Should we give the Netflix show another shot? How have people liked it?
it will hopefully get better in season 2. season 1 is basically based on first two books containing short stories so it gets confusing for people new to the franchise.
Skip episode 1 and then the show gets really good
Nah don't waste your time it will only get worse.
@@Jo24689 maybe for you joe who only watches lifetime movies on the hallmark channel cuz they can't change the HDMI on the tv.
@@CookieSicarius Or I'm a true Witcher fan who wont accept Netflix giving us a below mediocre quality with terrible writing.
She's a "higher vampire." A bruxae to be precise. In the Witcher universe there are weaker vamps who cannot stand sun or change into believable human forms...but as the types advance, they are able to pass...some even have stopped drinking blood, and they fit right in. This trailer was made in such a way as to hint at the various skills witchers have. The "potion" he takes at the beginning is called 'Black Blood." It essentially makes his blood toxic to vampires, which is why after biting him she has such a vicious reaction. Witchers have many such potions...some give them superior night vision ("Cat"), some increase their speed, agility, lessen bleeding. The shaking necklace he wears is sensitive to the presence of magic...it serves as a kind of early warning when monsters are about. The glass sphere he throws up into the loft is called "Moon Dust;" a liquid with a high silver level that makes the vampire at least partially visible. As with the potions, Witchers have multiple 'bombs" for use against different monsters...fire bombs for monsters who are susceptible to fire, freezing types that can slow a usually speedy monster, poison gases...the range is like a medieval arsenal of modern grenades. He uses two swords...most people with a passing knowledge of the stories believe he has a steel sword for use against normal humans or 'natural monsters' and a silver sword which works on the undead or supernatural types. This is not true. The "silver sword" is a steel sword as well but has an outside plating of silver which does more harm to vampires or were creatures. But it could not be pure silver because it would be far too fragile. People think such a sword could only work on monsters...they are mistaken, a blade works on regular humans even if it is silver plated. He also has low level magics he can use. Not as powerful as a sorceress or mage but you see several in the clip. There is a kind of golden globe that covers him at one point; it's a kind of force field that can protect him from some damage. He also uses the Aard spell...that's when he basically blows her backwards. A force field used offensively. He also has a limited fire spell, Igni, and a kind of trap spell called Yrden he can cast in a circle on the ground to slow, weaken or hamper certain monsters. And he's been taught martial arts since he was a child; witchers are usually orphans. Their training morphs them into super humans...most have extended lifespans (unless a monster kills them of course), they are immune to disease, are totally sterile. Theory has it that the sterility was worked into the potions and spells they are exposed to in training because regular humans didn't want to allow a race of superhuman creatures to breed. It has a cost though. Most of the children are killed or maimed in the physical training, and of those who survive that, the chemical and magical "Trial of the Grasses" they undergo later kills or drives mad about 70 percent of those who reach that level. Not many Witchers about. Their lovers seem to like them; they're virile, won't give them a disease or get them pregnant...and they don't stick around to embarrass the community or the parents.
Nice! Thanks so much for posting all this info. This Is a great Cliffs note version for the Witcher ignorant like us
With this "higher vampire" I would hold back. Because it is a highly debatable issue. In Sapkowski's novels and games, there are only lower and higher vampires. There is nothing in between. The lower vampires are mindless beasts that do not have human form. Higher vampires are highly civilized. They drink blood for pleasure, not necessity. And only another higher vampire can permanently kill them.
But Bruxas and the Alps (and something else, but I don't remember the name). They are not wild (usually). They have a human form, often so beautiful that it is impossible to know that he is a vampire. But they MUST drink blood. And they can be killed normally. So they don't fall into any of these categories. If anything, it is rather lower due to its common occurrence.
And even worse. What Oriana actually is is even more confused. Because it is strongly suggested in the game that he is a higher vampire. Rather, some just Bruxa would not be one of the most important women in Toisant and a person who knew the hideout of the hidden. But the DLC was made long after this trailer. So the creators could change their minds while working on it.
@@Sandro_de_Vega Yeah, there's a lot of muddiness on exactly what Orianna is. She claims to be a higher vampire, but that's likely just her thinking she's all that when she isn't (or her trying to bluff Geralt into thinking she's a higher vampire to intimidate him). Either way, Geralt was able to kill her, so she cannot be a higher vampire. Then it comes down to two species: she's either a Bruxa or an Alp. She looks like a Bruxa and has all the speed and strength that Bruxae have, so it seems clear that she is a Bruxa, but then at the end, they show us that she's burning in the sun. That's a problem because Bruxae are impervious to sunlight, and suggests she might be an Alp. My guess is that she's supposed to be an especially strong Bruxa, and the "burning in the sun" part was just a mistake that shouldn't have been put in the trailer.
@@Tantalus010 I think it wasn't her burning in the sun, but because of the Black Blood potion/acid Geralt drank. That would make more sense
@@Tantalus010 Yeah, pretty sure she burned under the sun because of the black blood; and because she was dead.
And she definitely isn't a Higher Vampire, or Geralt couldn't have killed her at all. Probably just a very old and strong Bruxa.
The game and books are both considered masterpieces, in the gaming world few games hold a candle to The Witcher series.
High praise! lot of people share that sentiment
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I've read the books, watched the series and played the games, It's an amazing world and one to get lost in for sure
And its almost crazy that on the gaming side of things that CD Projekt Red when they made the first Witcher game had no idea on how to make a game and then produce a game that lives to almost 20 years later as one of the greatest games of all time.
There are plenty of games that can hold on Witcher 3, but hes not wrong, this game is really good ! Worth every penny :)
@@Azhureus Cheers mate 🍻
There is another good trailer for witcher 3 named "killing monsters"
And also "Sword of Destiny"
Great! We’ll check em out.
Yeah its really good too.
What's even better was the joke that they put into the game referencing the "Killing monsters" trailer. Lambert's impersonation of Geralt is priceless.
@@richvestal767 Lambert? Where?
Geralt, the Witcher, knew he couldn't keep her from biting him, so he drank a specific poison that he himself could survive, but the vampire could not.
Ah, makes sense. Proper Planning is the key
The black blood potion. Damages undead when struck
@@landongrills6049 Only vampires my dude
not any undead
"Black Blood turns imbiber's blood into poison; blood becomes lethal to monsters which drink it."
@@nathanford1201 "Witcher's blood injures vampires and necrophages when they wound him. 15% Damage returned" - it does in wild hunt.
The show is based off the books and not the video games. Every aspect of the games - characters, music, writing, world-building - is infinitely better than the Netflix series.
Netflix "Witcher" in comparison to the game is a crap, trash and kitsch.
To expand on that, the games are more faithful to how the characters are described in the books but they happen after the point at which the books end so all stories didn't happen in the books. The show is telling the stories of the books but changes a few things about the characters.
@@ragnar97 i mean they still fail in similar ways, for one thing Geralt is still hot :D
@@flash1face1 in your opinion. A lot of people disagree.
The show isn’t terrible but boy do I wish I it was as good as the games
Here's a little fun fact about this video:
While this was released as a trailer for the base game only later people figured out that the entire thing was actually also an epilogue to the second expansion "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine", wrapping up the story of the vampire Orianna (the woman in this trailer). Geralt learnt during the story of "Blood and Wine" that Orianna was running an orphanage for the sole purpose of feeding from those kids as she enjoyed the sweet taste of the childrens' blood. Geralt was too busy to deal with her then and there as there was a far bigger threat on the loose he had to deal with, but he swore to Orianna that he would be back for her.
To remind the players of the trailer (as "Blood and Wine" is basically the end of the game series) they had her sing this song to a scared kid. You can propably image the reactions of us players when this realization kicked. oO
Love the fun fact!
Also they have her singing inside a barn and geralt meditating outside on the menu screen
@@the_dropbear4392 THAT WAS HER?! That menu is my fav, but still creepy as hell. (I turn music down in all games, so she sounded waaay creepy. Lol)
@@cinuzuka
The music in the Witcher is great, ant not really creepy other than one or two places.
The song isn't sung to a scared kid, its about witchers, and monsters sing it to their children.
witcher-games.fandom.com/wiki/A_Night_to_Remember
The fact that this trailer is a call forward to a character you want to kill in the game but don't get to... and are then shown the fate of that character... is why this is one of the most legendary trailers I have ever seen.
😎🤟🤩
The potion he drank before he went in is called "black blood" which is dead man's blood which is very toxic to vampires (most vampire lore wise).
Since he let her drink his blood it she got poisoned and weakened.
Her diamond based skin rendered like normal flesh which is why he could cut it with one swing afterwards.
Nice! 😃
I've been going through a lot of these games. I love to get hyped up before I become immersed by watching some cinematics or trailers. Having people to react alongside, even if on a screen, is a great thing. I'm glad I finally got down to watching this one, since I'm about to go continue my play through. Thanks for being definitively awesome.
🤗 hope you are having a blast playing through this! We keep hearing it is one of the best 😀
Years later and that trailer still gives me chills. Such a fun game. Great show as well, but I can see how it would be a bit hard to follow for those unfamiliar with the franchise with the timeline bouncing around like it does.
I always love the eyebrow raise when she says "things like me?"
Agreed!
i love that touch with geralt drinking a dose of black blood to poison the vampire if she ever gets to bite him.
Some other people have explained that to us and it’s definitely a clever move. Proper preparation is everything 🤓
The song sung in the trailer is called “Lullaby of Woe”.
Thanks! 🙂
I mean ngl the games are much better than the Netflix show, people who wrote and made them really knew the books and what theyre doing. The show is just decent, and a bit confusing.
The series is based on the books and the author of the books is directly involved. The games the witcher 1-3 are based only on a license agreement that the Witcher universe was allowed to continue as a game after the end of the witcher book series.
yeah, yeah.
@@haraldmax9685 et least games didn't make half of the charcters black becouse they were worried people will call them racist
@@ignacyroson1044 Yes, the political correctness is annoying and here it is even racist towards European culture. I don't think that stories that are based on African saga culture / world would be cast with Edgar Winter as a voodoo priest.
@@haraldmax9685 Sapkowsky was only involved in going to pick up his paycheck. That's all. The story was totally ruined. Key moments in Ciri and Geralt's relationship were cut, an important character was made to look like a wimp for no apparent reason, they got into a problem with the magic system that will require more changes in the future or forgetting the rules. Just to name a couple of screw-ups. In short, a disaster. The only one with passion in that series is Henry Cavill (and the only one who seems to have read the books, rather than a Wikipedia summary).
Love how they did this cinematic with little "Dance duo" in a way
😎🤟
The Witcher game trilogy is set after the events of the novels and thus acts more or less as a sequel. The Netflix show is an adaptation of the novels. The first season specifically adapts a series of short stories that happen before the events of the main novels.
😎👍😊
I remember when this trailer hit, it was like few days before game release, my girl and me were playing it non stop. Such a good game !
☺️🤩
This is one of the Best games that you'll ever play. U should definitely play this
Yeah it looks super fun and lot of people have been singing its praises
May I correct you? The BEST
@@Arman-hx7vr haha yep true
Love how you guys think and talk about this stuff. Subbed and belled :)
Nice! 🥳🥳🥂🥂 welcome! Glad you could join the community here. Tiny but mighty. Hope you enjoy the other videos 😃🍻
You have to love the commitment to the game this was a trailer for; everything the witcher does, is an actual in game ability, and he uses them like you do in the game.
Nice! 😎🤟🤩
A very sad, tragic but also moving trailer. Her crying makes you really sad, but if you know her backstory, you cannot help but think her motives. Also the trailer shows you how smart Geralt is, poisoning himself as a precaution... Way to go Orianna, you'll be missed you crazy lass...
☺️
It wasn't a precaution; it was the only way he could win. Watch the fight carefully before she drinks his blood: while she's invisible, she blocks his silver sword with her forearms, meaning even his silver sword cannot cut her. He needed to poison her to have a chance at killing her.
@@Tantalus010 It was not poison on the blade however, she got poisoned after biting Geralt due to the potion he drank, not remembering it as it's been years since I last played it. That's what I meant by precaution.
The thing is about this Trailer if you understand the law behind it and what is going on fully it's actually beautiful. The think he drinks at the start. Is a potion that makes his blood weaken the vampire. The dust bomb he throws is also in the game both things you have to collect herbs for and travel around and find the ingredients to make them to fight the monsters and apply special oils for each monster. The game is truly a masterpiece and this trailer when you watch it again after playing it actually made me almost cry with how good it is.
🤩 another reason this game is on our bucket list to play 😃
I havent seen anyone comment it yet. But I guess a "fun fact" about the song in the background (Lullaby of Woe). It's a Lullaby that the monsters originally created to sing to their monster children I guess. We humans see them as monsters, but in the song which the monsters sing, they refer to the Witcher as THE monster. Kind of like a boogeyman story that we tell kids irl, so that they learn to behave, but with a twist, where we humans are seen as the boogeyman.
I hope it made sense.
🤔😬😅
That’s super interesting 😃 thanks for telling us about the monster lullaby 😁👻
Isn't that just Orianna's tune she sings to the children in her own private.....mhm...Bloodbank-House?
The game is awesome. Those reviews and scores are not lying. I really liked the show, but as others have said, it's more related to the books than the games.
😎🤟
Witcher 3, one of Most favourite games ever. Absolutely incredible story and gameplay. And a massive world to explore. Great video. Keep being awesome
🤩🙂
Great reaction. You should also check out the opening cinematic of the game, called 'The trail', I think you'll like it.
Sounds good!
LOL Netflix didn't do that TV show right for a lot of people.
Yeah seems like it. Though some have said it is worth a watch if you just have it in your mind that it is nothing like the games
I don’t understand even half of what you are saying. The video accidentally ended up in my recommendations. And even now I use a translator. But I want to say that you are great, that you are just doing what you love. Good luck to you!
Russian fan of the Witcher :)
Спасибо. Рад, что вам понравились наши видео. и спасибо за использование переводчика, чтобы мы могли прочитать ваши добрые слова
The song she sang btw was about The Witchers, who were feared by humans and monsters alike.
Thanks for letting us know and filling us in 😃
This is one of my favourite trailers in general.
😎🤟🤩
You need to watch the Overwatch cinematics. Game is trash but the cinematics are pretty much Pixar quality
The one named "Dragons" Is sooo good
Over watch. I think it’s on our list but will double check
Great reaction..im a gamer and played all great games since 1993...Witcher 3 is best game ever for me..no game can even come close to this masterpiece
That’s what many have said. This and Red Dead Redemption 2 are in our bucket list. Not sure what the greatest game we’ve ever played to date would be 🧐
I never got too far into Witcher 1 but I did read the short stories after it, really good, and Blood of Elves, but couldn't wait to play Assassins of Kings :P
When the Sword of Destiny trailer dropped for Wild Hunt, it was the best feeling. Goosebumps all over. Full hype. And I knew then and there it was real.
"We meet again, Witcher..." -- NewGame+ ruclips.net/video/WCKQcshNph0/видео.html for Vesemir!
These guys reaction make me funny
and are honestly cute‼︎
Nice reaction‼︎
Thanks 🥳☺️
Me first time watching the trailer:
Well...this will just be like some story trailer and show medieval shi...
Oh...that's some beautiful scenery and the woman too...oh, geralt!
Is she his ex or something...wait she's sweet and harmless why is he behaving like that...hol up. Why she undress....wtf? Alright....super seducer now...what? She vanished? She witch or something?
Now does he have some badass sense to detect her...what's that ball....oh the...wow! Smart move!
Yeah now geralt the badass kills her easily...wait she's fucking him around! Damn, how is he supposed to survive?
What now? Some one comes to save him or...wait what's happening to her? Oh....the potion!
Wtf...wha....oh my god! That's so smart and cool!
Wtf that's badass! What the..
I WANT THIS GAME
That pretty much sums it up! Great play by play 😃
Her name was Orianna, shes a Vampire, but its kind of a debate whether she's a Bruxae, or a higher Vampire. Less Vampires in Witcher are ekimaras, Bruxae, and Ekidnaes'.
Hasn’t realized there was a lesser type of vampire 😯😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Yeah, Elder Vampires are the "walking natural Disaster class" typ. Like that one Vampier politetly told him.
"Spend 60 years in that Pithole with plenty of Woodenstakes through my Body until i could heal and get out of there." Or something like that. It was also the same reason he swore to never ever drink Blood again. As Blood for those Vampires are like a *very* fine Wine.
A Bruxa vampire; one of several vampire types found in the game.
Freaky vampire. Not one to take lightly from what we saw 😮
All you need to know for the Witcher show is that everything is done from different times i was confused at first to but it will all gather up nicely and you will definitely enjoy it better knowing that. So I’m not sure what episode u have watch but their are 3 story parts of each people one being yennefer being the oldest part of the timeline, the Geralt timeline is in the middle nearing the time line of the girl Siri but before hers. Siri is the present timeline. This isn’t some cliff hanger so don’t worry about spoilers it’s just something u ended up finding out later which u wish u had known sooner to enjoy but once u know about this timeline thing everything will be layed out nicely for you.
Okay yeah knowing that there are different timelines from the beginning definitely helps so that’s good to know when we try to watch it again
you oughta react to the "Killing Monsters" The Witcher trailer. it's fantastic.
Yeah it’s on our list to get to as another subscriber recommended it to us
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames ok, cool. I'd also recommend the game if you're really into rpgs, since its arguably the best in that genre. The writing in that game is next level in my opinion.
The netflix show is based in books.
The game is obviously based in books but rather a continuation of the story (not officially sequel)
if you read the books the ending of the witcher is open for possible outcomes.
the game developers knew the book so well that's why they managed to make a great story for the game.
Makes more sense now. Also, nice Avatar ☺️
i would give the show a chance it took me like 2 or 3 ep, but then it got really good. also a reaction i recomend is Star wars the old republic. has like 5 trailers that have an order. so the first one is "Return" then "hope"
We reacted to SWTOR ruclips.net/video/4pAnBb_f3Iw/видео.html hope you like it 🥳
You guys should watch the Witcher 2 cinematic trailer!
I love this trailer so much ..
Witcher 3 has some amazing trailers 🤩
Just found this channel but have these peeps reacted to the Wait For Me cinematic from World of Warships? Its not really a gameplay trailer but I feel like they would enjoy it.
No have not seen that. Will add it to our recommended list and do a reaction for it
Actually that one was already in our list of recommended trailers so hopefully we can get to it soon
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames cool, looking foward to it.
I wouldn't say that the Netflix adaptation is a good way of getting into witcher, but oh well, also *Fun Fact!* Much of the creatures, and lore (Excluding the kingdoms obviously) are base around old Polish pagan mythology
Thanks for that fun fact. Polish pagan mythology is something we aren’t familiar with but this game is on our bucket list to play. Waiting for remastered version to drop. 😎
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames always happy to share a bit of my knowledge as well, I'm something of a history nerd myself, as to Wither 3 remaster, I think you'll have to wait a bit for that, cause CD Project Red is working on fixing Cyberpunk as of now, and W3 is not THAT old of a game, but who knows, anyway, I'm sure you'll love it (beware that it's quite long and many people don't play it till the end (that's why cyberpunk is waaay shorter))
This trailer hits so much different if you have played the game.
(including dlc-s)
Love it anyways.
Sure there is plenty we missed but still enjoyed the trailer being completely new to the franchise
i'm late but good reaction to this witcher trailer
Thanks! 👻🙂
I always luv tis game
Just for the record, she is a Bruxa (a female vampire)
Yeah we foolishly thought Witcher’s hunted witches 😂🤗 and then thought this witch was a vampire witch or something. But we’ve since been corrected. Looking forward to checking out more vids from this and playing game as well 😎
Loved it
Glad to hear it 😃
The Show is hard for a fan to get into for some points as all die hard fans will say. we just nit pick to much. But, Cavil does a great job being a Witcher fan himself.
But, If you are interested in learning more about what a Witcher is it may help you understand his character in the show a bit more. There is a RUclips video called what is a Witcher I think. I
do honestly think that they should have put that into the show on how a Witcher is chosen and what the trial does to them. But, overall the show goes over a few of the books in pieces but, overall I think they did a good job with what they had to work with.
Cool thanks for suggestion to check it out before giving show another shot 😃
It's not a trailer but check out the Mortal Kombat Armageddon opening every character ever shows up in that opening it's just a fun watch is all its also kind old but still fun
That sounds different. We will add it to our list as we are trying to do one Mortal Kombat reaction a week leading up to the films release. And maybe we will continue for a weeks after just because the film looks fun as hell
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames I might have miss said something the vid will have char from the 1st - 7th game which is 50 characters but we even got more after this game cause of 10 & 11🤯
Hi there! it would be great if you did a triple reaction to the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt and a triple reaction to the DLС "Hearts of Stone", "Blood and Wine" for the game)))
1.1 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - VGX Trailer
1.2 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - The Sword Of Destiny Trailer

Hey I have question
Could you react to some anime as well
Like Weathering with you?
We could give it a shot. Honestly not that familiar with anime so not sure how it would haha
You have to play the BaW expansion to fully understand the story here...
Yeah it's a bit odd to have a trailer serve as an epilogue, especially considering that Orianna being a vampire is treated as a twist in the game, but if you're caught up on the trailers you recognize her
finished Witcher 3...AWESOME
you gotta play it
Everyone raves about it so looks like we must 🤓
The game was awesome, probably even better then the books. The Netflix tv show however suffered from too many people that didnt play the game and thought it to be necessery to inject their own story or politics... only thing they did right was cast Henry Cavill (an actual fan) to play the white wolf :)
Yes have heard Henry Cavill was bright spot and that’s not surprising. Loved him since the Tudors 🥰. The game looks fantastic and heard it was getting remastered so hope that is right 😁
Lore of..excuse me not typing right polish names from my memory. (they are very unique) like vkl is wolf...just remember old ice hockey games when i was a kid. Obviously lore is pin point and the games are pretty awesome. Never gotten why random ppl think they can take on professional monster hunter. Its that well done game ppl actually thinks you are the monster until they need the help. About the series...i watched it in one evening and night. It is based on books which are translated to many languages and i found them no so interesting. Side and after note I read books in london :)
Thanks for sharing that! If season 2 gets better reviews we may try and power through season 1. Either way we plan to play Witcher 3 when it gets remastered 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The witcher 3 is getting ps5 and xbox latest update this autumn if I remember right. Even original takes shit load of power with PC. I actually upgraded my GPU 2 times that it is seamless. Waiting you to sink into that...would be fun to watch. I do like your channel and I don't say that to a lot. More like never...
Try the books!
GOTY 🏆
Game from 2015, cant believe you guys didnt know this game
Us either tbh. 🤗
U should watch the other 2 great trailers of the witcher 3 as well
Yeah they are in our list 🙂
guys where are your drinks????
Lmao, this was an earlier video before we paired drinks with reactions 😂🥂
the best trailer for the witcher 3 is "killing monsters" i think u should watch that
We did ruclips.net/video/Uspu94SFocQ/видео.html 🥳
Here's another short Witcher 3 Trailer: ruclips.net/video/53MyR_Z3i1w/видео.html
Thanks for the link. We are going to get to watching Killing Monsters real soon. Next week or so 😁
She really say give the show another try
мне нравится они) спс за реакцию...
The netflix show is based around the books
The Netflix show was not good...they games presented themselves way better
Amen
The show is fantastic
The witcher prepared for that fight by drinking Black Blood which turns the blood of vampires to a burning poison. The vampire died in terrible pain
Slick move 🤓
I honestly don't recommend the netlfix show considering what they've been allowed to do to it, but i can't recommend the games or books enough. They're epic.
The Witcher Netflix show IS undoubtedly a little rough and much more for those people who really like the books and lore. It is essentially based on a bunch of short stories in the first couple books written, which is why it jumps around so much.
Ps...I actually had almost this exact battle play out while playing Witcher 3 lol.
Yeah we’ve been told it is more based on books and since we don’t even have game knowledge we were really lost 😂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames If you rewatch it just take each episode as a short story in the lives of the main characters. Sort of an introduction if you will.. Hopefully in season 2 they get in to the actual series of books and it is a linear storyline.
witcher 3 the best game i ever play in my life
That’s what a lot of people have been telling us 😃
The show is so much better when you know the story behind it. The first season of the show is based off a book in the series that itself was a collection of short stories. That’s why the show is all over the place. It’s a prequel, it’s just setting the scene
That’s what others have said. It’s more book based than game based but more people are familiar with the games
I really loved the show, but it is more based on the books and the characters back stories then the games. The games are set after the show and a lot of the people you meet in the games are in the show. So if you end up really liking the games (if you play) the show might be worth going back to. The show is complicated and kinda confusing esp at first, but it is much more truthful to the books and imo the best part is getting to know the characters. If character piece shows are not your vibe you won't like it. Also if you are only fans of the games for the gameplay and the plot (show has completely diff plots), not the characters themselves then show is also not for you.
Fair review. We appreciate it 🙂
Witchers acquire their abilities as a result of powerful mutations. Witchers are made from children, in several stages. Each of the stages is experienced by 3 out of 10 children, which is why there are so few witchers. In addition, people do not like them, consider them the same monsters, and do not miss the chance to demonstrate this in every possible way.
Cool. Thanks for explaining some of the world to us 😃
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames No thanks, it's not difficult for me)
Could react to the new mortal kombat movie trailer soon?
Good call. We will do that this week hopefully
"Killing monsters" is a way better trailer for the Witcher 3. Check that out.
Cool beans, we will!

Go for Dead Island 1 Trailer
Yeah we do have Dead Island on our list. Not sure if one has been asked for yet. Will double check
actually Witcher is polish made thing
0:48 Video starts here
Witcher on Netflix is completely garbage... But the game, especially witcher 3 wild hunt is the best rpg.
Not only best rpg..best game ever
Witcher Books and Games > Witcher Netfilx
It didn't surprise me that Witcher Netflix didn't keep you two engaged. As a reader of the books and playing the games, the show was hard to watch. By the game cinematics, already you can tell how much love and effort was poured into this rather than the series. Sadly, so far the show as not reach even close to the level of the games. I don't it ever will be by the looks of the writing. Have fun with CDPR's masterpiece and definitely pick up the books!
Thanks! We are looking forward to playing this game as most have said it is one of the best ever ☺️
Read the books or play the games you may like it
We plan on playing Witcher 3 😁
The netflix series was made of the books, not the games. xD
@rat The first season did not adapt any of the main books. It adapted "The Last Wish" and "Sword of Destiny", which are collections of short stories preceding the main story. Also: The author of the books commented favourably on the series. Sooo .. I'm not sure what you are on about.
Game > Netflix Show. Always for me.
For most people it seems. Can’t wait to play this 😃
and hell yes give the show a good try
😎👍
This monster is a Bruxa - a higher order vampire. Vampires in the Witcher world are much different than normal lore. Most are literally sentient land-bound bats. When she notes that "In times past, a Witcher would never take this contract" she is correct. Witchers are strong, but still start as normal humans that undergo mutations, they are far from superhero status. Higher order vampires are something that can easily match or exceed even the most powerful Witcher.
moon dust bomb, black blood potion and vampire oil on sword......try a game, it's fun
Yeah we want to get to it 🙂
the witcher show was good. far from perfect though. also timelines are kind of twisted there without explanation, and without any reason to not be explained, which kind of makes it hard to follow.
but it was ok show, a bit rushed i think. they should have spread it a bit, spend more time on the stories of each episode.
Hopefully season 2 is better 🙂
I personally loved the series. Sad you guys were put off of it.
We’ve heard a lot of people say it was closer to the books than games and that it was three different time lines? So confusing at first but worth a watch. Has season 2 come out? 🤔
It depends on what you like. The witcher games are awesome the witcher books are awesome and the witcher show is awesome. They just happen to be 3 diffrent mediums and eachh as purists that cant stand one or more of the other mediums. A show on a screen has to change some things a book might do or a game might get away with some are not so happy about that game fans are mad about lack of Geralt when in the books you have entire sections with out him at all ect. There was also race politics and gender politics involved for some people most the people that mention a problem with casting or a charecter are actually hiding this problem... So the whole thing gets complicated when you ask an open question like that. Some will say it is the best thing ever some will say it is the worst.
I think you should give it a go If you can put up with not being told by a banner on the screen where you are and when. And having a bit of a slow burn when it comes to information. The deeper they get into the story the more epic it will get . I can not say much with out some spoilers but for a story based on something simply called the content this story goes through massive amounts of time and space.
Okay, I think you may have sold us on giving it another go for at least a few more episodes then we initially gave it
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames A few tips .
If you can, Watch it in 2 or 4 episode binges it helps make it more cohesive.
Watch it with subtitles even if you usually prefer not to as they have people speaking elvish that give hints you wont catch with out subtitles.
Everything is connected yet nothing is what it seem time frame wise.
These are magical people so some can live 100 or 1000 years so never assume by face how old someone is or how long someone has been somewhere.
There is no such thing as not important dialog in this show.
This is for all intents and purposes a prolog to the whole story so it will not stay like this every season .
I hope you get into it this time and really enjoy it .
Netflix f...ed up this great series by forcing multiculturalism , stripping it of slavic mythology, bad writing and casting that leaves much to be desired. For some people it is still cool to watch though.
Yeah have heard some people say it is worth watching with the right mindset but most have not liked it at all
I do like the show mainly because I LOVE the books and games but the show COULD have been better if they just focused more on source material instead of PC culture and taking liberties. Just stick with source material lol stop trying to "make it better". With that said, I think you should give it another shot. Maybe read the books or listen to them on audible which is a lot of fun actually!
Good suggestions! Especially the book on tapes. Might help us get through all the books we want to read
I hate the show because I like bed the books and they butchered it
The monster in the trailer Geralt is fighting is a Bruxa a medium and high vampire and it’s a women who he interacts in the dlc blood and wine and she feeds on the blood of the orphans that she takes care of to keep them calm a bruxa is sort of a vampire that is stealthy in combat and the only way to weaken them is with moon bombs and fast or heavy strikes I played Witcher 3 and I played every dlc in the game and it’s so cool you guys should live-stream it and play it on stream it’s a such a masterpiece and everything is great the storytelling is good and it also has choices and consequences decisions that impact the story kinda like Valhalla but it’s a lot more immersive and the consequences can be bad or good
It’s a game we for sure plan on playing at some point 🙂
The Truth about the Netflix series is that, even if they try to follow the original material...
And they hired a really GOOD actor for Geralt, somehow they didnt manage to do it perfectly, I believe its because they wanted to be "So Inclusive and diverse" and whatever.
So they limited their options in casting just to have "Diversity" In a story that is heavily inspired by Polish Mythology, so there should be lots of white people, and somehow they decided to:
1: Diversity so not following how the character looks.
And 2: Because "Women must be portrayed OP and invincible" they gave a female character that is a really powerfull MAGE, "Dual Wielding Sword Skills" Just Because.
play the game!!!
We will. This and Red Dead Redemption 2 are on our bucket list 😁
It's funny when scriptwriters in game trailers are much better than in TV shows and movies. And the adaptation of netflix is terrible. They tried to "improve" what Sapkowski wrote, but since they are not good enough for him even as a student, they ruined almost everything they could reach.
Yeah the game trailers have really been quite impressive as we’ve seen more and more. So much emotion backed into a short amount of time for some of these 🤩
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames The most difficult thing is for the screenwriter of a full-length film, he needs to fit the story in one and a half to two hours, create a complete story that moves from scene to scene without making the viewer want to sleep or thinking "what the hell did I just see?" For scriptwriters of series with a good literary basis, the easiest thing is to hold on to what millions around the world love. But no, you have to stroke your ego, bring in yours. When a book shooter is good, it turns out to be something like the Lord of the Rings. But more often children's drawings on top of Mona Lisa
Oh sweet summer child the shitflix show sadly has NOTHING to do with the original Witcher story or even with the games.
