You seem to only be reading the negatives to reinforce the opinion you already had.
3 RPGs in the GoTY race. What a year to be alive :')

I didn't need these reviews to tell me what I already knew.
But, damn if it doesn't feel good to see The Witcher 3 cementing that Masterpiece status.
Your move Batman and Metal Gear Solid V.

You could just watch these:

Playing the games are better, plus you already own the games so you could just rush through them.

Amazing scores!
That's exactly what I got out of it as well.
Bad main story. Great optional side-stories.
No thanks. I think I'll be staying away from this. I knew the open-world design for this one would work against it.
IGN also mentioned framerate issues for a brief moment, but it didn't have a bullet point in their final verdict.
We were told the same about the PS4 (promo) version, for what it's worth. Funny how other reviews afaik have been based on debug only code, that I'M SURE it's more polished than the promo one.
Damn, what a powerful case of confirmation bias.

Well looks like I'm getting this game.
Damn, my PC won't probably run it and I most like won't get a ps4 until christmas.
You can grab a cheap 750 ti, they go on sale for ~$100 constantly and consistently outperform the PS4 in multiplatform games.

In the Gamespot review at minute 05:45, thats definitely Philippa Eilhart's voice actress. Neato!
While I don't mind a few fetch quests here and there anyway, I've read that any fetch quests that exist in Witcher 3 simultaneously serve to develop side characters, which sounds great to me.
Hmm, slightly worrying.
Hopefully the Day 1 patch helps alleviate some of that, since the version they played didn't include that.
Other games like GTA IV, GTA V, Halo 3, Mario Galaxy and Last Of Us got 9.8 from GT in the past.
But the highest score was Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter with a 9.9. But strangely the score was changed to 9.1
It's not that rare, but you can see that only well regard games received a score like this.

So I've never played a Witcher game and had no intentions of playing Witcher 3.
Until I started reading these reviews.
Until I started reading these reviews.
From kotaku:
Each of the games many small villages offers something new; a man will flag you down, asking for help dealing with a beast thats been killing his livestock. Or maybe a merchants wagon will have gone missing and shell offer Geralt some coin to track it down. Perhaps one village will have a message board covered with notes left by the villagers: Please stop stealing milk from my cows; has anyone seen my lost hat; can someone help out with the bog wraith that keeps killing people? The villages all start to blend together, effectively conveying the feeling of a war-torn kingdom full of shitty little villages populated with desperate people.
Sigh, I hate these filler side quests.
And didn't CDPR say there wouldn't be any fetch quests??
Though the straightforward and fetch-quest-heavy main story overstays its welcome, the option of joyfully adventuring through a rich, expansive open world was always there for me when Id start to burn out. Even if the plot isnt terribly interesting, the many characters who play a part in it are, and along with the excellent combat and RPG gameplay, they elevate The Witcher 3 to a plane few other RPGs inhabit.

Sounds great! I didn't really like the Witcher 2 or what little I played of the original, but I do like some open world games so I was always going to try this anyway.
Hmm, slightly worrying.
Just looking at the Gamespot reviews there are drops all over the place in combat.

Perfect sendoff for the legendary witch-hunter. Expected nothing less from CDPR.
Hope to see you again in the future, Geralt of Rivia.

Do any of the reviews that are talking about the iffy framerate mention that there is a day one patch? I think it's pretty important to note that.

Currently Bloodborne and Super Mario 3D World are the highest scored next-gen games with a 92. Lets see if this dethrones it, currently has a 91.

Hmm, slightly worrying.
Better be fixed with the day one patch. Or else developers need to start giving us the option to drop resolution.

Hmm, slightly worrying.
the fact only VG seem to have this problem so significantly, makes me wonder if theres a problem with their debug ps4.
Hope we get some information about this from other reviewers

I knew the game would look awesome and have a good story and music. The last one did. But it was such a chore to play through and the combat and menu systems were awful. I hope they would have addressed this but it's clear they didn't.
I can't stand when they say how large the map is and how the game has over 100 hours of gameplay, it means artifical padding and filler missions, which is what the reviews are saying.
Not everyone has to gush every time a new game comes out, like what happened when DA:I was released..
I own this on Steam for the exact reason I expected them to focus the least on PS4. That and it was much cheaper =x

That's sweat from all the ploughing.
Given that they live in an agricultural society.
Yup,dont get me wrong, I'm looking forward to this game. This just means I'm going to skip a shit load of stuff. What bugs me is that CDPR said there would be no fetch quests.
Well sadly that won't help, as I still got a dual core (core 2 duo e8400). I would need a full upgrade/new pc.
