Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Dex]

So I've been wanted to play this for the last couple of years but have been slacking in the video game department mostly due to work and having a social life again. But this past weekend I didn't really feel like going out so I picked up the Witcher 3: Complete Edition for $50 on PS4. Normally I would get it on my PC or wait for the Steam summer sale but I'm but I'm getting sick of sitting in front a computer screen gaming for hours in my old age. So getting it on PS4 offered the comfort and convenience I was after. Anyway lol, I finally had a weekend off from any side projects and put about 12 hours into this game. I'm mad at myself for not getting it sooner. I played both 1 & 2 and this one is significant step up. It's helping quench my thirst for Elder Scrolls 6 (which I assure you I will get on PC). The freedom and choices make this game an RPG wet dream. I look forward to the upcoming long holiday weekend to log some more hours. Anyone else play it?

I played a lot of it but didn't finish and didn't play DLC.   I want to start back but I know I'll forget where I was so a new playthrough would happen.  Not sure I want to do that lol.   It was fantastic though.   Lots of hours on it.   Side quests are so fleshed out too.  

 

They are making a Netflix show about the books, that'll be awesome hopefully.

I bought the complete edition on Xbox over the holidays, never played it. Just picked it up, and man...I can't wait to get lost!

Destiny really fuged me in terms of me playing other games. I have a week off this summer and maybe I will be able to dive back in, but I'd really like to finish Breath of the Wild too. 

Witcher is so much fun, but iirc I'm kind of at a point where all my quests are a much higher level than me (like 30s and I'm a 15 or something). I probably need to back track and pick up a bunch of side quests that are manageable to boost my level some. 

 

I like the Witcher's lore better than Skyrim, but I still think Skyrim is a more appealing game to me just because you can casually pick it up and start dominating. Witcher is more rewarding but takes more time.

I explored the entire opening continent to get my level up. It is incredibly easy to get yourself destroyed in that game though.. It's unforgiving like dark souls

Blood and wine is possibly the best expansion I've ever played.

One of my favorite games of all time. Poured a TON of hours into it, finished the main story line, and didn't come close to playing all the side quests.

 

Also, may or may not have gotten addicted to playing Gwent (?) the card game anytime I played.  Such a great game with a ton to do and keep you interested.

This is the latest game to actually break my top 10 all-time list. loved this game

Excellent but overwhelming game. I sunk a bunch of hours into it, stopped and am now intimidated to start again. I've never seen a game so big. Controls are a little wonky too but I liked it a lot.

Pretty much every moment I have to game has been put into Witcher 3 =)

(I've even been skipping my Destiny weeklies!!!  Shame!)

What a wonderful game!  I am still getting used to the controls, but I'm just loving running around and learning the systems.  Still need to work on finding the right ingredients and cash.  Cash is the hard part =)
