Talk about a game completely ruined by its dogshit combat system. For TW4 they better hire someone who understands melee combat in a video game.
The Witcher 3 released 10 years ago today

By all means try, it's a great game, but it's not for everyone. As an RPG fan there's a lot of highly praised games, like Fallout, that have just never resonated with me. I've tried Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas and I never make it more than 10 hours in. Even Witcher 3, a top game for me, I had periods of play i was losing interest. Something would happen and I'd regain interest.

I generally like it but there are some sections that I find kind of boring. Then I turn it off and get wrapped up in something else.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The game was fine, but I didn't love it. I did finish it, as well as the first expansion. Like a lot of people said, the combat's pretty rough, and I also thought some of the bigger encounters were really poorly designed (the final sequence in the first DLC was abysmal). All told, I really don't remember much about the game, other than detective mode and trying to sneak into some castle at some point. But I'm one of those weirdos who thinks the first game was by far the best - it was an actual RPG and the combat is abstract enough that it actually works well. Far better than the hack-n-slash attempts of the second and third games.

I recently went back for a fresh new run for the platinum, but It required a death march play thru and man not only is that the way to play but the game literally looks and played like it was just released, looks better than some current games... Just a gem of a game all around.. The platinum was a total joy

I'm in the minority but I liked the combat. You got to turn the difficulty up to the highest so you are forced to play more witcher-like, use the oils, the potions and what not.

Thought I would love the game, ended up disliking it. I'm definitely in the minority because I have zero clue how any "professional" reviewer can score the game higher than a 5/10.
Gwent and the sound design were excellent. Everything else was surprisingly bad e.g., PS2-esque inventory management, dismounting Roach and Roach's ability to not get stuck behind a house, single cutscenes that had 5,000,000 lines of dialogue and 92 camera angles that no one asked for, fetchitis plaguing every side quest etc. I think the plot that they set up (
) is good enough to carry the game, but everything that you have to do to make progress is really sucky. For example, having to use Witcher senses was terrible. You're a badass mutant yet you constantly felt like you were Batman without his utility belt or basic sense of guidance.
I hope TW4 is awesome because since 2015 there's been 20 or so action and RPG games that CDPR can, respectfully, learn a lot from. For example, a game that I thought I would hate -- GoW 2018 -- ended up nailing everything TW3 failed at. The phenomenal combat, the animations that didn't interrupt player movement, cutscenes that actually end and let you play the game, NPC's not just being people in the way, etc. They can learn a lot from other western action RPGs.

As a book nerd since my shool days, this series was a godsend. Witcher 3 delivered a worthy end to a story, that Sapkowski kinda grew tired of and I'm forever thankful to CDPR for that.
Plus of course I have that legendary Collectors Edition with Geralt from Temu statue.

Still an amazing game (>>>>especially with the mods that revamp the combat system<<<<) and still looks pretty great thanks to the RT update.

Enjoyed both DLCs more than the base game. Still, one of the best RPGs I've played in the past 10 years.
Also, CDPR just dropped this new trailer for the 10th anni:

What is the best thing that ever happened after The Witcher 3 release ? I'm struggling and dead serious to know the answer.

First (and only) Witcher game I played. It was either on ps now or game pass a couple of years ago so thought why not give it a try. I can see why people love the series.
Must have spent dozens of hours playing Gwent too. Never did get around to finishing the main story. Got to that last island. Maybe it is time to revisit.
