Blood and Wine completely absorbed me for longer than the average length of a single player game and is higher in quality than nearly every full price game I’ve played, yet it’s only a DLC.

I often play this and think that they didn’t even need to add certain content in or add so many detailed side quests and yet they did, knowing that some stuff, only a few people would ever get to see. That for me shows that CDPR really care about giving value for money with their games. They could have bundled their dlc together and called it the Witcher 4 and asked full price and we would have gladly paid it but they didn’t, they released it as dlc and for me, that shows integrity, especially in today’s money grabbing, EA dominated video game world. It makes the wait for Cyberpunk 2077 worth it as we should expect that will also be incredibly detailed and full of content like the Witcher.

[@michaeldromes3948]

Lot of the dlc was supposed to be in the original game, but they decided to cut it and charge extra for it, but sure its totally the love or something, nothing to do with money.

[@mjmamat4058]

Michael Dromes. Well that sounds an awful lot like conjecture to me. The main story plus all the side quests and Witcher contracts added together can take over 100 hours and if you’re taking the time to explore all the mystery markers all over the map, complete your Gwent deck and just taking your time, it’s a game you could easily spend 150+ hours in before you even reach the dlc. That’s incredible value for money.

[@Dj.MODÆO]

I have kicked my self in the A$$ everyday for the last two weeks for letting this game sit in my PS4 library for all these years and never played it until now. I tried it for like 5 minutes when I first bought it but I hated the clunky controls, so I forgot all about it and got invested in other titles. After hearing about how awesome it was for years and watching the Netflix series I decided to give it another go. The movement controls still suck(not as bad since I adjusted them)...but the game and its world are so fun and engrossing that I have decided to tolerate the fact that Geralt isn’t capable of taking just one or two steps and insists on stopping and looking at posters and business signs repeatedly when he is supposed to be running through town.

[@mjmamat4058]

William Brinkley. I kind of did the same with Monster Hunter. I watched the first minute of a review and immediately decided I wouldn’t like it but then when the Iceborn dlc came out I gave it a second glance since they were offering the base game and the massive dlc for the same price as any other full price base game and boy o boy did I feel like a muppet for not picking it up sooner! Very enjoyable game IMO. Witcher’s controls take some getting used to for sure though. Geralt’s movement isn’t great and sometimes he’s hard to control when you’re trying to take loot from multiple boxes in a small room with other obstacles nearby. For me that’s the Witcher’s main downfall. There’s the occasional bug and every now and again the game crashes but generally I think it’s a highly polished game. Anyway, don’t beat yourself up, at least now you get to enjoy one of the best games ever made and once you get through the ginormous main game, you’ve got a butt load of dlc content waiting for you 😄

This is what happened with me too. I never heard of The Witcher before the third game; in fact I've never been much of a fan of the fantasy genre to begin with, the sole exception being The Lord of the Rings well as Game of Thrones (which was way more grounded than other fantasy media and still a good show back then). Watching the Sword of Destiny trailer for The Witcher 3 when it first aired though, for some odd reason, really caught my interest. Maybe it was the music, or the visuals, or the way it presented a gritty and grounded world in a fantasy setting similar to GoT. Maybe it was the fact it presented a quality narrative-driven singelplayer game, something that has been a dying breed for years in the mainstream. I'm not sure what caused it, but I remember rewatching that trailer a lot and being washed over with this intense desire to explore the story and world within the game. And then I got TW3 on PS4 (this was before I joined the PC Master Race lol), and fell down a rabbit hole I'll never regret nor forget. Even 5 years later, I'm borderline obsessed with the games and the books lol

[@physical_insanity]

The books are amazing too. Never played the games (wish I could, though), but these pieces of paper are just so engaging and thrilling, even when there's no action going on. Sapkowski's wit and dry humour make for an excellent recipe and the best part is it all feels like fantasy, unlike a majority of the stuff that comes out nowadays. I love the part where Ciri is training with Geralt in the second book, swinging her sword while practising her footwork on precarious bits of wood, and at the end it reveals she's been wearing a blindfold the entire time. And the characters too... Yeah, I'm rambling again. I'll just say, if the books suck me in for months at a time, then the games will be even more time consuming.

​@Stasss Not even close? It has sold more copies, has a better average review score, and received more awards. It's also a much bigger part of popular culture today, outside of RPG gamers most people wouldn't have a clue what a Witcher is, at least before they watched the Netflix show. And like I said, 9 years later people are still talking about Skyrim, and playing it. It's not that impressive that this game is still popular when it's half as old. These are just facts. W3 is pretty good, but it hasn't done anything Skyrim hasn't done before. In terms of open world exploration, it's quite a few notches below Skyrim or any TES game, this game's biggest strength is by far the story. There is far, far more to do and to explore in Skyrim than in Witcher 3. A single playthrough, completing all the side quests along the way, takes easily 3x as long in Skyrim.

@@BigUriel As someone who played morrowind as their first rpg game ever, played through the majority of oblivion, and played skyrim through with mods at least a dozen times, The Witcher 3 is the benchmark when it comes to the quality of games. There are very few games, if any, with as good of character development, story, and writing. There are also practically zero games with these three things along with a wide variety of choices and consequences. That being said, Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls as a whole are widely more influential, but not in terms of being a benchmark, but for basically making western RPGs mainstream. Bethesda has always had good player building, exploration, and replayability, but in every other aspect, The Witcher 3 is far superior.

Not everything.

This game set the bar too high that after five years, it still feels fresh and can easily compete with the latest games in the market. The Witcher 3 is a unique masterpiece that engulfs you with its engaging story, well-crafted characters, and beautiful mesmerizing landscapes. After finishing the game, I felt somehow a sadness because I did not want the game to end and leave the Witcher 3 world. I fell in love with the characters, their life stories, with the beautiful fields of Toussaint, the streets of Novigrad, the ruins of Kaer Morhen, and the majestic mountains of Skellige under the sounds of the beautiful folk music. Big THANKS and much respect for the genius game makers of CD PROJEKT RED, I hope that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a great game like the Witcher 3.

[@TheMistyBlueLounge]

Heck yea. I really doubt Cyberpunk 2077 will live up to the expectations set by the Witcher series to be honest, but I'm still buying it day one because CDPR deserves my money! I just don't think Cyberpunk will have the same depth of character and world building (certainly helped by the work of Andrzej Sapkowski), but I'll keep my fingers crossed!

[@willyang9688]

not to mention Velen really gives you the kind of hopeless, poor and dangerous feel. I still remember the time I finally got out of Velen and into the city of Novigrad. The change of surroundings from hopelessness into the vibrant city life is really amazing.

[@nertoni]

​@@willyang9688 you are absolutely right, the same feeling I had when I got out of Velen and into Novigrad ... that's the reason I didn't mention Velen because of the deep feeling of hopelessness, misery, and despair ... but I think this strong contrast between different environments makes this game so great - you walk through the streets of Novigrad all discriminate you, then you walk through the streets of Toussaint, and everyone admires and glorifies you ...

I remember playing this for the first time last year. I tried it in 2015 borrowing from a friend and didn't get in to it so gave it back. It was on sale for £7 GOTY and I am so glad I gave it another shot. I agree with everything in this video entirely. It's one of the best games I've ever played. I put in about 120 hours for my first playthrough and the 2 DLC's and plan to go back through it once the PS5 upgrade comes out later this year. It's absolutely sublime. I also hated gwent the first time, and ignored it for the first 20 hours or so of my playthrough and then it suddenly clicked for me and I did every quest and tournament and got every gwent card and would often just boot the game up to play gwent and that's it! 10/10 game for me personally, despite it's flaws.

[@sb99.1]

Man! This is not a video game. This is an experience we have lived through. A long journey of emotions, amazements, attachments, wonders, joys, heartwarming moments as well as heart breaking moments. Played so many games, got emotional attachment to only a few of those. But Witcher 3 is completely different. Felt like loss of a old childhood best friend when the last wine drinking scene of blood and wine ended. End of a journey. I'm not poetic. But damn. What an experience! Only CDPR can recreate another such a game. I really hope they do.

[@JS-bh3pz]

All those years later The Legends of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom which itself is a sequel to one best open world games ever made used the same premise where all champions come to fight with you, BTW re-playing Witcher 3 after playing the last 2 Zelda games helped me to appreciate the Witcher 3 open world much more and the exploration side of it.

[@Kyrkis]

I love finding things I never had before, I love the characters, I love the story, I love the voice acting and I seriously love their amazing dialogue system. The facial animations, the characters' eyes, their movements, everything has had so much work put into it that it's mind boggling. I've never played another game where side quests and simple character interactions are on the same level of the main quests. On my second playthrough I went a totally different route when it came to combat. I use to be focused on offensive skills for the melee combat and the signs. I went from that, to having 6 out of my 12 skill points be about alchemy. I take my time to use the right decoctions and oils, reading up on what the enemy weaknesses are. The second to the highest difficulty which I'm on right now is definitely the best choice for experiencing the game. It has so much depth in all of its aspects. I have 160 hours in this game and I haven't even touched the DLCs yet which I'm planning to buy soon. First playthrough was during 2016. My current playthrough I started this year and I just can't get enough of this game. Definitely a 9.5-10/10 for me.

[@valravnsshadow9422]

I run a primarily alchemy build for my character with a few sign and melee perks for basic bottom line building. It's awesome and rewards planning and anticipating what you're going to deal with it, while being in the top 3 builds you can possibly have for the game. It makes you soooooo powerful it's amazing, even on Blood and Bones and Deathmarch.

[@purplewrathtwelve7152]

Bro the DLC's are arguably better then the main game, and between the two 40+ hours of more content. Masterpiece.

@Kyrkis what keeps it from being a 10/10 if you don’t mind my asking? i’m just curious

[@Kyrkis]

@@chance757 Dying from fall damage when dropping from 2 meters high. The wonky traversal on Roach(she sometimes just feels unresponsive), the weird glitched aninations Roach has sometimes. SWIMMING. Well, in short, to me traversal/movement/responsiveness in games is really important so when stuff in that area are sometimes wonky it bothers me a bit. There's a few stuff here and there that I don't have at the top of my head right now. Oh and also, I'd love it if the alternate signs didn't require a skill slot. I'd prefer it if you just unlocked them with skill points and they became passive.

@Kyrkis all completely valid reasons. the excessive fall damage annoyed me too now that i think about it. i found roach’s quirks cute but that’s just me lol. thanks!
