| OdinHades said: I played The Witcher 3 at release, which was a huge mistake. I played for about 3 hours and experienced quite a few bugs. Finally I was in some cellar with Geralt and he just refused to use the ladder to get back up. I was stuck down there and my last save was like an hour before. I lost all motivation and figured if I wanted to keep going, I had to save every two steps or something, managing multiple savegames like in Bethesda games. I really didn't want to do that. So I quit the game and never touched it again. I'm sure it is a great game and all, but in my memory, it will be forever known as "The Glitcher 3". |
The Glitcher 3, haha. Yeah, at launch I fell in a hole in the middle of nowhere and couldn't get out. There were quite a few bugs at launch but by the time I was nearing the end of my playthrough and ready to start my next for the platinum they had ironed all that out apart from a few QoL issues like the sluggish map and inventory messiness. But I assure you, since then, I played in 2020 again and it was a perfect experience, the graphics hold up, the production value etc. It's not aging like milk so to say and they have that next gen upgrade, I've not tried it but it look s great on PRO in HDR anyway and I assure you that it's worth it if you have two hundred hours or so cause you'll want to do everything and play through the expansions as well.
Main tip, play on the hardest difficulty, it brings out all the nuance of the game and makes you engage in mechanics you'd brute force through without if you go easier. It balances out and becomes a normal gameplay experience half way in anyway through itemaztion and your own skill. Don't overlook it cause of launch issues, of course if you have the time to invest and you want all other games to go out the window when you're hopelessly addicted.
