The Witcher 3 Replay Thread *Open Spoilers*

[bongowongo]

With the next gen upgrade hitting PS5/Series x and PC on December 14, figure some of us (well me for one) are gonna be replaying one of the goat experiences and games from last gen.


I finished Witcher 3 in 2016 with the base game and DLC. Throughout the years I've tried replaying it a couple times, but each time I lose interest about an hour or so because that one experience was beyond epic for me so starting an entire new game was quite difficulty and there were just too many games to play, but SEVEN years later seems like the perfect time to replay the game with the graphical upgrades.

Jesus fuk I cant believe Witcher was 7 years ago.


Anyway I've started my playthrough because I couldnt wait anylonger

Going with a mixed build this time and definitely paying more attention to decoctions, which I hardly used in my first playthrough.

Definitely going:

Cat school because it was just fun being a spinning whirlwind of death
Gonna buff up the cat school chit even more with decoctions

Just reached Novigrad at level 13 to search for Triss. Definitely gonna have to pace my time since I dont want get too far ahead before the upgrade drops lol.

Definitely going to play through again. GOAT game and lore. I read the books, skipped the netflix series.

You couldn't just wait another month and a bit to start your run?

I've completed it 3 times already, if i do another it'll be to get the missing achievements i have left, which means ill have to go the signs build.

Looking forward to it though!

I was reading the books, it's pretty cool, but the short story format was kinda off-putting for me .. I should get back and finish it properly thoughh. I'm still reading the first book and I'm halfway in it. Netflix adaptation is decent, I'm enjoying it and I think it's entertaining enough + Cavill does a beastly job as Geralt imo.



One of the biggest things I appreciate with Witcher 3 and games like God of War, Mass Effect is how it drops you into a setting that is just oozing with atmosphere and begging to be explored further as you keep uncovering more of the lore and story behind it. It really is one of those games you can lose hours in because you do feel like you're exploring a brand new world that's unlike anything that's been told in media.

Imagine asking the fella with the worst impulse control to wait another month.


3 playthroughs holy chit.

[PumkinPie]

Thinking heavy into signs this time since it has that quick spell thing.

Gonna pick triss even though yennifer is true wifu. Also I didnt do the wine expansion last time so Ill have to do that.

tfw i fukked up my first playthrough and tried to fuk both of them and my geralt ended up FA in the end, even though I was simping hard for Yennefer .... feelsbadman.


Wont make the same mistake twice!

[MikeLowrrrey]

I got the bad ending. Felt absolutely brootal. I'm not buying the game again, my Geralt is dead.

Lmfao ... You monster. What ending did you get?




I had the "best" bittersweet ending ... My Ciri decided to be queen but was still chill with Geralt, in the end her becoming queen was the best thing for the realm. She still visited me in Toussaint though, so pretty good stuff.

Could never get into games like these

Play for 30 minutes and get bored

Understandable bro, the puzzles require 60+ IQ.

[Elvis.Costello]

Beat on Xbox originally because that’s all I had in 2015. Beat again on PS4 pro when I finally got one of those and beat again with some mods on PC when I finally built one lol. They’re integrating some mods I used for this official release.

I even own on Switch but only played like 30 min for the novelty.

Got the best ending my first playthrough and didn’t have the balls to switch it up on my 2nd and 3rd playthrough. Ciri always a Witcher in my mind.

Best western style RPG ever released IMO. Will def check this out, though I don’t know about a 4th playthrough. I could be tempted though.

Game + both DLCs regularly like 10 bucks if you’ve never played.

Imagine playing a video game to solve puzzles

Must be so fun

I would have been happy with 1440p and 60fps.

Love the game but I cringe thinking of that clunky 30fps with a bunch of input lag. I expect and hope this feels much more responsive. Console users are the real winners of this patch.

Think I'm gonna fire it up before the patch just to remember how it once looked and then I'll update and mire the overhaul. Part of me wants to try a sign build with the new quick cast, chit might be sick but I'm feline school master race.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

Hnggggggggggg can't fooking wait!

[Wazooty]

Going for my third playthrough once the patch comes out. Perfect game to enjoy winter and sip a beer to.

I did third difficulty my second playthrough and it was too easy, everything I learned from the first playthrough made it so. I want the next go around to be more challenging but the fourth difficulty is such a jump compared to 2->3 I can't help but feel it will turn the game into a chore.

[sooby]

Witcher 3 was a great game. I'm not sure I would play it again though as there are so many other games I want to play as well. When I play a game I kinda get a bit OCD on the achievements, doing all the side quests and stories and before you know it I've been stuck on a game for 2+ months.

This thread







Letting the stoned skater at your local park try to kick flip over you without landing on your bawls would be a better time than a single second of playing Horse Riding Simulator 3: Horse's Revenge.

[Snootz]

Completed on PC.. and want to play it on PS5 (my PC was ****) in 12 days

Can you actually transfer PC save to PS5 somehow? cause i want to play new game +

I heard something about cross platform saves.. but nothing really concrete

[chrsschb]

I just finished my second (modded) playthrough about 6 months ago. Cheers bros, enjoy the ride!

[eod8989]

Gonna be my first time playing through this for real. Stopped at bloody baron like a year ago. Hopefully they fix a lot of things. One thing that pissed me off was the clunky inventory system and clunky combat.

I got bored of it around that mission. I wanna play more but Skyrim is just way more fun

You are literally a skyrim NPC so I'm not surprised.

[havoc00]

Just killed the Griffin playing to get my feet wet before I fully jump in when the patch launches

That’s where it starts getting good. I’ll def be replaying once the patch comes. Wish all single player games took a page from their book on DLC. Those two expansions were the best ones I’ve ever experienced.

Holy chit imagine seeing Toussaint in the remaster

[TokenV]

in after LtGoose lmfao

Also I didnt do the wine expansion last time so Ill have to do that.

you're in for a treat brah, B&W is by far the most hnggggggggggggg storyline/region imo

Holy chit imagine seeing Toussaint in the remaster

imagining it now

[stayhomeneet]

I'm currently replaying the witcher 2 for the first time in about 10 years, in preparation.

Love the story as always but man this game is badly designed and becomes a slog as a result. No quick travel is aids and I've been running back and forth through vergen for hours doing quests.

Oh well witcher 3 will seem amazing again after this lol.

[R3L3NTL3SS]

It's actually kind of insane how amazing this game looks still and it's 7 years old now. I took these with no mods at all. Purely the game engine on it's own (at all max settings).





Gonna be a fuking 10/10 experience playing this masterpiece with even better graphics. Fk man, 10 more days.

[Voidgaze]

Holy chit imagine seeing Toussaint in the remaster

I played like an hour of it on the previous gen version and was blown away by the colorful visuals.

So I decided to wait until the next gen version to finish the last DLC. I can't fuarking wait.

It didn't look that good, it was 2 years after GTA 5 which looked way better imho
