The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Review | Hooked Gamers

HG:
We rode into town like a couple of hombres, the sun warming the steel upon our backs. The townspeople stared at us wide-eyed, as we sauntered past, whispering to their friends. There was a certain smell in the air, but I couldn’t tell if it was the smell of fear, or just the pigs in their pen, wallowing in their own filth. We hopped off our steeds and wandered up to the local establishment. Tavern patrons were likely to be the best avenue for information and the wench serving the drinks was not hard to look upon either. We walked in but found our path blocked by a couple of muscular types. We were not wanted here, it seemed. That happens quite often. We’re Witchers, and people often dislike things that are different. But our quest will continue regardless.

Terrible timing on posting this article...

You're competing with 2x "fanboy wars" opinion pieces, and a sales report! Everything else on N4G is in deep freeze until those other "articles" blow over.

Nice review though, totally agree!

kraenk123634d ago

To me it's the only game competing with TLOU and RDR for the crown of best game I ever played.

susanto12283634d ago

10/10?

So your telling me that this game IS PERFECT I guess that's why
they are releasing patches every week huh?

A 10/10 game is flawless with zero problems

I seem to remember Xbox one players complaining about save games and PS4 players complaining about quests breaking and such 10/10 huh....Nah I don't think so

Dfooster3634d ago (Edited 3634d ago )

What if after everything being considered that the slight issues knock a quarter point off so it's a 9.75/10 rounded up its still a 10

Sketchy_Galore3634d ago

You think their scoring system goes up to a point it's literally impossible for anything to achieve ever? Why would they do that?

Dfooster3634d ago (Edited 3634d ago )

10/10 doesn't mean a game is perfect this is what you need to realise because that would imply that the 10 score is only reserved for that last 1% and anything 99% or lower is the equivalent to a 9/10.

In fact the best way of converting a 10/10 into a percentage score is anything 95% or above. That means that it could lose 5% on technical issues and still score a 10

Perjoss3634d ago

No such thing as a perfect game just because an opinion, review or score for a game is subjective. I might think Uncharted 2 or Read Dead Redemption are perfect 10's but to someone else who is only into strategy games or simulators for example they might be total garbage.

Its impossible to be wrong about your own opinion.

Scatpants3634d ago

So when a movie gets 5 stars is that a perfect movie? That's not how reviewing works. I would give Witcher 3 a 10 as well it is easily the best RPG I've ever played.

starchild3634d ago

No game is perfect. EVERY game has negative aspects. EVERY game has bugs. Even the most linear games have bugs. Massive open world games logically tend to have more bugs.

The Witcher 3 has overall been a pretty solid launch for me. I haven't had any crashes or game-breaking bugs, only a handful of minor bugs.

The Witcher 3 looks like such an epic time. CD Projekt Red's outdone themselves this time...when the darn game works.

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

TheEroica271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

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

Einhander1972271d 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.

TheEroica270d ago

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

seanpitt23271d ago (Edited 271d 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

Einhander1972271d 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.

crazyCoconuts271d 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.

darthv72271d ago

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

VersusDMC271d 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.

Becuzisaid271d ago

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

pwnmaster3000271d 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

Deeeeznuuuts271d 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!
