The Witcher 3 has been getting a lot of attention. It’s highly anticipated and is all plenty of people want to talk about. However, not all people get it – what makes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt so special? For me, this launch trailer perfectly encapsulates it.
Without any ado, here is the trailer:
And because no one should miss this video, here’s a non-YouTube link for those who can’t YouTube in their current location.
I love the way that the video shows the personality of Geralt and the history of the world of the game. It’s not just that he’s a professional monster hunter, there’s so much more to it. There’s lore and sexiness and weight to the whole thing. He’s cunning and knows his marks, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t take a beating. It’s all about using everything at your disposal to win, all for a bit of money. He isn’t taking quests out of the goodness of his heart, he’s doing it to survive as a mutant monster killer in troubling times. There’s more to the story and a whole lot more character to discover, but this scene, this moment, is the core of what makes The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt so exciting. This is just one of many experiences that players can have, and it looks and feels amazing.
After what felt like an eternal wait, The Witcher 3 is finally almost upon us. 19 May is just around the corner and everyone can get their hands on this title. Oh, and notice at the end of the video – CD Projekt Red is hiring. Now that must be an incredible place to work considering the games they create.

I see Polykak called The Witcher 3…Oppressively Misogynistic..
Kromas,powered by windows 10.
May 15, 2015 at 09:11
I recently heard that men who open doors for women are the worst type of misogynists so I pretty much ignore anything sexist at this point.
Sorta like gaming causes violence. Everyone knows games are not at fault.Lag is.
BacchusZA
May 15, 2015 at 09:35
Seriously? Jesus.
People **really** need to stop abusing that word before it loses its real meaning. There’s a whole HUGE world of difference between old fashioned manners and misogyny. Call it patronising or condescending, or even sexism or chauvinism if you must, but misogyny? Really?
“I *HATE* WIMMIN SO MUCH I HAVE TO OPEN DOORS FOR THEM!! RAAARGGHH!!!”. People seriously need to get a grip on their manufactured outrage.
Female genital mutilation, child brides, sex slavery, “honour” killings, acid attacks on “immodestly dressed” women? Now shit like *that* is misogyny, not opening a fucking door for someone.
Sageville
May 15, 2015 at 10:12
I draw my line at chivalry being regarded as misogyny.
That is ridiculous and petty.
Call me a misogynist all day, I will still let ladies out the lift first and I will hold doors open for ladies. I do so unapologetically, because: manners.
Novakaine
May 15, 2015 at 16:11
Do women realise that most of the chivalric code is battle ettiquette?? So the next time a woman tells me “Chivalry is dead”…I’ll challenge her to physical combat. I’m pretty sure I’m the better jouster…

Yeah, I don’t mind an opinion about the matter but such agenda pushing in a review is just…Blegh. Not to mention insulting to one of the few good developers out there.

Greylingad[CNFRMD]
May 15, 2015 at 10:28
Oh Lord… I was waiting for that, I see that their scoring is directly tied to the gamersgate scale too for that matter. Where they’ve managed to misrepresent the word contextual as well…I’m lost for words…
Umar
May 15, 2015 at 10:37
Same here bud. Really disappointed.
Greylingad[CNFRMD]
May 15, 2015 at 10:46
What I don’t understand is that if in a game, for example Wolfenstein the New order, you use something as a contextual element, in this case the atrocities of the concentration camps, to fuel the anger towards the Nazi scumbags, you would reward it with critique, my personal opinion is that the new order made me hate those buggers more and that’s what they set out to do… With the polymerpooper review, the only thing I read was a biased opinion on a gamersgate issue….Anyway…I can feel my eyebrow twitching…. Though this trailer…The music…I will be locked in a room for the next few weeks, if you don’t hear from me in four weeks time, I have probably died of wounds inflicted by playing the Witcher 3…
Umar
May 15, 2015 at 11:44
Yup I feel you, the article below mentions it, and that’s it’s within context. If it was misogynistic Yennefer wouldn’t be the character she is. I am 100% for inclusion and proper representation but FFS, I can’t handle reviews pushing agendas.
Greylingad[CNFRMD]
May 15, 2015 at 12:00
Yep! I’m with you there man! Even with the representation, everything related to it has a sense of flaw in it, as long as this review doesn’t carry weight with regards to the studios performance I’ll be happy…

He also gave it an eight and otherwise enjoyed it. There IS sexist content in the game. Doesn’t make it not awesome, but its there.
