    The story is decent enough, but TW3 fails on the most important point: It's not fun to play, it's basically an interactive movie, not a game. 2/10.    … Expand

    Game is meh at best for me. I don't see how it's the best RPG of all time.

    Story is probably the only thing The Witcher 3 excels on, although I'm not a huge fan of the story (I stopped playing after 10 hours.) it seems to be reasonably paced similar with Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Side missions are pretty cool too. Nice to do different things except for once and each side mission has different outcomes which is neat.

    But why a 7/10. Because the gameplay is dreadful. This is where The Witcher 3 really loses it's points because the combat system is just bland. Like sure the first couple of encounters I loved killing enemies left and right but then it gets old quick. People have told me to increase the difficulty.... but that doesn't change anything. You are limited to a formula styled combat system which is the BIGGEST reason that makes it bland. It isn't tactic as people say it is... it just feels like I'm playing a easier version of Dark Souls, but dark souls you need to adapt, with The Witcher 3, all you really have to do is put some oils, use the proper sword and witcher signs.To some the combat could be interesting but to me it got old really quick. And you are limited to Geralt, a witcher... you know what that means, you cannot play a character you want to play. They gave you a template and said "Here now you shape your character with what you get." In RPGs you actually get to choose different classes and races and with all these choices available for you to role play off from. You hardly get much to progress in this game, and the game is a role playing game... you get to role play yes but you are really limited compared when playing other roleplaying games.

    Overall Gameplay > Story

    People don't seem to understand nowadays that good stories doesn't make a game good. It's a good gameplay that will prosper overall. If I wanted a good story, I would rather read a book. So I don't see how Witcher 3 can be the best RPG even when classics like Ultima, Planescape Tourment, Baldur's Gate, Early TES exist. Witcher 3 is a good story driven game, easily comparable to current Bioware titles such as Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

    Also to all you hardcore fanboys out there... stop comparing The Witcher 3 with ever damn game that releases. I swear one dude compared The Witcher 3 to Forza Horizon 3. I'm not joking.    … Expand

    This game is not perfect but it sure is close to it since the dozen patches fixing almost everything like in inventory system ect.. Also keep in mind you can mod it changing the gameplay making it harder or similar to Dark souls or making the game's graphics look even better. with that said the vanilla gameplay is simple when you're used to it and will most likely not care since all you'll care about is the story and the stories told in this game are inspired from so many cultures all over the globe and from different religions to create a refreshing experience that even the side of a side quest look like a mainquest and the side quests are better than the mainquests IMO were choices still matters and make you think since its not some black and white generic choices but gray that still make you wonder which of the choices are better with the lesser evil ect..

    And then the two DLC's are two other masterpieces that feel like a new game especially the B&W expansion with new musics, And speaking of music you'll listen to over a hundred original soundtracks both in exploration and combat that are so good you'll remember them for the rest of your life just like you'll remember the breathtaking cities and lands that feel alive with their own stories to tell and change the mood of the game.

    So after doing 5 playthroughs both in vanilla and modded with 3 of this playthroughs on a pirated version i immediately bought the game when i could to play it even more with 408 more hours on steam with probably a total of 1000 hours.
    So i can say this is most certainly the best game ever created and i can't wait for cyberpunk2077.

    En definitiva, el juego perfecto.

Mas enfim, vamos direto ao ponto:

    Para mim esse jogo foi simplesmente o melhor jogo RPG que já joguei na minha vida, um pouco à frente de Skyrim, pois ele reúne todas as características base parar um ótimo RPG, e traz algo que acho que muitos deviam trazer; coisas para não ser enjoativo, principalmente por ser singleplayer, essas coisas seriam, história e personagens cativantes, minigames que poderiam sozinhos já serem um jogo(principalmente Gwent, garanto que será difícil encontra um minigame melhor em outros jogos), além de você poder guiar a história do seu jeito com as suas escolhas, o que dá a sensação de você ser mesmo o Geralt (personagem principal).

    E sobre os Cons do jogo e seus problemas?

    Eu realmente acho que além dos bugs, não são tantos mas muitos incomodam um pouco, como você estar correndo igual um idiota com seu cavalo Carpeado até que bate em uma árvore e cai para um lugar bugado e vazio, mas todo o terreno onde você estava continua lá em cima, aí você precisa retornar no último save, mas não há nenhum bug que chegue a bugar seu jogo pra sempre, é só voltar no save.
    O resto serão de probleminhas que muitas vezes vão do jogador, por exemplo, eu gostaria de poder bater em todo mundo roubar tudo e poder botar fogo nas vilas (não sou nada maudoso xiu aí), mas não é possível, acredito que é porque isso poderia contradizer partes da história, mas enfim de problema mesmo são só esses bugzinhos

    Depois de muita enrolação e blá blá blá da minha convivência com o jogo, vou finalizar minha avaliação:
    Ótimo, vale muito apena comprar e jogar, garanto que você irá se divertir muito! E passar muito nervoso se colocar no Marcha da Morte (Modo Ultra Hard), se você é amante de RPGs ou já jogou os anteriores é OBRIGATÓRIO comprar isso!
    Se você ainda não conhece o mundo dos RPGs singleplayer, vale a pena comprar mesmo assim, mas acho bom pesquisar gameplays antes.    … Expand

    I like that there's constantly options on how to resolve quests, similar to Fallout New Vegas. That's the best part about the game and the place where it excels beyond its peers. Beyond that, there's room for improvement. Namely in the inventory and combat. The inventory is needlessly complicated. I'm not a big fan of crafting/alchemy, or the silly card card in a game. That stuff doesn't appeal to me. It feels like an added bonus feature that doesn't add anything but makes everything actually want to do filled with spam items and NPCs. Would be nice if there was an option to turn it off.

    Combat's not that great. Fight one person/thing is easy enough, but groups of enemies will gang up and cut you down quickly. There's no good way to handle it without resorting to cheap tactics yourself. The lock-on feature is useless as well. The controls are very squishy and imprecise. I've devolved into swearing at my character as he inexplicably turns to fight an enemy when he's supposed to be running away, or when he gets stuck on a fence. A big issue I have is how dark this game is. With my computer, monitor, and in game settings maxed out, I can see anything indoors. Google shows I'm not the only one with the issue. I often find myself navigating indoor areas by the mini-map and witcher sense because everything on screen is just black.

    I hope they keep the decision making aspect of game intact (t would be a fallout 4-level travesty if they got rid of it) and work to improve the gameplay in future installments.    … Expand

    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.
