VGS- The Witcher 3 Review - The Best RPG Game Ever?

VGS (102.1 The Edge) has released its official review of The Witcher 3! We look at the story, mechanics and gameplay elements that make it a contender for the best RPG ever.

Enough already it's killing me "where the hell is my postman"

Mariusmssj3636d ago

Got text from home saying it arrived, but I am stuck in work for another 6 hours :(

Hellsvacancy3636d ago

It's here, just gotta take my son to school then I get a nice few hour game time (before I go work myself damn it)

Mariusmssj3636d ago

Hope you enjoy the few hours you got!

Perjoss3636d ago

@Mariusmssj

you're suddenly feeling a bit dizzy and need to go home and 'lie down'

;)

Mariusmssj3636d ago

@Perjoss how did you know? I don't think I will be able to do much work with all the dizziness.

Hellsvacancy3636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

I really enjoyed what I played, not going work this afternoon, rang my boss earlier with my excuses

This game is really amazing, it met my every expectation, especially the gameplay and combat, I was expecting something good, but not this good, the gameplay really exceeded my expectations.

kraenk123636d ago (Edited 3636d ago )

Wrote it in another thread already: I just started playing and the first 10 minutes are already better than whole other games (not calling names) :)

starchild3636d ago

The combat just feels so responsive, brutal and quite tactical. You can't just mindlessly mash buttons like in some games, you really need to think, react and strategize. So, yeah, combat was definitely one of the things I was most pleasantly surprised about.

StrayaKNT3636d ago

Yeah the game is amazing easily one of the best rpgs ever made

Dynasty20213636d ago

Shame it's officially the last in the series but...I cant help but feel they may make another somehow.

If anything though, this release should be the injection CDPR need to officially become one of the recognized greats in the PC developer world.

Annoyed that they caved to Sony's and MS's demands about the console version - CDPR should have made the PC version then released a console version later - but still.

Damn fine work as this game is massive, not "empty" like Red Dead, every quest is unique, there's no "go here and collect 10 feathers" bollocks quests, and the world feels hand-crafted down to every rock.

Does anyone know if patch is part of digi version. Playing it just now, but caught between continuing, or falling back to witcher 2 on 360 for another playthrough first.

I_am_Batman3636d ago

Damn it. I should've started playing the Witcher series earlier. I want to play though the first two games first so I probably won't pick that one up for another couple of months.

I'm enjoying the Witcher 1 right now but it's kinda sad to know that everyone will be playing The Witcher 3 while I'm not :D

Si-Fly3636d ago

I don't think you'd miss a whole lot by playing them out of sync...

I_am_Batman3636d ago

I guess it takes place after The Witcher 1 and 2 right?

I'm sure CD Projekt made the game perfectly enjoyable without having played the predecessors, however I'd rather play them in order to get the full story and to understand the characters better. I always do it that way when I can.

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

TheEroica261d ago (Edited 261d ago )

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

Einhander1972261d 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.

TheEroica260d ago

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

seanpitt23261d ago (Edited 261d 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

Einhander1972261d 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.

crazyCoconuts261d 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.

darthv72261d ago

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

VersusDMC261d 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.

Becuzisaid261d ago

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

pwnmaster3000261d 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

Deeeeznuuuts261d 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!
