I was playing Sunday night and I swear I heard the Wilhelm scream in the game. For those of you not in the know check the link out. It's been used in so many movies I wouldn't be surprised if it's made its way into video games.
That being said, have you guys heard it in The Witcher 3? How about any other games?

It does it when you take fatal fall damage if I recall correctly. I absolutely abhor the Wilhelm scream and a few other overused sound effects. It completely destroys any suspension of disbelief I had. Audio engineers often put it in as a sort of running gag, but it's run far too long and has completely worn out its welcome with me. That said, some manipulated variations of the scream are fine and actually makes it seem like the audio guys were being creative. As it stands now, it feels like a fart gag inserted into serious situations.
