Andrew 4757 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 This is why I love The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It is crass in some places and overreaching in others, but despite its grandeur and its fantastical setting, it is a game made by, for and about human beings. It's lewd and perverse and poetic and hot-blooded. It's huge yet crafted; its systems are purposeful and it doesn't have a whiff of design by committee. It will last you months, yet not waste your time. Above all, it has a vivid, enduring personality, something that is exceedingly rare among its breed of mega-budget open-world epics (and that will probably be rarer still once Hideo Kojima and Konami part ways later this year). For my money, it's the greatest role-playing game in years. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-05-18-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-review Anyone playing or planning to?I've um'd and ah'd over it as I hated the second (voice acting was awful and jarring, can't spend 100 hours or whatever it claimed to be in a game like that) but caved due to my lack of willpower/any other games at the minute.Enjoying it mostly but the combat (on consoles at least) is a bit shit. Still gets a recommendation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4757 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Utterly addicted to this. Had a few late nights already I've got thereabouts over the weekend, planning to set aside any heavy story and go gear hunting tonight as I've some decent stuff at the moment but my armor looks awful (I look like a bloody court jester!)

acrossthepond 877 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Still have Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, AC3 and AC4 to finish before a new game. Haven't played 1 or 2. Is it like Dragon Age or more like Skyrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4757 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Err kinda both I guess. It's darker than either, game of thronesy in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 He keeps taking an extra couple of steps after you've let go of the analog stick which is good for running straight into the radgie you're meant to chin. The griffin boss fight was turbo shit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I will say that the writing, open world, graphics and the way the quests are put together and generally handled is excellent. There's a load of content to be seen too and it's an impressive technical achievement. But if you're asking me to stick with the clunky controls until I just get used to it, I'm not sure I'm that interested in the general setting to actually continue on. I don't actually feel in control of my character and I'm not sure if that'll get better as it goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4757 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 The combats its weak spot, no question, I've got used to moving him now to the point it's not a problem, he has momentum so letting go of the stick doesn't just stop him dead. It's far from perfect but it's still very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'll stick with it. Need to get in the habit of saving manually though since I got chinned before and now I have to gather up more FUCKING herbs for a sidequest. I've just stopped running all together if I'm within 100 yards of an enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 On subject, the XP glitch is pretty annoying. Wish they'd just do a hotfix and have it rushed through certification, but then the fix might affect other fixes that are coming with the next patch...

What is the xp glitch, given my level and where I am in the story and all that I seem to be bang on track so I don't think I've encountered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
