    After playing this game for 10 hours I still don't enjoy it very much. I kept playing in hopes it would get better or be more interesting, but personally, this game isn't fun to me. I wish I could enjoy it as much as my friends.

Does he even feel anything? It's so obvious why this game is actually famous and that's female nudity and this game has tons of it. I have absolutely nothing against female nudity in video games, but if that's your main selling point, then it becomes a problem. It's the exact same reason why Cyberpunk sold over 13 million copies. They said game has naked females and automatically every nerd ever pre-ordered it. It's almost pathetic how easy it is to sell your game. Just put naked females into it and it can be emptiest, most buggy game possible, but it had female nudity and sells over 13 million regardless. That's why games are dying, thanks to companies like CDproject. They over promote their games with sex and nudity, while actual game/gameplay is extremely outdated.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I spent over 100 hours in this game on hardest difficulty. Completing every side quest and all DLC content. And I hated this game .
    First of , just like in many fantasy games , it kind of creates this premise that you(the character that you play, not really you in real life) are special guy whose actions will change the course of the world or how the world perceives you, it doesn't, it wont . You just yet another witcher on a job ... the whole main quest "the princess is in another castle" is just infuriatingly frustrating . You run around like a chicken completing fetch quests to no avail until you complete enough of them to finally find the princess ...
    The combat gets repetitive and stale very fast , in the first couple of hours . Once you find your style - sword , magic or poisons or a mix between and kind of figure out where you want to take your character there isn't much development in that regard at all after level 5-7 , it gets boring quick . Dodge ,slash , use a sign , repeat . . . .

    Voice acting is nice , but it alone does not warrant all the hype this game is still getting .    … Expand

    You don't have to be a hipster or anything, just be honest and ask yourself if Skyrim really doesn't deserve the throne for best RPG ever, because no individual can make that decision, it's the gaming community as a whole, and Skyrim sold incredibly well because it's universally appealing to everyone in the gaming community of those who liked it.

    - I taked my time to read some reviews and as others have said it feels more like watching a movie than actually playing a videogame, there are even small side quest that have like 6 cutscenes,,, you only have to pick a dialogue option and walk a bit.

    -The combat is also very limited, you can't jump, you can't use stealth and there are only 5 spells, so you pretty much have to fight the same style through all the game, so the combat gets very boring and repetitive after a while, even worse if you decide to do another playthrough.

    -The weapons are also uninspired, and the crossbow is one of the worst weapons i've used on a videogame, it goes from doing almost no damage to one-hit kill the same monsters if you are under water,it doesn't make any sense

    -The story was also forgettable, nothing i haven't seen in others games, you pretty much are the world savior, people complained about this type of stories in others games but in this game they decided that the story was great, wich is incomprehensible.

    But the worst part of this game is the open world design, aside of good graphics the open world feels very empty, compared to for example, Skyrim, cdproject chosed quantity over quality, there are much more npcs but 99% of the npcs just curse and spit, they don't talk with you and don't add anything to the game, in skyrim every npc was unique in some way, and they had something to say or even a quest related. i guess that cdproject knew that the open world was too empty so they decided to put a mark on the few npc's that have something to say or a quest to give you, wich makes exploration pointless since you already know where you have to go and with who you have to talk every time you get to a new town or city.

    -Other huge problem in this open world is that everything feels too scripted, theres no random events, so every playthrough is going to be the same aside the choices you make in certain points of the main quest or side quests, so the open world is pretty much just a barren land to get through your next quest

    -The dungeons are also too samey, in Skyrim every dungeon was different and had some story, item, or quest related to it, instead on the witcher 3 most of the dungeons are just small caves with a monster to hunt and nothing else

    -Aside from novingrad and maybe skellige port every town or city is copypasted and as i have said because of the npcs system that cdproject chosed, most of those "hubs" don't have a single npc to talk to, the npcs are just walking around repeating the same words or making spitting sounds when you try to talk with them, very sad    … Expand

    Absolutely appalling game, the pinnacle of style over substance and the most depressing part is how people completely eat it up. Just slap incredible graphics on an interactive movie and everyone will eat it up and two fingers to gameplay and the elements which actually make something a game instead of a movie.

    The combat is terrible, dodges can be spammed to effectively never be hit, sword range is atrocious, the end of your blade's hit box is about a foot shorter than your blade, and in general the combat is neither fun nor rewarding.

    The story is incredibly shallow and boring, which is to be expected out of such a simple premise for a story. A contributing part to the boredom is how long it takes to get into the meat of the game, 15 hours isn't enough to even begin to have fun with the story.

    Even the characters are boring, a prime example being Geralt. Geralt's personality revolves solely around having a cool voice and being sarcastic in the same manner as a middle schooler. I believe Geralt represents what CD Projekt Red storyboard developers wish they were, and in this manner, his character is incredibly shallow.

    The UI is atrocious, way too many redundant menus, and interacting with them is incredibly janky and just detracts from an already non-user-friendly game.

    The controls, just like the UI, are awful. The general lack of maneuverability is showcased by the input lag involved with moving that makes any amount of walking a chore.

    But hey, at least the graphics look nice!    … Expand

If it weren't enough that the games writing and characters are out of some odd fan fiction, the dialogue moves slowly and lacks choice, character control is oddly primitive, combat like an arcadey, spammy hack and slash, the skill system bloated and unnecessary and the environments are boring and samey, not invoking the slightest bit of curiosity or wonder and the much touted feature - the graphics - are technically strong, testament to the quality of the asset libraries they are from, but somehow hard to look at, suffering from poor, or perhaps no creative direction. I could perhaps forgive the game for some of these problems if had at least one redeeming quality but there are none.. even the menus are an unwieldy mess.

    The Witcher 3 says no to all of this - it's a great game with a fully realized setting, it's a joy to play, the business model behind it treats its customers like human beings, and it delivers a story that finally hits the tone of the books.
