Another rant about how amazing this game is and how incredible a year 2015 has been for gaming.

I have invested about two hundred hours into The Witcher 3. I played until Crookback Bog on the PS4, loved it so much but was frustrated with the frame rate that I bought an Alienware laptop to continue playing through it. I've been playing the game like you would drink an expensive wine. Slowly and savoring it. Two hundred hours in and I'm only just finishing Bald Mountain and I'm around level 28. I haven't beaten the game and yet I know it's my favorite game of all time. Every character could die off and there could be a stupid ending and I'd still love it. I'm just having so much damn fun. The depth of this game, the side quests that feel story rich and not tedious, the fact that monster contracts could've felt grindy but instead feel unique. Hell, this game does detective work better than any detective-esqe game I've ever played. No part of the game feels like it was lacking any attention, everything small detail is beautiful and equals to one hell of an immersive experience. Not to mention, I have many friends who have told me that they bought this game thinking it, "might be similar to Skyrim but nothing could be better than Skyrim". And weeks later they tell me, "it isn't Skyrim but it's better.. So much better..". And these are people who are very bitter about gaming and typically spend their afternoons playing competitive fps games.

This year we've gotten so many amazing games. From Bloodbourne, MGSV to this masterpiece, and we have Fallout 4 on the horizon (another game that might even top The Witcher 3). I've been so poor for the past few years, unable to play games. My gaming experience has been playing Fallout 3 over and over on a shitty laptop. So I feel absolutely amazed and lucky to have jumped back into gaming during such an incredible year. I'm so giddy right now, and I'm glad I have a community I can share my thoughts with. I know posts like this sound like a big circle jerk, but it's been an amazing year for gaming. I hope you all are having an incredible day / night! Get out there and complete some contracts!
