Witcher 3

Post Reply New Topic

How many people are playing it now? It's an okay game the world look great and looks real but feels devoid of life.

I'm playing it. It's not groundbreaking per se but I like it a lot thus far. I'm not real far into it like 12-15 hours just to be clear.

I have it but I'm not playing at the moment because according to forums the 1.03 patch is really buggy on ps4 and can break your save files.

Would you guys recommend it for someone who has not played any of the previous Witcher games? It looks good, but I'm not sure if I should get it or not since I'm not familiar with the universe at all. I know I wouldn't recommend someone jump in with Mass Effect 3 without at least playing ME2 and I'm currently playing Dragon Age Inquisition as my first Dragon Age game and am definitely thinking it would have been nice to have played the previous 2.

I would advise that you play the Witcher 2 first to get an understanding of the lore and as for Dragon Age, Origins is a far more dynamic and developed game over Inquisition.

Inquisition is full of fetch quests and feels somewhat like a single player MMO in some respects, it is a good game but I advise that you play Origins if you get the chance.

After cleaning up my PC I was able to launch Witcher 3.
What can I say - this is my first game of the Witcher series, though I've read some of novels and was familiar with world, characters, events and general storyline. If you're not - probably reading or playing Witcher 2 before will be a good idea.
Generally, I like W3. World is considerably big, quests are interesting, combat system is nice, and there you have lots of opportunities to make decisions. If you like open-world games like TES series (Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind) - you should probably give Witcher 3 a chance. While TES is much more variative (more different quests, joinable organizations, locations, and there you can create your own characters), there is great charm in Witcher too.
Overall I recommend playing if your PC is strong enough. No doubt this is one of the best RPGs in last years.

I'd go into it after playing the other games first. The combat I've always found incredibly weak, especially in the first one, but the world and characters are interesting.

As for Dragon Age, you should definitely start with Origins. It is by far the superior game in the series, even if it still has some minor flaws. Inquisition features major design flaws such as endless MMO style quests like fetch this or kill X number of Y mobs. Inquisition's combat is overly simplistic as well; you can button mash through all encounters and not think about what your other party members are doing at all.

I just got to level 13
