Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt – The game of all RPG games

IM PLAYIN discuss Witcher Wild Hunt.

"I am going to start this off by saying this isn’t going to be a review. There are plenty of them out there, and a fair share of critical opinions. So if you haven’t decided whether the Witcher is your cup of tea but want to know fast, I want to share 5 simple points with you. Mainly because you don’t need to read a 2,000 word review to understand whether the game is for you or not."

here's what's important to know: while the game is outstanding from the start - remember this.....the enemies do NOT scale up in difficulty as you level up, so when you reach a higher level, the game pretty much becomes a bore with nothing to do, no difficult enemies to fight and very little xp for beating anything ( I got 10 xp for beating a lvl 30 forktail, for example)

it's a game that's definitely worth the money - I got around 130 hours of great fun; but,not having the enemies level up with the player was a HUGE mistake by the devs....this game could have been even better.

Funny: every time an RPG has enemies that do scale with players, most everyone agrees that THAT'S a huge mistake.

And I kinda think you're missing the point. The Primary Aspect of Engagement with The Witcher 3 (or any of the Witcher games) is not and never has been the combat... it's always been the quests and narrative reactivity.

If you're playing the game to difficult random enemies out in the middle of nowhere, you'd be just as happy with a game like Dragon's Dogma, or your garden-variety MMO.

i see what you're saying and do agree - to a point. but, wouldn't you ALSO agree that if CDPR puts in swords that require level 42, 44, 45 and 48 to use them, they'd have prepared the game for players that reach the high 30s to have SOMETHING to do or fight in order to level up to those 40+ levels so those swords could be used? i don't think that's too much to ask or missing the point at all.
thanks for your input!

Xof3622d ago

Keep in mind there are two expansions planned, one of which doesn't add any new areas to explore.

The most logical explanation for that high-level stuff being there is simply so that it will be there to provide some traversal challenge to players working their way through the new quests in the first expansion.

Don't count on CDPR raising the level cap or adding new abilities.

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.

Einhander1972264d 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.

TheEroica263d ago

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

seanpitt23264d ago (Edited 264d 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

Einhander1972264d 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.

crazyCoconuts264d 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.

darthv72264d ago

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

VersusDMC264d 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.

Becuzisaid264d ago

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

pwnmaster3000264d 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

Deeeeznuuuts264d 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!
