Witcher 3 is debatably the greatest game of all time, here's some examples of why:
Batman Stare
Do you even lift bro? [The Witcher III - Wild Hunt]
Horse physics.....do you even lift?
Respect towards the horrors of war
Truly engaging side missions....every one of them
The Witcher III hunting.
Realistic hunting and tracking
The Witcher is on the leash.
Finely tuned sword combat
Incredibly gripping dialog
Fully realized cites to explore
Nope, I'm out of here. [The Witcher III - Wild Hunt]
Wildlife that acts completely natural
Groundbreaking facial animations
and to top it off: true to life relationship goals, this games got it all.
The amazing thing is, even with all the goofiness I've shown this is still the most competent, fun, breathtaking game I've ever had the delight to experience. If you have not played it yet I implore you to give it a chance. You wont regret it. Or you will. That parts really up to you :)
Finallyausernameavailable
Got the Platinum trophy a few months ago and I have say the The Witcher 3 is definitely one of my top 3 favourite games
irisewithredeyes

CrossStitchAddict
Love this game!!!
WenzelDashington
You can have sex on a unicorn!?
NastyWetSmear
Can and should.
TheGuyWithTheDragonTattoo
This happened during my game

Quarantane
I'd like to play it, but I've never played the others
shartfearer
Same and I'm on a 4th playthrough. You can YouTube summaries or even previous game "movies" if you want
BenjaminPannell
The game even lets you decide what things you did in the past games you didn't play.
CheshirePhoenix
Play it anyway. You don't have to play 1 at all, and as long as you read the character entries in the codex you can safely skip 2, too
LiquidMilk
The game does a really good job of explaining everything to newcomers while also leaving lots of great references for hardcore fans
NockLoose
Me either, and guess what, never felt like I was missing out and Witcher 3 is still my favorite game. Don't let that stop you.
TinyOctopus
Tiny Octopus has one question. He got the base game when it was first coming out but never played. Now he's looking at the DLC. Worth it?
Quincy80
I thought Witcher 3 would be the best game ever. Then I played Blood and Wine. Hearts of Stone is pretty good, but it's not B&W.
C137
If you enjoy the base game then yeah I think it's worth it, it's a fair price for how much you get I loved the dark/fantasy stories in the..
C137
DLC, for me everything was fresh and interesting maybe even more compelling than the main story
Maraak
Yes. The DLC's adds a huge amount of new content, all of it to the same impressive standard of the main game.
Maraak
DLC is basically full AAA games by other studio's standards. It's fuckin' amazing.
skulliea
Definitely worth it. Its like having a sequel included!
forgotmyokdpasswordsohereweare
I've seen better facial animations in the witcher than I've seen from real people in some movies and tv shows
sarabearr
I fucking love the witcher 3

PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
When this and Fallout 4 came out I chose to play Fallout 4 first. I then put this game in and couldn't handle the thought of another game
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
taking up over 100 hours of my life. So after 3 hours I started something else and promised myself I'd go back to it later. Still haven't.
Luchalma
I got TW3 when it came out. So when Fallout came out months later, I played it and it just felt generations behind where CDPR was at.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
CD Project Red are a bastion of hope in an industry long ravaged. They sold a full games worth of dlc for £10
CheshirePhoenix
They believe DLC should be free and expansion packs (12-20 hours of content) should be $10-$15.
HalTheMisinterpretivePornStar
ABonkeysManana
It's a good way if thinking, but, with economic influences games will be getting more expensive over time. Because production costs rise.1/2
ABonkeysManana
That's understandable and completely reasonable, as long as they don't over-charge and keep the ratio the same. Unlike other companies.
CheshirePhoenix
The philosophy is that DLC is small shit. Like outfits/etc (horse armor anyone?), and expansion packs are supposed to add actual gameplay.
ABonkeysManana
Yeah DLC should be free but it's fine if an expansion pack costs money.
relicen
You're not factoring in the growth of the market.
ThePotatoBandit
I couldn't finish it because I went about it with a completionist mentality and there are just waaay too many side quests
LiquidMilk
And the beauty of it is that many of the side quests could be a main story line in many other games!
tarWHOdis
That horse is the reason I'm now ordering this game.
swwweeeeee1877
Same.
TheGreatZasta
It's a unicorn actually....
BoogiesOogie
Roach is the single dumbest piece of shit In that entire beauty of a game, but I still love him, he is the comic relief of this game.

MatrimBloodyCauthon
Triss is a horrible romance breaker upper awful woman
RealBenedictCumberbatch
That djinn side mission with yen is probably a better love story than what most movies show !!!
CheshirePhoenix
Yeah, they put actual work into making it a relationship instead of just sex scenes.
SpoildLord
I should probably get this game
Hobo42
Please do!
LiquidMilk
I hate open world games. Witcher 3 is still the best game i've played :/ It takes a few hours to get used to, but after that it's pure bliss
SorryImAwkwardSorry

CheshirePhoenix
5/7 would bang like a drum.
Paramike
Swiffty
Witcher 3 is, without a doubt, my all time favourite game. Also, the expansions are of a higher quality than most current AAA titles
RealBenedictCumberbatch
Blood and wine is basically witcher 4
xrosstalk
Seriously this. I finally finished absolutely everything except two races cause I was burnt out but final tally was 232 hrs.
Swiffty
No joke, it's an expansion and it has more content, and replayablility, than most "AAA" titles
CheshirePhoenix
And each main story quest line feels like a full AAA game in and of itself, too
Swiffty
I introduced a friend of mine, who usually just plays shit like CoD, to the Witcher series. He pushed through the 1st game, said he loved -
Swiffty
- the 2nd, and when he played the 3rd he said he'd never felt so overwhelmed by a game before. Long story short, he was addicted
CheshirePhoenix
Yeah. The story in the first game was excellent, but it was practically unplayable. If you have to, start with 2.
Swiffty
I started with 2, then went back and played 1 before 3 was launched. Glad I did, I don't think I could get through it now
AWildYetiHasAppeared
Have not played any of the Witcher series but I am definitely getting this one
BoopedYourSnoot
I didn't play the first one and only played 1/4 of the 2nd but I still sunk 200 hours into the 3rd. It's a masterpiece.
grimfandango
The developers even made videos that cover the other games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPHgWfWFr9k You really do not have to play 'em.
grimfandango
Also, TW3 exposes the player to the backstory and the world in many clever ways. TW1 was fun, but compared to TW3... personally I'd skip.
Threeleggedcow
You don't need to play the previous games or read the books but you get more of the references if you do
AWildYetiHasAppeared
That's what I've heard...
grinner
As someone who played and read them all, I think it explains everything pretty well when it needs to reminisce, but most of it is new story.
FLASHGORDONNOISE
I love that even 250+ hours later I'm still finding finding stuff to do. And that's only one play through
xrosstalk
I played through everything and explored every marker and did every quest but two races (cause I was burnt out.) and it was 232 hrs.
GreekTrojan
It took me 180 to "100%" the game+DLC (I only didn't count the pointless Skellege sunk treasures after I finished the northern ones).
CheshirePhoenix
I've got close to 1400 hours in it across five playthroughs and haven't even touched the DLC yet.
FLASHGORDONNOISE
That's so rad. I'm just cleaning up some other games before I go in for another play through. The DLC is worth it. Just as good as the main
CheshirePhoenix
I made the mistake of staring NG+ on all of my available save files so I have to play through again before starting. Or get shrekt. 1/2
CheshirePhoenix
2/2 that's my main complaint about the game, is there's not nearly enough save file spaces. Which seems silly considering, but still.
flashmozzg
Isn't it unlimited? I don't remember running out of space on PC.Or maybe I did, but I was at like 1k saves and I just overwrote the 1st ones

Yep, I'm sure the Sapkowski will be in my top 3 authors, alongside Tolkien and W. Smith once I start reading the books.

CoolGuyCoolDude
I know I'm late as fuck but I know that you can download the books for free on Reddit. Just Google it
NewToTheEnterwbs
YouTube has the audio books but physically having them is better imo. They are $9 at Barnes and noble and cheaper, like $6, used at B&N.
nomoto04
So many hours of my life NOT wasted. I've beaten this game on every difficulty and seen every ending/choice. And now I've read all the books
skulliea
First ending I got was dead Ciri... I immediately started again
nomoto04
Oh No! I was so scared of that my first play through. I got Witcher Ciri. Made me happy
skulliea
Not done witcher Ciri I got emperor Ciri after dead Ciri. Made me a lot happier!
BoogiesOogie
Witcher Ciri is the so called "Good ending" by IGN.
nomoto04
Yeah it's definitely my favorite. I'm torn between Yen and Triss though. Book Yen is crazy but I dig it. But in the games I prefer Triss
skulliea
Guess I'll have to play it again.. darn!

Finishing this game made me sad because I knew all other games would fail to satisfy me forever.
YourMomJokes
i found my new addiction in elder scrolls online. quenched my thirst shortly after I finished this.
NyQuilDaydream
I bought it the day it came out but just finished it about a month ago because I dreaded the idea of no more witcher lol
apittsburghoriginal
New game plus. It's just as fun the second time around with so many alternate storyline options.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
It was my first video game. Nothing lives up to it.
TheNax
Same. So sad yet so sweet when that Happens.
Broventuretime
Exactly why I left it on the final mission of blood and wine. Couldn't bring myself to end it all
NockLoose
Final missions epic, final fought is the best fight in the game........
idenoh
oh my god it was freaking amazing, I loved blood and wine so much, it could have been its own game
HeironymousLex
I recommend The Talos Principle.
HopeYouAreHavingAGreatDay
Took me four tries to bring myself to finishing the game, ended up taking breaks and restarting because I didn't want it to end.
HopeYouAreHavingAGreatDay
Finished it a week ago, and I'm slowly, very slowly, playing through the Blood and Wine DLC.
flashmozzg
Finish Hearts Of Stone first.
PommesPeter
I tried playing Dragon Age Inquisition after Witcher 3 and just realized how much inferior the game is in every way except combat..
AltEff4
I did the exact same thing. Extremely disappointed
xbolt
After I completed Witcher 3 for the first time, my next game was Mass Effect: Andromeda.
iwalkonthebottomofthemississippiriver
Man. I got lucky. I played fallout 4 and a few others before I experience that level of disappointment.
egbertmoxie
You poor soul.
ultradongle
Same here, I didn't pick up another game for like 2 weeks after I finished it. It was like getting to the end of a really good, long, book.

after playing Skyrim the only RPG that i could play was Witcher 3 so i stopped for looking to play new RPGs since none can top skyrim

Nooooooo you have to finish! And play the DLCs!

I feel that. I thought Nier for some reason could be there, but in the end it was so much less. Can't find The Game™ since Witcher 3. :/

I am in desperate need of a Switch.

Dark souls 1 is a good option if you haven't played it yet in your life. It still is even if you did.
Xiniov
This. I started playing Fallout 4 immediately after finishing Witcher 3 and it just doesn't compare

I recommend Horizon: Zero Dawn. It's a much smaller game (still open world) but amazing story, graphics & gameplay.
unpunnyfuns
I have a complete collection of Gwent cards. I think I need a plot refresh. :D

Real talk, one of the most frustrating things in games these days is when you collect EVERYTHING in game 1 and have nothing to show for it
asm80dfa8sdfj
in the sequel. As a hobby game developer, it's something I plan to work on improving.
thingammabob
Finishing the game made me really sad because I tried to help ciri too much and I triggered the bad ending :(
kirbyvictorious
I guess you read the books then? And then after that play the game again, rinse and repeat.
FinishMyLyrics
I'll eventually get around to finishing this game... I kinda stopped halfway
NockLoose
This was actually a real problem for me. Soon as I finished Witcher 3 I played Horizon Zero Dawn. It lessened it for me, but i'll replay it.
harmlesspotato
The only way I could accept horizon zero dawn's ending was by telling myself there's a sequel coming.
BeginnersLuck00
Is HZD that game about robot dinosaurs?
NockLoose
Yes, yes it is.

Did you play through hearts of stone and blood and wine? Phe-nominal.

Sigge1981
I really should sit down and properly play this game. I've bought it twice, after all.

I've gotten about 4-5 hours into it, but I keep getting distracted by other stuff. I should sit down and really play at some point.

I also bought it twice. PC and Xbox one. Probably going to buy it again on steam just for convenience

Holy shit yes you should. And the dlc is amazing as well.

I tried to play this, but I hated having to grind for an hour to get materials so I could die to the first boss over and over.
egbertmoxie
What? What difficulty were you playing on?
ArdentSlacker
Maybe turn the difficulty down a notch. Movement has a quick step AND a dodge-roll in combat. And there's chests in the water. Watch a 1+
ArdentSlacker
2/2 vid showing someone fighting it. Might pick up a tip? (So frustrating when you see you DID do it right, just not enough right tho.)
NightfallEverdark
I just didn't like the hour of farming materials between the fights. That was the bigger turnoff than a challenging fight
ArdentSlacker
What farming are you talking about though? You mix the stuff, and after that, meditating 1 hr restocks all potions/bombs.
NockLoose
This is sound advice

I'm pushing 40. I started out with text adventure games. We got solution files off BBS's, because the internet didn't exist and fekkin' 1+

It's fun enough. I've had it since it came out but only finished the main story recently. It was pretty enticing. Not "the best game ever".
ArdentSlacker

I need to try again. Hellblade is the best game I've played, ever. Maybe because it's relatable. It's not about the game mechanics tho

CheshirePhoenix
I keep trying to send CD Projekt RED an extra $120 and they just keep sending cease and desist letters. Because the game is worth $180.
ovelanimimerkki
I'm pretty sure this is the kind of game that I'd buy a third time if I figured I'd need to. I mean I already have it on pc so I won't but >
ovelanimimerkki
the DLC alone have more content than most western games these days, so it's really worth three times it's price.
LiquidMilk
Blood and Wine was basically The Witcher 4. Incredible amount of content for a DLC
xrosstalk
Ya I had no idea there would be this much content in a DLC. The Stonesomething one was a single chain mission but B&W was another game.
ItsBelvie
Iirc they said their 2 dlcs had more gameplay combined than the whole of witcher 2
ovelanimimerkki
I actually just started another B&W playtrough, about 25h played and still lots to do.

I haven't even played any, if I did play it would I know what is going on or so they do a good job of explaining the world to new people
shuya82
I feel that it gives sufficient explanation. Feels like a lot at first but you catch up quickly if you pay attention.
NewToTheEnterwbs
Also it does a great job of keeping notes and some back story for ALL the main characters you meet. Forget who someone is, it tells you!
asm80dfa8sdfj
I wish that game 1 didn't suck SO much. How did they get the money for a second game? I'll never know. I don't want to start at #2 though
flashmozzg
It doesn't suck. It's just old, low budget and a bit archaic. Not aged very well. But it still was an enticing experience.
asm80dfa8sdfj
I said that as someone who happily finds new NES games to play. The controls for me are unplayable. It's so unfriendly. I tried to like it.
