For those asking “Wait, where’s your blogs of Wurm?”, I will be answering that question in a separate blog post. Please stop asking me. Thanks. 🙂
So I’ve been being asked in several emails by you guys; “Hey, Benie! What do you think so far of The Witcher 3? Did you get the expansions?” Not to mention I have heard the devs actually didn’t have any programming experience, that they were just gamers.
To ask for my opinion, well, don’t get me wrong, the game is good. Graphics are excellent. Voice acting is great. Models are great.
The only thing I have against the game (that I haven’t played it for months), is the gear/trait system. There’s just so many, and the UI looks messy and not understandable. I feel if I pick a wrong trait, I’ll mess myself over.
I get the whole character build experimentation, but it’s just not for me. And really, that’s all I can say of this matter. Witcher 3 isn’t my kind of game.
However, I will say in praise of CD Projekt Red, I feel the companies’ way of working with gamers, should be considered a wakeup call to AAA games. I still remember when I got a copy of it from Gamefly(for my PS4), I was expecting a CD and a few pieces of paper. Instead, I got a map of the game world, stickers, the soundtrack to the game, and.. a whole lot of stuff that I didn’t even ask for(for FREE)! It felt like I had bought their Deluxe version when I got the Standard, and I am forever grateful of that (as they probably were of me buying a copy of their game).
In closing, I really do hope this is a wakeup call to the video game industry. No microtransactions, no ‘Day 1 DLC’ crap. No ‘season pass’ crap. Buy the full game, and play the full game! That’s the way it was in the past, and that’s the way it needs to be in the future.
