I played Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 back in the day during release years but didn't purchase Witcher 3 until June of 2016. I put about 22 hours into but I was having some severe open-world faitgue so I stepped away. On the 1st of January 2019 I decided to pick it back up (same save) and with an additional 68 hours played through until 14 January, I completed the main story.

I've yet to touch anything from the two expansion packs but that starts tomorrow. The Witcher 3 cements this trilogy as one of my absolute favorite trilogies. Every single game is breathtaking in its own way. Highly recommended.

I was looking at the top 250 list today trying to determine if anything had a chance at actually overtaking this game ever. I remember thinking when Breath of the Wild came out that it would surely overtake Witcher 3 within the year. Now, I'm not too sure. For context, here is the formula used to calculate the list:

v = number of reviews
R = average rating
min = minimum number of reviews to be considered for the list
total_avg_rating = avg rating of every game on the site
score = (v / (v+min)) * R + (min / (v+min)) * total_avg_rating

There are only 4 games that have more than 200 ratings that have a higher average rating than the Witcher 3. They are The Old Hunters (Bloodborne DLC), Metal Gear Solid 3, the 2018 God of War, and Breath of the Wild. The only game of those 4 that has a chance anytime soon of taking down the Witcher is Breath of the Wild, but I don't think it's going to happen. I haven't run the numbers, but Witcher has a 4.67 avg and Breath of the Wild has a 4.70. However, Witcher has around 3150 reviews to only 1780 for Breath of the Wild. I think Breath of the Wild would need at least another 500 - 700 reviews, and also need to maintain that .03 point lead in order to overtake the Witcher. I really don't see that happening.

Fun Saturday thoughts!

This may very well be one of the last 100+ hour RPGs I'll ever play. Work, school, and life in general, have left me with less time for huge gaming sessions. If this is to be my swansong to games in this genre then I'm forever satisfied... The Witcher 3 may very well be my favorite game of all time.

Finally finished the game. Can't believe I never got sucked into sooner. What an incredible journey. I imagine I'll replay it again and again in the future and I can't wait to see what else CD Projekt Red does with the series moving forward if they decide to pursue it.

I've been working on my stupid review for this game forever so I just want to say that this game is, y'know, it's fine. It's fine. The Witcher 3? It's fine.

Amazing game. Lots to do, great story and beautiful world.

The only thing that wasn't perfect for me was the Skill system, but with a mod for more slots (Slots, Slots, Slots!!!) it got pretty tolerable. Can't wait for the Cyberpunk game, I doubt CPR can screw it up after such a great series.

It finally managed to suck me in. Unfortunately, I'm an adult and I have a lot of study and prep to do these days! Looking forward to when I have a bit more free time.

I learned to not go for a quest suggesting your character be level 7 when Geralt, at my stage of playing, is level 3. That werewolf is a bitch.

All in all, loving this game! The reason I bought a PS4.

Both bummed and relieved that it is finally over. Enjoyed it thoroughly, and am satisfied by the endings I got, but GOD DAMN AM I EXCITED TO PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME! Will play Blood and Wine eventually, but for now I will be playing anything else.

Drinking a nice beer and playing some Witcher 3 at night has got to be right up there with some of the best things in life!

When I'm not playing in my PS4, I'm playing in my laptop. The Witcher 3 has been very quite amazing even though I have no idea what the series is all about. Thankfully they are showing some flashbacks, and some "story so far" which helped me somewhat grasp the situation.

I'm just wondering. There are so many "main quests" and there are a lot of dialogue choices. Does my tracking of quests (whichever I pick first) affect the plot or outcome? And if my dialogue choices even matter at all? Because there are times when a timer appears and I have to decide quickly. Hmm.
