I went back in when they released the next-gen upgrade. I thought I'd check it out to see the changes & do a few quests.
I ended up replaying the whole game all over again in death march difficulty, including hearts of stone & am now back in Toussaint.
I simply couldn't stop. Once again it was the quests & stories of this game that just clicked with me. I still cared for the stories. They're so well made & written.

But also, the hugely improved loading times (nothing took longer than 8-10 seconds), the graphical improvements, extra foliage & crowds, the camera work (I set my settings to close) & especially the new sign casting controls made for a more than ever immersive & enjoyable experience. & the Skellige music, which to this day is one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard in a video game.

It was already a masterpiece in 2015, & it still is to this day.
The Witcher 3 is one of the best games I've ever played.

I ended up deleting it from my PS5 because if CDPR is good at anything these days it's disappointing people. The performance was so underwhelming and choppy i couldn't play it. Lol smooth 60fps it says in the options menu.. sure.

CobraKai406d ago

I’m ready to dive back in. I was about to but then heard about the next gen update. This was a great game in 2015, and even then it wasn’t perfect, but it was fantastic all the same.

anast406d ago

I'm with you. I appreciate the sign controls.

blackblades406d ago

I had that for like 5 years or more and never beat it. Stop around maybe before the half mark I guess idk. Might get back on it now.

Still no next gen patch for switch? switch version is still v3.70!! Please CDR, I want to use my switch save file to my PS5!

DankSinatra406d ago

I doubt they would ever give the switch a next gen patch. They had to severely downgrade the original to get it playable. The next gen version is giving issues for next gen consoles and pc.

repsahj406d ago

There is no need to improve the graphics of the switch, they just need to have the same patch version so that the cloud saving can be used and transferred.

I think the switch, ps4, and xbox1 save files can't be used in the cloud save to transfer to XSX and PS5 because the patch version is different.

DankSinatra406d ago

“There is no need to improve the graphics of the switch“

That’s quite literally the point of version 4.0. I highly doubt they’ll actually update the switch to that version as the only purpose for that version is the graphics overhaul and other tweaks. It wouldn’t make sense to update the switch to the “Next Gen” version just for the cloud save.

--Onilink--406d ago (Edited 406d ago )

Cross save is not only something they have advertised, but something that currently works between other platforms.
Making sure that continues to work on all platforms is definitely something that makes sense and I see no reason why they couldn’t release that update on other consoles without the graphical upgrades
They even did mention they were going to update it, they just havent said when

henryjonas59406d ago

Great article. Tanks for sharing.

jznrpg406d ago

I will go and play again this on PS5 with the DLC eventually

repsahj406d ago

Some players experience errors more frequently in all versions, especially on PC because of this patch. But so far I have not experienced any on my PS5.

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan20d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

.... from the 2000s (mostly).

shinoff218344d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name44d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno44d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno44d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure43d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
