well I ran into a video by Gamepressures and that really waken my feeling about the series
i wanted to see if some here feel the same way
the video:
thats my opinion,
i wrote it down on the comment section as well
it will be a little messy and maybe i will had some grammer mistakes, so forgive me in advance.
its not professional review just some thoughs that i hope CDRP will consider in the next game
i played the witcher 3 game in the same week its released but i have a big issues withe structure of the world, everything feel... small, i dont know if its because the camera pov or i its just me but something really off for me.
the graveyards felt like little space or caves feel really clastropobic, in addition and wierd in the wrong way, in addition i dont think the music and the tone of the world, catch everything that the world supouse to deliver... in my opinion The Witcher 1 did it way WAY better.
the music was on point, melancholic and megical at once, most of my favourite ost is from this game, the world of the witcher felt cruel, every graveyard felt like an bad omen people felt like they scheming something, the poor felt like poor on the street, hookers that try to get atention, the racisem felt in every corner, and its not because that someone try to make your rememeber that every now and then, its because the atmosphere was on point i didnt need the unhuman and human war to felt that.
I remember the unsafe Outskrits of Vizima they felt like you never safe, while in the witcher 3 most of the small villages look the same and most of them felt too welcoming. In Vizima the atmosphere was that good that you felt the scheming, the racisem, the poor and the abusives, the megical omen and curses in the air, the structure of the world was great for me everything felt big and unique, the mysterious enviroment felt like a sad fariy tale, i mean look at chapter 4 in the Witcher 1 it was masterpiece, i cant get over the feeling on the shore, and the big Dagon sculpture, the rye field and the unfortune bride, you could feel the story in the music and the enviroment alone.
The Swamp in Chapter 2 felt like ominess place that you fear to explore (in a good way) while a the witcher 3 i dont really cared... its isnt felt scary at all...
Chapter 3 was great as well its was peacefull after two threatening chapters, you felt you can rest easy a little and enjoy the more lifestyle side of Vizima but in the nights you could felt uneasy and still ominess feeling.
Chapter 5 was a little messy but you could get trough it after such advanture,
sadly the atmosphere in the witcher 3 isnt enogh deppresing like it should be, the game holding your hand instead of figuring out things yourself with the information that you got like in Tw1, the exploration felt without the HUD that you can walk in circles, and u missing alot, so you have to put the HUD on, well i know that in scale it isnt fair bacuse The witcher 1 is samller big time than The witcher 3 but still it deliver its somehow better.
yea i know some of my problems its because The witcher 1 was divided by chapters while The witcher 3 was open world and to be honest if they could deliver the same megical expirince well in my subjective idea, i will prefer the game to be divided to acts or chapters like The Witcher 1 and 2 (altough in my opinion the witcher 2 lack the same things, and i played the witcher 1 after i finished the second game so its isnt the nostlagia that talking)
still The Witcher 3 was fantastic and in other aspect it was way better than its predecessors but those were my big problems with the game that i really really sorry about them and felt unstesfied
hope its still relevant after all those years
maybe for the game that will come in the next years
