Witcher 3 - Will Be A Top Game of 2015
 
A game website called Game Criticism calls Witcher III one of the top Games of 2015, and list a few reasons why they think it will be, I for one agree with those bold words.

Quote:

The Witcher 3 has been made perfect and it justifies delay of one of the best RPGs till now. Series of Withcher games are actually based upon Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski’s books. That is why the setting of these games is of medieval era filled with imaginary. A monster hunter with unimaginative powers is one of the few witchers that managed to survive. First game of this series was released in 2007 then the sequel came in 2011 and rated as one of the top Role Playing Games ever made. Let’s explore why it will be hot favorite game of 2015.

More information.

I wonder with all the advanced meshes, new anim systems and shaders will there be MODs for these AAA games?

rjshae January 13th, 2015 17:37

He had "unimaginative powers"? Is that like the ability to slice bread? Perhaps he meant "unimaginable powers"?

azarhal January 13th, 2015 17:50

The game is not even release yet and people already call it the best thing of 2015?

and that website has really annoying ads.

Japol January 13th, 2015 18:54

After all the delays and hype,it better be!

That is why Adblock comes to the rescue! ;)

Might & Magic XV will be the best game of 2025.

Hastar January 13th, 2015 20:22

That is a bold prediction about Witcher 3. Like saying the Sun will rise tomorrow.

Couchpotato January 13th, 2015 21:58

What a bunch of complainers you lot are. Your perfect for each other.:biggrin:

Now back on topic we all know Witcher III will be GOTY next year.;)

ilm January 13th, 2015 22:03

RGOTY maybe. Luckily for us it will have lots of competition.

For GOTY there is another release the 24 of March

zahratustra January 13th, 2015 22:44

Yup, this guy boldly predicts what no man has predicted before.

North America reviewers don't like Middle-European RPGs, it got no multiplayer and the game is too AAA for grognards. It just can't win on the GOTY market. There is also competition this year…


This is kind of a joke…The Witcher 2 actually won a few GOTY.

Darkant January 14th, 2015 01:25

Witcher1&2 are really good games,have no doubt W3 will be good too..

Dean January 14th, 2015 10:06

Well at least no one is hyping this game up to the point that they will be horribly disappointed when it doesn't out to be "exactly, precisely, thoroughly, and wholly everything they are expecting.:biggrin:

Glad we're avoiding that unrealistic expectation. :rolleyes:

Humor us. What's being released March 24th? Also, what does the acronym RGOTY mean?

Dean January 14th, 2015 10:30

GTA:V gets released March 24th.

That is, if they don't delay it yet again.

GothicGothicness January 14th, 2015 11:18

Well, if TW3 is not the best game ever, I'll be extremely disappointed. :greedy:

I assumed 'Role-playing Game of the Year'?

Some will argue that its one of the best RPG series of all time :D

No clue … Not my original post :)

Personally I think Witcher 3 will rock but not likely end up as GOTY because it isn't from a connected enough company

Morrandir January 14th, 2015 13:34

The only GOTY award that really counts is the watch's GOTY award. ;)
And I think it will have good winning chances.

screeg January 14th, 2015 16:28

GOTY it may be, but lets not forget you'll have to buy a brand new rig to play it, and a fancy one if you want to make the recommended specs.

Moriendor January 14th, 2015 16:38

By RGOTY he probably meant runner-up GOTY behind GTA V.

Not such a fancy one really. I'm on a tight budget but I have managed to put together something very close to the recommended specs. The only difference being GTX 760 rather than 770.

GTA V shouldn't even be considered as it was originally released last year.

I have already re-played both the first two games during this past summer. Now I am knee deep into the books. Though I am not sure what to expect from the this up and coming third game.

I was very excited about it a few months ago, now I am not to sure what I feel about it.

The open world and adding a second playable character. The more I think about this the more it seems like there could be a lot of failure in making these choices in how the game has been made.

I am sure it will look great and what I have seen of the combat I like. But will it be as story driven? How will it all change with the second character?

I will still be looking to buy a new system sometime now in April instead of right now. I am not going to cancel my pre-order either. I just hope they haven't taken on more than they needed too.

For the right 'donation' they could get Dungeon Lords considered by most magazines/sites ;)

Arkadia7 January 15th, 2015 04:49

Yea, I choked on my porridge when I saw the specs they were recommending. I felt like John McEnroe shouting, "You cannot be serious!" Not sure if the new laptop I have in mind will meet even the minimum CPU spec.

I don't get why you're so concerned about being able to play as Ciri. You do realize it's only for certain parts, right? It's not as if they're having to write a second perspective for the entire game.

Quote:

A central figure in both The Witcher books and the new game, Ciri will be playable during special sections of the game's plot. "Ciri is playable only during certain moments in the game - we introduce her to give gamers another perspective in the story to make it even more engaging," said CD Proket Red's Robert Malinwoski. "You won't play as her for long periods of time, but since she's crucial to the plot, we thought that additional insight will allow gamers to better bond with this cool character."

DArtagnan January 15th, 2015 10:22

Why are we talking about this now? I say let's take it up once it's released and we've played through it :)

lostforever January 15th, 2015 13:21

After playing bit of DAI, I am also bit worried how the open world aspect will affect Witcher 3. I really enjoyed story and NPC interactions in the past Bioware and Witcher games. However I feel that story and NPC have taken backseat in DAI due the open world aspect. I am a good 40 hours into DAI but I don’t feel that I have progressed with the story or got to know my party members. In fact I don’t think I have recruited all the possible party members yet! In the past Bio games, 40 hours is bit more than 50% of the game!

Anyway don’t get me wrong, I am having lots of fun with DAI but its different kind of fun to what I was expecting.
