Agree completely. Once the learning curve is done, the game is incredible and beautiful. The best game I've ever played.
I keep googling Witcher 4 but no plans apparently in the near future.

I noticed Netflix now has the TV series listed for 2018.
I fancy a game of gwent. What was everyones favourite card faction?
I went with monsters then used a combo where i’d Use harpy eggs and spiders and for everyone killed i’d Get 3 spiders then just double the power on that side. Worked a treat.

Feck's sake guys, seeing this thread bumped is incredibly painful. I just don't want to believe I've finished it and I miss it like absolute hell.
I’m tempted to go back to it as I didn’t like my ending. #Baddad
Exact reason why I still have a save game from the start of Blood & Wine sitting around. Finished the main game and HoS but couldn't bring myself to keep going and actually work towards the final goodbye from the game. Pretty sad I know.
Could never be bothered to learn Gwent.
Shame on you, class game when you get the hang of it
Yeah. I was always just more interested in playing Witcher itself. I played a round of it and was utterly baffled and just didnt have the patience to learn it.
I was once like you and then learned the error of my ways. Great game. I recommend it! And it's fun to collect cards and do the Gwent side-quests
I missed my chance now. Finished the game and I never replay games. Can't even get into Skyrim on VR and I love that game.
It's arguably even better second time through when you're spotting things you hadn't noticed before. Although once you get into Novigrad and realise you're at the bit where all the plots start firing off in different directions it hurts your brain trying to plan what to do next.
It looks absolutely glorious on the XB1-X too.
New game started dont remember the controls being this clunky :/ the walking/running mainly.
dont remember the controls being this clunky :/ the walking/running mainly.I bought this when it got released, played it for half an hour, then never played it again. I should go back to it really but I bought fallout 4 for the pc around the same time and preferred that (mainly the setting).
Think I need to give this more time.

I remember lots of people thinking it started slow but then the Bloody Baron questline is what hooked almost everyone.
That fat arse disappeared before I could beat him in Gwent.
Sorry for the necro, but a fantastic game that is currently on sale on steam, and I figured those who haven't tried it yet could do with that info.
Got TW3 game of the year edition (game + dlc's) for 160 NOK (16,5 euros or 14,7 gbp).
Current non-sale price is on 400 NOK (41,4 euros or 36,8 gbp).

Indeed- though in hindsight the slow beginning was a perfect and unforced way to get used to the controls and feel of the game. It made the shit ton of stuff to do afterwards feel a bit less intimidating. But I agree that the Red Baron quest list is absolutely superb. Probably one of the best ever in a game.
Since this was bumped anyway, here’s a vid that explains why the game is so great articulated in a manner I hadn’t considered before.
I hate it when this gets bumped because it reminds I still haven’t finished. In fact, I never got past Novigrad, despite spending about 10 hours there.
Playing this again for the DLC I never bothered with. Might just be the best game ever for me.
I wish I was a witcher.
Well, minus the fighting of Monsters and endless dialogue and riding on a horse.

I think if I played it for the first time now, after playing BOTW and H:ZD, the combat would probably annoy me a lot more cause it's so basic in comparison, but yeah, definitely one of the best games ever.
Played it for over 20 hours, will stop now as it just doesn´t entertain me.
As everyone seems to think it´s brilliant, i guess i am just not the type for offline RPGs, can´t find the motivation to invest so much if there´s no one to share it with.

Pfff, go away and take that MMO stuff with you!
Single player RPGs are love, single player RPGs are life. Who needs other people anyways?
You sir, are very persistent. If I don't like a game after 20 minutes, it goes in the bin.
I agree with this - games like the Witcher are the very best of what gaming has to offer imo.
It took me a lot of hours to get into Fallout 4. Not 20 maybe, but not far off. In fact I did give up, but then gave it another go after a couple of months and liked it a lot more.
I think for me playing a game too soon after another game I really liked can be problematic.
Netflix green lit a Witcher series. Should be terrible. Or great.
Yeah that's going to be completely awful.
I would usually think awful but Netflix have been pumping out some pretty good stuff so far so I wouldnt be surprised if they did a good job of it.
Heh, I gave up on Fall Out 4 after a few hours. Should probably give it another spin since I loved 3 and New Vegas. Played it just after Dark Souls though, so the clunkyness kind of killed it for me then.
I never played 3 or New Vegas. But I have heard people say that Fallout 4 is inferior to both in a lot of ways. It put all its focus on having amazing graphics and settlement building, but doesnt have the same level of choice as its predecessors. The dialogue options are fairly one dimensional and you dont get to feel like you have really affected the world in the same way - again, according to what I have heard from people who played the older games.
I really liked it a lot, I have to say. But not as much as Witcher 3. Which itself - for me, and I know I am in a huge minority in feeling this way - I felt was not quite as good as Horizon Zero Dawn.
The bolded bit is probably the problem. I loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas as well and spent countless hours in them. Fallout 4 just couldn't keep me interested. It felt like a similar game but the magic was gone, everything felt so dull. I can imagine those who missed the previous games or didn't spend a lot of time with them would like 4 a lot more.
I'm considering giving Fallout 4 another chance due to not wanting to spend on a game for a short while. But I don't know if I'll be able to. I found it so painfully average the first time and am just trying to convince myself to be more open minded.
Depends strongly on what you loved them for. I think already Fallout 3 barely deserves the Fallout name due to its habit of lore breaking and its bonkers world building (this series on FO3 does a great job at explaining these points: http://shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=27085), and Fallout 4 not only makes that stuff worse, but also shits all over the RPG core of the series by eviscerating the game mechanics.
Weird, everytime I click the Witcher 3 thread it takes me the the fallout thread :/
Only 20hrs? Barely scratched the surface, have you even made it out of the first pub/village yet?
Jokes aside at first I wasn’t that keen on it but I persisted and it does take quite a long time to get to the really gritty good stuff. I quite like an RPG and with games like mass effect and so on you learn to embrace the grind, search everywhere, travel everywhere take your time and the game gives back all in all all that hard work is totally worth it. At some point i’ll Go back and re-play it for a different ending.
If you want to talk about Witcher 3 youre better off in the Horizon Zero Dawn thread.
For some reason it happens everywhere - reddit for example - where Witcher 3 is mentioned. It's constantly being compared to Fallout 4, even though they are pretty different games, apart from both being open world games that came out in 2015.
First one I played was Fall Out 2. While I liked Fall Out 3 a lot, it wasnt exactly Fall Out 2 in 3d. That's actually still what I'm waiting for. The amount of freedom that game had was amazing. The 3d version that came closest is New Vegas imho, which I enjoyed a lot. Fall Out 4 just seemed empty and focused on the obsession people have for epic loot and stuff with those special enemies you can hunt down.
Blowing people up in power armour is cool though.
