The beard growing as the video and platinum carried on is still the best idea I’ve ever come up with. Can’t wait to relax with a drink to this video, top work Adam
This is my favorite game of all time, glad to see you enjoyed it so much. Really hope we get a platinum bonus episode with you doing the dlc. Hearts of stone has a fantastic story, and blood and wine is a superb addition the size of most normal games.
I really love that there isn't a single character who is just the clear good guy. Even Geralt, the main character, can be cold and dismissive to some struggles after he looks at both sides of the conflict. "Evil comes in many forms. When it comes to a choice between two evils, I'd rather not choose."
Earned a sub here. Love the relaxed conversational format. Most of TH-cam seems structured around fast short attention span-appealing videos. Quite like the calm and measured delivery, as a contrast.
Welcome to the channel. Yeah, I treat these more like documentaries. More of a deliberate pace, let folks take a breather from what they normally see on TH-cam.
I had the exact same reaction when I got to Skellige. Hearing the Northern Irish lilt and the stunning scenery made me feel like I was in Ireland somewhere. Great video man, one of my favourite games of all time glad you enjoyed it!
This Video is Perfect! Such a Great Work. Witcher 3 is one of my favorite Games and to see that you showed how beautiful this Game is was a pleasure. Thank You! ( Would be nice if you do Bonuse Episodes for the 2 DLCs they are great )
I’ve seen a few Witcher 3 platinum videos and they just seemed like they were playing the game for the trophies alone, not to immerse and enjoy the game. As a fellow trophy hunter, and the Witcher 3 being my favorite game of all time, it was nice to see someone making a platinum video give this wonderful game the playthrough it deserves. Well done sir, first video I’ve seen from you and a sub earned!
What a great video man. Following you from a few months. Thanks for all the love you put into this videos. You chose the music so well. Greetings and cheers from Spain. I make platinum content too!
Thank you. Welcome to the channel. Music is such an important part for me, normally spend a day or two finding suitable tracks for an episode before editing. Ah, España! Mucho gusto. Tengo amigos de España. Yo estoy miranda tu video de Bloodborne. I think your videos will be good for me to improve my Spanish.
Wow Adam what a video! This was exactly the push I needed to give this game a go myself. The way you showed the world was amazing! Can't wait for the next 😀
If you were ever curious how well you do making these videos; The Witcher is a game I would never be interested in playing, for a lot of reasons. How long it is, the setting, the combat, etc. My friend lent me his copy of one of these books and I ended up skimming through after getting 2/3 of the way through it because it just stopped being interesting (if you're curious it was Last Wish, and the first third was pretty good. I liked all the side stories, I just didn't really care about Yennifer), and it is rare for me to start rushing through a book I'm reading. Despite how little I care about this series, your video was extremely well done and kept me glued, waiting to see what would happen next. Nice work!
I played "The Witcher 2" in a very weak PC a good few years ago, and his "cluncky" gameplay added with the lack of my experience in RPG games, made me say: "Well, maybe this is not for me". But i still had that curiosity about The Witcher 3, but not one strong enough to play the game. With your video posted, i didn't see a more proper time and situation to end this curiosity. You are always on point! Your channel is one of the best "accidental" things that the algorithm presented to me. Thank you for introducing and immersed me into this "Platinum World". Keep up with the good work Adam! PS: The beard suits you well mate! Looking good hahaha
Thank for sharing you experience. Glad TH-cam randomly recommended my channel to you. Welcome to the channel. Haha, the beard grew in well. Enjoy The Witcher 3!
Literally playing The Witcher 3 at this very moment, very keen to settle in with a drink & watch this as I play it - appreciate your work, Adam - can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for the channel!
Adam it's been a while since I commented but once again I want to applaud the production quality of your videos, these look and feel astounding, worthy of an epic like The Witcher 3.
Been looking forward to this episode ever since you said it was in the works, and it didn’t disappoint! It made me want to play it all over again. I hope you get around to playing the DLCs as they are fantastic too.
Superb episode Adam, cheers! I just knew we'd see a big grin from you when you got to Skellige. You owe it to yourself to play the dlc now, it's terrific
@@AdamMcDermott So, I'm replaying the entire game on PS5 now, just can't keep away from it. Still some irritating bugs in there, like shop menus not opening up or the npc pathing going awry, but to be expected with such a vast game. It still looks so beautiful! I've been playing FF7 Rebirth recently and this looks better imo
My second platinum after Batman Telltale, really got me into trophy hunting. After 50+ platinums since then, this would be the one game I would do anything to platinum again for the first time. Great work
The story telling of the path to the platinum, is what really sets Platinum Journeys apart from the rest. I can rewatch them again and again. Bring on the next one!
Loved this episode! I have such fond memories of this game. Just a great world to explore, great characters. Hope Adam gets to the DLC one day. Also loved his delight at realising there were Irish characters in the game 😄
Thank you! You might be the 30th person who has recommended the DLCs, haha. Hearing proper Irish accents in a game - even media in general - is so rare. Floored me.
Long time coming but absolutely worth the wait. Thank you so much, I'll definitely be rewatching this as I recover from sickness. Your reaction to the accents of citizens in Skellige was amazing. Top class video as always, cheers!
Hi Adam, I don't normally comment on videos but I just wanted to say I'm going through a rough time in a lot of ways (financially, job related, love life etc...) but your videos really do help a lot, watching and rewatching them in the evening before bed is something I look forward to every day, they really help me relax and laugh when I need it. You are the only youtuber I still follow and will keep following and I just wanted to thank you for being you and doing what you do.
Yeah, long time coming, almost a year. Won't be putting an episode on the back-burner again. Will just say, "Next episode will be a while." All the best to you too this year!
Another fantastic episode, editing prowess shining through! Fascinated to see your thoughts on Death Stranding. I went in not expecting much and it grabbed me like few games ever have.
Great video. I’ve been attempting to Platinum the game on and off your a year, I find the depressing world comforting so I just play whenever I need an energy boost. Also fun to take it slow.
It's here boys. The moment we've all been waiting for. I've been waiting for this episode since January last year I think when you mentioned it. So hyped 🙌
I took a break from Witcher 3 a month ago because I went a bit overboard with trying to do everything and racked up 100+ hours before finishing Act 1 in December and when I saw your video in my feed I opted to try to finish the main story in a week so I could watch the whole thing without worrying about spoilers. I didn't rush it or anything and when I finished it I definitely saw why the game garnered such a massive following.
Congrats Adam and thank you for blessing us with this amazing episode. Happy to see the way you immersed yourself in this world and that it gave you much joy in return. If you ever miss the Witcher you should go back and play the Blood and Wine dlc (one of the greatest expansion ever made)
This was an amazing episode and congratulations! I have The Witcher 3 plat aswell and it's an experience that stays with you! The beard looks awesome and suits you aswell and was a great touch ☺️ I honestly think this, MGS 4 and RE1R are my favourite episodes you've made and the effort really shows! Best of luck with Death Stranding though, as a platinum achiever myself and knowing the game is marmite i actually sit on the side of the fence that couldn't stand it towards the end and the grind was annoying but my gf got the platinum and loved the whole experience so hopefully you will enjoy it too! Happy new year and didn't expect to write such a long comment 😂
Great episode! I wish it was 6 hours long. Currently replaying W3 for the 4th time, I love this game. And yes, your beard looks awesome! Until next time.
Great episode Adam. My other half picked me up a PS5 copy of Witcher 3 for Christmas when it was on sale. I think you've inspired me to replay it soon and go for the platinum.
What A Birthday Treat Thank You So Much For Unloading This Platinum Journey Been Looking For This For Quite Long Time Since MG4 Video Ones Again Fantastic Video Adam 🤩
Great episode Adam! Easily one of, if not, the best stories in all of gaming. I remember when I played it, spent over 230 hours across 3months getting the game to 100%...the DLC was incredible. Was well worth it. Sad when I completed it, I was so immersed haha
Been waiting for what feels like ages to watch this. So happy to be watching. Ive played witcher 3 so many times. It’s probably my all time favorite game bar none. Got some drink and a few snacks. Adam’s boutta knock it outta the gwent park.!
New to your channel. Making my way through you videos. You have a way of making me want to play games so thanks. Had the witcher for a while but never played it as was put off with the platinum. But seeing this has made me want to play it. Currently doing the mgs1 master collection plat
Death March with no Alchemy, what an absolute demon you are. Subbed to you for this, really enjoyed the personal touch of explaining your choices and what you like doing.
Its an absolute joy seeing you having this good of a time with the game. Already looking forward to the next platinum journey. When those few notes came on at the end i legitimately shuddered.❤
What I love about your series is that when you started the videos were more about how to get platinums and your trials and tribulations. Now they seem to be more about your personal journey to get there and the ebbs and flows rather than the nuts and bolts. They have become almost contemplative. Every channel needs time to find their vibe, and for me, this is yours. Marvellous
That is a good observation. Less about the platinum, more about the journey. Contemplative is an excellent word for it. I spend more time thinking about the game and have a slower pace than what is typical in a TH-cam video.
One of my favourite games and also one of my favourite plats. Surely, the missables are a bit of a pain, but in the end you feel very accomplished and full of great memories.
Awesome. I went back to this during peak lockdown to get my platinum and it was a blast. Hope to see some bonus episodes with the expansions. They’re worth it! My other lockdown favourite was Death Stranding, and look what’s teased at the end!
Like always Adam, this video was absolutely amazing. I was completely immersed in this platinum journey. It’s from watching this journey that I’m now looking forward to experiencing my own when I finally get around to it. PS. Jeez man, you can also grow one heck of a nice beard, the last bit of growth gives off Kratos vibes. Cheers mate. 👍🍺
It's been a long time coming and I can only imagine the work you put into making this one video behind the scenes but congrats and well done on acquiring the platinum trophy for such a huge game.
Thank you for this episode Adam. I beated The Witcher 3 two times already, one of my favorite game ever, and your video gave me the opportunity to experience this tremendous journey again. What a game ! I had goosepumps and almost tears to see some crucial scenes again and characters. The party with Triss especially was a wonder to do in both playthroughs. I have to disagree with you about Yennefer though : she is the most believable character I have ever seen in a video-game and I never choose Triss over her. What a woman ! Cheers and thank you. I'm glad you had fun !
that first ghoul fight on death march is the ultimate gut chuck. after that the difficulty is pretty smooth sailing. so glad to see you do my favorite game of all time!
This motivated me to do this myself and gotta say one of my all time favorites now and I have no idea why I couldn’t get into it years back when I tried it.
Great video you have earned a new subscriber, also being from Northern Ireland myself hearing the accent in SKellige on my first playthrough I had the same reaction as yourself
God I wish this episode to absolutely explode for you Adam! So fucking good mate, your reactions, well structured and captured so much of the game. Also man keep the beard
I appreciate the support. Good news! It is doing better than any episode ever after the first 12 hours. Just hit 8,000 views. The fastest video to hit 8,000 views was Sekiro, but that took 24 hours. Basically, this episode does indeed have a good chance to explode.
This makes me want to replay finally on PS5 and for the first time get the platinum. One of my favorite games ever but I only played once on PS4. Another great video adam :)
Ooooo Waited about 8 months for the vid and not disappointed one of the best platinum journeys yet and of the best videos in general keep it up Adam ps still the best TH-camr imo
Been looking forward to this video and you absolutely killed it! Loved the beard progression as the video went on, excellent way to show the passage of time. Witcher 3 is one of my favourite games, I remember getting dogs abuse in work for the taking the week off just to play it 😅
Thrilled you liked it so much. The beard was a fun thing to do for such a big episode. Might bring it back in the future. Great game indeed, well worth taking time off to play it.
Incredible achievement, congratulations! Now I know, I've told you multiple times on Twitter 😂, but you gotta dive in the expansions. It will elevate the game to a new height and would most definitely make for a nice bonus episode (or even a new platinum journey with how big it is). Blood & Wine expansion even received a few GOTY awards with how amazing it is! Regardless, amazingly well done on getting this fantastic platinum and making this awesome video. Really enjoy these platinum journeys, so thank you :)
As soon as you said the princess was in the other castle, I thought the same thing seconds before. Another great episode to enjoy on a Sunday morning, thank you.
You are one of the only TH-camrs that I get genuinely excited to see a new video on my feed from. It helps that this is my favorite game is all time too 😂 keep up the good work brother!
Watching the video 4th of 5th time and feeling incredibly motivated to go get rpgs done (including the witcher trilogy-finally). I couldn’t have the attention spam to finish games, But now? Hellz yeah!! Very different approach to making reviews (?) But i just love your format. Thank you for that, loved your journey, insta-subscribed!
Wow, it has only been up 3 weeks. That is humbling you would watch it so many times already. Honoured I've encouraged you to play RPGs. Delighted you loved the video. Welcome to the channel!
Would love an extended cut of this Platinum Journey. Just like to hear your thoughts on certain questlines (bloody baron etc) - Great episode Adam and glad you enjoyed the game.
I did initially have more of the Bloody Baron but it was slowing down things. Lot of me just watching conversations and picking dialogue options. Did make sure to include him a little bit in the montage of quests which also featured Keira Metz. He is an interesting character. Yeah, ended up loving the game. Excited about diving into the DLCs in the coming years.
Thank you for the reply @@AdamMcDermott and also for the advice on getting a list of vendors to mark them off when collecting the Gwent cards. Really helped me out. I'm close to having all the cards now and then i can finish my Death Match run for the 100% :)
Okay, so I might of passed out while laying down, so I had to rewatch everything lol..... Just wow, I don't even know where to begin. I heard the game was good, but you made it look even better than I thought it was. definitely gonna pick it up when I get the chance. Worth the wait for sure. Thank you Adam for another amazing video
@@AdamMcDermott probably gonna do RE4 remake when you post that video.... Your videos always help me attack a platinum in a better way if your video is one I want to go for. I'll tell you the one I'm looking forward to the most is God Of War Ragnarok!
Don't think I hold any game dearer. My 100th and 200th plat. It may be a few years but ive got my ps5 copy sat on the shelf waiting for number 300. Brilliant video, Adam.
Genuinely enjoyed the video. Never considered the witcher before however after watching this i am definitely playing it in the future looks like an excellent game. Just got the platinums on the last of us and dead island riptide currently moved on to Residential Evil 4 it does not disappoint!!!
Total play time was 78 hours.
Next up is Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Im so excited for resident evil 4 remake! After that, i highly suggest platinuming the game Control!
You're really pushing me to go get my W3 plat...
That's great!! In my 1st playthrough, I got 90 hours and barely made it to Skellige lol
@@afibuffygirlDoubtful I'll cover Control. So many great games, can't cover them all.
@@FaLaN69I'm okay with that :)
This is probably my #1 game of all time. I’ve got the platinum on 3 different versions with easily over 1,000 hours played, 10/10 masterpiece for me.
The best game of all time and i have finished more than 1300 games across 7 generations of consoles.
Then Vesemir didn't die in vain

Same I got all stacks and on one version I’m the fastest 100% archiver in the world

The beard growing as the video and platinum carried on is still the best idea I’ve ever come up with. Can’t wait to relax with a drink to this video, top work Adam
Was a great idea. Think I'll do it again at some point.
Cheers!
@AdamMcDermott, do it for ragnarok to feel like kratos 😂
@@theamazing_adam2463 That does seem apropriate. We'll see.
good idea, i need one for this episode
a drink, not a beard
This is my favorite game of all time, glad to see you enjoyed it so much. Really hope we get a platinum bonus episode with you doing the dlc. Hearts of stone has a fantastic story, and blood and wine is a superb addition the size of most normal games.
I'm fairly sure at this point there will be a Bonus episode, maybe two.
I really love that there isn't a single character who is just the clear good guy. Even Geralt, the main character, can be cold and dismissive to some struggles after he looks at both sides of the conflict. "Evil comes in many forms. When it comes to a choice between two evils, I'd rather not choose."
Well said and good point
Adore the production value and effort that goes into every single one of your videos. Another brilliant entry in the series, Adam!
Thank you very much. Every video is a labour of love :)
Earned a sub here. Love the relaxed conversational format. Most of TH-cam seems structured around fast short attention span-appealing videos. Quite like the calm and measured delivery, as a contrast.

@@AdamMcDermott Hoping to see you get the DLC trophies too. They’re just as good as the main game
@@sufficientz4938 I will be doing a Bonus episode for each of the DLCs in the coming years. Heard nothing but great things.
What a great video man. Following you from a few months. Thanks for all the love you put into this videos. You chose the music so well. Greetings and cheers from Spain. I make platinum content too!
Thank you. Welcome to the channel. Music is such an important part for me, normally spend a day or two finding suitable tracks for an episode before editing.
Ah, España! Mucho gusto. Tengo amigos de España.

Me alegro mucho que te haya gustado el vídeo de Bloodborne. It was tough. Your videos are great for my English as well. Cheers amigo! @@AdamMcDermott

@@triphazard2906 Oh, that is unfortunate about the bugs.
Yeah, it has really held up well. Can't believe the game is almost a decade old.
My second platinum after Batman Telltale, really got me into trophy hunting. After 50+ platinums since then, this would be the one game I would do anything to platinum again for the first time. Great work
holy moly what a great video. I must say you've convinced me to give witcher 3 a try ^^
Thank you. Definitely give it a try.
The story telling of the path to the platinum, is what really sets Platinum Journeys apart from the rest. I can rewatch them again and again. Bring on the next one!
That is so important to me - making stuff that can be rewatched. Delighted you do that.
Loved this episode! I have such fond memories of this game. Just a great world to explore, great characters. Hope Adam gets to the DLC one day. Also loved his delight at realising there were Irish characters in the game 😄
Thank you! You might be the 30th person who has recommended the DLCs, haha.
Hearing proper Irish accents in a game - even media in general - is so rare. Floored me.
Long time coming but absolutely worth the wait. Thank you so much, I'll definitely be rewatching this as I recover from sickness. Your reaction to the accents of citizens in Skellige was amazing. Top class video as always, cheers!
Delighted it was worth the wait. You are more than welcome.
Got such a kick out of hearing proper Irish accents in media for once.

Thank you very much. Excellent compliment about the music choices.
Another fantastic episode, editing prowess shining through! Fascinated to see your thoughts on Death Stranding. I went in not expecting much and it grabbed me like few games ever have.

That is a massive compliment. There are so many excellent videos about The Witcher 3 out there. Thank you.
Already done the ps5 version at the start of last year it’s such a good platinum, this video has made me wanna go plat the ps4 version now
here we go, good morning Adam, from Vancouver Canada. I've been waiting for this episode/game!
Good morning to you too from Ireland!
Great episode Adam. My other half picked me up a PS5 copy of Witcher 3 for Christmas when it was on sale.

Been waiting for what feels like ages to watch this. So happy to be watching. Ive played witcher 3 so many times. It’s probably my all time favorite game bar none. Got some drink and a few snacks. Adam’s boutta knock it outta the gwent park.!
Witcher 3 is so good. Drinks and snacks, perfect way to enjoy a new episode. Cheers!
New to your channel. Making my way through you videos. You have a way of making me want to play games so thanks. Had the witcher for a while but never played it as was put off with the platinum. But seeing this has made me want to play it. Currently doing the mgs1 master collection plat
Welcome to the channel. Very cool that I made you want to play games. Best of luck with MGS1 platinum!
Death March with no Alchemy, what an absolute demon you are. Subbed to you for this, really enjoyed the personal touch of explaining your choices and what you like doing.
Thank you. We all have our own personal preferences. Thankfully, The Witcher let's you play how you want.
Its an absolute joy seeing you having this good of a time with the game. Already looking forward to the next platinum journey. When those few notes came on at the end i legitimately shuddered.❤
The reaction to the teaser has been bigger than I thought. Quite a few folks love that game.
What I love about your series is that when you started the videos were more about how to get platinums and your trials and tribulations. Now they seem to be more about your personal journey to get there and the ebbs and flows rather than the nuts and bolts. They have become almost contemplative. Every channel needs time to find their vibe, and for me, this is yours. Marvellous
That is a good observation. Less about the platinum, more about the journey.
Contemplative is an excellent word for it. I spend more time thinking about the game and have a slower pace than what is typical in a TH-cam video.
I will be watching this later Adam, bout to paint my room, it'll be a busy two days for sure..... Can't wait to set my eyes on this video
Best of luck with the painting!
One of my favourite games and also one of my favourite plats. Surely, the missables are a bit of a pain, but in the end you feel very accomplished and full of great memories.
Awesome. I went back to this during peak lockdown to get my platinum and it was a blast. Hope to see some bonus episodes with the expansions. They’re worth it! My other lockdown favourite was Death Stranding, and look what’s teased at the end!
Perfect lockdown games.
I'm fairly sure at this point there will be at least one Bonus episode if not two.
Keep up the amazing work! I bloody LOVE your channel!
I'm happy to hear you love my channel. Cheers!
The best platinum journey episode thus far great video loved it!!!!
Wonderful! Always cool when the newest episode is received so well.
I love your videos, mate! You have so much pure passion for video games. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you very much. Each episode is a labour of love.
Its clear from those trophy timestamps that this was a mammoth undertaking! Amazing video again Adam!
Yes indeed, but worth it. Cheers. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Never clicked on a video quicker - can't wait to see this one!
Like always Adam, this video was absolutely amazing. I was completely immersed in this platinum journey. It’s from watching this journey that I’m now looking forward to experiencing my own when I finally get around to it.
PS. Jeez man, you can also grow one heck of a nice beard, the last bit of growth gives off Kratos vibes. Cheers mate. 👍🍺
Delighted you enjoyed it so much. Definately play it for yourself.
Being compared to Kratos is pretty badass. Thank you.
Great video. And the tease at the end for the next one. You will not be disappointed sir! Keep on keeping on 👍
Thank you. Really looking forward to getting around to it this year.
Such a lovely journey to share with us. The dedication to the game as well as the beard was especially memorable. Cheers, Adam.
Growing the beard was fun. It will return at some point.
Cheers!
Great episode and I can't wait to see a bonus video in the future for Blood and Wine. You're gonna love Toussaint.
Thank you. Yeah, so looking forward to covering the DLCs in the years to come.
It's been a long time coming and I can only imagine the work you put into making this one video behind the scenes but congrats and well done on acquiring the platinum trophy for such a huge game.
Lot of work but so worth it
Thank you for making such a great video, congrats on the platinum. Cannot wait for the next one!
You are more than welcome!
Can't get over how well you narrate Adam. Your videos are so comforting. Great job lad, take care!
You are not the first person to compliment my narration. Always nice to hear.
Cheers!
@@AdamMcDermott You have a nice, deep voice Adam. Perfect for narrations that you do. Just like a fairytale.
@@rudydelfin697 Aww, that is lovely to hear. I should start doing audio books :)
Thank you for this episode Adam. I beated The Witcher 3 two times already, one of my favorite game ever, and your video gave me the opportunity to experience this tremendous journey again. What a game ! I had goosepumps and almost tears to see some crucial scenes again and characters. The party with Triss especially was a wonder to do in both playthroughs. I have to disagree with you about Yennefer though : she is the most believable character I have ever seen in a video-game and I never choose Triss over her. What a woman ! Cheers and thank you. I'm glad you had fun !
You are more than welcome.
Perfectly fine that we disagree about Yen :)
that first ghoul fight on death march is the ultimate gut chuck. after that the difficulty is pretty smooth sailing. so glad to see you do my favorite game of all time!
I agree. Surprised how handy the difficulty was.
This motivated me to do this myself and gotta say one of my all time favorites now and I have no idea why I couldn’t get into it years back when I tried it.
You just needed a little nudge. Glad you ended up enjoy The Witcher 3 so much.
@@AdamMcDermott Indeed.
Can't believe how good this video is, Keep up the good work!
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the video so much
great video, top work !
Thank you very much!
Great video you have earned a new subscriber, also being from Northern Ireland myself hearing the accent in SKellige on my first playthrough I had the same reaction as yourself
Cheers. Welcome to the channel.
So cool that a piece of media has proper Irish accents. Felt like I was transported to Northern Ireland for a bit.
God I wish this episode to absolutely explode for you Adam! So fucking good mate, your reactions, well structured and captured so much of the game. Also man keep the beard
I appreciate the support.
Good news! It is doing better than any episode ever after the first 12 hours. Just hit 8,000 views. The fastest video to hit 8,000 views was Sekiro, but that took 24 hours.
Basically, this episode does indeed have a good chance to explode.
This makes me want to replay finally on PS5 and for the first time get the platinum. One of my favorite games ever but I only played once on PS4.
Another great video adam :)
Definitely worth replaying.
Cheers!
Another banger! I can’t wait to see what games you play in 2024! ❤
Really recommend doing the DLC's as well. The stories in them and the characters are just as good as the main game.
You are at least the 20th person to recommend the DLCs, haha. There will be at least one if not two Bonus episodes for them.
@@AdamMcDermott Oh wow, well I'm sorry for you having to endlessly hear about them 😂I can't wait to watch those bonus episodes
@@Dm16509Not at all. I like hearing how passionate folks are about the DLCs.
Gloriously cinematic platinum video. Thank you Adam.
Thank you very much. Helps having great source material.
Ooooo Waited about 8 months for the vid and not disappointed one of the best platinum journeys yet and of the best videos in general keep it up Adam ps still the best TH-camr imo
Delighted you think it was worth the wait.
Honoured to be your favourite.
Awesome video! Great editing!
My editing is getting a lot of compliments this episode. So cool to hear from folks. Thank you.
Been looking forward to this video and you absolutely killed it!
Loved the beard progression as the video went on, excellent way to show the passage of time.
Witcher 3 is one of my favourite games, I remember getting dogs abuse in work for the taking the week off just to play it 😅
Thrilled you liked it so much.
The beard was a fun thing to do for such a big episode. Might bring it back in the future.
Great game indeed, well worth taking time off to play it.
Incredible achievement, congratulations!
Now I know, I've told you multiple times on Twitter 😂, but you gotta dive in the expansions. It will elevate the game to a new height and would most definitely make for a nice bonus episode (or even a new platinum journey with how big it is).
Blood & Wine expansion even received a few GOTY awards with how amazing it is!
Regardless, amazingly well done on getting this fantastic platinum and making this awesome video. Really enjoy these platinum journeys, so thank you :)
At this point, I'm fairly sure there will be a Bonus episode, maybe two.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the episode.
Was eagerly waiting for this . Thank you and have a wonderful new year ahead
You are more than welcome. Hope you have a wonderful new year ahead too.
As soon as you said the princess was in the other castle, I thought the same thing seconds before.
Another great episode to enjoy on a Sunday morning, thank you.
We think alike!
You are more than welcome.
Another great video.
Hope Christmas & new year was awesome for you.
I hope you’re well 🙏🏻
Thank you.
I had a great time, hope you did too.
Watching someone else enjoy such a masterpiece like I did was great to watch, enjoyable watch and we'll put together
Thank you. Didn't expect to like it as much as I did.
You are one of the only TH-camrs that I get genuinely excited to see a new video on my feed from. It helps that this is my favorite game is all time too 😂 keep up the good work brother!
Delighted to hear you say that.
Witcher 3 is special!
Watching the video 4th of 5th time and feeling incredibly motivated to go get rpgs done (including the witcher trilogy-finally). I couldn’t have the attention spam to finish games, But now? Hellz yeah!! Very different approach to making reviews (?) But i just love your format. Thank you for that, loved your journey, insta-subscribed!
Wow, it has only been up 3 weeks. That is humbling you would watch it so many times already.
Honoured I've encouraged you to play RPGs.
Delighted you loved the video. Welcome to the channel!
This is a platinum you will remember forever. Well done mate! 👏
I will indeed. Cheers!
The montage to the music was incredible!
Thank you. It turned out quite well. Helps having great source material.
Would love an extended cut of this Platinum Journey. Just like to hear your thoughts on certain questlines (bloody baron etc) - Great episode Adam and glad you enjoyed the game.
I did initially have more of the Bloody Baron but it was slowing down things. Lot of me just watching conversations and picking dialogue options. Did make sure to include him a little bit in the montage of quests which also featured Keira Metz. He is an interesting character.
Yeah, ended up loving the game. Excited about diving into the DLCs in the coming years.
Thank you for the reply @@AdamMcDermott and also for the advice on getting a list of vendors to mark them off when collecting the Gwent cards. Really helped me out. I'm close to having all the cards now and then i can finish my Death Match run for the 100% :)
Okay, so I might of passed out while laying down, so I had to rewatch everything lol..... Just wow, I don't even know where to begin. I heard the game was good, but you made it look even better than I thought it was. definitely gonna pick it up when I get the chance. Worth the wait for sure. Thank you Adam for another amazing video
Haha, passing out is okay.
Cheers. Helps having great source material to make things look nice. Well worth playing.
You are more than welcome!
@@AdamMcDermott probably gonna do RE4 remake when you post that video.... Your videos always help me attack a platinum in a better way if your video is one I want to go for. I'll tell you the one I'm looking forward to the most is God Of War Ragnarok!
@@dylan-6362 That is cool to hear. I'm so looking forward to Ragnarok. I've missed Kratos.
Don't think I hold any game dearer. My 100th and 200th plat. It may be a few years but ive got my ps5 copy sat on the shelf waiting for number 300. Brilliant video, Adam.
Great video! I live my platinum hunting through you these days!
I'm more than happy to take you on the adventure!
So jealous you're getting to experience this masterpiece for the first time. Enjoy my friend and good luck on the path!
I had a great time
Great video as always, such a great game a emotional rollercoaster from start to finish
Thank you. Yeah, great game.
An absolutely EPIC video for my favorite game of all time
Thank you adam ❤❤
Cheers. You are more than welcome!
Genuinely enjoyed the video. Never considered the witcher before however after watching this i am definitely playing it in the future looks like an excellent game. Just got the platinums on the last of us and dead island riptide currently moved on to Residential Evil 4 it does not disappoint!!!
Well worth playing. Have fun with RE4!
