    Just gave witcher 3 on another chance.

    finished heart of stone but forced myself. It's wasn't awesome. Out of the 10 hours, I maybe enjoyed 90 minutes in total. The begining was really exciting and I liked how you unexpectedly get captured after killing the frog prince in the sewers and are sent to be executed by a cult who think that you killed their messiah. That was the coolest plot.

The begining was really exciting and I liked how you unexpectedly get captured after killing the frog prince in the sewers and are sent to be executed by a cult who think that you killed their messiah. That was the coolest plot. Unfortunately, that's all there was that was.

    The main game: Wild Hunt had nothing interesting except the plot with the King and his wife which I am not going into detail but that too only lasted 2 hours. I played aprox 18 hours after that and it was incredibly boring repetitive: just chase after a girl named ciri from town to town and do mindless fetch quests after fetch quests with some really boring cutscenes which I considered FILLER material. The main story was dragging with nothing really substantial to keep me interested.
    Now that was the "best" part of my review...

    The open world design is incredibly well done and spectacular to look at. But exploring it was ruined due to retarded character control design. I really cannot fathom how retarded the people at CD project red must've been to think that it's okay for character movements to be buggy like this. To this effect, the camera movement and character controls ruined the experience for me. The quests were not fun as others made them out.... it was the same repetitive stuff as any other mmo just with cutscenes in between. I think what makes the game feel incredible is just the beautiful graphics and design of the open world. Unfortunately, exploring it sucked due to the fact that the viewing angle on the character didn't feel immersive for my taste and the moving geralt was annoying. The character makes unecessary movements, awful horse collision detection etc. Most buildings are not explorable and when you do go inside one, it's a PAIN IN THE ASS to explore them because the camera + character movements are horribly done(incredibly frustrating and tiring to move around). Also, there were far too many uncessary loot items everywhere it got confusing but what made it worse was...the inventory management and menu which was really tiring to oversee. Each time I had to look at the map or find an item, it was a lengthy process of reloading the menu, flipping through tabs(input lag on each one).

    It's far from the game everyone made it out to be.

    When it comes to video games; if it isn’t fun for me, then I rate low every time. Because I’ve heard raving reviews from my friends, 5 is the absolute highest score I could give a game that bored me to death.

    The game deserves another chance and I will edit this review if it wins me over on a potential second attempt at TW3.

    Story, Open World, Characters, Side Quests are top.

    But a 5 because of the Stupid Leveling System, why can i wear the New Witcher Netflix armor only when im lvl 40 and have to be in Toussaint??, just Stupid.

    And the Story is way toooo important, to do sidequests etc. you just Feeling like a Idiot. Because 1/3 of all Sidequests are disapearing when you finish the Main Quests.

    Боевка наверное сильнее всего отвращает от игры,2 удара-сильный и мощный. Есть еще заклинания,но они почти никак не добавляют интерес к игре. Вся игра это скучное скитание по миру и убийство мобов(некоторые боссы выполнены хорошо) на пути к следующий катсцене. В игре выполнен хорошо только сюжет,но сам игровой процесс настолько нудный что меня максимум хватило примерно на 11 часов(начинал играть примерно раз 9). Техническое состояние игры для 2015 года я бы сказал постыдное.
    Диалоги не в катсценах это 3 кадра: сам геральт,твой собеседник и общий план лиц этих двух героев.
    Если не играл в хорошие игры подобного плана-как ознакомление с жанром отлично пойдет.
    Но после того же бладборна который вышел в том же году играть в ведьмака очень больно.

    The game has a massive open world but sooo many quests are completely pointless with a lot of bugs which ruin the experience. The level design is just to simple and bad. The combat is clunky and gets old soon. Lastly most of the cut scenes are long, pointless and terrible.

    plastic graphic, framerate unstable that hurt eyes, ebery side and main quest is THE SAME: do something for someone in order to receive something.
    example: ehi do you know what time is it? yes kill the ogre of the forest and I will tell you.

    One of the worst RPG games because of plain MC, boring fantasy setting and awful plot. One of the worst slashers because of primitive fighting system. One of the worst openworld games because there are nothing to do and everything is the same. One of the worst adventure games because of "slice of live" dialogues and no epic.

    Who's everyone rating this game like it's a masterpiece?

    To me it's mediocre. It has its peaks. Sometimes it's enjoyable. But as others have said it has too many poor design choices to be good or above that. There's nothing special here. Story is just cliché medieval fantasy with boring conversations adding nothing to the main plot. Combat is mostly unbalanced. Enemies are either too easy or suicide level challenging. It's painfully obvious how the developers made soldiers almost impossible to kill to force people into fighting monsters, so reviews wouldn't say "It's like Assassin's Creed."
    Mission payouts are close to 0. What you're gonna do with 50 Coins? Might as well loot everything and sell that for better profit. Perhaps you earn more later. I might figure that out some day.

    There's alot potential here. The design of the world is impressively detailed (especially rural locations), but that's pretty much the only impressive aspect.

    Back to my question. Who's everyone rating this game like it's a masterpiece?
    I know who. It's kids who aren't old enough to know the true masterpieces of gaming, and those who love it just because of the genre of setting and/or gameplay.
    To me it's nowhere close masterpieces such as BO3.

    I mean... masterpieces such as MGS3.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rate the game a 4.5/10. This game is the worst of the Witcher series. The graphics, are outstanding, but besides that, this feels like an assassins creed game. It has been done before... The story could of been of been outstanding, but was just average. 'Whoreson Jnr' and the 'Baron's wife' were atrocious stories, and Roach (The Horse) and Crossbow, cheapened Geralt's image. Finally, what is with beards, for game heroes? Do you play as an old man? Come on, this game has its moments, but was no where near as good as the hype. Witcher 2 is much better, just not bigger! Expand

    I thought the game was beautiful, but there was something about it that just didn't do it for me.
    While the game has set the standard in play and beautiful background, with deep sea diving, gorgeous detail, and beautiful scenery, the storyline itself was a little off. Every one of the characters seem a little cold. Yennifer, Triss, etc. The only warmth came from Ciri and then not really.

    I have a ton of problems with this game, first of its just not fun to play. You spend the entire game chasing after some chick who ultimately is more interesting then the main character and makes me wish i could play as her thru the whole game instead.

    the combat is garbage with two different "dodges" one thats makes you jump too far leaving you to have to roll again to get back to being able to hit them and some kind of side step thing that is way to short and useless to the point were you might as well just roll like a retard.
    you are also suppose to change between light and heavy attacks, both of them make the main character look like a ballerina in armor swinging around and spinning all over the place. So after two hours when Gerald is done spinning around to get his sword to connect to an enemy, the enemies are just fancy looking sponges who takes way to much damage. So spamming the heavy attack is just as good as anything else.

    the map is way to big for its own good, with next to nothing to do and uninspired and boring enemy models. you are suppose to use your horse to get around the map, and you can put the horse on autopilot but the autopilot works just as well as letting jesus take the wheel when driving up a mountain.
    The horse tries its damnest to stick to the roade but keep crashing into things and making you stop, go backwards and try to continue on the roade.

    I really tried to care about the characters, and get into the world with the quests but the quests usually as exciting as watching paint dry. I completely gave up at the akward werewolf mission were the poor voice actor had to snarl and grunt as if he had too much mucus in his throat. At that point i gave up and turned off the game.

    at the end of it all i sold the game and deleted it from the ps4. I never wanna play it again and i have warned any friend of mine that want to play the game.

    I may be missing something here, but I have been totally unable to get behind this game, despite 20+ hours of trying.

I'm wracking my brains to uncover why I cannot enjoy it, and it is difficult to put into words. The graphics (especially light effects and weather cycles) are really nice, and the Eastern Europe-inspired countryside is wonderfully realised. There is a nice atmosphere about the game and when you reach the second 'continent' it truly opens up. The dialogue choices are staggering and expansive for sure. The effort that has went into making this game is so evident throughout but unfortunately, for me, there are too many key flaws that mar the whole experience for me and have actually made me give up playing.

    The combat is awful, there are no two ways about it. Controls (both in and outside of battles...horse riding is a nightmare) are sluggish. Options for attacking are quick or hard strike, or dodge pretty much. 3 out of the 5 signs (spells) effectively do the same thing (stun the enemy). The camera and screen placement causes enemies to linger unseen ready to pounce on your preoccupied back. You can increase your damage output with potions and oils. And this is pretty much when the combat ends. The skills you can choose upon levelling up have little to no impact on the game, unlike similar lightly RPG titles like Fallout of Bioshock. The absence of true RPG elements here is probably what disappointed me most, yet the game feigns these properties often. Levelling up is almost entirely achieved via quest completion. The minimal amount of XP gained from killing enemies is baffling to me and one of the system's biggest flaws. And in the game's more difficult moments, there is no respite for trying to better yourself (like the Souls series or other traditional RPGs) - losing is often not your own fault but one of the many system flaws'.

    The story and characters are fine, but the endless fetch quest plot was already grating on me by the 20 hour mark. A single quest stretches on for hours with literally the same tasks repeatedly in succession. I failed tasks through absolutely no fault of my own (people dying in other locations). There is little motivation to complete anything, and when you do your rewards are meager. This all adds up to giving me little desire to progress in the game.

    This may be the game for many people out there (evidently), but I cannot play it any longer on account of the above issues. I recognise its merits as a well-presented, expansive and busy medieval world with loads to do and see. But being marketed as an action RPG, I expected these elements to be strongest when they are in fact the contrary. I can't get over the lack of depth in the game's battle and growth systems. I completely appreciate that the depth lies in the story/quest/dialogue-focused branching narrative, but this is not sufficient for a title in this genre. I'm maybe misinterpreting what the game's truly all about, but I thought this after the first few hours, after 10 hours, after 15 hours. It would be a waste of time continuing to play something that I don't enjoy, but this is not to say the game is rubbish. I just cannot see by its flaws giving their importance to me, and wish everyone playing it the best of experiences. The Witcher 3 is just not for me.

    Walking, running, riding horse is a pain. Geralt seem to go his own way at times when you dont walk in a straight line. idle controls are too sharp. No lag (which it should have had) and completely back to 1990´s style. Ugh.
    Riding your horse (named Roach, short for cockroach in real life) in the wild is painful in places where there is small obstacles. Roach is pretty dumb, instead of just do a small jump over it, he decides instead to come to a complete halt or run and go nowhere because of an invisible wall. And you bump into those, small obstacles or a tiny ledge keeps you walking without passing it.

    Combat was already outdated when the game was released. A very bareboned system. Hack, slash, dodge and hope for the best. Fighting groups is hopeless, they all come at you and you keep dodging until you find an opening. Devoid of choices and tactics, the combat is completely one-dimensional and dull / frustrating.

    Story wise its okay. Geralt is your usual tough guy. But overall a boring guy.
    Best and most interesting character is Ciri.
    During your playtrough there is too many characters you bump into, but neither has any develpment or are someone you care for.
    Inventory, menu are too large, clunky and messy with so much you do not need to care for.

    CPR did better story wise with Cyberpunk, but the game was a mess, and this is not unique either when you favour in the bugs. They are there. plenty-full.

    The TV-Show is a much better view. Much better character development and story. And you are much better off watching that than playing this mediocre game.

    CD Project Red along side Sucker Punch is one of the most overrated game developers out there. They have yet to impress me with a good title that gives a complete compelling package.

Apart from the inevitable glitching the f out - as with most games this size - the story-lines are annoyingly long and leave you no freedom to leave or load a previous save. There are a lot of points in which if you proceed, you will probably fail a secondary quest you have yet to complete. You'll be pressing the skip button for upwards of 5 minutes just to get through the excruciatingly long dialogue just so you can load back to a previous save point and complete the quests you missed. Then you have to sit through the tedious story line that plays between loads and when you switch to different maps in the game - probably in place because the load times take for-fecking-ever. Then there are times where you can't follow a quest line how you would prefer because the game makes it impossible to finish a story with a character once youve gone too far. Essentially, it forces you to take your sweet time going through the story lines in the game or else risk failing quests, which to my mind is incredibly frustrating.

    Overall, great game, but holy hell it is a very frustrating game. You need the patience of a saint in order to fully enjoy playing the game.

    * The movement controls are bad.
    Geralt can not turn for anything. Neither can Roach for that matter. This has created a number of scenarios when I just die, because not only is turning a huge pain, but so is fall damage. How does fall damage work? You either die, have one hit of health left, or no damage. I have fallen from a cliff mouth and died while running from enemies.

    * The glitches.
    The glitches take the cake for what make this a disastrous playing experience. We have basic bugs, like flocks of birds flying away in a big cluster ball, or NPCs Ubisofting through the floor, ot even the game screaming at me in bright colors. Those are okay. Those are fine.

    We also have the glitches that make you reload or hop a cliff to undo. A good example is one of the locked buildings in Skellige: I came across it while exploring and fell through the wall and into tje building, and since I wasn't to the quest it was involved in, I couldn't get out. I have also fallen into knee-high puddles with no way to get out.

    * The combat is boring.
    The Witcher 3 is a hack-and-slash RPG. You have three attack skills: Sword, crossbow, Igni sign. It gets pretty easy unless you crank the difficulty, amd even then it's a game of rolling until you win.

    Overall, this game was not worth the amount of time I put into it, and I feel it was a major step down from The Witcher 2.

    The conclusion of Geralt’s game saga couldn’t be better. The large open world, great storytelling and dozens of hours of pure fun – this game is an absolute must for every RPG fan. [Issue#253]

    This truly outstanding game raises the bar to new heights that will be extremely hard to reach for BioWare, Bethesda and any other developer. [07/2015, p.38]

    The Witcher 3's subject matter, its almost defiant doubling down on its treatment of women as titillating props for Geralt and the player, even as it tries to flesh out more female leads, is its most disappointing aspect. This constant presence weighs down what would otherwise be an excellent bit of closure for Geralt's video game saga — which isn't helped by the control issues that often detract from sequences meant to break up open-world monotony.
