When you mentioned you thought he was the bad guy, if you listen to the words of the song, he IS the bad guy to the monsters. They write nursery rhymes to scare their offspring about Witchers.
Thanks for pointing that out! Both this trailer and the 'klilling monsters' one really show that Geralt isn't a hero. So often they're watched so superficially...
@@AK01445 LotR absolutely did not start everything. Many of the races and monsters alone existed in various mythology well before both LotR and DnD were even thought about.
Especially orianna featured in the trailer, SPOILER FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T PLAYED BLOOD AND WINE DLC, DO NOT READ ON FURTHER. Finding out she orphans kids to feed off them is really messed up, shame we couldn't kill her.
so.. in case you missed that.. the dude with the sword was the witcher.. tldr the thing he drinked (that would instantly kill normal human) was a potion to turn your blood into ''acid'' of sort.. cause he knew she may try do bait him and drink his blood.. which she did.. and that was her fatal mistake :) it still is a great videogame :D
@@blackguardharper7005 You have saved millions of lives by doing that. English is a universal language. People who are foreign speaks it. Don't expect people to write/speak it with perfect grammer. Even if his main language is english, you should't do that.
The Girl was a particularly dangerous breed of Vampire called a Bruxa. (In the novels, Geralt has slain at least 1 other Bruxa) A Witcher is a Professional Monster Slayer, mutated by potions and training to be faster, stronger and more perceptive than the rest of the slow witted (by comparison) humans. Geralt (Said with the European Hard G as in Grass) is a Witcher nicknamed the "White Wolf". While not immortal, he is very long lived, being over 100 years old at the time of the TV series. The games come later still, after his supposed death.
@@supereffective8292 Nope. She is a bruxa. A higher vampire ain t that easy to kill. Only 3 higher vampires in this game and she (Orianna) is not among them.
@@michaljagiello1970 its stated in game by geralt’s vampire friend, i cant remember his name, before you go meet her that she is indeed a higher vampire like said friend and detlaff
My favorite part about this trailer is that you can do literally everything they show here in game. Most trailer show exaggerated moves that doesn’t even happen in the actual game. First thing is you obviously take contract for any kinds of monsters. 2nd he drinks a potion that’s in the game which you use in similar ways he did in the trailer. 3rd he uses a bomb that also does the exact same thing in game. 4th he uses spells which you also use in game
"I thought he was the bad guy ", thats what makes this story so amazing it explores perception and substance with in human nature and the monster in is all
This is one of the best game out there at least in my option, you guys haven't heard about the witcher neflex series too. the witcher universe is one of the best fictional world i seen so far. i can still remember the 'bloody baron' quest as well as the 'witches of crookback bog' quest like that was a movie or something, best in game quest i ever did👍
A lot of people had problems with the gameplay. It took me a few false starts before I got into it. Now it's right there with Mass Effect as my favorite gaming experiences ever.
First time I played it I sold it, never got into it...until I saw the steam sale, was a literal steal. From here I tried pushing through the slow start and as soon as the first boss (not spoiling) I got into it so much, the lore, learning a creatures weakness, the signs, potions. Man, this game is so god damn good
for me i enjoyed the beginning and then started to lose steam so i just started doing the main story missions. but, once i got to the crones it sucked me in and i 100%ed it. velen is just so damn good. and i know everyone loves hearts of stone(I do too) but, blood and wine is my jam. i love vampire lore in almost everything tho.
The witcher 3 is easily my favorite single-player game out there, and one of my top favorites period. Well written and every single "side-quest" is an interesting story of its own that makes each npc feel like a person in that world that has their own emotions/personality. I have to replay the game at least once a year... beat it multiple times and after a couple of months it's back to the beginning.
Probably the best story driven game ever made in my opinion. The base game is excellent, but the expansion/DLCs just 11/10. One of them is actually where this trailer ties in to the story aswell.
"Anybody bought that game let us know in the comments ":D Yeah. They sold like 50-60 mln copies worldwide. One of the best games EVER. Regardless of genre. It is like a national treasure in Poland.
If you play the game, you will realise it's nothing like GoT. A whole other world entirely, an amazing one at that. When i first played the game, i got so immersed into it, that i missed 2 days of work because of it. No regrets tho
I've played this game solidly for 5 years... and I'm still finding new things every single time... truly one of the greatest games of all time.... and actually I've just started re-watching GOT lol
Both cinematic trailers are ingrained into the game. You can miss the references though. In any way it is good. It deserves the won awards and praises.
I know I'm late to the party here. Just laughed when you asked if anyone bought it. Greatest game ever made, lol. Of course, you can't just pick 1 aspect about it that is amazing. It takes around 150 hours to complete and there is so much going on in those 150 hours that it would be impossible to pick a favorite or even try to explain just what makes this the greatest game ever. Though if someone had a gun to my head, I'd say, "the writing".
It is the greatest game ever made IMO. It is scary, spooky, action packed, hilarious, thought provoking... The list goes on. Buy it, buy the DLC's, and just go crazy.
Witcher 3 is fantastic. It replaced Skyrim as the modern RPG benchmark. I remember what hooked me is just how much story and thought was put behind my first major encounter, the noonwraith. To this day I still like to open up a youtube video of Witcher music and just close my eyes and drift away. I can still clearly visualize myself standing in a swamp at night, listening to and seeing the wind blow all the trees under the silver moonlight. I also love GoT! I tend to like this dirty, gritty, bleak, medieval fantasy setting with a lot of moral grey area rather than the high fantasy 'everything is magical and it's clearly good vs evil' LotR feel. There is also a Witcher TV series where I think they just finished shooting season 2.
Everything he does in the trailer, you are able to do. The grenade, the concoction he drinks that burns her when she bites him, the force field, the push, that's why the teaser is great because the game doesn't fool you with cool graphics. You can actually do everything he did! Cool reaction!
Yeah, you do realize this is over 6 years old now, don't you? That being said, get it and play it! It is one of the best games ever made especially if you like RPGs. Oh and Game of Thrones was fine right up until season 8 where they ruined it and wasted everyone's time Edit: Make sure you react to the cinematic: Killing Monsters from the Witcher 3
The Witcher trilogy is widely regarded as some of the best money you can spend on gaming if you have any interest in RPGs. Fantastic product quality, many hours of entertainment, solid story, voice work and audio design and some very enjoyable DLC to round it out. It's not for everyone, but I'd almost consider it a must-play. The Killing Monsters trailer for the Witcher series is also a very good piece of content to react to, highly recommended.
Geralt of Riva known as the Butcher of Blaviken or the White Wolf identification mark 2 swords one for people and the other silver for monsters. With Game of Thrones, nothing to compare, especially that Witchers defend dragons and do not kill intelligent creatures, even if others perceive them as monsters. I really recommend that you won't be disappointed, the Witcher is like a game of thrones on steroids.
this game is insane...the writing is insane,and i'm not just saying it about big things...even details and smal talk can be extrsordinarely well written .
You have is backwards...Game of Thrones has Witcher vibes. The Witcher story came first, and is much older, and better than GoT. All 3 Witcher games are 20/10. Have enjoyed 100 plus hours of each of the Witcher Games.
you guys seemed really confused in the part where Orianna bit Geralt's neck and suddenly she became out of focus. it's because of the potion that Geralt drank before entering the barn. it's called black blood and it's highly poisonous to vampires(yes, that woman is a vampire). I will also assume that you don't know what a Witcher is. they are mutant and one of their ability is to being able to consume toxic potions and withstand it and being able to enhance their senses, speed and power. that's why Geralt was fine when he drank the potion even if it is poisonous. and is Geralt a bad guy? well in some instances but he is definitely a good guy that even him cannot admit. PLAY THE GAME so that you can understand it. and since you said you love game of thrones. i'll give you a little trivia. one of the characters in the game was voiced by Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) BTW THE GAME IS ALREADY 6 YEARS OLD
The witcher 3 is probably one of my favourite games it looks very good has good queests. And also got alot of enemie's to fight and they even made some dlc's for even more content if you want. But Game of thrones i kinda dropped it after a few seasons i wasnt very interrested.
One of the best games I've ever played. The story and dialogue are absolutely on point and really draw you into that world. Lots of quests that really make you stop and think. You play as a Witcher, which are professional monster hunters. The twist comes from the fact that you're a mutant, there's various Witcher schools all over the continent who take orphans and put them through an extremely brutal training process. Then they're alchemically and magically mutated to be faster and stronger than normal humans. Oh and don't forget the cat eyes to see in the dark. Throw in extremely good swordsmanship, teach them basic magic and throw in some potion brewing and bomb making and you've got a Witcher. The catch here is that the vast majority of the young orphan children who go through this extremely brutal and painful process end up dead. Those that survive have been emotionally stunted, either through the mutation process or from watching almost all of their friends die brutally at a young age. Add to that a medieval level society that's extremely superstitious and Witchers are treated pretty poorly. Probably also doesn't help that Witchers are mercenaries by nature and it's right in their code not to help anyone unless their paid. But it's really up to you to prove people right or wrong.
I did buy it and its honestly the best game i have ever played. i think the only downside i had with it was how big the game was, there was so much to do. xD
That is not a downside in this case though. This is not Skyrim where 90% of the content is garbage fetch/kill quests. Sure if you want to complete all the content it takes a lot of time, but the extra/side stuff is for the most part stellar in comparison.
@@mattroxursoul its a mix, i love thats its a big game, but it also took a looong time to complete and i had times where i stopped playing and it took awhile for me to get back in it. ^^
@@Supes97 Yeah, a lot of people were disappointed at the original ending. Bioware went back a little while after release to fix the issue around the original ending that was so unpopular. For instance, my play through was enjoyable and the ending, though not ideal, wasn't alright. It felt like a complete story.
I would not say Game of Thrones, maybe in some aspects. The Witcher games based on a book series written by a Polish writer called Adrzej Sapkowski in the 80's and 90's and though GoT is a fantasy as well, The Witcher series and the games at the other side of the spectrum, because in GoT there wasn't really magic and a bunch of monsters and elves, gnomes, dwarves etc. Anyway great game, one of the best games that I ever played. It changed the story driven - open world RPG genre for sure.
There's a reason for this, I didn't go too far into the lore of witchers themselves but I think it's cause they gave away their humanity for power, so everyone judges them for the fact that they sold their humanity for power work for money, and only for money That's why people also call them greedy, as they only kill what has a contract/bounty on it
@@3nvyjust3nvy96 they didn't really sell their humanity, did they? as far as i know (without reading the books, for now at least ;) ) they were the price adults payed for a job. so they had to go with the witcher as a kid and undergo the mutations which only 2/10 people survived. feel free to correct me if im wrong though ^^
Buddy it is probably one of the best games ever made, the lore the story telling the game play the depth the scope of the entire game you could spend 1000s of hours playing this game and still not get every different ending every weapon armour so many different builds and ways to play the game it’s endless
You could watch The Witcher series on Netflix too, also on RU-vid are The Witcher cut scene movies from the games that are cut and spliced together into movies, some up to 5 hours long, very cool to watch.
I just played this in ps5 cause it had an offer and its the best game i played for me its better than demon soul even tho i completed it alr still haven completed this game yet :D
This monster is a Bruxa - a higher order vampire. Vampires in the Witcher world are much different than normal lore. Most are literally sentient land-bound bats. When she notes that "In times past, a Witcher would never take this contract" she is correct. Witchers are strong, but still start as normal humans that undergo mutations, they are far from superhero status. Higher order vampires are something that can easily match or exceed even the most powerful Witcher.
