    IGN forgot the most important part: Witchers are immune to STDs and so Geralt bangs every maid, witch, lady, and female magical creature during his quest and collects nude selfies.

      Michael Lattimore there already was a Witcher show based on the Witcher books before that was 13 episodes called The Hexer in 2002, but it got really poor reviews and wasn't very good. I do think if they made another Witcher show it might end up pretty successful, depending on how well it's made and if it isn't too much like other medievil shows. I honestly think a Witcher movie might work better.

      OverSizedMidget It's going to end after season seven or eight, since they only have two books worth of stuff before the story in the books ends. They are drifting away from the books a little bit, but the ending is going to be pretty much the same, and the overarching story will be pretty close.

    People should still at least play Witcher 2, it's an incredible RPG that still stands today in terms of gameplay, graphics and story. You make a lot of important decisions in it and a few will impact the story of Witcher 3, such as the choice of sparing or killing Letho the Kingslayer Witcher. I know this for a fact because you can also slightly see him from behind in one of the trailers. And of course if you do play the 1 or 2 you will actually care for the characters that Geralt encounters such as Triss, Yennefer, Dandelion, Zoltan and many more.

      Why not? A true gamer is immersed in the games doesn't just play the last one. That's like a Star Wars fan just watching Return of the Jedi and watching little five minute summaries of the others. It's fake and honestly disrespectful to the creative people behind the properties.

      @MIxosmefistous 9 лет назад +2

      kentriz182 although i have seen star wars 1-6 2 times or more each,i've got to disaggree with you on that one.Watching old movies is nowhere near as playing old video games.
      That said,there is no such bullshit as "a true gamer" it's something u've made up to give a purpose to your empty life and to justify your pathetic past decisions to play certain games to fill in- those self-made empty gaps you've got inside you and u can't come clear with yourself and accept them as stupid decisions due to your low self esteem.

    • @kentriz182
      @kentriz182 9 лет назад +2

      That's a pretty judgmental statement. Not sure how being a gamer is anymore pathetic than literally any other hobby? I was just saying a true gamer as in a true fan would seek out and indulge in the art and fiction of a game. I just movies as a example. Movies are easier than collecting multiple systems to play various games. However, splinter cell, metal gear and hitman, some of my personal favorites, have all been made into hd collections. If you enjoy the games play all and enjoy the full experience.

    Slight correction: It’s actually a two-year gap between Geralt’s death and his return. The first game mistakenly said five, but the second game fixed it by establishing that Geralt and Yennefer died in 1268, not 1265.

    @DoomWalker42 9 лет назад +3

    Thanks IGN!! This saves me from having to play the previous games even though I did play a little bit of The Witcher 2. Now I actually understand what is going on and I thought the video was going to be very rushed but it isn't at all. It was quick but smooth and very clear and informative. Now I know Geralt's story. Personally I think he should leave Yenifer and go with Triss because I like her better, lol. And that was from my short time playing the Witcher 2. Now I am physched for part 3 though I might just play part 2 first while I wait for part 3 to go on sale since I already own part 2.
    Cheers!
