The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Next-Gen Review

[@UNCAGED-MONSTA]

I’ve been playing this game since 2015. And as someone who has put in well over 500 hours and beat the game literally 3-4 times I can say EVERYTHING they added into this game was everything this game needed to truly be a masterpiece.

If you haven’t done the two DLCs that were released, they might be even better than the base game

[@esotericjahanism5251]

@@svfutbol20 yeah heart of stone was incredibly well done I love how they really fleshed out the Oxenfurt and Redania areas of the map since the base game left them feeling a bit empty and we passed over them so quickly as well as being totally over shadowed by Novigrad. Blood and wine is great too if you look at it as a standalone feature but there are much less interactions with the main story than heart of stone. Dialogue between characters assumes you have completed the base game main quest even if you haven't though the game allows you to travel to Toussaint after rescuing Dandelion. Heart of stone is available to start as soon as you get to velen and the events wind in with the dialogue in the main quest. It's a nice set of details, while it's nice to be able to go to Toussaint early and grab all the high lvl gear they really should have put in more details that interact with the main story. Or at least changed the dialogue a bit so you aren't telling character you've found ciri already when you haven't

[@shanew7361]

Did you buy the game? I'm debating on getting it on sale now. I'm afraid of it getting monotonous and just a farming and grinding game with no end to the game, just a gear chase. I quit Warcraft because of the aimlessly farming and grinding and cash to play. The game got old and felt like a constant grind and farm machine. I do love God of War Ragnarok, though.

I was never attracted by the game when seeing it’s trailers and I thought it was so overhyped! I gave it a try a few days ago and at the beginning it was meh!!! Then, like almost an hour later I was getting used to it and now I understand why it’s so beloved by people. It’s a freaking masterpiece and the way it keeps u in level is amazingly brilliant, cause you can’t go and get so overpowered finding weapons and fighting a lot to then become like a beast!!! The game holds u back and inspire you to explore and to do all quests that’s are engaging!!! I’m addicted and there’s a lot of things to do in the game. I’m getting use to alchemy system and how magic works, as doing contracts to make a little money which is brilliant and is not like to get rich fast and buy what u want to be greedy!!! The game is a jewel!!! Hope the combat keeps evolving during the play through and new skills get unlocked.

What do you think has changed which means you enjoy it more now? I also didn’t enjoy the original very much, despite how many hours I put into it at release

[@rap_leg3nd779]

@drew zeller yeah bro movement and camera are incredibly important to the overall feel and immersion of a game. And I noticed the improvements instantly, which had me scratching my head of how the game played before so I switched the option back to standard for movement and yeah it's SO MUCH BETTER now. Graphics look 👌 so good running at a steady 60fps on PS5 Combat is great quick button select for abilities has improved combat flow 👌 Also, I can now increase text size, might seem like a small detail but for me it's such a gripe when the text size is too small & now that can be modified! If you own the game the update is free you have to love that, they could have easily charged for this like everyone else does. ✌️

I disagree on preferring Performance Mode. It goes well beyond just resolution, and one of the few games I’ve noticed such a significant difference, both indoors and outdoors, between two modes like this. Even outdoors it’s really noticable a lot of the time. I vastly prefer 60 most of the time, but this is one where I will deal with 30 fps for the upgraded visuals. Also, the game was already around 1800p 60 on current gen consoles prior to the update. So it’s really the RT mode that provides the most upgraded experience overall. But, glad to see both options available to players.

[@-NoneOfYourBusiness]

No game had my blood pumping as fast as The Witcher 3 during the big moments like the Battle of Kaer Morhen. No game ever did that. It is more than a game. Its even better than most adventure movies. I even enjoyed the "Fetch Quest" stuff since the writers did everything they could to find actually very funny and original twists to the Fetch (like these guys at the Isle Of Mist) (I mean, come on I laughed my @ss off). This game had me yelling, laughing and I even cried at one point. Or two. This 2022 NextGen is absolutely fantastic. I got a feeling that the future games won't be as good as this one is for several reasons. Thank You, CD Projekt.

Kinda sad that I can't use my save file from my ps4 for the update on my ps5 because I had the vanilla version (even though i also bought the season pass and all DLC which cost more than what came a few years later with the goty edition) and the cross progression only works on the GOTY editions. I still got the free update but I have to start from scratch. I'm not really willing to let my 300+ hour save file and spend more time doing the same stuff again even with the upgrade. Still grateful for CDPR for doing this, since they really didn't have to but I just wished that those that got the vanilla versions could also share in the fun of continuing the journey.

[@photonboy999]

*GTX1080 and next-gen comment* DX12 is currently stuttering too much. So switch to DX11 for now until it's patched (so no FSR2/DLSS for now). If you have a Freesync/GSync screen then maybe the stutters are less noticeable. I can't test that (but considering the stutters are quite sudden I doubt a VRR monitor would really help much). For a normal 60Hz monitor I suggest enabling VSYNC and then run or gallop around a town etc and adjust the visual settings to the max you can get with stutters not happening much. Setting to HIGH for a 1440p monitor created a mostly solid 60FPS (VSYNC) experience. I can't use ray-tracing, but switching to Ultra really doesn't look that much different to me. So the game is VERY playable and looks great right now. Again, mostly a stutter (and texture pop-in which may be related) issue.

[@BruceRichwineJr]

I’m not willing to give up performance for Raytracing. Especially in this game when switching between the two modes the quality setting just seems to be a headache waiting to happen.

[@BamMatt19]

They did not fix the Wolf Armor Scav quest, which is disappointing. It was clearly an oversight in the original game , introducing an armor set that starts at level 14 and making it unobtainable until you get to Kaer Morhen and that oversight is still in the game despite an additional QA pass. In the interview CDPR also specifically fixed this quest, but I guess they meant a bug and not the actual acquisition of the armor. I guess I have to go back to the good ol console commands to add these lvl 14 diagrams to my inventory again, otherwise I won't be able to use this armor until I'm 30 in Kaer Morhen and then I have to craft, and upgrade 2-3 times just so the set is usable.

[@paulwkinson566]

For me the biggest upgrade would of been restoring the original e3 colour, as I hate the muted oranges greens and brown , that's the main thing I was hoping for in this update, but its still no where near as pleasant looking ad the e3 version , would of been better if the just gave us the ability to use pcmods like skyrim did.

[@MrMightyZ]

The biggest difference between the game and the TV show for me is that the game literally has a world. Not sets, not other landscapes standing in for story locations. The map is actually there, ready to be beautifully redendered for you at all times. I think the TV show was meaty and excellent but it can't compete with that aspect of the game.

[@gecho8848]

If you are planning on playing this on PC you should wait. Don't get me wrong there are great improvements both to gameplay and to visuals plus the extra content. And all for free! But you likely won't be able to run it. Even when turning off the new settings the game runs significantly worse on PC than it used to. Wait for updates. Hard to be annoyed at a free update, but understandable to be annoyed that even playing on the same settings as I used to is now a significantly worse experience.

[@ernestisom5878]

Wish they'd change the map and quest system plus the menu because it really takes away from the immersion. My vision is always focused on these things instead of the beautiful environments. Sure you can turn them off but the quests are to specific where you'd wonder around forever before finding where you need to be to complete them. Using the wind to guide you like in ghost tsutsushima I think would work really well in the witcher. Quick menus that adjusted potions and oils to the opponent your fighting would be nice to instead of scrolling through them all.

I usually do 2 play throughs every year, I skipped last year and started fresh again for my 9th play through. I forgot how well thought out this game is. Never a dull moment, the graphics upgrade is perfect. My PC hates it but ultra+ settings all maxed out getting 60fps. Love it!

[@waxdoe115]

Did you play cyberpunk yet?

[@Brabusaur]

I'm afraid of downloading the update, because I don't wannna delete and/or check if the tousand of mods, that I have still work or not.

[@phillydavison]

Hope they bring back the tree sway maybe not as crazy as before but it feels a bit dead now when there is a storm.

[@Psylonz]

Best game I’ve ever played. Nothing has topped it since 2015. Red dead 2 really close.

[@rachel2880]

Agreed 💯

[@evanpaluch6190]

TW3 is still better imo

[@HitmanPeTeY]

TLOZ Ocarina of Time? The Last of Us?

[@mcbseb]

Good review 🙂 I have one question though.. How to setup HUD like in this video, where Mini Map and quest objective appear only when using "witcher senses"? Thanks in advance for a tip.

[@camzy96]

Honestly I prefer the older camera angle when playing the game, just can’t seem to get used to the newer one

[@mr.woowoo8826]

I like the menu wheel doesn't take up the whole screen.

[@brandonius78]

How much longer till we don’t have to choose performance vs. ray tracing? I feel like with all the technology, we should be there by now. ❤️❤️❤️

[@fieryinsane]

They sell it like scalpers... It's only dx11. Next gen is dx12 w/ rt.

[@danb8426]

I wish quick cast showed the symbol of the signs instead of the name. At least to me it's easier to identify what's something is by the symbols

[@StarBoundFables]

I tried playing the Witcher 3 on my old PS4 years ago. But, since then, I've gotten more into gaming, & watched the show, + read the 1st novel. Looking forward to trying this game out for real, & this time on my Series X

[@gaspanda]

I enjoy the game but the menu system is unnecessarily complicated for me. I want to spend more time playing and less time on the inventory.

[@divanshu5039]

He and many more deciding to choose Performance mode even though Ray tracing to him looks good with solid 30 FPS. This only tell what the general public thinks. They want solid 60FPS and yet games like starfield are only running at 30 FPS while looking way more worse then this game. Don't forget the upcoming games which needs a RTX 4090 and upscaling to even run the game.

[@tedt7991]

wish it did have this graphics polish for ps4 as well, im playing it now and especially the interiors are sooo dark, and most of the game doest look that good most of the time, im sure this was fine for 2015 but it feels so outdated now

[@patrickbrooks2644]

When u see ray tracing in Geralts eyes you will know which mode to pick . If you play on console your most likely used to 30 . Obviously 60 is better but the difference in mood shifts with ray tracing . Legit talking to the guy that burnt down the dwarfs forge . shadows and light bouncing and a shadowed face with reflecting yellow eyes !!!!!!! Goosebumps

[@BarackObamaJedi]

"an extra coat of Polish" I see what you did there

[@Evanz111]

Hahaha 😂

[@zaccarter3801]

Really needed this. RPGs feel very stale now. Even when this game originally released it filled a void that Bethesda caused. Skyrim, fallout 4, fallout 76, and ESO all felt like shells of the former titans of RPGs. I miss oblivion and fallout 3/NV days. Not saying the games are bad and by sales they definitely aren’t but they didn’t feel as solid as older entries. dragon age inquisition was an amazing game but dragon age origins just felt like a better rpg considering how vast the player experience can be. Then comes Witcher 3, brought in a dynamic combat, balanced exploration, insane depth side quests, looting that broadens your ability to become the Witcher you want. I typically don’t care for RPGs that don’t let you make your character or have voiced dialogue as the character can say something I really didn’t want to say even though it was the option I wanted to pick. Geralt answers almost everything better than I can imagine. The tight cameras and quick casting almost make this a whole other game. Kudos to Cdpr. There are hundreds of little adjustments that make quest rewards more worth it, fix areas that had awkward exploring, balanced certain fights, etc. if you haven’t beat this game or stopped early, now is the time to play this game and the expansions. I will admit, the start is kind of awkward. Everything is above your level and it can be hard to find the quests needed to progress. Once you get to level 8-10, that’s when the game has hundreds of options to venture and complete.

[@execalibur4293]

RTX seems a bit broken on PC. 140FPS on ultra+ but drops to 50 on RTX mode with just the basic setting enabled

[@ridensroom6957]

I played this on ps4 a few years ago. I bought a series x last year and am so tempted to get this soon.

[@DeqwinnPaige238]

I never played this before but I’m interested and the definitive edition for ps5 is on sale for 20-25 dollars rn is it worth the price and worth getting into?

[@anasshahid224]

Witcher 3 one of my favourite games of all time, CD Projekt Red have made an absolute masterpiece, the story telling, action, everything was excellent, the soundtrack is so good and relaxing, the Skellige track a highlight 🎶 🎧 Geralt of Rivia is an amazing protagonist, still love exploring the game with Roach, riding around, always makes me feel happy👏👏👏🐴 ⚔️

[@trondmg]

It is great that the update is free. I really appretiate that. I hope that they will tweak the performance on pc(not sure if it is the same on consoles). With ray tracing on the game is almost unplayable. I get about 40-50 FPS with my RTX 2080 TI card. RT was one of the huge updates, so it is a bit disappointing. Re playing this game without RT at the moment.

[@IndieAuthorX]

My 4090 on RT on ultra+ was pretty smooth, some stuttering but I was using OBS and OBS was not cooperating well.

[@bradr9879]

It’s my top game . Rarely do I replay a game . I’ve beat this game 3 times and am loading it up for a 4th .

[@AlphaHorst]

the PS5 enhanced version with raytracing looks still worse than the GOTY edition on PC did in 2017

[@_bhuc3802]

Is it just me or the camera feels bit too awkward in that third person style , feels so much zoomed in
