The Witcher 3 (PC, PS4, Xbox One) was one of our favorite games of last year. Fans love it, but no game is perfect and Witcher fans have some complaints. Subscribe for more: / gameranxtv
When some stores like the barber never show up on the map, only on the mini map if youre close... I'd go through half of Novigrad in attempt to shave my beard
You know you can make a roll by pressing the jump button before hitting the ground that makes you survive even falls from an even greater height without a scratch?
The fast travel point at Crow’s perch. Yes, THAT fast travel point where you have to run for about 10 to 15 minutes to get to the castle on the top where everything useful is located.
True, but sometimes you can't roll. If you land on something awkward, like a pointy rock or a sharp slope, Geralt's death animation will trigger before you can get a roll off. It's weird but it happens.
@@WakeUpEternals If only I could, my dude. Alas, I'm on Xbone for this game. You have no idea how often I've wanted to break down and get another copy on PC to use mods. NO IDEA. lol
Dude! Like when I was at the temple in the city I tried to get to the cave off of the cliffs and kept dying. And what about the house in the city with absolutely no doors!

When you're walking towards Roach and he just runs away from Geralt. Or when you're riding Roach and he refuses to to walk past a fence or whatever and rather keeps galloping against it.
LITERALLY what I did. Whenever I saw "bestiary updated" I immediatelly would go and read the new entry and be preped for future encounters. Like...c'mon, take some time to read the game documentation.
+ALI ARGHAMIRi Played it, the story is pretty shit honestly. The gameplay and eye candy is good, but it's also an exclusive, so it has a limited audience. Uncharted isn't "My" GOTY at least. My personal favorites were a tie between TW3, TPP (Pardon the shit story, but the gameplay makes up for it) and Mario Maker(Just a favorite, not GOTY Material).
It's cool, it's the internet, no grammar required=P. But i doubt it would happen either, but I think it would be just as bad if an exclusive wins the title. That's my opinion however, I don't really care what wins.
The control of geralt and the horse is so frustrating, trying to climb narrow stairs is a skill. The other thing that really annoys me is when you follow someone on a mission they made the walking pace different so your constantly stopping running, walking stopping. That's it I love the rest.
@@Flypidge I was talking about the NPCs walking at a much slower rate than the player. That happens in almost every game. Witcher 3 actually is not as bad with this when running as the NPC can for the most part keep up.
Fully agreed. The horse mechanics in Witcher 3 are fucking terrible. Hell even Kingdom Come Deliverance has better horse mechanics. I'm especially allergic to Roach always stopping on bridges for no reason while I'm in full gallop. Fucking hate that.
I spent over 120 hours in one play through to 100% everything but I REFUSE to get those question marks in the water on skellige. I hate the boat and swimming mechanics
I completed every question mark in skellige by travelling through boat and most of them are smuggler's cache surrounded by sirens whose noise just makes my ears bleed and killing each sirens underwater using crossbow is such a pain in the arse. Took me so many weeks but i finally finished it.
Do you guys know that if you press jump just before landing ,Gerald would roll over and decrease most of the fall damage ? To me fall damage is not annoying at all because you only die if you actually fall from a very high place
crows perch waypoint. there needed to be one in the bloody baron's castle by your chest and the master armorer not a good half a mile through a town and across a drawbridge.
Ragnarr Loðbrók Kaer Morhen fast travel is annoying but it is...lore?...world? Correct since it is such an out of the way place and when has anything in witcher game been convenient
The initial move from velen to skellige was a shellshock and a half because in velen you can move in a straight line and not follow the guide. But if you try and go in a straight line in skellige, you're running head first into a mountain.
To me, Skellige feels like lazy development. “Oh, I don’t feel like making a bunch of land people can travel through. How do I still make it look like it’s a big area? Oh I know!!!! I’ll make 90% of it mountains”
Skellige is inspired by Scandinavia (especially by Norway) you lazy asses. There's a lot of mountains in Norway. So it's not lazy-development. It's just being attached to details.
@@N9neliivesGaming83 The mountains I don't mind so much...the amount of question marks though (treasure caches out at sea) is a different story. I always feel compelled to go out and get them even though I don't really have to lol.
Whale Graveyard in Skellige and Downwarren in Velen are your friends. Almost guaranteed to get one red mutie. Keep fast traveling between each place and the enemies respawn.
the thing that i HATE the most is that you automatically go into combat mode when you see an enemy. like when the enemy is stronger than you and you don't wanna fight but just sneak around it and loot the guarded treasure, THE GAME DOESNT LET YOU. you go into combat mode as soon as you see the enemy which sucks, because you cant do anything like looting or climbing.
Exactly! This one really had me especially at a mission after assassinating the king one of the guards told me by order of king radovid I was like wtf dude I just killed that guy
Luckily it's not a case after completing main story And it's not existing in DLC's But that's a good thing for people who have long time breaks between each session with the game. You now, kind of reminder of what's happening.
That has to be my worst pet peeve. You summon Roach who you have to go chase. Then you try and gallop the whole way there but with all the sharp turns and the cramped road space Roach always come to halt.
I don't even go there anymore, I finished that quest and haven't been back. Doesn't she make you witch hunter armor as your master gift after you've gone to Skellige and brought her back tools? Witch hunter armor... as if I don't already have 3 of those sitting in a chest. These "masters" are fake news!
ramonypony The master armourer unlocks the ability to craft Master Witcher armour, like Feline and Griffin School armour. They give enhanced buffs when you have a whole set. The problem is you may be underleveled at the time because you have to be Level 17 or something to even wear Feline armour. But all in all, they're a good investment.
i’m almost to the top and i’m just praying to myself that he makes it, and then right as he’s about to reach the top he starts fucking sliding and i start verbally keyboard smashing.
I hate the bugs. One of the most annoying and common to me is the diving bug, where Geralt forgets how to dive underwater and stays swimming continuously on the surface, while I bash the button. Gotta reload...
I was so psyched to receive the so called master sword I'd spent good over 2 hours for. I then had to recheck my inventory for over 5 times to make sure that piece of crap was indeed the reward. Other swords i kept in my inventory were at least 3 levels above that one. Never been more dissappointed at a quest. Sold right back to Hatori's face and got like 60 crowns.
When you are swimming around and trying to get ashore. There is a 1 foot high ledge in front of you while you are in the water. A normal person would just grab it and lift themselves up, but not Geralt. Nope, he needs a level or sloped surface to get out of the water.
I remember once being blocked in a small piece of water in swamp and couldn't get out of it, couldn't climb the ground. So I had to restart from my latest save
@@joshuaortmeyer291 same i got trapped half swimming half wading in this tiny pool in a swamp WHILE getting assaulted by a tough water hag or something, got so mad I quit and loaded last save lmao
+AJay Tuttle but you do know what they do, right? nitpick "flaws" to make sure they have material for their scheduled uploads. the issue here is putting quantity over quality. oh and lets not forget Witcher 3 was not "maybe one of the best games of 2015", it was GOTY.
right? I did find out about yrden and Moon dust making them damageable on my own because I actually use the bestiary: one of the most useful tools in the whole game.
Oh yeah - the fact that Geralt always seems to sheathe his sword at the wrong time. "Hey I'm about to be attacked by a pack of hungry wolves...think I'll just put my sword away - I won't be needing that!"
Not in Witcher 3... NPCs usually walk at the same speed as you. However they run faster than you...it becomes hard to catch up with them when they start running... with that limited stamina and all...
i swear, in thay ciri part at the steam room, felt in the water by accident(making the optional thing) and got stuck there for a while, I think I rather go trough that cave with the wild hunt ghosts with my lvl 15 gear than go to that steam room ever again
part of the first quest to kill the first wraith is to read your journal about them. You cant even continue without doing that. And it takes like 15 seconds to read and know exactly what to do...
@@MaesReverie In caves, dungeons or anything like that (basically everywhere apart from the streets in a village or city), I ignite every single candle, torch and 'whatever those large fire thingys are called' I see. Edit: And I know many other people do that too.
The first wraith encounter is a Witcher Contract, and one of the objectives of the contract literally says to "Read Glossary". It's in White Orchard, it's a tutorial quest. It's teaching you to learn monsters' weaknesses via the glossary. If you didn't know how to handle the noonwraith, you either can't read or were ignorant in learning basic game mechanics. EDIT: Bestiary*
@@Festoniaful oh yeah, and then the damn siren falls somhere where you can't get it, and you wait for her to flight up, to get closer to you and only then you blow the horn again... duh...
Standing next to a killed enemy and not being able to loot because you walked one step too far. Turning around - same Problem. no, you have to walk away for 4 steps, then turn around and go one step Closer...my mother is better at parking her car.
I mean, in all fairness in the wraiths, the first quest has the requirement to read the bestiary on the Noonwraiths, and it has Yrden listed as a weakness...just saying ;D
@@johntitor4250 You don't say? :P Bro, I have this game on 100% for several years, with about 500 hours played - meaning, I can trust my own experience. ;) On Deathmarch, wraiths are some of the most annoying enemies.
For the whole “master sword” thing, I just wish you could go back every 5 levels and be like, “it’s getting harder, I need this sword to be better than better” and he would upgrade it and make it to your current level but super strong, or whatever. Something like that
Ikr its just pure insult after all that level grinding just to play his mission he gives you a piece of crap weapon while you have better swords from doing contracts
I did the hattori mission when I was level 16 or 17 for some reason. Was actually the best decision I made in the game. It actually made the mission make sense since I got a good sword for that level.
For the first wraith quest you had to go down into a well and swim around, I never swam before and I didn't realize I could jump up and get past the foot high ledge keeping me in the water
It's 5 years on since this video and that wooden prop sword (that you have to get for a mission) tricked me too.....last night....while trying to fight a vampire and dealing no damage! When I finally realised what I had in my hand I could have cried.
This guy sounds like he watched the gameplay instead of actually playing and thought “yeah I think these are the things Witcher players would probably hate about the game”
For me its listening to Dandellion summarize every time I load the game or fast travel to a new area its cool the first couple of times I like it, especially when its a new scene, but, fuck, if I hear "Wounded and Tired, Ciri fled to the swamp" one moe time
I remember fighting a cyclops for a hidden treasure in skellige, it’s like the giant knows exactly how to push me through the edge for the umpteenth time.
Those narrations whenever you fast travel from one region to another/ whenever you load in to the game. Seriously hate how you can't skip em. I still have cold sweats remembering " The witcher's contact in Velen was to be Hendrik......" Whenever I lose a round of Gwent and have to reload my save
I noticed that sometimes and it's really annoying. I'll be like, "Alright, time to fight this monster" and Geralt will start punching him, even though I had my sword out 5 seconds ago. What's up with that?! I know I'm definitely not accidentally sheathing it
I am a few years late but regarding your first point about the wraiths. The first mission with the noonwraith before the battle the game points you to the bestiary, where you can see that the best tactics are to use Yerden and specter oil.
This is what RPG players hate, newbies who can't fucking read a tutorial and get mad at the game mechanics just because they are too dumb to find out how to kill one spesific monster.
On this specific quest with the first moonwraith or whatever its called they made Geralt himself say to him self should probably look into my notes for a weakness. I guess somewhere along the line CD red got tired of idiots and said fine put it in for those dumbasses in the next patch
That's exactly it. A lot of gamers have short attention spans. They're also usually the people who lack the patience for dialogues in RPGs, and will fail to enjoy this game all the way.
Those statistics might not be correct, as i played game 2 times (broken bones first time, then with mods to make it more difficult) and GOG says i played game only 30 hours
When I accidentally fail a quest. I didn’t know how to switch quests when I first started the game and once I finished the main story in white orchard I couldn’t go back and do them 😫
I went into a cave and had to fight SIX of those fucking wraiths when I was only a level four. I was so sure I'd die. Somehow I managed to win, but only by a hair. Literally, you almost couldn't see the red in my health bar. And I'm SO glad I immediately saved after the battle, because after a few steps I fell two feet and fucking died. I swear Geralt's legs are made of porcelain glass.
@@seihaiteamfs7333 I hate Velen as a whole, such a shithole... That place depresses me (and props to the devs because I am sure that was their intention).
I remember there was a location in skellige where you have to jump across a broken bridge but there was water underneath so when you jump geralt decides to do a diving animation into the water its so annoying
I had one monster fight where Roach just could NOT get out of the way. Like to a degree that it was hindering the fight because every time I got a blow on the monster, Roach shoved me out of the way.
@@crestfallenwarrior5719 yes. The crossbow isn’t given to you for nothing. Shooting from the boat. Shooting under water. shooting shooting shooting (almost as if we’re in an American school) And if you meant it as a joke then r/woosh me.
I hate how there’s some sort of monster every 3 god damn feet like I have no idea how regular ass people in this game don’t die every time they step foot out of a village.
But they do, half of the contracts are like: “my son went to pick flowers in the forest 50 feet away and hasn’t been back in days, can you find him?” *does mission* “I’m sorry ma’am, your son got eaten necrofages”
Mr.Paperbag seeing as you guys’ comments are the most recent i found i want to tell you guys that I started playing this a little while ago for the first time and im level 10 and i want to say that I NEVER LOST A GWENT MATCH so yeah,good quarantine guys
Never had a problem with wraiths. Don't remember if they explained everything about them during the Devil by the Well mission, or in the Bestiary, but they definitely did. Plus most wraiths can be hit without yrden anyway. Just the Noonwraiths can't
