Witcher 3
Never played a Witcher before and I knew I’d like it so I picked it up in the steam sale and man, I was right. I love it so much.
This might be one of my favorite games. So much replay value if you don't look up spoilers. If you didn't get heart of stone or blood and wine, you REALLY need to. They are like entire games themselves.
I got the whole bundle with all the DLCs so I am excited to get into it. I’m not very far in, only a couple hours but I am enjoying the hell out of it. Almost been late to work because I keep staying up too late playing it lol
Unpopular opinion but I didnt really like this game. My favorite games are souls like and I found I was spending more time walking around and talking than I was killing monsters . Also all of my weapons would break so quick. Maybe I was doing something wrong because everyone seems to really like these games
You really can play the game however you want. There are a bunch of monster contracts you can do if all you want to do is fight monsters, and a bunch of side quests involve fighting more monsters along the way. And some of the story show you some of the worst monsters are actually humans. The durability is a pain, but once you build up some cash, you can buy repair kits that make long travels easier. Otherwise, repair every time you are in a town/city. The game has a lot to it and starts kind of slow but once you get into it (about Crows Perch and the Baron storyline), it's a ton of fun.
While the Witcher 3 is an outstanding game in many aspects, the combat system is often seen as one of its weaknesses by players who come from souls like games. I never played souls likes but I guess they have particularly well made combat systems ...
Yooo I've also been replaying it. I've 100% it already but with the next gen updates there were a good chunk of changes. I've been loving it all over again.
This was my first introduction to the Witcher world. Currently playing this too and I love it. I actually abandoned the game halfway the first time because my computer was overheating. By the time I fixed it, and ~~a couple of~~ many Paradox games later, it was more than year before I went back to the Witcher. Restarted, and holy hell, this game amazes me in how many different paths one can take in this game.
My number one gamer is all time.
I’ve tried two times now to play it through but I always end up quitting the game around 25 hours and I don’t even know why.
I still haven't played it. I felt like I should play the first couple before I play #3, but I started this first one, got distracted, and now it's been years.
Do you feel like you missed out on understanding things by starting with Witcher 3 vs. playing the others first?
I think the story is standalone enough that you don't need to play them, but I actually think the first 2 games are kinda underrated bangers. Super janky and weird but if you can learn to appreciate them for what they are there's a lot to enjoy
Witcher 1 is a solid crpg imo but Witcher 2 felt very much just like a worse version of Witcher 3 when played in a row.
