The Witcher 3 E3 Reveal, Will it live upto the expectations?


The much awaited RPG of the year, will it turn out to be the best RPG game ever?, as someone who has been a big fan of the series so far, i was disappointed when they revealed the game last E3, not because of anything other than the mixed reviews, fans were not really appreciating the game. When CD Projekt Red decided to delay the release,i was one of those people, who was happy with the decision, The Witcher game series easily has every potential to be the best game series of decade, having witnessed 
how major game series fail to deliver a good ending(Yes, that's you Mass Effect), i want this game not to screw up like others.



So, did i get what i wanted this E3?YES!, the game looks much better, honestly it looks amazing, The open world environment in Witcher 3 is no where close to the previous games of the series, instead it is miles ahead of anything the developers have done before, Dev's claim that "the world of The Witcher 3 is 35 times bigger than The Witcher 2". CD Projekt has also added the fast travel system to the game so players don't have to travel all the way around if they don't wish to.


"We spent the early portion of the demo in the city of Novigrad, and it looks like we’re finally reaching that point where games can do cities right. Novigrad is packed with people—yelling at each other, drinking, talking politics. There are even kids playing “burn the witch.” It’s overwhelming, especially in an RPG, where your initial instinct is to talk to every single citizen."

The combat and UI looks much cleaner and polished, i hated the combat system in The Witcher 1(is it just me?), however combat in The Witcher 2 was amazing, The AI system has improved vastly, not only that, Geralt know has a CROSSBOW!, and can climb walls and jump over objects much like Assassin's Creed, the game itself has improved a lot in many levels and directions, it looks like as if CD Projekt has done everything they can to make the game that the fan's want.

With nothing but only praises for the game so far, will it live upto the expectations of the fans?, or will it leave us wandering for more, the witcher as a game is much more about the story and the choices you make, the question is how much will your decision's impact the game, given that the game is now a much bigger open world, will the choice's alter the environment? will the alterations affect the side-quests? There are many questions yet to be answered, but there is lot of time for developers to rectify their mistakes, for now i can only wish the best for CD Projekt, the game looks amazing i just don't want them to F*CK THIS UP!.

The Game will be released for PC, PS4 and Xbone, the developers have opted for the next generation systems only(better upgrade your pc).The Game is already available for pre-order in Steam.
