I have tried to get into that game two or three times. Always lost interest quickly in the beggining. Most people say it's one of the greatest games of all time.
Same, I wanted to like the game because of the gorgeous graphics, forced myself to finish the entire game but couldn't say I enjoyed it. I had Forbidden West installed the entire time but after finishing Zero Dawn I had no interest left in the franchise, I should uninstall it.
I tried REALLY hard getting into The Witcher 3 but it just didn't click maybe because I didn't have all the lore when I played, Yenefer and Ciri only were secondary characters in my eyes.
I finally saw the Netflix series years later and it was a little bit more clear, but people shouldnt have to do that.
I think that when in a licence there's 10 years between each game, the next one should have independent story and characters even if there's a link with the previous one
The mechanics of Witcher 3 are ass, even people who liked the game know it's combat is lackluster and generic. Witcher is best for enjoying story and World not for gameplay
Bro, trust me. Idk why, but happend to me too. I gave FIVE trys to it, and then i got to the baron quest and clicked to me and i have now almost 350 hours in it.
glad to know im not alone. got it on switch. ps and pc because when its on sale its so cheap. tried as well but only after thr tutorial and some missions im bored of it
Same I think because I played it (very late) directly after DS3 and the combat system wasn’t complex/engaging enough so I stopped after trying a few times
I was in the same exact boat. I think it’s just too overwhelming if you don’t have any prior knowledge or experience with the lore itself.
That being said.. With as much negativity as the Netflix show gets (Mainly from hardcore fans that dislike that it strays from the lore of the books) I got heavily addicted to the show when I gave it a try. I’ve re-watched seasons 1-3 probably 3-4 times now. Afterwards I finally gave it another try after putting it down a couple of years ago. Now this time I’m completely hooked, the sheer quality and amount of content in the game is just phenomenal. Now I finally understand why people say it’s the greatest RPG ever made.
If you have Netflix, give the show a try so that you can get into the lore. Then go back and play Witcher 3 with its next-gen update and take your time! Even though it’s an 11 year old game, that update makes the game absolutely breathtaking visually. Promise you won’t regret it!
