I bought Dark Souls when it came out in 2011 and firmly believed it would be my game of the decade. I held that belief until 2019, when I finally decided to give The Witcher 3 a chance. The 10 year anniversary video CDPR made for the games really hits hard. Seeing everyone you've come to know and love celebrating you and your memories. This game has as much emotion as The Green Mile movie... I think it's about time for another 💯% play through
The Witcher 3 came out 5.5 years ago. Gaming is still trying to replicate so many of the things the Witcher 3 did brilliantly, and continues to fail at it.
Like what, what are your favorite parts? I'm trying to gather the desire to play it again, I got bored by endless fetch quests about 60 hrs in, I just can't force myself to play the last 10.
@@SuperKickFarty I would argue that the physics of the game adds to its realism. Geralt might not jump 10 feet in the air or cross giant chasms, but can you?
Few games can make such a strong impact to your life, even change the way you see things. And this one wasn't just a game, it was a whole otherworldly experience, one which you couldn't find a single flaw. Even in 20-30 years time, we'll still consider The Witcher 3 as a once in a lifetime game. Absolutely magnificent!
@@marius39671 Are you talking about Roach or Vernon Roche? There was a really annoying glitch where I was supposed to meet Vernon Roche in a Temerian cave but he just wouldn't spawn. I occupied my time doing all the side missions and then returned to that mission, still wouldn't spawn. The game was unplayable for me for a few weeks until they patched it. Regardless it's still one of my all time favourite games.
And here is where it gets too much, it's not a life changing experience, all you cult like people need to stop worshipping this and just accept it's still a videogame, a great one with excellent writing which was ahead of it's time. But to call it an otherwordly experience, calm tf down lol, more things to life then a fantasy rpg.
"What is the technical and precise labor of writing code if not incantation: patterns and processes of logic weaving intricate worlds which like the spells in the Earthsea, depend on the comprehensive naming and ordering of things. And that’s what the witcher 3 represents " - (Nathan Ditum, 2020) I've never come across a more beautiful description of coding. Hats off
Wow I initially bought this game during the lockdown because of this guy but I didn't get a chance to play and I was about to give it away. Now he goes and pull this well worded passionate description out of nowhere and then I remember that this is the reason I play video games. Well done, and thank you.
I have always known that this game was praised by everyone who has ever played it. But I could not give the game a shot myself just because it's not my type of game. But your 'love letter' for this game finally convinced me. I just bought it and I am going to play it tomorrow!
@@joshuagraham9507 Yeah, every game feels like there is something missing. Just something is always not enough or just below the standards the Witcher 3 has set in your mind, but you can't even describe what is exactly missing.
After I finished the game, I told myself I wouldn’t even replay it for at least 5 years so as not to sully the memory of it. Truly the greatest video game ever made
@@zacharycaswell8583 I wasn't able to do that. Wanted to see other outcomes than Yennefer, Ciri Witcher, Cerys queen and Redania's victory Couldn't do any of those and ended up doing same stuff all over again
I was playing earlier. But got completely sidetracked by Ghost of tshushima LEDGENDS update. I’m going to jump back into the Witcher 3 when I get me a PS5
I always appreciate Nathan's videos. They come across so genuine and enthusiastic. He can often peak my interest in something I would normally not give a second look.
I love it when Nath and Rob do a passion piece, their quality of language and journalism is so high compared to a lot of YT "thought pieces". More of this please PlayStation Access 🙏
Any debate about whether have are art should end in the light of such prose. Nathan's exploration of the themes and influences of the game crosses into printed media and classic film, with only light reference to other games. A beautiful opinion piece that thoughtfully explores its material of which you should be very proud Nathan. I want to see more writing of this calibre about games!
I agree, other TH-camrs can only describe how much they love a game by shouting hyperbole into a mic/at the camera. It is calming and refreshing to have the soothing tones and well written script that actually bring justice to the game
Witcher 3 is one of the most immersive games I've ever played. Most of the time I would just turn off the minimap and roam the world, taking in all the beautiful architecture and landscape. The focus on landscape near the end of the video really resonated with me. Not to bash or disrespect other games, but often game worlds feel somewhat ''designed''. It's like the content was decided on first, and the world was formed around it later. Witcher 3 feels like the world already existed, and the devs just found a way to tell stories in it. So often we hear the words ''alive'', ''living, breathing'' and ''sprawling'' when open worlds are described, but Witcher 3 is really on another level in terms of world believability and immersion. It feels like there are no copy-paste assets, no copy-paste quests and no copy-paste NPC's. Even when I come across the 100th abandoned house in the world, my mind doesn't go ''oh there's that asset again'', I'm just as intrigued as ever, treating it as if it's completely unique. And often when you investigate there is actually something hand crafted to it, that sets it apart from all the other homes. Sometimes when a game gets really popular, other games try to copy it. But no game company has been able to copy The Witcher 3. Why? Because it's not the parts that make up the game that made it popular, but how polished, high quality and well crafted each of those parts is. The Witcher 3 doesn't have one particular thing going for it that makes it beloved. People love it because it's one of the most detailed, best written RPG's ever made. You can't copy quality without putting just as much effort into it as the original! Really great video Nathan, I'll never get tired of hearing you talk about this fantastic game!
A game of such quality that it has basically spoiled me ever since. I'm still not sure it will ever be topped for me. It set the standard so incredibly high, nothing has really come close since. Witcher 3 The platinum standard
@@nubbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbin Dunno. I think many people feel a 'medieval' RPG more immersive than a futuristic one. Or similar to that like Ghost of Tsushima. At least I do. But we'll see.
Man, honestly, same here. Funny thing is, this was the first game I played this current generation when it came out, so it didn’t really help me with the next 5 years of games lmao.
@@jca4955 not yet. With cyberpunk kinda flopping on release I imagine the ps5 update to W3 will not happen for a few months I guess :( hopefully it comes soon. I’m waiting on it to replay it
I really liked Regis in witcher 3 , and decided to start reading the books , and am glad I did start them . Names of locations make so much more sense like Redania and all :D
I wish I had this experience with this game. I've never been one for fantasy so it took me until the beginning of this year to actually dive into this game. I will acknowledge that it is one of the best games I've ever played and I lost countless hours to it, but I've hit a wall. I've stopped at the final preparations mission and still have so many landmarks to explore, including DLC, but I just can't bring myself to play more for whatever reason. It always stays downloaded to my hard-drive for those days when I just want to relax and explore, but I havent been able to progress in any meaningful way for months.
This and Persona 5 will always hold a special place in my heart in this gen. I've probably played more than 600 hours in W3 but still the world never fails to amaze me. Thank you Nathan and the team of Access for this beautiful tribute. ❤
Saswato Sengupta I actually never got persona because of its anime look style, but I want to try it now ,so is persona still worth playing in 2020 or 2021 ?
@@dbrx758 Same mate,I always wonder why persona 5 is so famous even after its weird artstyle(according to me) No offense. @Saswato Sengupta Please do share why P5 is so special! If you have ps and have played games like GOW,Uncharted 4,Spiderman,etc. Does it still hold a higher place in your heart?!
@@noobiusmaximus6314 For me it is easily this year's game of the year. They improved everything about the vanilla p5 and the new semester was just brilliant, the only complaint was that it wasn't as long as I hoped and the final boss was a scripted event in the later half of the fight. Other than that the new true ending is also very good.
This game felt sentient. When I finished all the quests and the treasure hunts I felt I was leaving someone. Returning back to a world where I had forgotten how to live. I couldn't get enough of soccer but now it feels like a different life. The game is almost life changing. Never do I remember feeling emotionally attached to a game and feeling so empty after I finished. I never thought I would say this about the Witcher 3 but this game has become my favourite game and the best game I have ever played.
Wild Hunt I have been playing it since November 2019 on PC, with a stable 1070 at 60fps. I took it a little lightly but it became my favorite game. Greetings from Italy!
I couldn’t get into this game because I really didn’t care for white orchard and didn’t ‘get’ what this game offered. It took me a year on and off to get through it. Then I got out to Velen and the whole game opened up for me and I’m in love. What a gaming experience!
@@DrSmoke47 Make sure to buy the edition with the DLCs. You really don't want to miss the DLCs. My advice to you is to do the main game first then hearts of stone after
I spend about 18 hours straight once when a friend of mine wanted to see what the game was about. We started at 10am and ended around 4:30 the next morning. Worth it. Plus my insomnia finally came in handy lol
My goodness that was well done! I mean honestly flooring. You've not wasted one single word in this thought provoking, exquisitely summarized motif. Btw thx alot looks like I'm installing w3 again
I'm on my third playthrough of the game with over 350 hours and I'm still not bored, I can't get enough of it. The gane truly is my favourite game of all time and I never thought a game that resonates with me this much would ever exist. A true masterpiece.
What a great video essay! Such great literary touch points as well, have read all of them except now, in my mid-30’s am cruising through the wheel of time series. Me and my wife first bonded over a love of the Earthsea trilogy/quartet. I am still playing Blood and Wine! Also watching this as I cruise through a rainy autumnal south east England on my new commute to work so really feeling the map and territory vibe. Thank you.
12 minutes and it appears Nathan forgot Yennifer all over again. Seriously though, such a great video and I hope you make that comprehensive video next. You even included a quote from Alan Moore!
If you play on pc and happen to use a Nvidea videocard, you can press Alt+F2 at any time in the game and open screenshot mode. It's amazing, and allows you to float all over the map
@@tennisthelegend You can be sure of that. CDPR should only deal with games in the world of the witcher. Few people know that they have been working on the new witcher for a long time. Greetings from Poland 🤜
I've been on TH-cam since it's inception and watched it grow into an amazing resource of information. Quite incredible really. I was searching for videos on Mastercrafting my Griffin set (Hey... it's all about personal preference) and I stumbled upon your video "Why the Witcher 3 will always...(etc). For five years I have been trying to explain to my younger sister (48 y.o.) why a 'Grown Man' (53 y.o.) would engage in the same activity as her teenage son (13 y.o.) and, Lord knows, I have tried and tried and tried. The Witcher. Skyrim. God of War. Tombraider (the new ones). Nothing worked. Not a word got through. Nothing! Today is Christmas 2020 and she will not be able to escape me. I am going to sit her down and make her watch this video. Nathan, you have absolutely nailed it, Mate! Everything from world building and morally questionable decision-making to the joys of being a 'Kid with a Stick' (See George Carlin for more information on this particular truth). Congratulations. I think you've pointed out what 'Non-Gamers' just don't seem to get and you did it so eloquently. Search my profile. I NEVER comment on ANYTHING! (Too much of that stuff out there already) but I hope you continue to review well into the future and I will watch for your work. You mentioned the correlation between Art and Magic. I believe, personally, that the Art of Writing is to take something that is seemingly 'incomprehensible'. Explain it to an individual through lucid description and clear analogy that in no way condescends. Thus, the receiver leaves with a broader understanding of the world around them and a greater sense of the Adventure that is Life. You've done that in Spades, my friend. It won't change the world but it will explain to people why the Gaming industry is the largest sector of personal entertainment in the world today. Thankyou & Kudo's, dude. Merry Christmas.
What an amazing review, astonishing. Hearing it my heart was warmed, my eyes were drowning with tears knowing that other people are feeling this game in the same way as me. Witcher 3 was the journey, an adventure and at the end of the game, I was really sad that it came to an end. The same feeling I have always when I finish the Back to the Future trilogy. Whenever I see when Doc came back to the '80s to tell Marty that he's fine and to give him their picture I'm sad that this adventure is ending. The same feeling was at the end of the Witcher when I finished the last expansion. Those feelings are telling us that we are dealing with a piece of art, something amazing.
This is the greatest game of all time. The emotions, excitements, anger, love, passion, attachments these feelings you feel It just hits different then any other game I ever played.
@Rowan Melton Hopefully Cyberpunk will live up to the hype, but then again that is still just a launch title in 2020. I can't wait for another amazing game like Witcher 3 or RDR2. Hopefully we see GTA 6!
@@spidermanps4349 What does that have to do with anything? I mean GoW is a good game too, but RDR2 definitely has more content and interesting updates overall.
It rare in video game journalism that we get thought pieces written with this passion and fluency. Amazing piece and kudos for fitting it with in 13 minutes!
This was my favorite game before RDR2 and still my most played games, I completed this game 8 times, going through different scenarios and builds. This is also the only game I platinum.
the great thing about PlayStation Aceess, is that you get deep content like this from nathan (I never 100% got on with witcher 3, but it's still nice to hear someone who did explain why so eloquently). and then you get the sheer nonsense of watching the whole team play fall guys, all seemingly with a secret plan to wind rob up until he loses it. great stuff, and keep it coming team
That bit where he equates magic and computer programming - as the manipulation of symbols and signs that conjure something out of nothing ... Poetry ... that's always what I've thought; still can't get my head around how a bunch of 1s and 0s can be transformed into creating a completely new virtual world! It was amazing enough 48 years ago when you could play tennis on a TV with two rectangles and a square dot.
I agree with everything in this video! They tackle the suffering of people in such an empathetic way in this game it truly moved me. And then the world just looks like my hometown and it also feels like home
Dude, this is the kind of eloquent ode that this masterpiece deserves. Hats off to you my friend for reminding me about the absolute magic of The Witcher 3.
The emotions I felt while playing the Bald Mountain quest. Will never be topped by another game. I often think about how incredibly invested I got during that moment.
Spent over 300 hours on it i totally agree a masterpiece my favourite game.Looking forward too the Ps5 upgrade reduced load times which was the worst thing about it.
Just finished playthrough number 3 about a month ago. 500+ hours of this game and I still discover things I've never seen before. There are whole sets of videos with hours of crazy stuff just hidden throughout this game. I absolutely love it and it is easily my favorite game of all time. The stories in the side missions are better than most games' main stories. I wish more games were like this, but I also know there may be nothing like this ever again. A true masterpiece!
How can you discover new things after 500+ hours when I discovered every single point of interest majority of which are copy/paste & the game of year edition in 160 hours..
I’ve played through the game 9 times. I’m currently on my 10th, I doubt I’ll make it in time for cp2077... just because every time I start a new play through I savor it tremendously and feel almost like a responsibility, a duty to play it as best as I can. It is not just “a game” it is something bigger. It’s a phenomenal phenomenal work of art, the absolute best piece of entertainment I’ve ever consumed. The feelings it conjured have never been replicated or even come close in any other game past or present, and I’ve been playing games for almost two decades. That scene where you’re just chilling with Regis, next to the fire... drinking his homemade Booz... the music starts playing as the moon sits in the background, a deep moment of serenity, despite all the ordeals you’ve gone through w/ Geralt... beautiful.
@@diplomatG funnily enough, I tried it 2 times before proper getting into it. I gave it time the 3rd time and then something clicked and I fell in love with everything about it. Though it might just not be your game bro. We ain’t meant to like everything, doesn’t mean ur wrong or the games wrong. Just different vibes :)
I remember Witcher 3 came out in May 2015 and it was around the time I was doing my GCSEs. It is the sole reason why I didn’t study and therefore failed most of my exams. No other game had me glued to it like Witcher 3 and I have zero regrets 😂
Did not finish the game. Was doubting if to play it again. Watching this video was all I needed. This is one of Access’ top videos. It is kind of a poetic and personal review. Awesome video, Nath!
Thank you, Nate! This video deserves not just a like, but a big big heart. I'm absolutely obsessed with The Witcher lore. When the first (and second) game came out I didn't have a proper computer to run them and I was heartbroken. Now I'm playing Witcher 3 on PS4, I'm on my second playthrough with the platinum trophy in mind. I've read the books(multiple times) , watched the TV series(multiple times) and finally bought the physical copy of the first two games... Even though I already have the whole collection digitally on Steam. Still, I need a proper PC to run them :D Even after the Platinum, I'll play not just the third game, but the whole franchise again and again. Being a middle-european (Hungarian) and with Poland being an actual neighbour country, this lore is very close to me and the events, stories, references and nods are basically my childhood. Again, thank you for this video, I'm happy that I'm not the only one who loves this franchise with an ever burning and undying passion. Cheers dude!
The witcher 3 was the first game that made me feel the characters, you just love them, is so natural, everyone looks alive, this game is a masterpiece.
im new to this game, because i just bought a gaming pc. still level 7 and just clocked about 3 hours of gameplay. i tell ya, this game is better than elder scrolls skyrim
@@rpg23245 I've only played it 4 times - I just don't get it But when I'm bored of the game (I've reached Hearts of Stone on New Game + [2nd time round] - currently level 85) ... I'll have a go at taking Gwent seriously - because I love all sorts of games; the only reason I don't play it is because the main game is too exciting to be sat there playing cards.
I loved skyrim, however it seems so hollow compared to the Witcher 3. What was skyrim's main quest anyway. Can't seem to remember. The only thing I remember is the modding community. Probably one of the best in that aspect.
For vanilla skyrim, yes. Shouldn't even be put on the comparing. For skyrim with 150+ mods list (who enjoy vanilla skyrim today, really?), the gap somewhat closer and is actually comparable.
This was brilliant. Genuine poetry and I think you hit the nail on the head as to why this is the best game I've ever played and why games are so magical
Nathan, very rarely have I enjoyed listening to someone talk about something they love as much as I enjoyed this. Thanks. In fact, I think I will listen again now.
I've collected all the trophies from Witcher 3 and W3 Goty version and im going for W3 Complete edition too. The Witcher 3 is my all time favourite game.
I just started playing it again like 3 days ago. It’s truly maybe my favorite game ever. It was Snake Eater for a long time but Witcher 3 is such a staggeringly amazing game. I hope the game gets even better with a potential performance boost on next gen.
Absolutely top notch essay, Nathan. Thank you! Playing the Witcher reinvigorated a connection to nature for me. For the first time I felt stories at myself for having grown up in a rural area but couldn't tell you the name of most of the plants or any of their users. I could tell my beggertrick blossom from my celandine, but not any real plants that grow outside my window. I want to connect with nature again.
The quality of Nathan's work is utterly astonishing, I feel like a better version of myself having watched this. One of the best passion pieces I have ever seen (the other being Rob's on What Remains of Edith Finch)
Wow this video is amazig! I got so lost in the commentary and sprawling landscapes while watching. It brought back so much nostalgia of the game but also of reading fantasy books and imagination of the worlds in them. Awesome🙂
Nath, thank you. Such a beautiful „visual essay” born from a deep passion and love towards a world so near and dear to my heart. Amazing video, thank you for capturing the essence of this game.
You sir are very good at what you do.. I feel that it must be a crime that I still haven't played this game, but I will now. Impeccable timing, pulling out a gem and talking about it, especially since I was about to give away the copy I bought (still going to, but will purchase a digital copy this time) because I don't have the time to play, well up until I watched this video of yours at least. Your delivery was brilliant 👏 👌 🙌 😀 👍 my words cannot do justice.

Witcher 3. I'm forever thankful for you and the access crew for convincing on not only getting this game but the PS4 as well. My life has never been the same
Such a shame this game never got a photograph mode on PS4. Only option you have is turning off the entire HUD. This game is like playing in a 15th century painting.
you didn't play it yet ! its 70% off today i think . you should give it a try its amazing be lil bit patient at the first few hours it start slow hhh but it get better
I was like you before and I only played this masterpiece in 2020. Now I envy you, wish I haven't played so I can play it again for the first time. This my friend, is a masterpiece. Best game I ever played in my entire 33 years lifetime
100-200 hours of game, that never copy it self, but keep evolving and give you complete new stories and missions to dive into from start to finish. Abosolute the best game of all time and it comes with a free ps5 upgrade later in 2021.
I've always wanted to play this game but time constraints made me avoid it due to the investment I knew that would have to be made to actually play it, and just recently I downloaded it from the Playstation store for 10 bucks and let me tell you..... I'm hooked! The level of immersion in this game is ridiculously GOOD, I can't believe that these are the same ppl that spewed out cyberpunk
Ironically, the Witcher Continent wasn't given any official maps in the books. Official witcher maps only came as part of the production of the games some time later. Also, I read the Earthsea books while abroad for the season right after playing the Witcher 3 and right before playing Blood and Wine when I returned. I definitely remember seeing some interesting parallels between the two series.
The witcher 3 is one of those game that makes you feel sad that you have finished it, you wish that it never ends
I just start again when that happens, i could play that game forever
I played it twice and wished I made some different choices to see what happens but I can’t bring myself to be an evil / mean witcher lol

@@josephkaryl1911 rpg
I am not ashamed to say this game made me teary eyed on several occasions.
you should never be, my eyes cristsalized 2/3 times i played it
I love it when Nath and Rob do a passion piece, their quality of language and journalism is so high compared to a lot of YT "thought pieces". More of this please PlayStation Access 🙏
Well said. Couldn't agree more... 👍🏼
If I did not hear Nathan in this video I would have left
Definitely. I am overwhelmed by the amount of information & feels they vibe off when they're on it
Any debate about whether have are art should end in the light of such prose. Nathan's exploration of the themes and influences of the game crosses into printed media and classic film, with only light reference to other games. A beautiful opinion piece that thoughtfully explores its material of which you should be very proud Nathan. I want to see more writing of this calibre about games!
I agree, other TH-camrs can only describe how much they love a game by shouting hyperbole into a mic/at the camera. It is calming and refreshing to have the soothing tones and well written script that actually bring justice to the game
Witcher 3 is one of the most immersive games I've ever played. Most of the time I would just turn off the minimap and roam the world, taking in all the beautiful architecture and landscape. The focus on landscape near the end of the video really resonated with me. Not to bash or disrespect other games, but often game worlds feel somewhat ''designed''. It's like the content was decided on first, and the world was formed around it later. Witcher 3 feels like the world already existed, and the devs just found a way to tell stories in it.
So often we hear the words ''alive'', ''living, breathing'' and ''sprawling'' when open worlds are described, but Witcher 3 is really on another level in terms of world believability and immersion. It feels like there are no copy-paste assets, no copy-paste quests and no copy-paste NPC's. Even when I come across the 100th abandoned house in the world, my mind doesn't go ''oh there's that asset again'', I'm just as intrigued as ever, treating it as if it's completely unique. And often when you investigate there is actually something hand crafted to it, that sets it apart from all the other homes.
Sometimes when a game gets really popular, other games try to copy it. But no game company has been able to copy The Witcher 3. Why? Because it's not the parts that make up the game that made it popular, but how polished, high quality and well crafted each of those parts is. The Witcher 3 doesn't have one particular thing going for it that makes it beloved. People love it because it's one of the most detailed, best written RPG's ever made. You can't copy quality without putting just as much effort into it as the original!
Really great video Nathan, I'll never get tired of hearing you talk about this fantastic game!
So well put
Well done just perfect
rdr's open world is the best and most lively alongwith the great witcher
A game of such quality that it has basically spoiled me ever since. I'm still not sure it will ever be topped for me. It set the standard so incredibly high, nothing has really come close since.
Witcher 3
The platinum standard
i think cyberpunk will top it
@@nubbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbin might just be the only game that can, if only bethesda will work on their worldbuilding
@@nubbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbin Dunno. I think many people feel a 'medieval' RPG more immersive than a futuristic one. Or similar to that like Ghost of Tsushima. At least I do. But we'll see.

8:40 the irony here is that the Witcher books never had any map in them and it took the Polish community ages to establish a fan world map.

@@tanaypandey1771 The books are great but you’re probably reading them wrong
The video should've been called "A love letter to the Witcher 3", since it's like Nath is reading a poem, and yes, one of the best games ever
This is so fantastically written, I couldn't even begin to give it the praise it deserves.
Thank Andrzej Sapkowski, without him this game would not exist.
Absolutely beautiful game, the hours I’ve sunk in is scary and I can’t stop going back. One of its kind
When I start my next playthrough on the PS5 I'm gonna pass 1,000 hours... whoops.
500 hours and counting here mate
I wish I had this experience with this game. I've never been one for fantasy so it took me until the beginning of this year to actually dive into this game. I will acknowledge that it is one of the best games I've ever played and I lost countless hours to it, but I've hit a wall. I've stopped at the final preparations mission and still have so many landmarks to explore, including DLC, but I just can't bring myself to play more for whatever reason. It always stays downloaded to my hard-drive for those days when I just want to relax and explore, but I havent been able to progress in any meaningful way for months.
I literally played this game for 8 months straight on my switch.
this is not a game... this is a work of art that will be saved through the annals of history
I am delighted that I had played Witcher 3 in my lifetime. Thanks, CD Project.
This and Persona 5 will always hold a special place in my heart in this gen. I've probably played more than 600 hours in W3 but still the world never fails to amaze me. Thank you Nathan and the team of Access for this beautiful tribute. ❤

I love Persona 5. Easily one of my top 5 games. Thoughts on P5R?
Persona is definitely up there amazing game
@@noobiusmaximus6314 For me it is easily this year's game of the year. They improved everything about the vanilla p5 and the new semester was just brilliant, the only complaint was that it wasn't as long as I hoped and the final boss was a scripted event in the later half of the fight. Other than that the new true ending is also very good.
This game felt sentient. When I finished all the quests and the treasure hunts I felt I was leaving someone. Returning back to a world where I had forgotten how to live. I couldn't get enough of soccer but now it feels like a different life. The game is almost life changing. Never do I remember feeling emotionally attached to a game and feeling so empty after I finished. I never thought I would say this about the Witcher 3 but this game has become my favourite game and the best game I have ever played.
Hearing the music gives me chills every time I hear it even tho I have 600 hours on this game.
I feel you man. The sound design is superb
So happy to hear people feel exactly how I felt, and feel till this day, about this spectacular work of art. Thank you for this video.
Greatest game ever made.
Wild Hunt I have been playing it since November 2019 on PC, with a stable 1070 at 60fps. I took it a little lightly but it became my favorite game. Greetings from Italy!
when im gonna get my ps5 i will play this fresh from the start with all expansions can't wait.
I couldn’t get into this game because I really didn’t care for white orchard and didn’t ‘get’ what this game offered. It took me a year on and off to get through it. Then I got out to Velen and the whole game opened up for me and I’m in love. What a gaming experience!
I never ever in my entire life spent 16 straight hours on a game other than The Witcher 3.👌😏😅
Really should i try it
@@DrSmoke47 It is offered on PS store for $15. Why not? So you will understand the hype about the game😊😉

I spend about 18 hours straight once when a friend of mine wanted to see what the game was about. We started at 10am and ended around 4:30 the next morning. Worth it. Plus my insomnia finally came in handy lol

I'm on my third playthrough of the game with over 350 hours and I'm still not bored, I can't get enough of it. The gane truly is my favourite game of all time and I never thought a game that resonates with me this much would ever exist. A true masterpiece.
What a great video essay! Such great literary touch points as well, have read all of them except now, in my mid-30’s am cruising through the wheel of time series. Me and my wife first bonded over a love of the Earthsea trilogy/quartet. I am still playing Blood and Wine! Also watching this as I cruise through a rainy autumnal south east England on my new commute to work so really feeling the map and territory vibe. Thank you.
12 minutes and it appears Nathan forgot Yennifer all over again.

I've been on TH-cam since it's inception and watched it grow into an amazing resource of information. Quite incredible really. I was searching for videos on Mastercrafting my Griffin set (Hey... it's all about personal preference) and I stumbled upon your video "Why the Witcher 3 will always...(etc). For five years I have been trying to explain to my younger sister (48 y.o.) why a 'Grown Man' (53 y.o.) would engage in the same activity as her teenage son (13 y.o.) and, Lord knows, I have tried and tried and tried. The Witcher. Skyrim. God of War. Tombraider (the new ones). Nothing worked. Not a word got through. Nothing!
Today is Christmas 2020 and she will not be able to escape me. I am going to sit her down and make her watch this video. Nathan, you have absolutely nailed it, Mate! Everything from world building and morally questionable decision-making to the joys of being a 'Kid with a Stick' (See George Carlin for more information on this particular truth). Congratulations. I think you've pointed out what 'Non-Gamers' just don't seem to get and you did it so eloquently. Search my profile. I NEVER comment on ANYTHING! (Too much of that stuff out there already) but I hope you continue to review well into the future and I will watch for your work.
You mentioned the correlation between Art and Magic. I believe, personally, that the Art of Writing is to take something that is seemingly 'incomprehensible'. Explain it to an individual through lucid description and clear analogy that in no way condescends. Thus, the receiver leaves with a broader understanding of the world around them and a greater sense of the Adventure that is Life. You've done that in Spades, my friend. It won't change the world but it will explain to people why the Gaming industry is the largest sector of personal entertainment in the world today.
Thankyou & Kudo's, dude. Merry Christmas.
That means a lot, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! Really appreciated!
What an amazing review, astonishing. Hearing it my heart was warmed, my eyes were drowning with tears knowing that other people are feeling this game in the same way as me. Witcher 3 was the journey, an adventure and at the end of the game, I was really sad that it came to an end. The same feeling I have always when I finish the Back to the Future trilogy. Whenever I see when Doc came back to the '80s to tell Marty that he's fine and to give him their picture I'm sad that this adventure is ending. The same feeling was at the end of the Witcher when I finished the last expansion. Those feelings are telling us that we are dealing with a piece of art, something amazing.
This masterpiece ❤️ Seeing this video makes me wanna do a 11th playthrough of it again! I miss Geralt 😭
Andy the Witcher you are truly a Witcher my friend.

This was my favorite game before RDR2 and still my most played games, I completed this game 8 times, going through different scenarios and builds. This is also the only game I platinum.
Same! Rdr2 just is too amazing
the great thing about PlayStation Aceess, is that you get deep content like this from nathan (I never 100% got on with witcher 3, but it's still nice to hear someone who did explain why so eloquently). and then you get the sheer nonsense of watching the whole team play fall guys, all seemingly with a secret plan to wind rob up until he loses it.
great stuff, and keep it coming team

That bit where he equates magic and computer programming - as the manipulation of symbols and signs that conjure something out of nothing ...

It was amazing enough 48 years ago when you could play tennis on a TV with two rectangles and a square dot.
I agree with everything in this video! They tackle the suffering of people in such an empathetic way in this game it truly moved me. And then the world just looks like my hometown and it also feels like home
Dude, this is the kind of eloquent ode that this masterpiece deserves. Hats off to you my friend for reminding me about the absolute magic of The Witcher 3.
The emotions I felt while playing the Bald Mountain quest. Will never be topped by another game. I often think about how incredibly invested I got during that moment.

That is some Magic writing mate! Please do more like this
Spent over 300 hours on it i totally agree a masterpiece my favourite game.Looking forward too the Ps5 upgrade reduced load times which was the worst thing about it.

@John Marston hmm your name makes you seem a little biased don't you think.
beautifully written script Nathan. you recounted the things many of us felt with this game perfectly.
I wish more people would talk about games as passionately as this.
Just finished playthrough number 3 about a month ago. 500+ hours of this game and I still discover things I've never seen before. There are whole sets of videos with hours of crazy stuff just hidden throughout this game. I absolutely love it and it is easily my favorite game of all time.
The stories in the side missions are better than most games' main stories. I wish more games were like this, but I also know there may be nothing like this ever again. A true masterpiece!
How can you discover new things after 500+ hours when I discovered every single point of interest majority of which are copy/paste & the game of year edition in 160 hours..
I’ve played through the game 9 times. I’m currently on my 10th, I doubt I’ll make it in time for cp2077... just because every time I start a new play through I savor it tremendously and feel almost like a responsibility, a duty to play it as best as I can. It is not just “a game” it is something bigger.
It’s a phenomenal phenomenal work of art, the absolute best piece of entertainment I’ve ever consumed. The feelings it conjured have never been replicated or even come close in any other game past or present, and I’ve been playing games for almost two decades.
That scene where you’re just chilling with Regis, next to the fire... drinking his homemade Booz... the music starts playing as the moon sits in the background, a deep moment of serenity, despite all the ordeals you’ve gone through w/ Geralt... beautiful.

I remember Witcher 3 came out in May 2015 and it was around the time I was doing my GCSEs. It is the sole reason why I didn’t study and therefore failed most of my exams. No other game had me glued to it like Witcher 3 and I have zero regrets 😂
Did not finish the game. Was doubting if to play it again. Watching this video was all I needed. This is one of Access’ top videos. It is kind of a poetic and personal review. Awesome video, Nath!
Thank you, Nate! This video deserves not just a like, but a big big heart. I'm absolutely obsessed with The Witcher lore. When the first (and second) game came out I didn't have a proper computer to run them and I was heartbroken. Now I'm playing Witcher 3 on PS4, I'm on my second playthrough with the platinum trophy in mind. I've read the books(multiple times) , watched the TV series(multiple times) and finally bought the physical copy of the first two games... Even though I already have the whole collection digitally on Steam. Still, I need a proper PC to run them :D Even after the Platinum, I'll play not just the third game, but the whole franchise again and again. Being a middle-european (Hungarian) and with Poland being an actual neighbour country, this lore is very close to me and the events, stories, references and nods are basically my childhood. Again, thank you for this video, I'm happy that I'm not the only one who loves this franchise with an ever burning and undying passion. Cheers dude!
The witcher 3 was the first game that made me feel the characters, you just love them, is so natural, everyone looks alive, this game is a masterpiece.
im new to this game, because i just bought a gaming pc.
still level 7 and just clocked about 3 hours of gameplay.
i tell ya, this game is better than elder scrolls skyrim
I'm 60 hours in and I'm only level 20. Can't move faster because of gwent lol
@@rpg23245 I've only played it 4 times - I just don't get it
But when I'm bored of the game (I've reached Hearts of Stone on New Game + [2nd time round] - currently level 85) ...
I'll have a go at taking Gwent seriously - because I love all sorts of games; the only reason I don't play it is because the main game is too exciting to be sat there playing cards.
Skyrim was god in it's own age but this game is still all mighty God
I loved skyrim, however it seems so hollow compared to the Witcher 3. What was skyrim's main quest anyway. Can't seem to remember. The only thing I remember is the modding community. Probably one of the best in that aspect.
For vanilla skyrim, yes. Shouldn't even be put on the comparing.
For skyrim with 150+ mods list (who enjoy vanilla skyrim today, really?), the gap somewhat closer and is actually comparable.
What a beautifully written love letter to this game
This was brilliant. Genuine poetry and I think you hit the nail on the head as to why this is the best game I've ever played and why games are so magical
Nathan, very rarely have I enjoyed listening to someone talk about something they love as much as I enjoyed this. Thanks. In fact, I think I will listen again now.
I've collected all the trophies from Witcher 3 and W3 Goty version and im going for W3 Complete edition too.
The Witcher 3 is my all time favourite game.
Currently replaying this. Absolutely astonishing in every way.
I just started playing it again like 3 days ago. It’s truly maybe my favorite game ever. It was Snake Eater for a long time but Witcher 3 is such a staggeringly amazing game. I hope the game gets even better with a potential performance boost on next gen.
Absolutely top notch essay, Nathan. Thank you! Playing the Witcher reinvigorated a connection to nature for me. For the first time I felt stories at myself for having grown up in a rural area but couldn't tell you the name of most of the plants or any of their users. I could tell my beggertrick blossom from my celandine, but not any real plants that grow outside my window. I want to connect with nature again.
The quality of Nathan's work is utterly astonishing, I feel like a better version of myself having watched this. One of the best passion pieces I have ever seen (the other being Rob's on What Remains of Edith Finch)
7:48 That hit me right in the feels. I can TOTALLY relate to it.
This game is absolutely amazing. Its uncanny to think that they are still unlocking hidden dialogues within the game
Playing The Witcher 3 was one of the best experiences of my life. I hope CDPR releases the new remodeled version soon.
Wow this video is amazig! I got so lost in the commentary and sprawling landscapes while watching. It brought back so much nostalgia of the game but also of reading fantasy books and imagination of the worlds in them. Awesome🙂
Nathan's writing on this video is incredible.
Nath, thank you. Such a beautiful „visual essay” born from a deep passion and love towards a world so near and dear to my heart. Amazing video, thank you for capturing the essence of this game.

at the first few hours it start slow hhh but it get better
its worth it, just make sure you get it at a weekend, because u cant really stop again haha
I was like you before and I only played this masterpiece in 2020. Now I envy you, wish I haven't played so I can play it again for the first time. This my friend, is a masterpiece. Best game I ever played in my entire 33 years lifetime
100-200 hours of game, that never copy it self, but keep evolving and give you complete new stories and missions to dive into from start to finish. Abosolute the best game of all time and it comes with a free ps5 upgrade later in 2021.
I've always wanted to play this game but time constraints made me avoid it due to the investment I knew that would have to be made to actually play it, and just recently I downloaded it from the Playstation store for 10 bucks and let me tell you..... I'm hooked! The level of immersion in this game is ridiculously GOOD, I can't believe that these are the same ppl that spewed out cyberpunk
I know it's crazy isn't it, I'm hoping they will redeem themselves with a whitcher 4.
Ironically, the Witcher Continent wasn't given any official maps in the books. Official witcher maps only came as part of the production of the games some time later.
Also, I read the Earthsea books while abroad for the season right after playing the Witcher 3 and right before playing Blood and Wine when I returned. I definitely remember seeing some interesting parallels between the two series.
I love PlayStation Access today but I also miss these beautifully poetic retrospectives from Nath.
What a fantastic video! Wonderfully sincere and also very poetic! Please keep swinging that stick and exploring that map.
