Make sure to watch in 4K! Happy Birthday Witcher 3.

This game is just an absolute masterpiece and the best game I've ever played and you just feel empty once you've finished it.

holy shit, priscillas song

Everytime I hear the witcher 3 music I cry a little. This game truly is a part of me for the rest of my life. People often say that gaming is a waste of time or it won't do you any good.. But because of gaming I now have something that I will carry with me all my life. Not many people can say that.

I think the witcher 3 has a serious case for greatest game of all time

My favourite game of all time. Thanks for making this.

I bought the game 2 years ago and I still haven't played DLC's, I'm too afraid to end it.

This is why I play computer games. No other medium can transport you to a historical or fictional time and place so immersively; from my perspective neither books nor film can give you the experience that a well made game can. The music, world, interactive gameplay and story all combine to create an adventure you never want to end. I'd forgotten just how amazing this game was, but watching this video brought it all back to me in an instant, and I realised, I think I forgot just how much I loved being in this world because it was too painful to remember just how much more at home I was in it than in reality. This game portrays a nostalgic view of the mythical past that resonates with me on a profoundly intuitive level, like a genetic memory passed to me through my ancestors. The world used to be so much more brutal, short and hard...but it was also so much wilder, mysterious and full of intriguing possibility. Stories of monsters in the undiscovered depths of ancient woods would be told at flickering firesides, and you would believe them. But whilst this knowledge filled you with fear, it would also inspire awe and wonder - for if there are monsters, there is magic too.

This game came out in 2015. And it's still the most beautiful game I've seen probably ever. So much stuff to do too...still haven't beaten it...

This game has the best environments I have ever seen. Never seen better looking forests, for example, in an open world game! 5/5, overall highest quality game I've ever played.

I really hope netflix can translate this into a amazing series,, i mean the funding is deffently there

The unhealthy amount of time I've spent playing this game. Thank you so much, CDProjektRed.

Literally the best game ever made to date. No doubt about it. Also one of the best masterpiece of art ever made in recent history as well. It's just pure gold in many ways.

This game really is indescribable in a few words. I've never played a game that is so atmospheric and narratively rich in the story, characters and the world. I cared about the characters. I cared about the search for Ciri. I cared about whether or not I left the Witcher world in a good state. When I merely think of wandering around the decaying, war-torn land of Velen, the gorgeous, but treacherous city of Novigrad or the lonely, cold islands of Skellige, I smile so much. It was beautiful - simply the best gaming experience anyone can wish for. I mean the main story is brilliant is on its own. But the amount of attention and detail they put into the side quests and witcher contracts was mind-blowing. Once again, I cared for the characters and felt emotion for them. I felt the emotions of the characters. For example, I felt scared when Geralt was travelling to Undvik, I felt sad when Triss left Geralt on the boat in Novigrad. I felt happy when Geralt and Yen got back together. I felt relieved when Geralt and Ciri reunited. I felt heartbroken when Vesemir died. The list goes on and on. I still get nostalgia from when I played it non-stop; it was literally the only game I played for about 4 months. It took a little getting into as the world is very overwhelming and you have to get used to the mechanics and crafting. But once I was into the game, it felt like it was me wondering the word of the Witcher. So much adventure and beauty. Simply fucking marvellous. If anyone wants to know how to make a game, look at this. A once in a lifetime game.

Dammit, I'd only just managed to pull myself away from this to play some other games.... guess I'm going back!

Yes yes yes so much yes! This game needs so much more attention to its beauty, though I wish you had included some shots from the "Through Time and Space" quest, where you travel through some stunningly beautiful worlds

Watch for the jumpscare at 1:06

What saddens me is that I'll never play a better game in my life.

after i finish the game, i bactracked-visited every place in reverse to the chronological order of the story, and end up near the tree when geralt woke up, saved my game, and close the game.

I play hundreds games in the last 20 years...the witcher3 is the best game that's i ever play i swear after i finished the game i felt empty and didn't play any other video games for one complete year

Even all these years later, The Witcher 3 still holds up.

That acoustic cover of Pricilla's Song is honestly the most breathtaking beauty in this video, it brought up so many feels, wonderful music choice guys at DTH, as always.

I can not stress enough how much I believe that the Witcher 3 is by far the greatest video game of all time. It's story, it's characters, it's combat, it's scenery, it's impact. Every single little detail of it is a riveting fantasy RPG adventure that I will remember for the ages. Thank you to CD Projekt Red for creating such a beautiful and breathtaking world within the Witcher series. Thank you to DefendTheHouse for this video which quite literally brought tears to my eyes. And thank you to the fans for giving this game the love and the support it deserves.

Glad you like it. I live in poland and we are proud of witcher, almost more than every other franchise. Thank you for this tribute ;)

As beautiful as Toussaint is (and it's bloody gorgeous) I will always love Skellige the most. The landscape paired with the absolutely appropriate music and haunting sunsets is just so very transcendent.

Its hard to define Witcher. Its not like game, you know, its like part of your adventure through whole life, something like 190 hours (well at least for me) in another world. Everytime i watch videos related to W3 i cry a little because of memories. Thank you CDProjektRed for everything you do for me.

Welp guess it's time for my 4th playthrough

Replaying it now, still awesome

You won't fool me, I know you filmed this in real life.

such masterpiece.. my heart died a little when i finished this game. not only the beautiful scenery. but everything in it. the story, scoring, battle system. remembered how geralt can be the menacing swordsman and monster slayer, a detective and suddenly a comedian. thank you for such great time CDPR.

I will always remember landing on Skillige during my first play-through as one of my favorite moments in gaming, as I was lucky to arrive in the midst of an intense thunderstorm. Surrounding me was all the loot from the shipwreck, and in any normal situation I would go running about like a madman mashing E, but I just stopped, jaw hitting my desk, and started walking (yes walking, not running) off into the nearby forest. Bolts of lightning arching across the sky illuminated the dark silhouettes of distant grand mountains and the rain, wind, and the rattling of the trees was nearly deafening; nevertheless, I turned the volume on my headphones up a tad louder. I reached the top of a hill where I had a wondrous view of it all, and then as if on cue, "The Fields of Ard Skellige" started playing. I think that's the only time I've cried while playing a video game. Sometimes, I really wish I had the awareness to record it, but maybe it's good that I can't re-watch it over and over until all the magic of that moment is burned away.

who else feels extremely fucking sad when going to kaer morhan after everyone left ? :(..

So beautiful it Made me cry.. thanks a Lot for this :3

It's beautiful

Played this game on 1080p in my PC, thought it was the greatest game of all time, bought a 2K monitor and played the game again still think is the best game of all time, then i thought to my self this game must look fucking amazing in 4K, bought a 4K monitor to play the game with all the DLC one more time and is still one of the best games of all time. This just have everything you can wish for in a game. This game should be one of the wonders of the world.

Perfect music, perfect nature, perfect story. This is love.

Wonderful video, some of the best music from the game with awesome sights!

2 years later, i still play this game and its one of my all time favorites. It truly is a masterpiece. I couldnt get enough of The Witcher so i bought every book also. They are phenomenal!

Ive never watched a video without checking what time left or surprised it ended fast except this one, felt i lost tracking time for a bit. Amazing work the shots are reallly timed cant imagine how hard to get them specially the dragon one flying then going down omg you video is so beautiful

The editing for video and music in this video is excellent, transitions are flawless. You can tell a lot of care went into the details. Great job on the craftsmanship!

Thank you DefendTheHouse for highlighting the beauty and art style of this amazing game

can't wait to see what CDprojekt Red can do with Cyberpunk 2077!

This game was perfect. The music. The landscapes. The depth in the characters. I still get chills.

I loved this. Please make more game beauty showcases! All your content is wonderful.

MASTERPIECE.

It truly amazes me how a small dev team was able to make what i'd consider the #1 game of this generation (at least so far) while a big company like Bethesda makes some contrived, watered down, poorly written "RPG" like Fallout 4. The game is a marvel to play on PC with Ultra settings.

Great capture work and prolific editing. Wow. This captured tonally the spirit of the game. And, beautifully spotlighted all the different locales and scenes (Even Toussaint/Beauclair from Blood & Wine). Bravo. Going to share this on my Twitter and on the Witcher Club on Xbox One. Excellent video.

Beautiful. I'll always remember the great moments in my first playthrough!

One of my biggest dreams is that one day a game about Middle Earth and Tolkiens Lore with this game style comes out! Pleeeease make it happen!

I just bought this game yesterday. I'm gonna start it now.

Awesome video!! watched it in 4k in all its glory. Witcher 3 was so epic, loved playing it!

Excellent video! You have some amazing clips in this. Witcher 3 will go down as my all time favorite game. I can't imagine anything at this time that could dethrone this from its very high pedestal now or in the near future.

My story is short. I started play w3 found first sunflower field stopped and watched it for 10 minutes

The best video game I have ever played in my life.

This is an amazing video! Thank you for uploading this!!!

Thank you for making this! My god I will never forget the journey I had with this game. The music brought back all the good memories. My favorite game of all time.

I might have to platinum this game again

I LOVED THE TRANSITION TO SKELLIGE. OH MY GOD.

AWESOME video bro! loved Witcher 3. Its wonderful ladscapes and story were over the top.

Every video that has Kaer Morhen`s theme as soundtrack turns into a beautiful video

Guess i have to go play another 200 hours of this beauty. This game is just in another level.

2 years later still the best game of this generation its just a masterpiece!

Almost fainted the first time I gazed upon the beauty of Kaer Morhen and Skellige, and still nearly do. This game is still many years ahead of its time.

Ah, the memories that this music can bring back. Really good montage! Great work!

I would pay to forget the story just so i could play it again.

best game ever! I got the platinum trophy 2 years ago then 100% the game after with DLC's loved every single minute of it! I've been considering buying the game of the year edition just to do the same all over again! :)

The most heart-wrenching part of this, is knowing I'll never play this game for the first time, ever again... God, that feeling when I played it for the first time........ it was so magical :'( :'(

Absolutely beautiful video thanks for that really enjoyed that. Well done

just barely bought it this year when it was on sale. it very quickly became my favorite game, it's fucking beautiful.

I'm close to finish this game...but I don't want to! I don't want to end this love!!!

Thank you for this beautiful video and editing

Beautiful video! The transition at 3:01 is so smooth

"The beauty of Witcher 3" Proceeds to show a bunch of people hanged on a tree.

I would sacrifice one of my ears just to experience The Witcher 3 without knowledge just one more time.

One of those rare KZfaq videos where I did not disturb the cursor to see how much time is left because I did not want it to end. Also, that Skellige soundtrack at the end !! Made my day, thanks for the upload :)

Beautiful video. Great editing. Gorgeous world of The Witcher.

I can hear my GPU screaming already...

Is their any one who is waiting for another witcher game so badly.

Finishing this game left me empty but now I can relive it. Thanks for the video :)

Can you pleaaaase make some more of these? There's never enough witcher world beauty to be shown!

Oh my god, this is so beautiful. Hands down the best game I have played. How do I judge? When I completed the story, I felt so empty, I was so sad :(

If you think GTA is the king of open world games you are objectively wrong.

This video is beautiful, thanks man ❤️❤️

Wow amazing video for the best game series ever! I'm trying to clean up my backlog a bit so that by the end of the year I can replay the entire series.

It really make's me sad that i will never again play this game for the first time. I love this game and the witcher universe. It makes me tear up a little that i will never experience the feeling of exploring places like fyke's island, novigrad and toussaint for the first time. Strange how strong emotions this game can create.

great video for the best game of all time

I bought the game a year ago and started to play just yesterday.The game is beautiful,so is your video.Nice work!

Z okazji kupna TV 4k chyba zagram w to jeszcze raz, wygląda niesamowicie :O i jeszcze te odwiedzone miejscówki dodają nostalgii

What a gorgeous video casting my sweet and unforgettable memories into moving pictures and music. The Witcher III is undoubtedly the masterpiece of this generation!

4:13 is the only place I NEVER found.

One day someone will say "Witcher 3 is example that graphic doesn't matter, gameplay and story does" but not yet... not yet...

One of the best games I ever played in my life! Thank you for this video 😊
