After almost 200 hrs playing The Witcher 3, and currently on my 2nd playthrough, I realize how terrible the game is. I'm going to keep playing just to make sure I still hate it.
Stage 1 of Witcher 3 addiction: Wow, this is the greatest game ever Stage 2: Oh wow…there’s a lot of stuff in this game that doesn’t really work Stage 3: *I CAN FIX IT* Stage 4: Subscribing to Xletalis
After slightly south of 2k hours I totally agree. I should play a 2nd no fast travel, no sprinting to objectives other than canonically necessary, lore accurate Geralt run just to confirm the game still sucks
Bruh, when I start playing the game can't put the controller down. It's been a while since a game peaked my interest like this. I just got to smash Keira Mets 👍👍👍.
@@watchmo2310I was heavily addicted to xans to the point I tried killing myself with em and barely survived cold turkey. shut the fuck up and take a joke bruh. Also theres truth to oc cuz over a year later I think about the witcher more then I do xans and can never get away from the game but I found my peace wit addiction.
I think keeping Witcher 3 main story long is absolutely a good idea giving each character and story emotional depth. Also it is a story based game. It is based on a novel not just children story books. If they rushed it they will ruin the story
So happy to get a notification from you again! And to make such valid points at that! I've been missing your videos, seriously. Hope you're good and your family as well.
What scares me most is all your arguments make perfect sense. It's kind of terrifying how this video can manipulate someone who never played the game into admitting how bad they're told it supposedly is.
Never played the game and never watched reviews or gameplay longer than a minute. I heard it has problems, maybe it's just cause it went open world, although this video makes it seem worse than Skyrim. I mostly played Witcher 1 and a bit of 2. I wasn't a fan of turning the series into a full action RPG and dating sim. The moment I played 2, I was wondering where the real geralt was, didn't like his new look
I played the witcher 3 for the first time this year and gave up after 40 hours. It took me until the end to realize this was an april fools video because I was actually agreeing with all of his points 💀
@@MUIDYLANICE Do you even know what that means? I know what he's saying. But I'm saying that the DLCs are actually good imo and the only good thing about The Witcher 3.
The Witcher 3 is the only game i refuse to delete. No matter if i need space or not. No matter if im playing it or not. You never know when that itch will return.
This is obvious. It literally only took me 750 hours to realize what a heap of garbage this game is. I'm gonna keep playing to uncover more terrible flaws... for science.

they are technically not lies but they're practically not that bad. and the fall damage has been fixed plus Roach can actually jump over obstacles. So Roach getting stuck on pebbles is actually the gamer's fault. 🤣
@@marcrindermann9482 I know. I've already spend a three digit number of hour with the Witcher 3, so much time I'm even too ashamed to say explicitly. And I still get back to the game again and again just to make sure how much I hate it, as some other people has said in comment section :P
This is April fools joke but for those that actually think the game is overrated , you have to understand no game is “perfect” gameplay wise or storytelling wise . But the fact that tw3 allows so many people to be immersed in the story, gameplay, and world is what makes it a masterpiece . I literally felt like I wanted to live inside the Witcher world when I was 15 playing this game the first time .
Damn I really wish I felt like this while I playing this game cus I really wanna understand what the hype around this game is about. Last week I legit installed to give it an other chance played it for a couple hours and then uninstalled it. Am I not enjoying it as much because I haven’t read the books? or played the other games? How do yall enjoy this game because I wanna like it too
@@Noir-c9k i havent read the books but enloy it to the maximum. Maybe try to enjoy the scenery, the jokes, the drama, the action. if you like medival and mythological themed games then it shouldnt be a problem. Maybe try to actually learn the game and its lore instead of just playing the game superficially. Make yourself enjoy the idea of a mutant knight who has superhuman abilities that roam the continent alone with two badass swords, killing monsters. you are also playing as a detective sorta. Your every action and choices of words will have a drastic change of the outcome of the game. there is so much more to this game than just it beinhg another open world game.
Exactly! I had done several playthroughs and 300+ hours.... haven't touched it since 2021 until I saw this video...IMMEDIATELY got an overwhelming urge to start a New Game 🤓 😎 ⚔
Uma-nnefer and selling Ciri will never not be funny! I love how you splashed in so many references to your best hits and it still worked perfectly. Keep it up man, you're the best!
Every single thing he said is 100% true, which is why I was never able to get into this game. But the biggest reason was the clunky movement and combat, absolutely atrocious.
Finally someone said it ! I never understood the hype. I finished it like 5 or 6 times to be shure but never found the "masterpiece" others talked about. Thank you for restoring the truth
I know this is an april fools joke but unironically I never found a liking for this game. Everyone calls it a masterpiece and I played it twice, it’s a decent game but definitely not as great people are talking about, I wish I liked this game as much as yall but it’s just meh at best for me.
@@Noir-c9kbecause it is a game that sets the standard for what other games should be held up to. Yes it’s buggy and some stuff may not work at times. It is by no means a PERFECT game but it manages to capture something that a lot of games try to capture but fail (destiny for ex.) which is capture the lore AND the gameplay + story building at the same time. Only games Like god of war manage to do that cause mixing long azz lore in a short game and keeping it interesting is hard. Also you get 2 full separate games and one has like a whole race of higher vampires all for like 15 bucks. It’s by no means a perfect game but it’s a game that keeps you interested in its world long after you’re done playing it. Seriously I looked into all the lore of all the monsters after killing them cause some of them are genuinely terrifying like the leshen. It’s not a perfect game but game developers who want to make an interesting world should definitely take notes from this game
@guts4300 it's not a joke it's facts this is an overrated game 😂just because it has nudity is the only reason it done well 😂look how cheap it is to buy compared to sleeping dogs that's still a mid priced game after all these years
I get that this is an Aoril Fools joke but a lot of his complaints are true. But i find the main quest and its characters compelling, or I would have quit playing a while ago. I hated Gwent and horse racing, crafting and alchemy is so-so, and these are things I've absolutely loved in other games. At first i thought the world was beautiful but after a while it felt repititious and uninteresting. Truly the scenery in Elder Scrolls games is much more beautiful and interesting, and those worlds more immersive and fun to explore. And i absolutely hate having dialogue choices on a timer. I also hate that i cant take initiative to unexpectedly kill some of the characters unless its scripted. Truly, this game is so inferior to Skyrim it reminds me how vastly underrated that game truly is. 0:02
I know this is the April Fool's video, but I 100% agree with what you said about all the crafting diagrams. I collect everything as I go and the non-witcher items only serve to clog up the crafting menus. I have never crafted a single one of those things and wish you could hide them.
This is the first game that made me Cry, when I finished the game I cryed and was fulfilled by grief like I have lost someone I love, the game is beautiful, the story, the sistems, the soundtrack, the chatacters, if you keep searching for little fails of course you gonna find it, this game was release NINE years ago and still best than a lot of games from today. If you dont like, dont play, but dont you dare to say the witcher 3 is bad, because its not, I literally became a better person because I played this game
This may be an April Fools video, but I've watched it and agree completely unironically. 2:06 About those jumps. Remember Geralt from opening cinematic for Witcher 1? THAT Geralt could have jumped around like that no problem, Assasin's Creed style.
The witcher is the most hated character in history, and rightly so. There is nothing he does right. He's a simple minded killing machine. Thank you for this long overdue truth. Love.
The only thing that bothers me is that during combat mode, you're not allowed to open doors & do other actions outside the combat mode which is kinda frustrating considering there're several quests regarding you to pursue the target
THANK GOD!! I was thinking.. "Whats goin' on ???!!!!". Somehow it hurt my feelings... All this years, and the videos we spent... And still I am watching XLetalis-Videos... This game is just a timeless masterpiece with it's simplicity in some matters, but it's overall-doing for a big audience is just brilliant. Thanks XLetalis for still reporting... 👍👍👍
You should really play bg3, you'd like it, it'd give you something new to play and enjoy. or try the old legacy of kain: soul reaver 1/2/defiance games. They're pretty deep stuff, or try the elder scrolls oblivion, it's deeper than people think if you give it a chance. (get oblivion character overhaul for better faces, better cities for better cities, and a level scaling mod to fix enemies scaling with ur level and thats all u need) Infact elder scrolls, and especially oblivion has some of the deepest lore and lore rabbit holes of all time and it's really excellent written stuff, and it was a pioneer for modern AI in games. As I know there is not much W3 content u can do anymore. Or you could always play W3 again lol. But you could expand your horizons, there is a lot of crap out there, infact most of it is crap, but there are a few gems that aren't just the witcher 3, you should really give one or all of those a try.
The fact that everything said in this video is so accurate that it barely works as an April fools, The witcher 3 is truly one of a kind. You just keep on playing, it's always more enjoyable every time despite all the minor problems, crazy !
Jokes aside most of this is actually good criticism and not just bullshit for April Fools. But the good things about the game far outweigh Roach's movement (which still sucks by the way).
I agree, this game was so poorly made, a common CDPR product, just like Ubisoft!!! Poor quality, numerous bugs and glitches and, most likely, rushed through production without the first f**k given!!! I only bought the game for around $20 dollars. It's the complete edition and pre-owned. For $20 it was worth the price considering everything that came included. After CP2077, I'll not buy anymore games from this company!
It has this vibe man. I don't play it regularly anymore, but once in a while i get this urge, and go to a village in Velen while is raining and 'THE WINDS ARE HAULING', and just slow riding the horse till i stumble into something new, it's so relaxing for me .
This game is absolutely terrible. I share all the same sentiments. Gameplay, mechanics, combat system, crafting. I've tried to play this multiple times over that past 5 years and I can't get even 10 hours into to it. So boring.
Thank you xLetalis! You made another video of Witcher 'hard truths' for us. Fantastic! I laughed so hard at "Even Andrzej Sapkowski would survive that fall!" Holy crap, that was funny. I also remember laughing until I cried when you told us how Triss was 'the worst' last (?) April: *Geralt* - Lambert, Lambert. What a prick. *xLetalis* - What's just what Triss said!!! You're a genius at the dead-pan delivery. And you're right... I can feel the call of that game... whispering in my mind "come spend another 120 hours of your life with me" 🤣
finally exposing that game properly i see, ive actually taken it upon myself to finish it 5 times, 3 of those on deathmarch and most all playthroughs were completionist ones, about 800 hours. just so i can properly distil my disdain for this game down to the last nuance. and i will keep on putting in time every other month just so i can hate it even more.
*I hate that the scale for leveling isn't progressive, also the leveling is bad and it counteracts a lot of the fun I would have had if it was skill based instead of strictly numbers. It gives the player free rein with exploration and quests, so most of the progression goes to waste because you have to level up and the game is completely ruined. The basic combat is fine as a mechanic, but the enemies hit you before you've even landed an attack, and the only thing worth this mess called Witcher is the main story, the free roaming, side quests and exploration are completely wasted thanks to the abhorrent level design.*
People are shitposting in the comments but I genuinely do think that TW3 is indeed one of the most overrated games. The story is good to great, the world is nice, gwent is nice until you get OP cards and duels are no longer challenging. The progression systems such as loot, crafting, gear, talent points, etc are largely pointless and climax about 20-30 hours in because you can literally go through the game's combat encounters with a blindfold on Death March. Same exact issues reveal itself in CP77 and get even worse about 20-30 hours in, it's like they want to play action games but need to do their loots, craftings, talent trees, skills that are ultimately meaningless.
I honestly truly never liked this game. I've recently started to enjoy it though but only with the hud totally off and at max difficulty. The design of how most things work is why I hate this game plus the hype. It's a good rpg especially for many years now since no one make rhis level of rpg anymore that isnt a lame ass open world checklist.
Tbf some of the points of this video are right, like how clunky the movements and combat are, and horse riding. I know the point of this video was to be sarcastic but I believe the channel's owner aware of TW3's flaws
I didnt realize this was an april fools joke lol. I really dont see what draws people to this game. It took me 100h to beat the base game and the entire time i was waiting for it to get good which never happened
I'll be honest although he is joking the points are to the most part valid. The gameplay, movement, and crafting especially were kinda accurate. This is coming from someone with 250 hours on Witcher 3 btw
Oh yes, and now today when I played I have the same exp of the video 0:11, but with the monster and with the horse, in other parts sometimes also happen uu
I'm curious tho, are you interested in the idea of making a video discussing the negative points of the game ? Just to give some personnal exemples : extremely poor ending of the main game where everyone dissapears and you pop at kaer morhen depressed, dissapointing lack of lore at the end of eredin, avalach just dissapear, lodge dissapear, no new dialogues with anyone, no news of priscilla health after her quest other than a very small mention at toussait prison, radovid death pretty much has 0 impact ingame, some "bad" quests that doesnt make sense, no new quests after the maingame end, cut off content for exemple the witcher ciri quest, cant kill the third crone with any of the good endings, toussaint graphics (just started Blood and Wine for the second time and it took me 3 hours to find mods to fix the terrible blur and feeling of low res textures). For my second playthrough of the game, i kept having a feeling of emptiness witnessing the wide number of """bad""" things this game has, i was particularly striked by the low amount of voicelines of some main character, you can almost count on your fingers the scenes with yennefer for example. Also the many bugs, glitching guards, had a decent amount of crashes despite having a good computer and mod free game, i got at multiple times the time freeze bug where i found online discussion about it from 8 years ago, some terribly bugged quests like gang of novigrad that still havent been fixed ... Overall this game is obviously awesome but as a completionist and someone who easely get pretty involved in things i like, it is also a bit of a torture playing it because it has many flaws. So, how about a video where you give an honest opinion on things you dislike/are sad about/would have changed ? :) (Sorry for all the mistakes i'm french )
Sorry, I know it's very unlikely you will read this, but I have some things I would like to add: Replaying The Witcher 3 ended up being almost depressing because it's my second playthrough. I first played it back when it came out, and I was around 16 years old. Now, at almost 25, playing the game through a more mature mindset clearly didn't help because all the little flaws appear much clearer. Throughout the entirety of the game, I kept asking myself, "I wish they would have made more content out of this and that." The lack of news from the Baron after he left with his wife, for example, is an understandable choice from CDPR, but the complete absence of news is sad because with a quest this good and complex, it would have been a very powerful emotional moment. For example, if we could have found the Baron and his wife in Toussaint. Same for the story sharing between the witchers around the table at Kaer Morhen, do Geralt really just have the White Orchard griffin contract to talk about ? I have yet to complete Toussaint, but I remember well that the dialogues with Regis are extremely well done and complete, with a nice slow pace. I even remember thinking that CDPR took more pleasure in writing dialogues between him and Geralt than with Triss/Yennefer/Dandelion/Ciri... which left me quite empty seeing how superior the content with Regis is. I had a lot of hopes when I heard about the 4.0 update, hoping it would bring fixes for all the emptiness and poor quantity of dialogues, absence of closures (talking to Roche after the main game? No new dialogues, same for Zoltan and the (few) rest of characters). I really thought CDPR would, as a last spread of love for a game we all cherished, resolve all these. But now I/we are hit with the fact that the game is 8 years old, that many of the voice actors have changed, or are simply unreachable because it wouldn't be worth it to get them into recording studios to do some more voicelines to please some depressed dudes who already paid for the game years ago. And CDPR seems to be busy making other things (Witcher 1 remake, I believe). To conclude, congrats if you made it to the end of my horrible monologue. I love The Witcher 3, I just hoped, with the success and the passion brought by so many people, almost a decade after the release, that CDPR would fix some things because, as an outsider of the gaming industry, it """just feels quite easy to do""" (the quotes are important).
also ive never had issues like that with roach, like i watched you fail so much and i couldnt help but feel this has to be a skill issue, like ive never struggled that much on roach XD
Witcher 3 gameplay is awful and the fanboys can't accept that. Awful perk system, spammy braindead combat, awful alchemy, awful gear progression, awful loot system, easy even on death march, etc... The game was made for casual gamers, it is a couch game. Go raise your standards for gameplay. Most of us don't care about stuff like games should be like movies or cutscenes or voice acting. Gameplay is the most important thing and the Witcher 3 gameplay is garbage. Witcher 3 gameplay sometimes feels like watching a Benny Hill parody.
After almost 200 hrs playing The Witcher 3, and currently on my 2nd playthrough, I realize how terrible the game is. I'm going to keep playing just to make sure I still hate it.

This might be an April Fool jokes but some of what he says is actually true.
Every single thing he said is 100% true, which is why I was never able to get into this game. But the biggest reason was the clunky movement and combat, absolutely atrocious.
Someone stop him! He’s selling Ciri again!
Let's call it renting at this point.
Witcher 2 is better, it's a more focused game what respects the players time, a 20 hour main story with around 10 hours of side content.
Everybody knows that the best adaptation of Witcher series is by Netflix.
Me watching Witcher 3: 😠
It is April Fool's Day but some things are no joking matter some things are so boring they shouldn't be even mentioned
Everything was spot on until he got to Triss. Yennifer? You have to have major levels of self loathing to be with that trash lol
Finally someone said it ! I never understood the hype. I finished it like 5 or 6 times to be shure but never found the "masterpiece" others talked about. Thank you for restoring the truth
I know this is an april fools joke but unironically I never found a liking for this game. Everyone calls it a masterpiece and I played it twice, it’s a decent game but definitely not as great people are talking about, I wish I liked this game as much as yall but it’s just meh at best for me.
@@Noir-c9k it's over bro, april fool was 2 days ago
@@Noir-c9kbecause it is a game that sets the standard for what other games should be held up to. Yes it’s buggy and some stuff may not work at times. It is by no means a PERFECT game but it manages to capture something that a lot of games try to capture but fail (destiny for ex.) which is capture the lore AND the gameplay + story building at the same time. Only games Like god of war manage to do that cause mixing long azz lore in a short game and keeping it interesting is hard. Also you get 2 full separate games and one has like a whole race of higher vampires all for like 15 bucks. It’s by no means a perfect game but it’s a game that keeps you interested in its world long after you’re done playing it. Seriously I looked into all the lore of all the monsters after killing them cause some of them are genuinely terrifying like the leshen. It’s not a perfect game but game developers who want to make an interesting world should definitely take notes from this game
@guts4300 it's not a joke it's facts this is an overrated game 😂just because it has nudity is the only reason it done well 😂look how cheap it is to buy compared to sleeping dogs that's still a mid priced game after all these years
I get that this is an Aoril Fools joke but a lot of his complaints are true. But i find the main quest and its characters compelling, or I would have quit playing a while ago. I hated Gwent and horse racing, crafting and alchemy is so-so, and these are things I've absolutely loved in other games. At first i thought the world was beautiful but after a while it felt repititious and uninteresting. Truly the scenery in Elder Scrolls games is much more beautiful and interesting, and those worlds more immersive and fun to explore. And i absolutely hate having dialogue choices on a timer. I also hate that i cant take initiative to unexpectedly kill some of the characters unless its scripted. Truly, this game is so inferior to Skyrim it reminds me how vastly underrated that game truly is. 0:02
I know this is the April Fool's video, but I 100% agree with what you said about all the crafting diagrams. I collect everything as I go and the non-witcher items only serve to clog up the crafting menus. I have never crafted a single one of those things and wish you could hide them.
EXACTLY
This is the first game that made me Cry, when I finished the game I cryed and was fulfilled by grief like I have lost someone I love, the game is beautiful, the story, the sistems, the soundtrack, the chatacters, if you keep searching for little fails of course you gonna find it, this game was release NINE years ago and still best than a lot of games from today.
If you dont like, dont play, but dont you dare to say the witcher 3 is bad, because its not, I literally became a better person because I played this game
Check the date of the video buddy.
i noticed i was being fooled when you said theres too much gwent.... THERES NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH GWENT... THE MORE GWENT THE BETTER!
Gwent sucks
This may be an April Fools video, but I've watched it and agree completely unironically.
2:06 About those jumps. Remember Geralt from opening cinematic for Witcher 1? THAT Geralt could have jumped around like that no problem, Assasin's Creed style.
lol I was hoping you’d put up another April fools video. You never disappoint!
The witcher is the most hated character in history, and rightly so. There is nothing he does right. He's a simple minded killing machine. Thank you for this long overdue truth. Love.
Imagine Witcher 3 with Red Dead Redemption 2 physics, would be the best game ever.
It would be better but both are literally listed as the two greatest game of all time for many people
I love both games, that's I'm doing full playthrough videos on them again
yeah true i cant enjoy cdpr games because the physics so bad like wtf is this. i never seen how bad the physics like that
Hopefully next witcher game since it's being made in ue5
@@Kyepo Gonna be a woke stutter fest, can't wait lol
Still waiting for "Roach is the worst companion in gaming history" Every year you lie to me its coming the next April :D
Start loading shotgun... Read the comments... Slowly put it away
The only thing that bothers me is that during combat mode, you're not allowed to open doors & do other actions outside the combat mode which is kinda frustrating considering there're several quests regarding you to pursue the target
Fully expected Geralt to kiss Uma at the "something just makes you keep coming back" part.
Happy April Fools!
Less than 20 seconds in I opened the description figuring it was an April fools prank. No fooling an internet 4chan og like me
Just poured all his grievances and masked it as April Fools' Joke. Good job, xLetalis, good job 😄
9 years i have this most overrated game in my PC, don't know why i still waste my time still playing it.
THANK GOD!! I was thinking.. "Whats goin' on ???!!!!". Somehow it hurt my feelings... All this years, and the videos we spent... And still I am watching XLetalis-Videos... This game is just a timeless masterpiece with it's simplicity in some matters, but it's overall-doing for a big audience is just brilliant. Thanks XLetalis for still reporting... 👍👍👍
You should really play bg3, you'd like it, it'd give you something new to play and enjoy.
or try the old legacy of kain: soul reaver 1/2/defiance games.
They're pretty deep stuff, or try the elder scrolls oblivion, it's deeper than people think if you give it a chance. (get oblivion character overhaul for better faces, better cities for better cities, and a level scaling mod to fix enemies scaling with ur level and thats all u need)
Infact elder scrolls, and especially oblivion has some of the deepest lore and lore rabbit holes of all time and it's really excellent written stuff, and it was a pioneer for modern AI in games.
As I know there is not much W3 content u can do anymore.
Or you could always play W3 again lol.
But you could expand your horizons, there is a lot of crap out there, infact most of it is crap, but there are a few gems that aren't just the witcher 3, you should really give one or all of those a try.
Yeah I might get back into BG3 soon
Hmm.. April's fool.. Gotta be
Love that I read that in Geralts voice
The fact that everything said in this video is so accurate that it barely works as an April fools, The witcher 3 is truly one of a kind. You just keep on playing, it's always more enjoyable every time despite all the minor problems, crazy !
I know your trickery, I won't be fooled so easily. Not again!
Thank god bro I almost got a heart attack you got me well because in the beginning I was like no way this dude is serious
Didn’t even flinch for one second Letalis, we all know what comes after Easter this year:P
In a future April Fools video you should do "I'm Glad Vesemir Died in Witcher 3."
The witcher 3 literally destroy my chance of being able to pay my mortgage on time
Jokes aside most of this is actually good criticism and not just bullshit for April Fools. But the good things about the game far outweigh Roach's movement (which still sucks by the way).
r/gamingcirclejerk momento
I agree, this game was so poorly made, a common CDPR product, just like Ubisoft!!! Poor quality, numerous bugs and glitches and, most likely, rushed through production without the first f**k given!!! I only bought the game for around $20 dollars. It's the complete edition and pre-owned. For $20 it was worth the price considering everything that came included. After CP2077, I'll not buy anymore games from this company!
......I keep forgetting what day it is......😄
yes people are funny on youtube today and everytime I am surprised...
After 8 playthroughs and hundreds of hours of this game I can safely say it’s one of the worst of all time, would not recommend at all
Me reading the comments of all the people who didn't notice this is a April Fool's video that got caught in the algorithm 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you got me last year XLetalis. YOU SHALL NOT FOOL ME THIS YEAR!!!
l am proud to say l have put in over 500 hours of cutscenes
I completely agree! I have to finish it at least 8 times to make sure that it really is a bad game as I couldn't believe it!
Ah yes, every one of these videos reminds me of the existance of her and the wild hunt, which is something I’m always thankful for.
It has this vibe man.
I don't play it regularly anymore, but once in a while i get this urge, and go to a village in Velen while is raining and 'THE WINDS ARE HAULING', and just slow riding the horse till i stumble into something new, it's so relaxing for me .
I hated this game the first time I played it, loathed it the second time, and positively despised it the third.
TW3 literally ruined me when it comes to gaming. After playing TW3, I have no appetite for other games.
April fools😊
LMAO, all points are absolutely correct.
You forgot the terrible question mark based exploration.
This game is absolutely terrible. I share all the same sentiments. Gameplay, mechanics, combat system, crafting. I've tried to play this multiple times over that past 5 years and I can't get even 10 hours into to it. So boring.
Thank you xLetalis!
You made another video of Witcher 'hard truths' for us. Fantastic!
I laughed so hard at "Even Andrzej Sapkowski would survive that fall!" Holy crap, that was funny.
I also remember laughing until I cried when you told us how Triss was 'the worst' last (?) April:
*Geralt* - Lambert, Lambert. What a prick.
*xLetalis* - What's just what Triss said!!!
You're a genius at the dead-pan delivery. And you're right... I can feel the call of that game... whispering in my mind "come spend another 120 hours of your life with me" 🤣
I hate this game so much that i've played it daily since launch as a reminder.
yeah same ;[
finally exposing that game properly i see, ive actually taken it upon myself to finish it 5 times, 3 of those on deathmarch and most all playthroughs were completionist ones, about 800 hours. just so i can properly distil my disdain for this game down to the last nuance. and i will keep on putting in time every other month just so i can hate it even more.
Shame this was an April Fools joke, because it is overrated and not a good RPG at all and its combat is indeed trash.
Spoken like a true Velen peasant, no appreciation for the higher fine arts!
*I hate that the scale for leveling isn't progressive, also the leveling is bad and it counteracts a lot of the fun I would have had if it was skill based instead of strictly numbers. It gives the player free rein with exploration and quests, so most of the progression goes to waste because you have to level up and the game is completely ruined. The basic combat is fine as a mechanic, but the enemies hit you before you've even landed an attack, and the only thing worth this mess called Witcher is the main story, the free roaming, side quests and exploration are completely wasted thanks to the abhorrent level design.*
Listen man everyone knows it's April fools
People are shitposting in the comments but I genuinely do think that TW3 is indeed one of the most overrated games. The story is good to great, the world is nice, gwent is nice until you get OP cards and duels are no longer challenging. The progression systems such as loot, crafting, gear, talent points, etc are largely pointless and climax about 20-30 hours in because you can literally go through the game's combat encounters with a blindfold on Death March. Same exact issues reveal itself in CP77 and get even worse about 20-30 hours in, it's like they want to play action games but need to do their loots, craftings, talent trees, skills that are ultimately meaningless.
This is not a game for people who like to swing the joystick mindlessly and play games for swinging the joystick .
@@homointernetus9733 eh?
Jokes aside, plenty of valid points actually. Concerning game mechanics especially. Still my favorite game ever though.
I honestly truly never liked this game. I've recently started to enjoy it though but only with the hud totally off and at max difficulty. The design of how most things work is why I hate this game plus the hype. It's a good rpg especially for many years now since no one make rhis level of rpg anymore that isnt a lame ass open world checklist.
Tbf some of the points of this video are right, like how clunky the movements and combat are, and horse riding.
I know the point of this video was to be sarcastic but I believe the channel's owner aware of TW3's flaws
I forgot about this tradition and almost had a heart attack!
I didnt realize this was an april fools joke lol. I really dont see what draws people to this game. It took me 100h to beat the base game and the entire time i was waiting for it to get good which never happened
i picked it up felt tired after Killing the griffen and then realized it's not me there's just a lot of polish to the game missing 💀
7:10 beautiful shots of the sunset here. I’ve never seen it like that ❤
You nearly got me with this one until i saw the date
I'll be honest although he is joking the points are to the most part valid. The gameplay, movement, and crafting especially were kinda accurate. This is coming from someone with 250 hours on Witcher 3 btw
Oh yes, and now today when I played I have the same exp of the video 0:11, but with the monster and with the horse, in other parts sometimes also happen uu
I'm curious tho, are you interested in the idea of making a video discussing the negative points of the game ?
Just to give some personnal exemples : extremely poor ending of the main game where everyone dissapears and you pop at kaer morhen depressed, dissapointing lack of lore at the end of eredin, avalach just dissapear, lodge dissapear, no new dialogues with anyone, no news of priscilla health after her quest other than a very small mention at toussait prison, radovid death pretty much has 0 impact ingame, some "bad" quests that doesnt make sense, no new quests after the maingame end, cut off content for exemple the witcher ciri quest, cant kill the third crone with any of the good endings, toussaint graphics (just started Blood and Wine for the second time and it took me 3 hours to find mods to fix the terrible blur and feeling of low res textures).
For my second playthrough of the game, i kept having a feeling of emptiness witnessing the wide number of """bad""" things this game has, i was particularly striked by the low amount of voicelines of some main character, you can almost count on your fingers the scenes with yennefer for example.
Also the many bugs, glitching guards, had a decent amount of crashes despite having a good computer and mod free game, i got at multiple times the time freeze bug where i found online discussion about it from 8 years ago, some terribly bugged quests like gang of novigrad that still havent been fixed ...
Overall this game is obviously awesome but as a completionist and someone who easely get pretty involved in things i like, it is also a bit of a torture playing it because it has many flaws.
So, how about a video where you give an honest opinion on things you dislike/are sad about/would have changed ? :)
(Sorry for all the mistakes i'm french )
Sorry, I know it's very unlikely you will read this, but I have some things I would like to add:
Replaying The Witcher 3 ended up being almost depressing because it's my second playthrough. I first played it back when it came out, and I was around 16 years old. Now, at almost 25, playing the game through a more mature mindset clearly didn't help because all the little flaws appear much clearer.
Throughout the entirety of the game, I kept asking myself, "I wish they would have made more content out of this and that." The lack of news from the Baron after he left with his wife, for example, is an understandable choice from CDPR, but the complete absence of news is sad because with a quest this good and complex, it would have been a very powerful emotional moment. For example, if we could have found the Baron and his wife in Toussaint. Same for the story sharing between the witchers around the table at Kaer Morhen, do Geralt really just have the White Orchard griffin contract to talk about ?
I have yet to complete Toussaint, but I remember well that the dialogues with Regis are extremely well done and complete, with a nice slow pace. I even remember thinking that CDPR took more pleasure in writing dialogues between him and Geralt than with Triss/Yennefer/Dandelion/Ciri... which left me quite empty seeing how superior the content with Regis is.
I had a lot of hopes when I heard about the 4.0 update, hoping it would bring fixes for all the emptiness and poor quantity of dialogues, absence of closures (talking to Roche after the main game? No new dialogues, same for Zoltan and the (few) rest of characters). I really thought CDPR would, as a last spread of love for a game we all cherished, resolve all these.
But now I/we are hit with the fact that the game is 8 years old, that many of the voice actors have changed, or are simply unreachable because it wouldn't be worth it to get them into recording studios to do some more voicelines to please some depressed dudes who already paid for the game years ago. And CDPR seems to be busy making other things (Witcher 1 remake, I believe).
To conclude, congrats if you made it to the end of my horrible monologue. I love The Witcher 3, I just hoped, with the success and the passion brought by so many people, almost a decade after the release, that CDPR would fix some things because, as an outsider of the gaming industry, it """just feels quite easy to do""" (the quotes are important).
Oh it was an April fools joke lol
also ive never had issues like that with roach, like i watched you fail so much and i couldnt help but feel this has to be a skill issue, like ive never struggled that much on roach XD
Witcher 3 gameplay is awful and the fanboys can't accept that. Awful perk system, spammy braindead combat, awful alchemy, awful gear progression, awful loot system, easy even on death march, etc...
The game was made for casual gamers, it is a couch game.
Go raise your standards for gameplay. Most of us don't care about stuff like games should be like movies or cutscenes or voice acting. Gameplay is the most important thing and the Witcher 3 gameplay is garbage.
Witcher 3 gameplay sometimes feels like watching a Benny Hill parody.
Very very true
What about Elden Ring?
