The Witcher 3 Did Something Incredible 

We can all agree, nothing hurts more than seeing Kaer Morhen empty.

Clicked for a Witcher 3 video, got a Skyrim and New Vegas video

I think another thing worthy of note is how outstanding *Witcher 3* soundtrack truly is. Don't underestimate just how much atmosphere and mood gets delivered through the music in conjunction with the environment and narrative. The Gwent music were so motivating I was convinced the threat to Ciri's life is nowhere as important as the Gwent world championship.

The witcher 3 is a good game because it made you into Geralt. This is extremely rare since most rpg these days let you create your own character. But starting off as a the main character and feeling like you're him? That's old school story telling at its finest. The sensation that you're feeling can be comparable to reading a good book, or being read to as a kid. The game also tackles how humanity act at its weakest and ugliest point, examples are the Baron's quests, and Fyke's Tower quest. There will be time where you have to make a decision to choose the lesser evil, which one is the lesser? Completely up to you to decide. Free the tree spirit? Or let the children get eaten so you can save Hannah. And as you continue on the path to kill monsters, you'll start to ponder who's the real monster. Wraiths only appear when there's an unfulfilled task left behind by someone who died violently, botchlings are created when a still fetus is bury without a proper funeral, and the eternal fire cult is on a hunt for a scapegoat. It was human that created witchers in the first place to hunt monsters, yet as time goes by human started calling them freaks and monsters. All of those things are thrown at you as you look for Ciri and trying to keep the world from freezing over. And at the end of the day, people will still treat you the same even after you saved their world. This is call life.

After beating this game it was extremely hard to get into anything, literally hard to find game I could enjoy.

witcher 3 is one of those games where after finishing it. you just sit there as the credits roll by, reflecting on life.

I remember how for years I didn’t think anything would best skyrim. Then I found The Witcher 3.

I legitimately struggled with depression for a couple of days after I completed Blood and Wine, I was so sad that The Witcher 3 was over. It's the best game I've ever played by a wide margin, and I don't say that lightly. I'm almost 40 and I grew up playing The Legend of Zelda on the original Nintendo, and I've seen almost every RPG since then.

"The Witcher did something incredible" *Proceeds to talk about other games for more than half the video*

Not to mention the good use of their dialogue animation system to make hundreds and hundreds of conversations look natural and unique from each other. Talk about pouring heart into their work, CDProjekt Red is THE shit.

I'm a huge gamer but so far nothing has come even close to the Witcher 3 and it DLC's, CDPR has set the bar way too high for the upcoming games in my humble opinion

When i saw yenefer sitting on a bench in front of our wine yard, then there is no more quest or any other mark on the map. Then suddenly there is tears in my cheeks. Man, wish i could forget about this game and play it again for the first time.

This fucking game ruined all other RPG's for me after being a fan of the genre for almost 20 years, its that fucking good

Finished the Witcher 3 and have spend around 150 hours playing and no second of the playthrough was boring. Its a True Masterpiece and no other game had me hooked like that in many years. I was kinda sad that i finished the game, i'd gladly spend more time in the game and even play more quests and if there were any left. Now, im asking myself wich game can beat this game and get me hooked like that again. I fear, that there would be no other game like that. I'd like to thank CD Projekt for an awsome game :).

One of my favorite memories playing the Witcher 3 was how it took me 2+ hours to get to the next main mission. This is because on my way to the quest I kept getting side tracked by side quests upon side quests and different Witcher contracts each more fun and interesting than the last. It was only until I FINALLY got to the main quest I realized the sun was up

If you wanna skip the intro: 8:22 is when the video starts :D

You know there was that one hard core Mass Effect Andromeda fan that looked down in disappointment when he realized it was a joke.

I've been playing games for over 25 years. I've completed all the greats: God of War, Tomb Raider, Secret of Mana, Super Metroid, GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, Fallout, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Arkham Asylum, Mario, Zelda, Call of Duty 4, and Final Fantasy. I came to terms that I am never going to play a better game than The Witcher 3.

When I was about a third of the way through the game, I had a twenty minute discussion with my wife about how "the Baron" subplot could have been it's own game; it was just that detailed.

The Witcher 3 did something that can easily be summed up in one statement “It spoiled me” I cannot view another game that is remotely in the same genre without thinking about Witcher 3

Best game I ever played hands down

Witcher 3 is the best game I ever played

Bloody Baron quest is still even to this day the most impactful and emotional storyline in any game

Even in 2019, playing through The Witcher 3 is an absolute pleasure. In other games I find myself skipping dialogue, in this one I am constantly finding new details to appreciate in everything from the different textures to the detail of each characters face. The world feels like it's alive and breathing, I literally can't help but play for five hours or more whenever I open this game. No other game makes time fly by like this one. I sit down promising myself I would only play one quest and five hours flies by. I have heard that CDProjekt Red is working on a new open world RPG for release in 2021. I hope that is true. The only other games that came close to the escape that The Witcher offers was the Mass Effect series but for now all I can do is replay Witcher 3..

I picked up Witcher 3 in a Steam sale 18 months ago and never played it until a month ago. I haven't been so emotionally invested in a story since The Last of Us

Unless you want gaming ruined for you don't play The Witcher 3 because no other game can match it.

The moments in the game that got me thinking are the flashbacks like after returning to Novigrad with Ciri the flashback plays - "Hatred and prejudice will never be eradicated. And the witch hunts will never be about witches. To have a scapegoat - that's the key."

Witcher 3 is the best game of all time, and the dlc is the best dlc ever, imo.

Gwent > Fallout 4

Can’t wait for cyberpunk 2077

who's still playing the game?? i just finished everything in velen for the 5th time xd

I was so hooked on Skyrim, I was wondering what game would take the mantle, along came Witcher3, the rest is history tonnes to do meaningful conversations and a true lived in world , then the 2dlc’s came out , Hearts of stone was good but not stellar. Blood and wine then raised its head and BOOM stunning world , beautiful to behold and the main quest was huge , it could have been a game itself . I honestly think it’s the best game created. It’s got everything, be prepared to lose months and months with this game especially if you get the GOTY edition with everything on it , I’m doing my 3rd go of it after buying a lovely 4K tv and upgraded to the X box 1 X game took on this much sharper look with better textures and overall gorgeousness it didn’t have on my day 1 Xbox fat , your gaming ‘career ‘ isn’t complete till you delve into this world , enjoy people, I’m jealous of those who haven’t played it yet , jaws will hit floors !!!!!

To me Skyrim's open world and The Witcher 3's open world feel very different. In Skyrim I feel driven to explore purely for the sense of discovery that each new spectacular vista and town brings. By contrast, the witcher 3's world is generally much more subdued and grim (though no less breathtaking, just not in the same way as Skyrim), and so the driving force for exploration is to discover new interesting quests. The witcher 3's quest writing is absolutely unmatched. I have never encountered a game where even insignificant characters feel so alive and believable. I was even floored by how many random merchants with no side quests whatsoever are given absolutely unique personalities, especially in Blood and Wine.

Witcher 3: Game of the Generation!

The only complaint I had about the Witcher 3 was that the NPC faces and voices got a bit repetitive, but that was way into the late game. Still the best game i've played this generation.

The only game that’s truly satisfied me since the Witcher was God f War

pam pa ram

I have over 350 hours in the game and I’m still loving it. The lore for this game is just amazing. I love everything about Witcher’s and can’t wait until it’s brought to life in the upcoming Netflix series!

"The Witcher3 did something incredible"is an understament!

I started playing it December 2019 got the game and both DLCs for less than £20 and I love it what a game!! Played about 50 hours level 18 and still only at the second island

Too much Bethesda action in this Witcher video

Witcher 3 Best game waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 now

Something that I love and he doesn't mention is the fact nearly every single quest is actually intriguing and/or has an unexpected twist. Even the lowest of the lowest sidequest, where you hop around the place doing fisticuff, had me in stitches when they make you face a bear and Geralt just says "oh shit...". Or investigating creepy bellows in a crypt, expecting some strong wraight mob, only to end up resolving postmortem marital issues. They never let up and thus I was always excited for the next sidequest. That in itself is also incredible.

It's as if Witcher 3 has become a stage in my life I have lived this adventure through Geralt with Geralt as Geralt🤘

Just be warned, this game will ruin you! After I finished it, all I could think about was playing it again bc no other game really comes close in my opinion. I even bought a ps4 pro to play the exclusives I never had before like Uncharted 4, Until Dawn, and Horizon: Zero Dawn. (All were great games in there own way, and Horizon may actually have the best graphics I've ever seen in 4k, with awesome combat & storyline,) but it still felt like something was missing. There's a void left in me that no game has filled yet since The Witcher 3 (except for its amazing DLC's which almost felt like there own games, especially Blood & Wine.) So now luckily, enough time has passed that I'm able to enjoy different types of games again, but there's still a Witcher shaped hole in my gamer heart. (And the only cure is more cowbell... Jk) But I do hope CDPR either nails it with cyberpunk, or surprises the world with a new Witcher game soon. So heed my warning & play at your own risk!

When I played through the Baron's story arc, I knew I was now playing the best RPG I had ever experienced.

Best game ever...got lost in it for months

After playing Witcher 3 for the first time recently, I cannot go back and play any TES game the same. The two are just not the same. The Witcher 3 is just better than Skyrim in every facet. It is such an amazing game.

Witcher 3 is one of those games where EVERYONE needs to play, even though ironically, it's not meant to appeal to everyone. Its content, gameplay and overall game design is actually somewhat niche, yet it's mainstream. If there's one thing I have to complain about and this is me being nitpicky as hell as an old-school RPG gamer, is the lack of Character Customization and development. Then again, Geralt is a predetermined character with a predetermine backstory and personality with an entire saga of novels to back it up. Can't really do much without deviating from the source material. That being said, the choices you make as well as the dialogue in the Witcher games is more or less what Geralt would actually do/say in the Witcher Novels. Cyberpunk 2077, on the other hand, is a completely different story since the game has a HEAVY emphasis on Character Customization and development. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if you could completely generate your character's backstory similar to the Mount & Blade games. CD Projekt made something spectacular with the Witcher games and that's not including their stance on DRM, DLC and their loyalty to their fanbase. CD Projekt is what the industry as a whole deperately needs and I hope other developer follow as well.

Its so amazing, the soundtrack, atmosphere, emotional scenes, landscapes is why i decided to buy wicher 3 plus the 2 DLCs. And the game outlived my expectations massively

>makes a 10-minutes video supposed to explain why the Witcher 3 is incredible >only 2 minutes of the video are actually devoted to The Witcher 3 Well done, lad. -_-

Agreed. I haven't finished my first play-through, and I'm already looking forward to starting over. It's pretty amazing.

i randomly bought the witcher 3 on steam not knowing what i was getting into. 2 weeks and 100 ingame hours later i finished the game for the first time and my jaw was dropped when i played through second time because i found so much i hadnt done yet, and dont get me started on the dlc.

witcher 3 is simply the best game EVER made. if there's a game i wasted a WEEK playing, literally day in and day out, this is something incredible

The Witcher 3 is simply the best game I have ever played (and I played many). I just finished it!! And now I bought the goty edition just to play with both expansions 😍

The bloody baron questline is probably the best way to be introduced into the world of The Witcher

I honestly am still baffled how they pulled it off. Looks like it would take 20 yrs to create such a detailed game.

The part where you mentioned Mass Effect! Haha I actually thought you were serious for a second. xD Great video!

YOU sir, have absolutely hit every nail on the head and have blown me away in these past few minutes. Not only am i NOW going to play but finally give Witcher 3 the opportunity it deserves, to enjoy a whole open world role play game ive been looking for. Thank You.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be the next one

One of the best games ever made

This is a game where I didn't actually skip the text or conversation stories and followed the lore

Vodka and Slavic magic vs 30 million $ budget Aka cdpr vs ea

I’m 8 minutes into this video and now I feel like playing Skyrim

The Witcher 3 is my all-time favorite video game. It really shows the true potential video games have as a storytelling medium and I don't think we're going to see anything else like it for a long, long time.

I seriously recommend reading the books to everyone who got completely enraptured by the Witcher 3. The short story collections and main novels have all been officially translated. After finishing a 3rd playthrough, I decided I wanted to learn all there was to about Geralt of Rivia and his story. It was one of the best ideas I've ever had. I'm writing this because I want more Witcher players to understand and give credit to the true mastermind behind it all, the creator of The Witcher, Andrzej Sapkowski. Don't get me wrong CD Projekt Red put on a masterclass on how to take a story and make it their own and delivered one of if not the best narrative-driven RPG's of all time; but we wouldn't have this masterpiece without Sapkowski and his brilliant story-telling. I once again greatly recommend the books to all the die hard Witcher fans out there! Cheers!

Played witcher 3 for the first time in 2017 and fel in love with. After finishing it I was not able to play anything for 6 months. Witcher 3 is a master piece. Playing witcher 3 right now October 2018 second time. And its a even better. Witcher 3 hands down best game ever.

1:07 Geralt fighting with hatchet is blasphemy.

I avoided the witcher 3 for a long time because im very picky when it comes to the games i like to play. I typically like to play open world rpgs that allow you to create and customize my own character. I just find myself getting immersed in a world more when the character i play is one of my own creation. So anyway i kept hearing from friends and people on youtube about how awesome the witcher 3 was. Even my own brother told me that he liked it almost as much as skyrim. So i bought it and downloaded the goty edition or whatever its called with all the dlc and started playing. Immediately i was sucked into the world and just found myself getting lost in it for hours at a time. And ya you dont get to create your own character but theres so many different armor types and weapons to choose from and i really enjoyed questing for new items and doing treasure hunts which made the immersion even better. I always play all my games on the hardest difficulty possible because i like a challenge and it makes the games more interesting when you actually have to try n figure out how to beat ypur opponents. I died so many times in the beginning i loved how challenging each fight was and how there were different ways to take down each different type of monster its just amazing. But for me even better than the things i listed already was the story line and side quests. Omg every sidequest just felt so purposeful and meaningful i never felt like i was doing a fetch quest or wasting my time and thats why i just couldnt get enough of it. To this day i think ive sunk more than 1000 hours into the witcher 3 and am on my 3rd playthrough. If you havent tried it i highly suggest you do yourself a favor and play it. Amazing game, amazing story and keeps you interested from beginning to end.

I've been gaming since ET on Atari. Witcher 3 is the best game ever made, so far. Just my opinion.

I remember getting into RPGs properly a few years back and consistently heard The Witcher 3 pop up in any best games of all time discussions. Bought the GOTY version last year in lockdown and was just blown away. The emotive and morally challenging storylines, combat, absorbing characters and protagonists such as Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer along with the sensational open world were so impressive and impactful. Some of the quests & major moments still stick with me now, and both the main game & final DLC are so satisfying on completion, I actually applauded when I finished it. I recommend this game to anyone. It has forever changed the way I view games, and this is all after one just playthrough. The Witcher 3 is an absolute masterpiece

I love your honest sarcasm, many content creators lack personality! I'm on my way to watch more of your vids bro keep your shit up its cool

If any game should get a remaster, it's Fallout: New Vegas.

i know the secret, its Geralts voice....

What I resdiscovered in more detail was while replaying Witcher 3 on my Series X in 4k, was how often I stopped to pan the camera around to observe Geralts beautiful hair and design flapping in the wind with either a gloomy forest in the backround or some beautiful vista overlooking a river. The atmosphere in the game was so immersive and done so well. You actually got scared in certain situations because of how well designed everything was. All types of monsters added to a spectrum of terror that was just so well executed. You felt strong, but you also could be overwhelmed.

Geralt and yen's relationship and the last wish quest, for the first time in my life, have me invested in a fictional relationship. The way they act for eachother, you can feel the love. It makes me think of my wife, who introduced me to this game. We got married just a year ago. This game, some people say it ie overrated. But if a game, can get me and my wife emotionally invested, in a game and eachother, then its by far the best game out there.

The Witcher 3 is without a doubt the best game ever made, I placed New Vegas at that spot before but Witcher 3 really surprised me

Witcher 3 is the pinnacle of great storytelling in a game. In a age where developers care more about microtransactions and multiplayer function The Witcher 3 stood out profoundly to me. I don't think I have ever cared about a character in a video game more than I cared about Ciri.

This is a video that I discovered randomly 5 years ago, it made me discover my favorite game of all time, and it's also when I started following you

Just great video, i enjoyed every second of it. thank you Luke!

Hey Luke, really enjoyed the video and can agree whole heartedly. The Witcher 3 for me is something i wish i could re-experience again for the first time (even re-obtaining the Platinum i have for it) as there is no other experience (personally) for me that can rival it, maybe other than The Last of Us or Dark Souls 1 (Different genres i know). CDPR created a masterpiece, yes it's not "Perfect" but as close to it as can be. The fact that Hearts of Stone was 15 hours for me, and Blood and Wine was 30, on top of the 60 i put into the main story with side quests, is amazing, and no sadly no games moving forward, will warrant such a full experience in terms of scope, depth, enjoyment and simply - having fun again while playing video games. I bought the collector's despite the price, knowing i was in for something special and i am so glad i did. Moving forward CDPR hands down has earned my trust, and anything they make from here on out, will warrant an immediate purchase no matter what. They're so transparent with their responses to questions and adamant about making "Quality over Quantity" games that puts faith in Cyberpunk 2077 being another grand experience to rival that of The Witcher 3. Also this was there first attempt at an open world game (TW3 - from what i've heard) and they did a great job.

I agree with you and you did a good job on explaining what the Witcher III did achieve. Besides being one og the best if not the best game I have ever played - I must say, after completing the whole game, exploring every questionmark and done every quest - I now see one of the biggest strenghts also as its weakness - since all the great storytelling has been used and is now gone, the world feels so empty, i can still wander around and gaze at the landscape of skellige islands or the castle in blood and wine - but some of it's original charme is gone :-( I wish there were random quests and way more options to still interact with the characters and environments - even after completing everything there is to do.

I got to the last boss in Blood and Wine, once he transformed, i was so hyped and sad at the same time that this was my last fight, so i started the game over right there to start NG+. Ive had the witcher 3 since it came out and still havent beaten it all out of choice, its like saving a good wine. I can see myself as a grandpa taking my old games out like old wine to my new gen grandkids then i can say, they dont make em like this anymore son.

THE WITCHER UNIVERSE is one of the most beautiful games EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If onLY I could download myself into it!

Played the Witcher twice & all I can say is it has slightly ruined gaming for me lol. I find myself comparing everything to the Witcher even genres that aren’t anywhere close to it. I was friggin playing cod the other day thinking “man if projekt red made this it wouldn’t be complete trash”

I think this game is slightly underrated, it deserves to be more popular

I finished this one recently, and I could not find the game I will enjoy like this one. Truly exceptional.

"Medallions humming" "Best I've ever played, it's gotta be"

Rename this video "why fallout: New Vegas is the best Fallout"

Game Of The Millennium

very well made video, i can tell you put a lot of work into it. Fantastic points, and nice mass effect reference xD

I didn’t want the Witcher 3 to end is hands down the best game I’ve ever played.

It did everything incredible I recently got in the series like 2 or 3 months ago and i have invested like 500 hours in witcher 3 and its dlc...too bad there are no more games like this

People say its the best RPB game ever made, I say its the best game made period. The story, the graphics, the side quests, the abundant free DLCs the great Heart of stone DLC and the amazingly vast, breath taking Blood and Wine DLC make it THE BEST FUCKING GAME EVER. All for a great price. I mean the Blood and Wine DLC alone is longer and larger than ENTIRE TRIPLE A GAMES! Its an game within a game, its fucking ridiculous! It made EA, Ubishit and the majority of the large publishers out there look like thieves and liars. Nothing surpasses the main game, add the two DLCs and you have the best game this entire generation has seen to date. Thankfully CDProjekt Red seems set to release another major earthquake in their next game. Cant wait.

It took you 2 years to realize the greatness of this masterpiece...

Jan 2019, still haven’t played a game that made me feel the way The Witcher 3 did

Greatest game ever. IMO hands down

HELP ME! After playing witcher 3 I just can't play any other game. every game I tried so boring compared to it

Honestly spot on. I played the Witcher my senior year of highschool, I fell in love with the world, played new game plus, all the old games, watched lore videos, and I read the book, and theres a place where I live that looks exactly like what I pictured the Edge of the World to appear like. I listened to a song called "Empire & the Sun" by the moth and flame and I would picture how Nilfgaard broke the nation of Temeria and the absolute defeat and sadness it made you feel seeing all those broken people

See polish people can do things what are giid
