  • Is it possible to choose a video game of the decade? There's so many to choose from, and it's impossible to compare games (especially outside genres). Ultimately, I narrowed it down to a few games which I discuss in this video: Dark Souls, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, God of War, and The Witcher 3.
    Thanks for sticking with me through this year. I've learned a lot about myself and I've been doing a lot of changing in the last few months in the way I approach making content. There will be more changes and new things happening on this channel very soon, so stay tuned.
    Big shout out to all my fans out there! You guys are the best.

    Thumbs this video up if you'd like to see an "Indie Game of The Decade video." Likes help me gauge interest for future similiar videos. I could get it out sometime in the next week as I already have the game in mind for it.
    Either way, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to watch my content this year. Next year, big changes are coming to Downward Thrust, both in how videos are made and my general attitude towards game critique. Let's just say I'm going to be celebrating more games rather than provoking controversy (whether warranted or not).
    Anyway, I've covered The Witcher 3 in-depth, but I could not deny it Game of the Decade. Instead of repeat what I've already said about the game, I decided to bring in other games and topics before going into why The Witcher 3 is the best of them all. Obviously, there is no measurement here: this is personal, yet I think the widespread acclaim for the game speaks for itself.
    This is a discussion video, so it's not all about The Witcher 3. Want to skip straight to The Witcher 3 conversation? 3:24
    *What is your Game of the Decade and why? What makes it so special?*

      @@sherlock7127 I love old hunters but the beast of touissant quest beats 80% of the old hunters dlc and lore. Let's not get into how well they introduced Gaunter O'Dimm in the beginning, telling you about Yen and then disappearing, only for him to be the main antagonist in one of the DLCs. For the most part I dont thibk they're comparable, bloodborne's fighting system is way more refined than the witcher 3, but the witcher 3 focuses more on story than combat, where as old hunters has a very vague story, open for discussion and speculation. Then that leads to youtubers like vaatividya to do huge leaps in logic and sense to glue together some very vague pieces of lore. "Who could Living Failures be? Maybe an old ancestor of Gehrman?" (I think you get my point).
      Ludwig, Orphan of Kos, and Maria are all amazing boss fights. Let's forget about the stains that Laurence and Living failures left on an otherwise amazing DLC.

    Witcher 3 would definitely be my game of the decade. Time spent playing the witcher 3 just disappears like a magical dream. I get bored of big open worlds yet when playing the witcher 3 time just disappears.
    In just two playthroughs i sunk around 230 hours into the abyss that is witcher 3.
    At a time in my life when little interested me, my friend bought me witcher 3 one Christmas. And that Christmas holiday I could not put it down. Time dissolved when playing it. Normally after a couple of days of binging any media i feel burnt out, yet I had finished the game and all the dlc before I even started to think about burnout. Whilst i did not 100% the game on my first playthough i was by no means speedrunning it. For the first time in ages I felt passionate about something and that for me is why i hold it in such high regards.

    I must be one of few in the camp that actually liked the Witcher 3's combat system and controls. Honestly, really enjoyed it. I liked how you could make your character very mage heavy, sword heavy, or potion heavy, or how you could mix and hybrid the styles. I thought the styles mixed well with the controls. It was easy to use magic in combat, or potions too. And of all the RPG openworld games I have played, and I have played many, Witcher 3 is the only game where I actually used potions and oils to buff my stats to help me kill a certain monster or enemy. Witcher 3 and with its DLCs are honestly a 10/10 for me. A masterpiece.

    • @alosnocallereal1734
      @alosnocallereal1734 Před 4 lety +48

      You are not the only one. The combat is satisfying once you get into it, challenging and rewarding if you plan a strategy.
      This nitpicking is just overreacting. The only real problem with TW3 is fistfighting in narrow places (e.g. at the gwent tournament in Novigrad), whereas there's always room to improve in other matters. The game is an absolut masterpiece.

    • @InvertedWIng
      @InvertedWIng Před 4 lety +18

      I think the Soulsborne games may have spoiled us. The combat in them is just SO GOOD, the controls are so responsive, and the weapons are just so varied and impactful that really nothing is able to rival them. Which kind of puts other games in a conundrum. They can either try to copy what FROM did, in which case they'll all just feel samey and derivative, which won't do the industry any good, or they can make their own combat system, in which case they'll run the real risk of making something that feels inferior to Soulsborne. That's kind of what happened with The Witcher 3. It came out only a couple months after Bloodborne with a combat system that tried to have its own feel and which took a lot of inspiration from the Batman Arkham series, and it just wasn't as satisfying to play.

    • @jgsource552
      @jgsource552 Před 4 lety +31

      most people are saying the combat is trash because it's not primarily mechanically orientated, but instead, based on your builds and preparations. While i prefer dark souls combat over witcher 3, I still admire its combat considering how i have to put some thought before entering each fight. The ones who dislike it are also probably the ones who chose the lower 2 difficulties, because they don't require any levels of preparation, but moreso hack and slash. Thus they completely complain on how its combat isn't up to match with dark souls, yet they miss out on the best part of witcher 3's combat, that being how you must know your enemy, or die.

    Witcher 3 IS the love of my life. Been playing RPGs for 30 years now. I´ve seen it all, but Witcher 3 (including the DLCs that make the game perfect) is simply unbeatable and beyond any comparison. I have played it 4 times through (total of 1138h) and discovered many unknown details and possibilities even on my 4th playthrough! The incredible music, the characters and their depth, the world, the brutality, the erotic, the exciting and emotional story line, the combat system, the lore, the HUGE and most beautiful world... all come together to combine and form an unforgettable experience. Witcher 3 is LOVE, Witcher 3 is LIFE. I can but hardly express my admiration, my love and gratitude to CDPR for this literally hundreds of hours filling, MASSIVE and EPIC MASTERPIECE OF ALL TIMES - that is WITCHER 3.
    Just the thought that CDPR obviously is planing a Witcher IV sends shivers down my spine. Tip to the hat to all Witcher 3 friends out there who feel the same and know exactly how insufficient words are to express the memories and feelings, when you hear the tunes or even the name....Geralt of Rivia.

For me it's the total opposite, I've played Skyrim for hundreds of hours but as much as I love it if I look at TW3 it just blows it away in departments like character development, narrative, acting, visuals, and even music. Don't get me wrong, Skyrim is a masterpiece for I play it solely for fun, while I play TW3 mainly when I'm completely free and I manage stuff around my playtime so I can get immersed as much as possible to enjoy the story, atmosphere and insanely well developed characters thanks to the books.

    Witcher 3 was my first game on the PS4, and it was when I truly started to think that current/next-gen video games from then on will be able to engross me in as much as any media format we consume regularly have been able to do in the past. It's been tough though because really, only a handful of games have actually been on par with the Wild Hunt experience so far. But the fact that the level of production, and delivery, developers can put out now is incredibly exciting. It's only going to get better for sure. Thanks CDPR!

But trust me thats 1 thing i noticed about "those" hard games yes its true ac origins is easy cant argue with that but the point is the movements is crispy when you press dodge it dodges as soon as you press the button and thats why its easy unlike those "hard" games it has some sort of delay and makes you wanna press it in advance so you wont get caught up on whats coming for you.

      A fair warning. First: the game is highly addictive once it really gets going. The beginning is a bit sluggish but trust me, most of the 100+ hours is quality content. Secondly, the game is like the tv show in a way that it doesn't really explain any of the lore that much to you, or the characters you might meet. While Witcher 3 definitely stands on its own, it is a piece of a trilogy in the end. Oh and in case you didn't know already, the games are set AFTER the book series ends and the tv show is based on the book series. So expect to be somewhat spoiled for the books and when the tv show resumes.

    This game changed my life i would say. After spending almost 1000 hours with Geralt since witcher 1 my character developed too. Even some of my habits have changed. And i would never thought i’m gonna be listening to a song in a cutscene of a game for 3-4 minutes straight and start clapping and crying when it’s done. Witcher 3 especially was a magnificent game with perfect characters and presentation. It’s cast of voice actors top notch and it’s story is well thought. Unlike some other games and developers cdpr and witcher 3 is full of content with a reasonable price. Offers replayability and joy. Bought 3 games in a summer sale for 5 bucks. For 5 bucks i had about 1000 hours of immense emotions and fun. I cannot compare this kind of price to performance with anything. Witcher 3 is the best game ever released to this day and probably i won’t see a game that surpass Witcher 3 anytime soon.
    THAT GAME MADE ME WANNA DELETE MY MEMORIES TO BE ABLE TO PLAY IT AGAIN TO FEEL EVERY EMOTION AGAIN WITH EVERY SURPRISE!!!!!

    I’m finally going through the game on Nintendo Switch and I am currently engrossed in everything Witcher 3. One quest that stood out to me because of the dialogue and the twist halfway through was the quest line with Fyke Island and Keira Wentz. I cleared the island for Keira and was expecting some run of the mill reward and be sent on my way but the quest threw me for a loop at the end and I won’t spoil it for people but the amount of choices you have to complete this quest was amazing to me . I also found later on after some reading that there was an option to end the quest line prematurely if the correct dialogue was selected . It made me think about all the previous quests that I had done and what I could have done differently or said differently. Sometimes choosing the correct dialogue can be the difference between life and death for a side character. I’m excited for the rest of the game and know I’ll be putting in 100+ hours .

    It would be wrong to discredit all of dark souls’ achievements to demon’s souls. Sure, demon’s was first, but dark souls had the story and the bosses we all remember and it was dark souls who’s name was thrown around as a measurement of difficulty and a meme. I personally agree with your choice of the Witcher, but in second place for me I would place dark so- bloodborne. Bloodborne takes second place.

    @Downward Thrust. Huge fan of your content I have been for awhile and I’ve constantly heard not from just you but from friends who have played it as well that The Witcher 3 was their game of the decade as well.
    I finally got around to doing my first 100% run on Death March difficulty while upgrading accordingly and I have to say, I just got past White Orchard to Velen the first main area of the game and I have to say I’m loving it so far once I got past White Orchard.
    I have to say, when I was in White Orchard which, I guess you could call the games tutorial area of sorts, I wasn’t really all that impressed as it just felt like other action RPG’s I’d played before and I wasn’t really all that impressed and wasn’t getting what my friends were telling me was so special about The Witcher 3.
    Luckily once I killed the griffin in White Orchard and I moved onto the first main area past that, I realized “wow, this might surpass Breath of the Wild as my game of the decade.”
    Mind you, I haven’t beaten Breath of the Wild yet as I just got my switch a few months back so, I’m not sure but, as far as story goes, I can easily say The Witcher 3 far surpasses it as my game of the past decade and I’m not even that many hours into it yet.
