The vibe is even more terrifying in the books, there was a part where the temerarian army raided a village and women even children were impaled on stakes, with markings like "Nilfgaardian whore". Shit is so messed up. Think it was when Geralt and the company was travelling to Nilfgaard
@@moeenhassan6600 to be honest as opposed to the popular opinion, I really hate the show, even Cavils Geralt didnt do justice to the character I loved.
+Writer Shard I can't friggin WAIT. I would have started a new game plus by now but I don't wanna get caught halfway through the game and find out that I can only do the new content at lvl 60 or something.
Man this song is depressing and yet very emotional. While free roaming the barren and destroyed land of Velen, just seeing the horrible sight of mutilated bodies from an aftermath of a battle, people crying to their lost loved ones, and the countless numbers of corpses hanging while this theme playing in the background makes an accurate representation of what the horrors of war is like....
indeed, but it was also beautiful and fitting, when you looked up in the morning sky, while the wind blows Geralts hair. Both beautiful and sad. I guess just like life
Pooria Karami Really? How many games have you played? Two? That same year came out Bloodborne, which by far surpassed the Witcher 3, and I love this game.
@@misaeltoral508 Couldn't agree more. Bloodborne is definitely in my top 5 videogames of all time. That doesn't mean I don't love The Witcher 3, like you said.
This game literally ended an era for me. Gaming is now pre-W3 and post-W3. Nothing has ever come close to Witcher's level, and I think we'll see its like maybe once every decade.
Umer Farooq seeeee about that I’m playing rdr2 and obviously there are points which made my jaw drop but I don’t believe it matches the quality of the side quests in Witcher 3 or the level of customization. The world is beautiful and arguably more beautiful and I love Arthur but he isn’t Geralt i feel like I love them for different reasons but I do love Geralt a lil more (I’m only on chapter 4)
I was peacefully studying but then I end up crying hearing every piece of music that gives me so much nostalgia. I can't believe we grew up so fast. Everything just seemed like it happened yesterday
I love it in so many ways, but for me it was more a graphic novel than a game (like The Walking Dead). The controls were crap ever since TW1 and the RPG elements/gameplay mechanics not the best either. Getting stuck in open doors or being unable to step over small stones was really embarrassing. The same goes for Roche getting stuck in walls and don't get me started on the fighting mechanics. On the other hand, I'd call it the best game, because of the story, quests, characters, graphics, music and all the emotion the developers managed to put into their project. Its world is IMHO one of the most memorable ones in gaming history and I can't get enough of it. From a gaming standpoint it is for me: Gothic 1-3 (was ahead of its time)>The Witcher 1-3 (obviously)>>Dark Messiah>>>Fallout>Skyrim. PS: the last two were really disappointing to me and I didn't finish them (broken quests, bugs and boring story...). Honorable mentions should go out for Dishonored (wold and gameplay) and AC2&3 (world).
The witcher 3 is not a game. It's truly a work of art. You don't have to play it to enjoy it and I personally think playing it yourself just adds another element of immersion. Also, my family are not into games at all but even my mum had to sit down and watch me play for a couple hours. I mean, she was watching it standing up for like 20mins and then she was like fuck it, where the popcorn at? like she was about to watch a movie. No ordinary game can make my mum sits down and watch. Not to mention her annoying commentary lol
Same lol This song always reminds me of when we meet the knight's of Toussaint for the first time and by the time i reached that point i already feel like restarting the game because i miss all the main story characters😅😪
Never thought I’d still be thinking about a game like this 6 years after I played it. I was 15 then and can recall all the nights I stayed up to 4am roaming Velen and Novigrad, competing quests, contracts, and whatnot. Such good times; what I’d give to experience it again
What makes it so good and memorable is not that it is objectively perfect but that it makes you feel you are actually living in this world and living the adventures
Kenan Dinchman completely ignored all villains from the books who were 100x more evil then eredin and crones xd but peobably haven’t read then which is massive shame
I have no idea what I should do in my life after this masterpiece. The deepest emptiness inside me. The real life has become gray. I'm positive that we will never see a game better than The Witcher 3. And all we can do is replaying it over and over.
@@OnlineMadSkillzz2 They're both great in their own way. Rdr2 improved some aspects of witcher 3 but also had some parts which aren't as great as Witcher 3. But they're both great games.
@@kazimkabir6620 I don't know, I fell like that's subjective. They're both very different games and their gameplays have no similarities. Only thing they have in common is that their stories are frickin amazing. So whether or not Yakuza is better or worse than The Witcher 3, depends on the person playing it.
@@lekalla nationalists,globalists... they're all same scums. who are trying to fill their pockets. if you played witcher proper way you would see that.
This piece takes me right back to when i started wandering around the fields, weird and astonishing what strong emotions and memories a game can bring, I feel like i lived it for real, I took my time to explore every atom of content the game offered, read everything... Now i can't replay it.
Come back and play it again now. I have just replayed it and I can honestly say it is better the second time around. Hearts of Stone alone is reward-worthy. Fucking masterpiece of a game.
Truly I wish I could’ve enjoyed Geralt s story with the first two games, but like many people I was opened to the world of the Witcher only by the 3rd game. Still it was a privilege to be able to experience that single spectacular game.
Tried out Witcher 1 myself but only got through entirety of Witcher 2, and read the short stories and half the novels, just couldn't wait long enough to play :) Still not sure if I made the right choice sparing Letho, but man... seeing him return in Witcher 3 and fighting back to back against the Wild Hunt in Kaer Morhen. That was bloody spectacular! Then sh*t happened, and I lost Ciri... Cold vengeance on the last crone, and living on in Beauclair, I felt empty when it all ended. But, I'm going through the final books now, and New Game + awaits... Such a marvelous game and story. I hope CDPR will remake Witcher 1 at some point :)
It's a surreal feeling, a mix of beauty and decay... it's hard to describe an old oak decorated in hanging bodies in the sunset as beautiful, but it is.
No matter how many years pass, I dont think there will ever be a better game than Witcher 3, when I finishes Blood & Wine, I felt so happy and relaxed, yet so hollow, because I knew that every single rpg I'd play in the future, will not even come close to Witcher 3.
The best part about this game in my opinion is looking at the landscape plus listening to this song, makes you want to live in this world... the rivers, the drowners wandering around it, griffin in the skies... just simply a beautiful game.
Mesmerizing and full of sadness at the same point.... they say music transcend the spirit of those willing to listen closely..., well if it s the case..., this soundtrack is one of his best representative.... Thank you for this masterpiece probably stuck in my head until i die one way or another....
venus sacra This isn't modern art. Modern art is when you spill a bucket of paint onto a piece of paper and charge £1,000,000 for it. The Witcher 3 in general is an emotional but accurate account of the horrors of war and realistically depicts complicated relationships and the raw truth of life that there are no happy endings.
Tbh there is a happy ending though , it's more like an ''Every choice has a consequence and we all have to make sacrifices during our lives'' scenario.
since witcher 3, i have never seen a game with such a good story writing, including the side quests not rdr 2, not assassin's creed, no game was ever able to beat this one
It's crazy when you think about just how much better Witcher 3 is in every regard compared to all other games out there. I mean nothing comes even remotely close and probably never will. CDPR created a timeless masterpiece that will be forever unmatched.
Yeah. I dont know if will ever get a better game... i liked horizon zero dawn a lot, mass effect 1-4, dragon age inquisition are also good... but not quite there....
Witcher 1 was a big part of my childhood… Being in a deep depresion and sorrow, Witcher made me feel like I belong somewhere. Geralt was my idol, back in the days and remained later on. I will never forget those nights spending with game, and going to school next day without a minute of sleep. For some its just a game, but for some its soo much more than that. Witcher 3 is a masterpiece i experienced with so much nostalgia and emotion. I belive it influenced me in such a way that made me the person I am today. Beacuse of those reason Witcher is always gonna be my favorite game 🦄
Never have I been so sad and happy to play this game. After playing the Witcher 3, I can’t find joy in other games like how I did in this game. I could still enjoy some of them to some extent especially if the music and character writing are good but man, this one is special.
This game hits different for me. I played through this during one of the darkest spots in my depression and this soundtrack reminds me of just walking across the countryside taking the atmosphere in.
Fuck me this OST tho! I haven't been this in love with a game soundtrack since the old days of JRPGs like FF and Crono Trigger...Thank Gawd for CD project Red!
+CDN salsa Yes!!! This is one of the last thing I'm proud of in my country... haha just kidding:) But still one of the best games and soundtrack of recent years, no exaggeration in it :)
I remember finishing the main story and this music was playing as I was wandering around Kaer Morhen, feeling sad that I'll miss those dialogue cutscenes with my friends :(
By far best game of all time, i still cant find something that replace it on my heart and i dont think i will ever find it. I wish i could delete it from my memory to play it again without knowing the story♥
It has been five years, still can’t get over it. Doing maturita exam this year, the feeling is so strange listening to this soundtrack. Wish me the best...please.
I played this last night while having a relaxing much needed spa night. I used an under eye mask, lit a candle and turned off the lights. It was heavenly.
Walking peacefully in the forest.. all of a sudden noisy crows croakings and huge branches digging up the ground, and this fucker appearing right in front of you. Damn it scared the shit out of me the first time.
I was wondering through the woods on my first playthrough when a Leshen came at me out of nowhere. Died instantaneously and it took me a minute until I realized what happened. XD
I dreamt they had in the future created a "the Witcher" in which Vesemir youth was shown. With all gaps and things never shown in the game from a 200 years ago age, it would sure be heartbreaking to see an Eskel and a Geralt boy in the retirement of the the Witcher Vesemir at Kaer Morhen. (I did not read the books so maybe I am just writing nonsense, anyways... so sad this had come to an end.)
I am not huge fan of fantasy, anyway acidentally I get books and read them all. Awesome story and the possibility to play TW3 as a continuation of the story was amazing. Now when I am listening "the Vagabond" it makes me so sad that the story is over. Next game with Vesemir would be great idea.
Dark ,gritty, dirty. Never had a game created such a realistic feeling about its environment . There is no point on playing other games after the witcher 3.
Im grateful I got to play Witcher 2 and Witcher 3, this saga was truly a masterpiece I will never forget. Witcher will bring me great memories for the rest of my days!
@@wolfgangkrebl3056 try to play more than 5 games in your life I completed the Witcher with 100% of Steam Achievements after spending 250 hours and I can say that this game is gameplay garbage (only the plot is good in this game) I would rather play AC Odyssey already in the 3rd playthrough than go through the second time The Witcher 3
@@CrimAnn1662 i have been playing games since 1990 and i am pretty sure that i HAVE played more than 5 games. Then why don't you tell us what you did find so horrible in the gameplay of witcher 3. Could not be such a bad game if you've played the game for 250 hours.
@@wolfgangkrebl3056 + good plot -bugs that haven't been fixed in 5 years - Disgusting map (Treasure with a monster of level 5 and after 150 meters a lair of monsters with Nekkers level ???) -Skelige -The gameplay is also trash (for the need for potions, - you need to play at maximum difficulty, I hate this approach to complexity, it either should not exist at all and the game should be at maximum difficulty without the ability to change or to make it fun to play on normal difficulty) If all I wanted was a plot I would watch a game on RU-vid / read a book / watch a series (although this is complete garbage)
People say that combat is bad and all that, to be honest I dont find it bad at all, the story...the immersion, the fact that you care about the characters and get sentimental, the music and the landscape you forget this is a game. It makes my brain sink into the world and even after I played it the second day I still have the music in my head, still dreaming about this world, this is more then a game, this is what art looks like...this is the result of hard work, that is why for me Witcher 3WH is the best game ever made. Work that you put love into it can only result in a masterpiece like this.
Even though many who have already commented were years ago already by now.. I just want to thank everyone here, I feel very understood when I read your experiences. Finishing this game was like falling into a void, for me an even deeper one because of the nightmare I was living in real life at the time, finishing this game was like losing a friend you know you shall never see again. An amazing friend, with whom you made so many absolutely great, fond memories. I wouldn't trade the memories I have, nor the intense emotions that come with it, for anything in the world. It's been 5 years since I started playing this masterpiece of a game at the very day it came out. I remember telling my mother I had already reached level 6/7/8 when I stopped playing that day, I played the enitre game on my xbox stationed and connected to the TV screen in my parents' bedroom. 5 long, yet at the same time short years ( I was 15). People at CDPR and the phenomenal musicians who worked at this game, if you ever read this, I want to thank you from the bottom of my being for this game, and world that you together have created. Again, it's been 5 years, but Geralt, his friends, his wife (whomever he had chosen in your experience), are my friends, and shall forever live on in me. I immerse myself back into this world, and I try to forget at hard as I can, that it is not on earth and that I will only ever be able to visit it in my dreams and thoughts. You have created a world so great that I have a hard time accepting I will never physically meet Geralt of Rivia, my friend and hero. Thank you, truly, you have made my life a lot more full and more wonderful than what it otherwise would have been. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
One day the graphics of The Witcher 3 will look ugly and outdated. But the music will always be beautiful and it will always take me back to the nostalgic feeling of playing this game
If other games were songs The Witcher 3 would be a symphony, because it's art in so many levels, like other great arts it touches all the right buttons. Best game ever crafted. I didn't know I could cry with a game until I played The Witcher 3. The music, the landscapes, the characters, emotions...
I just started to play The Witcher 3. It's something amazing... I spent 2 sleepless nights in this game and I can't wait to continue this wonderful experience in the next night... Sorry for my english...
@@theguy3129 Thank you for a question. It is even more than just a game for me. It is something like a different world where I spent around 2 hounderds hours. I am from Ukraine. And as you know we are in war with russia. So, the previous year was full of bad news for me and every ukrainian, but the game helped me to dive my mind into a good thoughts about a wonder world of Witcher.
I just want to forget everything about this game, just so that i can experience it for the first time again. And the same whenever I'll want to play this game again...I'd say it's an incredible game, but it feels like so much more than that.
