The only difference is that, mysteriously, the latter feels ineffective and unable to face any challenges, despite being Geralt of Rivia, the legendary witcher with years of experience. For instance, I can easily defeat a griffin without any issues, but then I enter an area where I supposedly shouldn't be, and a dwarf bandit kills me. At a certain point, you question whether the leveling system was necessary in this game, if it was included simply because other games have it, and if it truly aligns with what a witcher is supposed to do. If perhaps they should have focused on depth in other aspects of the game instead.

    Inventory and Rewards:

    I'll be clear: On which planet, in which corner of the known universe, is the inventory system in this game considered acceptable? How many crafting materials does Geralt carry? I often find myself not knowing what half of the items I take are for. Does the game genuinely expect me to have the energy to read and learn the purpose of each item? Instead of being a game with 5 significant options, it presents us 100, and in the end, I find myself performing the same actions in every battle. As for the open world... Rather than exploring by gazing at the horizon, I'm constantly guided by a minimap with markers indicating where to go.

Hell no, it's full of euro-jank and character movement and animations are nowhere near the level of Red Dead Redemption, but there's a level of agency to be found in this game that existed nowhere else at the time. Combat is incredibly "of the time" consisting of hit, roll, and dodge mechanics reminiscent of Assassin's Creed. This system leaves so much to be desired considering the implementation of potions and concoctions that were barely utilized, even on the Blood and Broken Bones difficulty. The graphics are also nothing to sneeze at. Released in 2015, this game still gives more graphically intense titles a run for their money. Add that to an open world, brilliant quest design, and characters with multiple levels of depth to them and you've gotten yourself a title that punches way above what was expected of it, judging by the previous. Side quests also play a large role in The Witcher 3, which is great because side quests are where this game shines. Due to multiple choices which lead to multiple outcomes, each playthrough of The Witcher 3 is different. Some side quests even surpass those that are essential to the main story with their intricacies and decisions driven pathways. Ultimately The Witcher 3 is a game to own, or at least a game to experience. The player driven choice aspect is enough to entice the curiosity of many a gamer. Is it as good as most publications would leave you to believe? No, not at all. But it is a game worth getting lost in. A game you'll play and lose track of time with. Even a title you'll find yourself returning to year after year because of the quality that lies underneath it's many flaws. Expand

    I wish I could lose my memory and play this game again and finish it. In a word, a unique experience. I promised myself that one day I will play this game on the highest settings, I hope I can keep my promise.

    The Witcher 3 was barely out before being hyped as the absolute pinnacle of RPG-gaming, a must play for everyone & you needn’t bother playing Witcher 1 or 2 before playing 3. Naturally it gets picked as 2015’s GOTY. Who knew it was possible to win more than 800 awards for a video game?

Naturally it gets picked as 2015’s GOTY. Who knew it was possible to win more than 800 awards for a video game? Those who say these things clearly haven’t played many video games, not to mention RPGs, let alone Witcher 1&2, which are both far better than Witcher 3

    Its biggest sin is being an open-world game. They did this to compete with games like Dragon Age: Inquisition (2014’s GOTY) & Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (2011’s GOTY). Too much time was spent on building this massive world that not much thought was given on how they would fill it. It was empty & incredibly tedious to trek across the map between missions. You’ve done wrong when the player chooses to fast travel everywhere rather than go on foot. You’re also forced to find a sign post in order to fast travel, you can’t just do it from the map. An open world usually means cutting meaningful quests & characters, which Witcher 3 did in spades; the biggest being no Scoia’tael/Iorveth. In addition, the AI chatter was enough to make me go mad; the same lines repeated over & over w/ the same voices. I can say them in my sleep. The cutscenes were supposed to be Dandelion but for some reason aren’t done by his voice actor, the guy doesn’t even sound close.

    The combat is atrocious, when you feel that the better option is to hack, slash & roll like a ballerina rather than use tactics because the enemies aren’t known for their brains. The use of potions/oils was practically nonexistent until halfway through because you don’t get the crafting diagrams & by then you’ve learned to cope w/o so you don’t even remember that you can now use them. Meditation is not to make potions but to reload your stock using alcohol in your inventory. Tutorials would have been immensely helpful rather than a block of text you’ll never remember. Negotiation is senseless, β€œA bit high… We’re almost there.” The upgrade system is a complete joke. What’s the point in investing in skills when you can only use a few? Getting to level 30 you can use 12 skills and yet I had many more! You literally need to use a slot in order to have food/drink heal you over time! What? That was just a given in the other games.

    The story absolutely requires you to have not only played the first 2 games but that you’ve read the books as well. I can’t imagine what anyone could have gotten out of this game otherwise. But even though I had the knowledge of the whole story, I felt this game’s story was super weak. They were trying to tell too much & pull in the worst parts of Sapkowski’s books. The first 2 games felt like CDPR was adding to the story of The Witcher and telling their own tale, they weren’t just making the books a game, rather they continued Geralt’s tale a few years after the books. But with this game, it felt the complete opposite. They were now pulling everything they could from the last 2 books (which were awful) & pulling phrases & jokes from every form of entertainment in the real world. It seriously hurt the story. The idea of Ciri traveling between worlds, including our own is just stupid, they could have rewritten something so much better. Instead what was once a dark fantasy is now science fiction. It was very obvious that they had a completely different writer this time around.

    Despite calling itself an RPG, there were no significant choices in this game. Sure there were 3 different endings for Ciri’s fate but as to how those endings were decided, it was a couple small things in conversations rather than actual decisions. It really makes you feel good when you read the wiki and see β€˜You can choose whatever you want here, it makes no difference to the story.’ When a choice cutscene would randomly pop up, it felt more like a whoops we forgot to give this meaning so here’s a choice that sucks either way.

    The game is at 4.02 & still buggy. The choice scenes are at a far lower volume than the rest of the game, it’s a miracle if you can hear them w/o subsequently blowing your eardrums out when it switches back to the actual game. There is so much clipping, things disappearing from NPC’s hands or hovering in front of them, animals including Roach would appear in the middle of a conversation with an NPC, etc. What exactly did they fix?

    Now how can we talk about Witcher 3 w/o mentioning the card game Gwent? What a truly horrendous, time-wasting addition. It was clearly there to pad out the game time. You’re forced into your first game to β€˜learn’ the directions & I came away no wiser as how to play. All Gwent did was make me miss dice poker.

    In the main game alone, I completed 141 quests in 104.8 hours. I would only recommend for the serious Witcher fan b/c all I can say is thank the Eternal Fire I’m done, I’m headed back to Witcher 1&2

    Years later, I have to admit that the game is not that good. I don't think I want to go back there again. The main storyline is very mediocre. The game would be better if we as Geralt were just doing side quests. The open world didn't impress me either if you compare it to the same RDR2 it's heaven and earth.

    Not recommended for those who dislike games where combat is not fun.
    It is not recommended for those who do not like motion or uncomfortable controls.

    Other than that, the other parts are good. The story is good and the details of the quests are alive.

    Story is funny
    Graphics are incredible
    Quests are creating great atmosphere

    But at the same time, game is VEEERY boring. It is just about doing all the same stuff over and over, until the end... plus for "no save during combat" thingy and the fact i was actually stuck in this game. I like tricky games!

It is at best a slightly above average game and that's it, just like cyberpunk (after like 1.5 years of beta testing). You play threw it and then you think "Oh, that was pretty average" and then you go on and do something else. Expand

    The game deserves the attention for the vast open world that the game offers you to explore .

    The story is written well and characters are well fleshed out . The graphics are great and soundtrack is immersive . There are so many ways to praise this game . But enough of that as I'm sure you can find more of that by other reviewers . This game by definition is still
    The game deserves the attention for the vast open world that the game offers you to explore .

    The story is written well and characters are well fleshed out .

    The graphics are great and soundtrack is immersive .

    There are so many ways to praise this game .

    But enough of that as I'm sure you can find more of that by other reviewers .

    This game by definition is still 'overated.'

    People are too scared to vocalize that this game has its issues in fear of being downvoted or attacked by fans of this game series .

    Truth is , the combat is lacking .

    You dodge back and strike . You do this again and again .

    Combat becomes boring and a chore .

    The story as described above is well written no doubt but it lacks in good pacing .

    The story fails in pacing as you are bombarded with story after story without having time to digest the stories . It makes the stories unmemorable .

    The story starts off very strong as it hypes you up for an epic journey to find Ciri .

    But it just dissolves into nothing but unnecessarily long talks .

    Yes , the talking in this game is long but the talks aren't very interesting . That is the problem .

    Not going to sugar coat it . Romance in the game is for horny men and is cheap perfume . Not like that is 'bad,' but it somewhat gets old after a while . It is like real life marriage almost . Pretty accurate as some may say .

    The villains in Witcher 3 is terribly clichΓ© . They are the stereotypical bad guys with bulky armor . They aren't that interesting as a whole . There are some villans that are intriguing no doubt though .
    They are so forgettable in general .

    Yes this game is based on a series of books written by Andrzej Sapkowski so CDPR can't do much about the villans other than change the way they are visually portrayed in the game .

    Witcher 3 should have not won GOTY . Games like MGSV should have won as MGSV actually had an epic story and amazing gameplay . Though MGSV comes with its flaws it still does the job better at least in gameplay where Witcher 3 lacks heavily .

    The game is overated and overhyped beyond understand but it indeed deserves the attention but only a fraction of it .

    This is why this review is a mixed score .

    Good game story-wise, but gameplay is actual garbage. I completed every single quest in starting location and still only level 3. Can't do anything in next location, Vizima is supposed to be for level 5, but 2nd quest already level 9 enemies, which I can't kill... I use counter like potions and right sword... I improved everything I could, but I had barely 300 crowns at that point...Good game story-wise, but gameplay is actual garbage.

It is AC bs design and grind fest, side quests mostly uninteresting...

    Combat system:
    - only items matters skill is irrelevant
    - when you attack at the same time, you get damage and you can't parry...
    - parry gets you stunned useless
    - you can evade attacks, but again if you attack at the same time there is nothing you can do and you get damage for free

    Also some enemies don't show in bestiary...

    I don't know why I couldn't get into this game. I tried countless times to see the epic greatness of the game from effusive praise and glowing reviews all over the place. Not to say that it is a bad game, just doesn't feel as perfect as ppl make it to be.

    The open world is in the UbiSoft school of Design, filled with world breaking jank that could srsly ruin some1's immersion. Its like they tried to mix AC and Skyrim in moderate doses, but still failed to find a great balance. Combat feels like its out of a 2005 game. There's still that horse running into a wall thingy there. Really bad.
    The story is pretty good though, with some really well written side quests. This is mainly what stands out for the game. There are a ton of quests to undertake and delve deeper into the lore of the world. This is mainly where the game shines.
    Maybe its just that I played RDR2 b4 this, character movement here feels clunky and unnatural and horse riding here is terrible compared to it. If I played this b4 rdr2 I would probably be acclaiming it like everyone else.
    My overall score would be arnd 5.5, but since meta doesn't do half reviews 6'll HV to do.

    this is possibly the most overrated game EVER. let me tell you what i like about the game. the writing the villans the endings and the dlc are are mostly great thats what i like. now the bad : the ai sucks. really god damn bad, they stand still and let you kill them.the combat is repetitive and boring. the enemy's are just bullet sponges and reskins. the open world is basicly empty.

    An obvious pastiche of Assassin's Creed, Skyrim, and the Far Cry games - and is reaching to achieve the quality of any of them.

The story is bombastic open-ended and hole-ridden nonsense - even as a fantasy title - but has loads of sex and cynicism mixed in which impresses people, I guess? If you're thinking this game is going to be a big step up from Witcher 2, you're going to be disappointed. Much of the amateurish jank is still here. Many of the cinematic cutscenes are impressive, really nice music, and some solid sidequests with good variety, but this is really just a 6/10 game with high-ish production values. Expand

    Witcher 3 is often praised for it's plot and how player choice impacts it, yet I don't feel like this praise is earned. It has mostly good dialog, interesting and charismatic characters (both leads and minor ones), somewhat effective set-pieces, but the story itself (except for the Velen chapter, which is the only one everyone tends to bring up) is kinda lacklustre.

It has mostly good dialog, interesting and charismatic characters (both leads and minor ones), somewhat effective set-pieces, but the story itself (except for the Velen chapter, which is the only one everyone tends to bring up) is kinda lacklustre. As soon as you get to Novigrad, plot treads start abruptly appearing only to lead pretty much nowhere and leave no real consequence (witch hunts, Radovid, gangs), pacing is off and characters start to crack up with small inconsistencies (mainly, Dandelion). These issues will be alleviated with Skellige's focused side plot and soft mental reset granted by the new map, but after Battle at Kaer Morhen they kick back in like an obstinate mule with a newfound force of rushing to conclude broad plot threads that shouldn't've been there in the first place. Sprinkled with some awful resolutions of essential story arks (Dijkstra, Avallac'h) and absolutely pathetic main villain - you got a really, really mixed bag of a plot, which is mostly remembered well for the Velen chapter everyone was so blow away by.

    My other criticisms of Witcher 3 are much less controversial: combat is too basic for such a long game, character progression inclines to highly specialise in a few from already not that many options, and enemies rarely require you to step out of that chosen specialisation. Loot system is garbage (literally). Alchemy is a double edged sword: I really appreciate that consumables replenish (it's one of the best design choices in the game), but being able to pop a decoctions whenever you want really takes away from the planning gameplay, while knowing his enemy and preparing accordingly should be one of the key witcher's abilities. And the worst offender is the dumbed down, streamlined and formulaic, almost automatic in nature gameplay loop that became pure torture towards last ten ours of my playthrough. Witcher Sense is one of the most overused and non-engaging mechanics I've ever encountered in a videogame.

    None of what I just said renders the game unplayable or even not fun, it's just really uninspired, mediocre and lacks coherent brave vision.

    The real beauty of Witcher 3, what I consider the reason people fell in love with this game, the strength of CDPR that came to be the highlight even in the disastrous Cyberpunk 2077, is the world and atmosphere. Novigrad is the best videogame city I've ever been to, you won't find more lifelike countryside than White Orchard, everything in this game looks stylish, feels evocative, sounds enthralling and plays damn immersively, even with all the grudges I hold agains it. I might not had the best gaming experience, but it was a great time - time, spent as Geralt of Rivia in wondrous, magical and dangerous lands.

    To sum it all up, Witcher 3 is a mediocre open world action RPG, that stole the industry spotlight for all the wrong reasons, but you won't regret loosing yourself in it for a hundred hours.

    The Witcher 3 says no to all of this - it's a great game with a fully realized setting, it's a joy to play, the business model behind it treats its customers like human beings, and it delivers a story that finally hits the tone of the books.

    Probably the best open-world RPG ever made, but it still falls prey to some of the genre's worst traps.

    I've made it pretty clear that it's hardly a flawless game, but that doesn't change the fact that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is something pretty bloody special and you should absolutely play it.
