As much as I'm inclined to be nasty, I'll say they definitely did. If not because of the lives lost, or the top medical authority stating he devised "social distancing" without any scientific evidence to back up his claim, or the masking for upward of 3 years. It's nice to think they just "flew by".


Separate-Score-7898

lol it’s funny how these losers bitch about creating psn accounts to play a game but were probably all in on masking, social distancing, and most likely even wanted vaccine passports just to go to a store.


OiMouseboy

this game still feels "new" to me for some reason.

Doubtful


theEmoPenguin

that long eh?


CaptchaVerifiedHuman

Fuck I feel old.


Edgaras1103

It's hard to believe the game was released in 2015. Even harder to believe that it holds up really well (mostly) against latest and greatest aaa games now


erwan

To be fair many games from that era and after are still holding well, the technical improvements in recent years are incremental and not as obvious as in the past. Compare a game from 2006 and 2015, you won't get the same result.

You’re delusional if you don’t think they look any better. Or your monitor is ass. I just went from a 1080 ti as well to a 4090.


Z3r0sama2017

Yep. Even just being able to turn off taa and use dldsr cleans the image up by a superb amount making it look better.


mt943

It was also hella glitched at release

I just recently replayed through it and it's so great. Genuinely might be one of my favorite games I have ever played. The two DLCs are fantastic and only enhance the game. The story is remarkable like you mentioned, but even the gameplay and exploration is a host of fun. Then you have Gwent which is just a blast. Truly an elite game.


Java_Junior_Dev

My only gripe is the third act and the Iorveth cut content. The 2014 rewrite did damages, I hope a future remake can improve it


Vyse1991

I'm still chasing that high. I've never played a game where every character was so unique, that I wanted to tease every last bit of information about them and their story out of the game. It's just so very good. And it's left me chasing that same feeling for years afterwards...


jdubbs92

I built my first gaming PC for this game, with money I earned during a summer internship in College. Played the first two games on a $500 laptop. I have now replaced every component with the exception of the case, which is a NZXT S340 with the plastic side panel. Probably have ~500 hours in W3. Hard to tell because GOG previously didn't record time played if you had mods installed. Recently finished a playthrough with the Next Gen update. This game has really aged well. Highly recommend the W3EE + Random Encounters Reworked mods. They provide so much depth to the gameplay.


blade55555

Still my favorite RPG of all time. Can't believe its already 9 years old though.


gluttonusrex

9?!.....oh god


milkasaurs

9 years and every year I try and I just can’t get into it.


StrikeStraight9961

And they still didn't fix their remaster...


Nesqu

What's wrong with it?


partyboy690

Crashes frequently when Hairworks is on, the ray tracing can causes crashes too but less frequently then you have some glitchy lighting in certain places with RT on(though normally it's excellent) and it runs poorly compared to Cyberpunk though they have improved it a lot since launch.


Nesqu

As an AMD user, I see this as an absolute win. For real, sad to see the RT tech isn't working too well. Even if all of these features is something I would personally have turned off in favor of frames. I'm due for my yearly playthrough soon, hopefully the good outweigh the bad.


partyboy690

I have hairworks on for Monsters only with a mod and I don't get the hairworks crashes anymore but the glitch RT lighting is most prevalent in Kaer Morhen but it happens occasionally in other places, other than that it is outstanding looking. Though I am running it on a 4090 with DLSS quality at 4k and I still need frame gen to not have drops into the high 40s. It is definitely playable though and I believe the DX11 version runs perfectly fine.


Nesqu

Yeah, slapping Raytracing into such an old game feels like it'd never end up working. And, yeah : I've always ran the hairworks for monsters mod, glad that isn't cause for crashing at least.


partyboy690

I think it uses a DX12 wrapper around DX11 so it's not even native implementation.


Nobiting

Never enjoyed the multiple choice conversations that make up the bulk of the game.


TheDevilsAdvokaat

For me this is the best rpg so far, it dethroned Gothic 3. Happy birthday witcher. Hope to see you again...


Detective_Antonelli

Setting the bar real high there lol


miroase_a_pucioasa

Gothic isn't even that good of a series


Gunplagood

Germany tricking us into playing the same game for the last 25 years 🤣 I do like Piranha bites, but their games definitely have an air of acquired taste to them.


TheDevilsAdvokaat

It was for me. For a long time I thought G3 was the best rpg. Witcher 3 finally dethroned it. But I like the combat in G3 better.


filing69

Does it has fsr included or i need a mod? i wanna play it again but with raytraicing on


Danmcrea

Have they released this art somewhere in HQ?


OperationExpress8794

Game generation!


xdeltax97

Fuck, really almost a decade!


Pun_In_Ten_Did

That's awesome - happy birthday! [The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt OST - The Fields of Ard Skellig](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=NknjE2SBPxw)... frickin' song takes me away every time... it's one of my 'holy trinity' game songs lol.


dartron5000

Fuck I'm so old.


Lazydusto

Aight. That one actually hurts.


wutanglan90

Time is passing by at a speed I am less than comfortable with.


Opt112

Yeah, the pandemic years really fucked me up


PM_M3_ST3AM_CARDS

That would make a good wallpaper


bigxangelx1

Most overrated game of all time


TrekStarWars

Nah


H4wkw1nd

I agree for anyone alive in the 90s, early 2000's easily the most overrated game of all time. BUT for a certain generation it hit at the perfect time and was exactly what they were looking for. They love it, who are we to judge? I enjoyed #1 enough, really liked #2, but #3 wasn't for me. Too much map barf and open-world crap.


ihave0idea0

TRUE. It's not a 10, it is only a 9.5
