I've grown to love your reviews, they get better with every entry. I still come back every now and then to watch the old ship reviews. They still make me laugh after all this time. Keep up the good work.
@GiRayne Role-Playing is not defined by the aspect of creating and getting into your own original character, getting into and Role-Playing an existing and pre-defined character made by someone else is just as much Role-playing as a full freedom sandbox. Because that part, trying to embody the character your playing, trying to make decisions based on what you know their personality and motivations are... that's the Role-Play. Creating your own character and deciding all those things, that's just char-gen.
@GiRayne At that point it's mostly just preference. Video games as a medium are limited, and without a DM/GM that can adapt to your character decision on the fly game developers have limited options on what they can anticipate and prepare for. Games like ES allow for a lot of freedom, but the amount of feedback the world and story can give to your choices is limited because the developers can only foresee so much, like you can marry who you want in Skyrim but every NPC gets the same generic dialogue. Even with mods most of the role-play is an idea in your head, not something that actually happens in or is reflected by the game world because it is incapable of doing it. I like the more free form games like ES, but most role-play will always feel stilted, because the world can never really reciprocate to you as anything more than Vaguely Generic Adventurer Person. Even games like PoE, or older games like BG1&2, PS:T, etc, generally restrict your freedom in how you play your character, choices you can make, because they have a story they want to happen.
When I first played this game I was held back by constant crashes. Then years later I downloaded it again and with years of patches and myself having matured a bit more i was finally able to get into it. And loved it.
I said it few times when Cyberpunk was coming out, and I will repeat this here too. Crunch in poland is not the same thing as in US for example, you get paid for all overtime hours, double if you work in weekend, and by law you need 11 hours of rest between each shift, and you can't work for more than 48 hours a week, so in standard 8 hours a day work, you can work at best 2 overtime hours a day. And they get paid in hundreths of onioncoins (known more widely as Polish Złoty) for these overtime hours. I'd LOVE to have a crunch like that!
@@TheYamiks yes. I work as a CG generalist (not in CDPR tho) and we experience crunches ourselves. I know the stress that comes from it, but it's my choice to stay longer (yes, by law you can simply not agree on overtime hours) to get properly compensated for that work. And crunch is not the only thing that can be stressful, almost all jobs are stresful. I'd rather work in CG and bear the stress of crunch now and than than work in Amazon where they will shit on me every day for no reason.
@@TheYamiks well to be fair these people are working by choice and no one is forcing them to do anything. It's not a crime, it happens in every industry, just videogames have been the target of media for whatever reason. By the way great video I will be checking it your others and subbed.
@@ambidex5383 are you KIDDING ME? same shit was covered by Jim Sterling a LONG while back. Tell me.. if your boss says : it would be nice to crunch next months... and you refuse. What happens to your job? You get tossed aside if not fired outright. You do know how real world works right!? Point is : in gaming industry people dismiss many bad things ether because it's new or "that's how others do it" or some other inane reason. We should talk about it and we should advocate for workers rights and wellfare , esp when companies employing these people make money hand over fist and can afford better!
@@TheYamiks Poland has strong worker protection laws [like no, you can't be fired for refusing to work overtime] but... a lot of them don't apply to contract workers and from what I heard cdpr had a lot of those under them, so yeah. Crunch is bullshit regardless thou, and you get kudos points from for Sterling ;D
Yamiks, in fact you always can use SovietWomble's argument about being "professional" - you're doing it for life and money. None said you should be "professionally good" at it.
This game to me is about experiencing the life of Geralt in this fantasy world. It's the game version of reading the books. I personally thought it was great. As long as the game is I was sad to reach an end and not know more. If you're the kind of person who yearns to know what it's like to live in a different time as a different person you'll love Witcher 3 and the stories it has to share and experience. If you're looking for deep engaging combat and don't care about talky talky... Best to move on.
A review nicely done Yamiks. Personally, I prefer first to 3rd person but I found this game enjoyable because the story drove it. Having a 43" screen 18" from my face helped the immersion quite a bit and when I've had my fill of GTA & 7D2D, I may go through this one again. I might take it slower, I might make different choices, but I can't see the enjoyment of the story being any less.
I am the kind of player who usually does not give a damn about story in videogames, and curses at the mere sight of unskippable cutscenes. But Witcher 3, along with ME trilogy, are examples of story done right, and the dialogue breaks in W3 add a lot to the game. But, to satisfy the gamer in you, I suggest you: -mod the hell out of the game, as it has one of the biggest modding communities, second only to Skyrim probably -absolutely get the "no level requirement" mod, as level requirements are really stupid in W3 -during the prologue go make the snake swords, and get the temerian armor. Also, if you find some random lvl12/13 sword you can be a bit OP for the prologue -after the prologue go make yourself a mastercrafted set. Doing that (with said no lvl req mod) is one of the most enjoyable things in videogames, as it is quite the endeavor, and it is greatly rewarding. You should get the griffin set, such that you use more signs. Spam quen for heals and protection such that you do not need to roll as if you were playing DS, and spam igni. Because it is fun. Remember there are a lot of materials and money to be looted if Skellige. For that set. Go do that and make a second review. Edit: I just remembered that along with that roll you are spamming, there is also a dodge. Bind that to Alt (I suppose dodge is on Space) and go spam that instead.
Hey Yamiks, did you realize there is an in game "card game" in witcher 3, which has quarter of total player count of Elite dangerous on monthly basis? Not giving the name to pump curiosity :D
Same first impression also came from many shooter game players I know. They're so used to fast paced actions. They said that it's "too long", "boring", etc. For me, who's slow at shooter games, I enjoy the lengthy nature of The Witcher 3. I like to dedicate summer and winter holidays to play the witcher 3. It's like binge watching TV series. Good review.
I know you can cheese the game with the roll…but there’s just not a lot of incentive to do so. It’s not fun…you have so much more options in combat, yet you went with the dullest and slowest method of butchery.
Same for me. i bought it, played a couple of hours, got so bored i left it. They should have done something to get you in the game instead of dropping you there and letting you figure out what the hell the game , the world and everything is about. That was 5 years ago and the video doesn't give me any desire to reinstall it, if i have to soldier on for tens of hours before starting to understand wtf is happening. When a 1h30 movie has a 50 minutes intro, i walk out too.
Nice Video, but i never thought someone making vids about ED would need 3 tries to figure out that the story is the witchers main focus xD glad you could enjoy it in the end.
Don't know if you meant it the way you said it, but it is the "WHY"! Story gives meaning and a reason to care. It's why books are a thing, LOTR ASOIAF DUNE SWEU D&D hell even Dragon Ball. 'even if super ignores true meaning now' There needs to be a reason to care. For me FPS have so little of that. Shoot the bad guy. OKAY... Why? For everyone saying "There is a reason in my FPS" I say " Show don't tell. Exposition is lazy"
Yamiks, amazing video. Well said that the game is indeed about the story and interactions with the characters not direct gameplay. It took me 2 tries before i understood that the game was about the story not about the combat.
@@Jurgir09 then why even watch a movie when you can read the wiki synopsis, then why even read a book when you can read the wiki synopsis or then why go to a concert while you could follow it online. Do you get why your statement doesn’t work? It is the experience of the narrative and the emotions it brings, it is an interactive well crafted story. If that is not for you then it is not for you. And yeah main idea* of the plot is simple, but the world, story’s, theme and the characters around it are highly complex and make it amazing. The story, dialogue and voice acting is objectively good and been analysed and explained by thousands of article writers and TH-camrs. I could link you 2 hour analyses of the dialogue options, and different endings of even small side quests.There is a reason why the game has been marked as one of the best narrative based RPG ever made, that doesn’t mean your opinion is bad, but it also does not mean it is an objective truth
I agree on most points though I found a lot of the sidequests were tedious and boring with a healthy dose every board filled with murders and whatnot that happened just a day or two ago. Then there are the stupid skulls, oh this peasant is wearing a hat and is weilding a rotten stick. Yeah but there's a skull above his head be prepared for a fight harder than the the wild hunt. No I'll take kingdom come deliverance any day. Better story, better combat, better dialogue, better customisation and more freedom.
@@TheYamiks The marvel game apparently meets that criteria, I didn’t personally play it cause it did look garbage but GOTG was good. You should do a vid listing your personal favourites, I think that’d be interesting.
I find myself not being particularly impressed by Witcher, probably because they have so much more time compared to other games to accomplish the story element. I still consider it good just lacking the greatness that other games with good story's like halo, half life, soma, outer wilds, to the moon, chrono trigger, and probably a few more that slip my mind atm. To the moon in particular is only 4ish hours long and I consider it probably the best of all the games I mentioned.
For people how think base game is to esay ore simply in the search of new challenges try the mod "Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition" ore short W3EE... Complete different game play... And complete different combat system.
Great review and I have the same issue with the game.. the actual gameplay is very primitive. BUT! It's load of fun due to the story. Also if you install it in polish.. that is when you gonna get the trve slavic experience.. :D I just can't let it go in polish.. :"D
I don't hate cinematics, I just hate Hideo "wanna be movie maker but isn't really half as clever as he thinks he is" Kojima cinematics, as for the Witcher as much as I love it the combat is just not good enough, the roll is, as you demonstrated, too good.
@@ambidex5383 It's a good game, most of them are and I enjoyed them, but the stories are so overated it's not even funny.

@@gs8494 I have seen far worse movies that get decent reviews than what you'd have if you just watched MGS 4's cinematics straight through. Hideo has recently stated he wants to make movies Soo. But I do see what you are saying, and his messaging is so focused on proving his position on the topic at hand it may not be for everyone. Edit: it also appears at least to me it was intended to be laughable to alleviate the seriousness of the topics.
@@ambidex5383 I don't doubt there's far worse movies out there, I'm pretty sure I've watched a few, :D but for me Kojima isn't a particulally good story teller, he certainly has film making ambitions but I wouldn't be in a hurry to watch them unless he gets good screen writers to reign him in, ordinarily screen writers take too many short cuts when it comes to adaptations and get it wrong, but in Kojimas case they'd be necessary.
Cinematics shouldnt be there because they are dividing the players perception of gameplay dynamics. We hate either the fights that are taking us out of the story into boring gameplay, or we hate the boring story which we forced to follow instead of having some action fun. And since the story of the best game is genuinely a shit in comparison to mediocre book, we tend to value gameplay higher than the story. Just look at those dialogs built around a few words in short sentences... Or the plot where Heralt lost his memory just to introduce him to a new audience. And make him being able to fuck everyone. It is one the most cheap and retarded ways, intellectually speaking, which we may find in too many media entertainment stories.
Really, I love the fact it's not a constant "action game" The dialogue and exploration is the highlight for me, the mediocre combat (if you decide to play shallow and not use available options) is the filler. Story is the main focus of TW3 and that was the intent.
You're not supposed to just hack and slah through the game fast as you wanted, you must be committed to the game and pretend that you are geralt. Your choices through the game have an impact in the ending. Fps games are emotionless "going through the motions" games. Here you must put your heart into the game my friend. Remember you are role playing and pretending you really are the white wolf.
"you must" are words that don`t belong in gaming, if I feel like pretending Geralt is The Grand Potatomuffin and all the demons are minions of a transgender snuffleupagus, that`s what`s going to happen ;)
Totally agree. If you let yourself get into the story of games the experience can be so much better. Great video

Man I saw the title and had 10 seconds of hope that this was Joseph Anderson's video i've been waiting a year for

Personally I'd say Witcher 2 combat is the worst. It's basically a shitty prototype of what we got in 3.
Witcher 3 a discount Skyrim? ...maybe the other way around...maybe

You're not supposed to just hack and slah through the game fast as you wanted, you must be committed to the game and pretend that you are geralt. Your choices through the game have an impact in the ending. Fps games are emotionless "going through the motions" games. Here you must put your heart into the game my friend. Remember you are role playing and pretending you really are the white wolf.
"you must" are words that don`t belong in gaming, if I feel like pretending Geralt is The Grand Potatomuffin and all the demons are minions of a transgender snuffleupagus, that`s what`s going to happen ;)
@@afrog2666 You're right "You must" is such a totalitarian word lol I enjoy pretending to be geralt and it makes the game experience so much more fun!
The story? Seriously?
