The Witcher 3 Is Not Fun To Play (But The Quests Are Godly)

Witcher 2 was critically acclaimed but I just could not force myself to play it. I was hoping W3 would be better and simpler.



This gen is unlike any other. People are still looking for that "next gen" feeling so anything that promises that will sell well. People that would have avoided this game years ago are now hyped for it. More power to them.

Besides being Wow'ed by some of the connectivity and depth of some of the random sidequests in the prologue in Witcher 3, there i sthat one moment when the wind first picks up and its almost like a storm that is just breathtaking.  The look of the sky, the trees and the grass blowing insanely all around you, the sound of the wind, ect.  For this HUGE open world game it was just Jaw dropping.

That moment made me go, "wow this is next gen stuff"  Have not really felt that in any game I'v eplayed prior.  Everything else felt like could still be a ps3/360/WiiU game.  

Alan wake did the wind blowing through the forest much better though. I just had a rain storm in W3 and it was kinda comical, trees spasm out bending in odd places, weird popping sounds through the surround channels did not sound like trees rubbing together or branches rattling in the wind at all.
Walking though the wheat fields in the wind looks nice though.
