hopefully most will play on xbox/ps4/PC, it deserves to be seen/played in its full glory imo
Does it really matter? It looks perfectly fine on Switch, all things considered.

53 on Metacritic and 58 on Rotten Tomatoes. You're right, great show.
Admittedly, I only watched the first episode, but that was enough to see it's not for me. Glad you and many others like it, though. Because it means more sales for CDPR at the very least.
Reached episode five and can confirm that things don't really improve. Cavill really shocked me though - I couldn't picture him at all, but in practise he nails it. Shame everything else is so... unremarkable.
I hope this pushes CDP to remaster The Witcher 1 in 3s engine
I want to play it, but its far too janky and old for me to power through.
Hopefully after Cyberpunk they will consider it
Maybe a 6/10, I really wasn't at all impressed with the conversion from the books - far too much tell and not enough show (typical enough with book-to-screen adaptations). The art direction is pretty lacklustre too - especially the costuming - and honestly, I found the amounts of female nudity a bit gratuitous.When looking at the whole you really think this is 5 / 10 show?

Amen so many things in Witcher 3 are better the more game's you play or books you read from the universeYou uncultured swine should at least start with 2 upon a replay.
blood and whine provides the best closure i have ever experienced for a long running videogame series. its a small moment, but that alone is worth a playthrough.Finished the game back in 2015 but never touched the DLC. Loving the show though and it's really making me want to go back, explore the world again and finally check out the DLC.
I, too, recently restarted but I didn't know the show was coming out soon. I have Netflix but I'll likely never watch it. I just don't really have the patience for a series with long, continuous plots. Maaaaaybe one a year. The last series I watched was "You" with my girlfriend.
Anyways. I'm having a blast on PC. Since getting a 2070 Super I can totally max everything out at 1440p and get a constant 60+ and it's still a lovely game. Majestic scenery, for sure. I really like the world-building and lore as well.
This is one of those games that I feel mods are a necessity for; removing weight for most items, removing item degradation, auto-applying oils, auto-loot enemies, removing the animation from gathering resources, all vendors have 5000 gold, etc... Lots of little quality-of-life tweaks that make it more enjoyable. I like the concept of a portable version, for sure, but without mods it would just get irritating.
That sounds pretty appealing. I like a good monster of the week.I'm 4 episodes in only, but that hasn't been this show so far. For the most part each episode (at least the Geralt portions) are short, separate monster hunting escapades.

There is a 0/10 review which can't be taken seriously. The show is atleast a 7.When looking at the whole you really think this is 5 / 10 show?

after 7 episodes: yeah, that seems like a fair rating. it has issues but when it worls, it really works.There is a 0/10 review which can't be taken seriously. The show is atleast a 7.
Don't know why Netflix only gave reviewers 5 EPs, because of the "special" structure it has, many things come together in the last couple EPs.Reached episode five and can confirm that things don't really improve. Cavill really shocked me though - I couldn't picture him at all, but in practise he nails it. Shame everything else is so... unremarkable.
Witcher 3 is my game of the generation, yet I havent found the time for the DLC but I know I have to, watching the series is making me think once Christmas is out the way thats what il be playing next, the question is do I reply the main story aswell.

I was taken aback by all the negative reviews but after the second episode I couldn't stop watching. I never read the books, only played Wild Hunt, but I really really like the series.
Yeah, I think it'll be fine. So many people I know who are not familiar with the Witcher are giving it a go and so far, they all like it. Seems to be what most people are reporting online as well. It's another case where critics and general audiences don't align.I think series will live through word of mouth from viewers, word seems to be spreading too pretty well across Internet that show is worth to check out no matter what reviews say.

It will be though. The first season is pretty much the prelude to the actual show.I'm 4 episodes in only, but that hasn't been this show so far. For the most part each episode (at least the Geralt portions) are short, separate monster hunting escapades.
They are perfect for each other. For the good and the bad. They theserve each other hahahaThis is so real. I found that out after reading some of the books but I've wanted to go back to the Witcher 3 again to pick Yen. I still prefer Triss but you're crazy if you think Geralt and Yen aren't perfect together.
Really? I felt just the opposite actually. I don't recall the last time I saw such a bland and featureless performance. He actually opted to do a stereotypical, gruffy-voiced, video game protagonist voice which is hilarious. It's almost like he was trying to copy the video game portrayal which is pretty sad for an artist of his stature.
I thought the show overall was entertaining but ultimately forgettable and certainly not GoT season 1-5 level.
The show has made me want to play the first two games since I've never played them. Anyone know of good visual and QoL mods for the first game?

If I'm correct, the next seasons will follow books 3-7, which are all about political intrigue instead of monster hunting and a have big sprawling story, not the little separated stories from the first season, which is mostly based on the first two books/short story bundles.
...I do. They just really unnecessarily changed so many things from the books and for the worse, sometimes outright destroying the whole point of a given story. Plus the cheap look of many scenes (e.g. Brokilon), mediocre CGI, some spotty acting...it is mediocre show at best, and that is a crime given the potential there was to make a masterpiece.When looking at the whole you really think this is 5 / 10 show?
