Why The Witcher 3 Is The Greatest Open World Game of All Time 

so you guys not find this game boring as fuck? there are just dialogues and dialogues. combat is shit as fuck. plenty of sex and gore. the world is beautiful, and well detailed. no doubt. but the game mechanics are just plain boring fuck.

GraaBos Fuccua i hope you are joking

@@curtleyambrose100 I agree mostly.

1368 hours myself this is and always will be the best open world rpg ever cept maybe when cyberpunk comes out combat is great play on death march with the hud turned off or ur just a pussy the world is beautiful ..buy a better pc...the dialouge and voice acting is great (it does have its flaws) but i find myself 3 years after release playing every day and always trying to redo the story as any alignment whether it be neutral good or chaotic evil THIS GAME IS PURE ART

@@curtleyambrose100 great dialogues, a lot of all sort of weapons, amazing plot, amazing monsters in every corner to kill (or spare), intrestings sideQ, beautiful world (as you say) CDPR fix every bug in the game, the combat maby suck if you did not upgrade your combat system, amazing characters. Based on Poland's mythologies. What's your promblem with sex and gore are you kiddo?

You sayd it all 5*

HoS just had good writing, content was not that much more than dlcs from others devs BaW now that was a masterpiece

@@audd4889 BaW is better than most full games, let alone DLC's

DLC? What the hell are you talking about? Those were not DLCs, they were entirely new games

Quinten Well there’s your problem: you fast traveled everywhere. There’s no fun in that.

Dark souls?

Mass effect?

@@roadtosinging5062 with you on dark souls but mass effect?

@@elhomo6406 I'm saying those are trilogy that can hold a candle to the witcher trilogy

Tenshi 天使 same here, until i played rdr2. Neither is better or worse overall, but in the same league imo

Are you still playing

The Last of Us is much better

@Warm Soft Kitty hating and trashing like this makes you feel like you sad boy.

@@TheMjolksMinecraft Last of Us ? Better than Witcher 3 ? Tell that to audience. Witcher 3 is a rpg. Way better than a linear 6 hr story like last of us. Deal with it

Warm Soft Kitty isn’t it omg Witcher is bad fortnite is so much better imagine not having a battle royale XD

Let's not forget the amazing asses in the game

Fact

Hopefully no more cyberpunk delays

@@willr542 ... trouble in paradise. It's been delayed again - because they can't find anybody with a big enough dick to do motion capture for the essential character choosing menu .. where you get to choose your genitals. And thanks to Covid - nobody is allowed to travel from Cambridge UK to Poland at the moment ;)

@ no no no that would mean wont be as good as witcher 3 which sucks to even think about it.

@Fëanor Cürufinwe yeah ikr that mission was amazing for how mysterious it was. It happened to me i killed the wrong person and on my second play through i couldn't wait to play it again and make it right lol... It's amazing how one side mission can be played over and over.

@axel axel yeah it's crazy, especially in new game plus lol

hesam moaref i bought it about 3 months ago and i thought it was okė.....not great

play it some more and really get in to the game and u will see what i mean

Cantthinkofaname well you’re prolly still on white orchard

I don't know how to enjoy this game.Can you please tell me.

Another problem is I don't know how to enjoy a good story and I don't have taste in story.

Eric Fartman I really hope that you’re trolling.

why? it is.

Really i am a huge fan as well never really gave witcher a try was to obsessed with destiny at the time gunna give it a try

BotW is great, but unbelievably overrated.

Play both and I like Zelda BOTW better. Many bugs with The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt even with latest version 1.3.1 and still can not jump when in combat lol. The Zelda has better control, shrines, physics, system, peaceful feeling, than The Witcher 3 but The Witcher 3 has better story, graphic, quest, soundtrack, voices, war emotion ... Still do not like the last battle with the Wild Hunt they could make it better than the battle of Kaer Morhen.

That was insanely good. The fact that they had an entire scene where you get a mini concert is insanely cool.

u and me both bud!

dark souls 4 will be way better kid git gud

sure sure :D

waiting also. the trailer it will be soon like cdprojekt red said

Aman Malik taught*

My all time favorite DLC is the blood and wine

It`s crazy how the game, being a completely different genre, absolutely shames even other games of other genres, like purely narrative-driven games or sandbox action games. It reminds me of that one friend taking a shit in the cabin next to you in high school and throwing his used crumple of toilet paper over the wall trying to hit you with it. It just reaches out of its genre structure with its depth in so many aspects.

Well....got some bad news for ya

@@tosksquad lmao

Like shit!

Why ? im about to buy this game and i played rdr2 for 4 times haha

John In my opinion I believe red dead was amazing with the story and Zelda: Breath of the wild was amazing in terms of gameplay but the Witcher 3 has to be a perfect mix of story and gameplay while also having the idea that your actions matter in that game since it doesn’t just leave your consequences to just the way the story ends like it did in red dead

@@ohiodoesnt_exist6690 i bought the game hope its as good as rdr2 or even better.

@@johnkennedyreyes2634 how is so far?

@@On3bOy Tbh not my type of game i injoyed rdr2 more

What is mini game ? Except play gwent card,play boxing,play horse racing

yeah cd project cant make another witcher but lets hope is at least 60% good as wticher 3, that ll make cyberpunk masterpiece also xD

@@puregreekweed CDprojecktred announced a witcher 4 game, they said it will be released after cyberpunk 2077 with another witcher as protagonist.

@@t-t8961 in what planet did that happen?

@@puregreekweed in whatculture gaming channel and many more , just search announcement of witcher 4 what culture gaming and all the videos will show up but the protagonist will not be geralt

matternicuss I still feel like the game could have been much better without the open world though. Doesn't really benefit traditional story based RPGs like The Witcher series. Pacing, urgency, and development time are all sacrificed and that is not the steps RPGs should take especially not like The Witcher games.

Gamer Singer I have to respectfully disagree :) For me, the storyline perfectly lent itself to an open world. Geralt is searching for his long lost 'daughter', but has very few leads. This means that practically anything he does, whether it be taking on a contract, or assisting the local lord could potentially put him on the trail. From a role playing perspective it made perfect sense, and as a fan of this series since the beginning, and knowing the search for Ciri would come eventually, it really immersed me in the game world. I can't think of an open world RPG with better storytelling than Witcher 3. Sure, it's a slow burn... but what a payoff! Whereas The Witcher 2 especially felt like a film in terms of pacing, Witcher 3 felt like an epic novel.

matternicuss ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C5qzFU17_js.html

Gamer Singer is that supposed to be your rebuttal? I've seen that video already, and while The Witcher 2 was easily my favorite RPG of that generation (6 completed playthroughs here), I think Witcher 3 bests it in every meaningful category.

matternicuss So why are many, especially major Witcher fans, agreeing with me? I didn't see what was so special about The Witcher 3 at all honestly. The open world was just a poor excuse to appeal to more people and it's design was nothing great. Just felt like any other Ubisoft open world honestly, just a lot more space, which in this case, isn't a good thing especially with it's default way of littering the map with points which destroy the very reason for exploring in the first place which is just bad design in general for any open world. There is also their use of tons of copy/paste points of interest that become very repetitive after a very short while. The combat design was pretty mediocre and clunky overall especially with the indecisive lock on system and the lack of true variety in it's combat. I do agree it is a good solid game but it is blown way out of proportions especially among RPGs. I seriously doubt The Witcher 3 can be fairly thought of as that amazing of a game overall really even among other RPGs like Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, or more modern RPGs like Divinity Original Sin series and Pillars of Eternity which do not have to try something they are not supposed to be to exist as a great RPG in general. CD Projekt Red should have stuck with what they were good at instead of trying so much and only getting a certain part right. But I suppose we will just agree to disagree. No need to draw this out so much since it isn't really all that important but I do worry for the way many developers like CD Projekt Red will begin to think when they are actually led to believe that this is the direction RPGs should go now. I deeply respect the developers and the game but it being praised so much for something it barely even does is not a good way to go about all this. And I truly do want their next game Cyberpunk 2077 to be the best it could be. If they do opt to make it open world, which I hear they will, then I hope they have learned from other proper open world games like Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild on how to do so in the right way.

If BioWare was a Sony first-party company, instead of an EA company it definitely would have

I do really hope that they give The Witcher an nice and deserved loooong rest. They already made a perfect game that closes the history. Let's see if they can be as good making another game, I hope so!

Felipe Correa yeah I agree, I think at least give it quite a few years in between games if they are thinking about developing another one. Masterpieces do take time to craft

Witcher 3 is my favourite game of all time with red dead as second so I agree.

I think red dead 2 is better but thats just me

@@cameronmuise14 that's alright. People can have different opinions.

Agreed

I’ve been playing both recently. I love them both

Bejdza Sorry I'm from Sweden so my words aren't great :)

Grammar Nazis spotted

Henry Medeiros your theory is flawed since ocarina of time never have microtransactions. And it got released in full aka no dlcs......witcher 3 has 2 main dlcs

Witcher 3 DLCs were developed AFTER its release, nothing was cut out of the main game

wait for TESVI

James Wilson The Witcher EXPANSIONS combined cost around £30 and take a combined 40 hours to complete. Add to that the base Witcher game takes 100 hours to complete, and it’s all top quality content. Zelda: BOTW takes an average of 30 hours to complete and costs £45. The Witcher “expansions” are bigger than the entire BOTW, and better than a lot of other games main offering. My point being is that the Witcher expansions were good enough to be main games on their own and are worth every penny. Also it’s not stripped from the base game meaning if you don’t want to buy the Witcher expansions or you can’t afford to buy them, you still get a massive, COMPLETE game at the base price. There’s no problem with selling expansions as long as the content is not stripped from the main game in order to sell it back to you at a later date. And on many occasions with games these days, you need to purchase the dlc in order to get a proper ending to the base game. You should be praising The Witcher, not criticising it. CDPROJEKT have shown how to make a complete game, and how to properly make expansions.

Half life ez

Nowhere close to that even. The game's open world was awful and had no incentive to explore it.

Pulse Gamin Lmfao you obviously didn’t play the game.

@@runningkago4793 I played close to a 100 hours, trying to make my money's worth.

Pulse Gamin The game literally has hundreds of points of interest that give you loot, you will encounter a bunch of monsters and side quests by wandering, and there are treasure hunts and such that tend to make you explore an area or fight a difficult enemy, there is plenty to the open world. Much more interactive than something like gta5.

@@runningkago4793 Where is the exploration aspect with just following question marks. That isn't exploring, that is simply going to the next marker using awful movement mechanic with Geralt and the horse. Not to mention that it lacks variety; Seriously, the bulk of these question marks are Bandit Camps and Monster Nests. Don't even get me started on Skellige where 90% of these question marks are Spoils of War with crap loot to offer. GTA V offers sandbox freedom that this game doesn't. You can actually explore because everything isn't marked on the map. The map is filled up AS you explore. Even games in its own genre do exploration wayyy better like Baldur's Gate. Witcher 3 is an average game with a decent story. No clue how people think it's the greatest game of all time.

Big fact.

Yup, red dead 2 came close to matching the witcher 3, but the witcher 3 is still the king in my mind. It might be a long time before we get another game if this caliber again.

@@BasePuma4007 It's all subjective. After playing Bloodborne, Witcher 3 felt like a chore due to the combat.

Is the worst game in the world, is boring as shit

@Ib7 h same

It's not exactly the most controversial pick, eh?

Not in that Genre. Gothic 2 ( German Open-World RPG) and Sykrim are up there, but that´s pretty much it. In my opinion at least ;)

that's actually what i'm doing lol

@@josiahcowans6649 enjoy it brodi!

What's the name of the background music?

Andrew Labelle thanks very much

Yes bro, this is the best game I've ever played and it's not required for you to play the others

nathyq also, if you’re curious about a character you’ll be able to read about them in the glossary.

Edwin Medina thanks very much mate

Unlucky Benny cool thanks mate

Play Hearts of Stone. I just beat it last week, my god, even more captivating imo. Haven't played Blood & Wine but everyone says its arguably better than the main game.

Keep It Zen I have both but I have not started either. Plan on doing to soon

Yes

blood and wine is seriously the best dlc ever made for any game. it has about 40 hours of gameplay and the story is just as good as the main game maybe even better.

TrappinPanda the house was so great to have, especially with my Geralt of Rivia tourney armor next to with a shield and a painting of the slain griffin on the wall next to it looks great

You still have around ~100 more to see everything in the game ... in the first playthrough.

xet happens where does it say how many hours have you played

no i think as an open world exploration game skyrim wins witcher 3 wins in terms.

UnkeptMoss328 I play it on my PS4. Never encountered a single frame rate drop. Loading times are a pain though, and I did find a few bugs here and there, also graphics are not as good as PC of course, but that's what's expected when open world games are ported to consoles. Overall, the game is very well done, even on consoles.

Prakhar Mishra if you have never encountered fps drops you havent gotten into novigrad

George Dasen you are right. You can easily see drop in frame rates in Novigrad specially when you go to Square. But overall the game ported pretty well. I absolutely hate the loading time though.

The game kinda lags a bit and frame rate issues because there are some bugs but as long as it runs well I still play it

It really is a good starting point. I started at the W3 in early 2017. With the opening cinematics, a couple of in-game lore books, character bios, and a dozen or 2 hours of story/sidequest gameplay, I felt like I had a good grasp on the world and characters (besides Ciri) I just beat ♥️'s of 🗿 not too long ago. AMAZING. Currently playing through the Witcher 1. Witcher 2 is already downloaded. Once I beat those I'll be playing Blood & 🍷as sendoff.

Rasuke11 gr8 b8 m8. Kitty ass? Well done

a goat 🐐? ._.

Greatest of all time

In story yeah it's better than botw. But it's open world just feels restricted compared to botw

It's a huge tragedy that a large # of people will never play those parts because they'll never have the time to make it thru the base game of W3 :(

Sounds like my list. Maybe throw in Morrowind and the first RDR in there for good measure.

So did I. But I swear i will buy cyberpunk for its full price after release date

Yeah i remember pirating the game and then felt really bad and then went ahead and bought it for full price

MojoPlays BABY! Stick around we got a brand new lease on life!

red dead 2 has far better open world but the witcher 3 has better choice making both are great games that aim to do different things.

Red dead 2 is suppose to be slow paced. The world feels way more alive than the witcher 3(witcher 3 does it greatly too but red dead 2 does it better ). The story and the writing is brilliant but witcher 3 does it better. Arthur is a way more human character than geralt (geralt is still my second favourite protagonist of all time). Red dead is filled with detail and I dont get what you mean when you say its boring. Different opinions are a thing though. Overall I prefer the witcher 3 with dlc than rdr2 but damn I'd be lying if I say both arent great.

??? Witcher 3 can't even compare to RDR2. RDR2 has way more than W3

@@Taschipthen let's just agree to disagree.

@@seanisgone5413 Wasn't responding to you

Didn't age well

I feel exactly like you. I must say that the only game that I can compare in terms of master design and totally mindblowing storytelling is Planescape Torment, and I think TW· will age so much better than that.

armored roach fears no mere mortal! But fences... oh god not the fences!

I just beat during summer, it's great. And the DLCs are even better.

Keep It Zen blood and wine is the best dlc of all time period

Antelope, where have you been last 10 years? :D

Savage Antelope i pirated the game and played quite a bit loved it so much bought the game and the best part is the game detect the pirate saves as legit save so yeah can continue the story also

Yunior Gamboa i bought it 2 years ago and still havent played

@@SonPham0205 I gave it a shot but didn't like it

It's very dialogue-based, if you want action it isn't really a game for you.

I felt the same when I played it for the first time. As you dive into the game it becomes more and more interesting

If not more even.
