Huge Witcher 3 Update on Dec 14

Check out Hollywood Scholars Videos, he can explain it in great detail and length.

Got the update for PS5 with all the new bells and whistles and started the game all over…again.

I can say this is a vast improvement over the experience I had on PS4. I have been able to keep playing, finally. The combat is much better now, which was a frustration of mine and had me quit the game long ago, and the ability to change the way the camera sets on the screen is great. Another nice thing is the load times, WOW it’s better now. And, with the PS5 upgrades this game has some truly beautiful scenery now. I am playing in Ray Tracing mode 30fps so the graphics are better. It’s very nice.

I am about 30 hrs in now. Doing the Family Matters questline (at the end section where you go find the wife in the bog to recue her). Yes, FINALLY I am enjoying this game. I am taking my time and exploring and doing mostly side stuff. Yes, there are a few frustrations, but this is one of the only games where I seem to actually care about the story and characters. And, honestly, that doesn’t happen much in recent years. Even Horizon Forbidden West had lackluster, if not boring, story and quests. So, now I am able to see what all the “hype” has been about. I can understand a lot of it, it’s a very good game (now that it is fixed imo).

While it is nice that quests have multiple outcomes, I think sometimes it has too many. I research any important quest online before I do it. Such as the Witches of the Swamp storyline. Glad I researched it before just doing it without knowing things.

All the hype over Ciri, Yennifer, and Triss. (which of course is understandable) But, I find the witch Keira Metz to be a new favorite of mine. I felt an immediate attraction to her and her personality. I did her entire storyline (so far) and made sure to keep her alive (again, researching the quest online before doing it) It’s a pity she isn’t more important later in the game.

Well, back to the game……
