The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt review - Wild at heart | Eurogamer

A majestic, earthy open-world adventure with great integrity and personality, this is the best role-playing game in years.

Damn me and my gluttony. This is the first game I have bought for my PS4 in what feels like an age - GTA being the last. I suspected it would not be my bag, despite all the glowing reviews (such as this) doing the rounds. Roughly 1 hour in I can tell already I was indeed correct, I am unlikely to enjoy it and less likely to give it much more playtime. Obviously a great game for many people but I should know in future to stick to Nintendo, almost all their games have me hooked in the first few minutes. Each his own.

People have different tastes. I feel the same way about most of the Nintendo games. Playing games that look like cartoons and jumping on platforms are just not fun for me. Others may love them and I am fine with that. Personally, I like my games with a decent plot, some resemblance to the real world, mature underlying themes and deep gamepla. Witcher 3 is all that with its tackling of issues like racism, politics, religious fanaticism, war and morality along with a deep gameplay and huge world full of quests and interesting people to explore.
By the way, care to share your PSN ID? Maybe we can play together sometime?

I went in totally dismissing all the previews and reviews, as I find them to be so awful to read when they over praise something.

"Is 'X' LITERALLY orgasmic for your current gen console?!" That's how pretty much all of it reads to me. I'm so sick of the damn hype machine consuming everyone up in it.
That being said; I am digging TW3. I certainly am not going to drown it in the bathtub of hyperbole, but I really am enjoying it.
I'm sorry you aren't really digging it, but at least you tried to go out of your comfort zone. I just got past the opening zone, and immidiately went back to it to finish the quests I had. I really want to get back to playing it.
People went on about how it's story driven, and that's how it feels, even the side quests. I really like the dialogue in this game.

This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.

Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.

Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games

Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.

Einhander1972280d ago

At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.

This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies

Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.

TheEroica279d ago

14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.

seanpitt23280d ago (Edited 280d ago )

They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..

How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on

Einhander1972280d ago

PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.

And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.

Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.

crazyCoconuts280d ago

Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.

darthv72280d ago

For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.

VersusDMC280d ago

Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.

Becuzisaid280d ago

I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.

pwnmaster3000280d ago

I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did

Deeeeznuuuts280d ago

Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
