Wild Hunt is epic… worth the wait IMO.

The only thing, so far, that I dislike about Witcher 3 is that it’s not a living, breathing world (the characters don’t seem to have day/night routines). For example, every time I see Willis, the blacksmith, he’s always just standing there banging the same thing (sword?) over and over again. Or inside the Bloody Baron’s manor, there’s always that dude in a room sharpening his knife. That’s what he does. All. The. Time. These are just two obvious examples.

I almost would call The Witcher 3 a ā€œpseudo open-world gameā€. It’s more story driven than Skyrim, for example, which is definitely nice and engaging, but Skyrim has much better day/night routines (and hopefully Kingdom Come will have even better day/night routines).

The final thing about W3 that bugs me is how there’s a lot of clipping. You can walk through bushes and tree branches and they don’t move. You can walk through hanging rope, etc. Your horse can walk through anything (when you’re not riding Roach) including closed doors, etc… These types of things are unacceptable IMO.

It’s why games like Exanima are so exciting to play. A truly physics based world. I just hope Sui Generis has NPCs with realistic day/night cycles and engaging story and branching dialogue.

I got 75% off surgeon simulator coupon on steam if anyone wants it hit me up. With the coupon the game will only be $2.50 USD, im not looking to trade i simply have no use for the coupon.

Anyone tried brejk.eu football manager online already? It’s free and so far it’s the best one I saw in the internetz. It’s in czech and english, but english community is small and almost dosn’t exist it seems… that should change I think!

See ya in Chile (or elsewhere)!

I’m REALLY on the fence with Wicther III as I’m a huge Skyrim fan I can’t help but think I’ll be making comparison throughout the whole game!

It’s nothing like Skyrim IMO.

Sure it’s an open world fantasy action RPG. But that’s where any similarities end… I really don’t get the constant need for comparisons (and that’s not me having a go at you either @Jinks) I just don’t understand it personally. I really enjoyed Skyrim. The Witcher is a whole different narrative, totally different characters, extremely story driven, with a very grey and gritty morally ambiguous notion of good / bad, right and wrong.

If people are uncertain about whether or not they should play the game simply because of the misplaced belief that it’s a Skyrim copy, then I can assure you that this is simply not the case. Try the game, and then be the judge. Personal preferences aside, you won’t know if you like or appreciate a game without first experiencing it.

Thanks @Earl_Thorn I appreciate the comment! I came by that thinking due to the many many topics comparing both games, It’s good to have detailed feedback from someone.

And as a fan of open world games I’ve decided to buy Witcher III having played the first two that should’ve been reason enough!

Don’t mention it mate :smile:

Assassins of Kings is one of my favourite RPG’s, certainly of the last decade. CDPR did an amazing job, and that really brought them into the spotlight. So having played and thoroughly enjoyed that, WIld Hunt was a no brainer for me… I’m maybe 15 hours in atm and really enjoying it

I wanted to second Earl Thorn’s comments. Witcher 3 is nothing like Skyrim. I’m a big fan of TES and I hardly ever find myself comparing W3 to Skyrim. Both are really fun games in their own right.
