The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

What can I say, huge fan of the series. Witcher 2 was my go to game, loved it and got lost in the story and exploration. Preordered W3 and waited for the perfect time to play it, well after release date as I wanted to give it my whole attention and love. 12 hours of gameplay later I am finding myself looking for another game. Why? Its just not that fun. Fantastic gorgeous landscapes, interactive open world exploration, detailed and unique characters and NPCS, perfectly animated monsters, weather, plants, trees.......................... and I just dont want to play anymore. Why again? hideous controls. If I have to spend another 5 seconds repositioning myself to pick up herbs or loot I will scream. If I have another baffling combat battle where weird things happen seemingly of their own volition I will throw my mouse. Even giving up and just spamming fast attack is a hot mess with camera views and feeling out of control of my characters actions. If I have to kick Roach again to get him to canter and watch him slog off to the left instead I will have a tantrum. If I run past my target again and stop 3 ft past then I will sigh in desperation. If I have one more day of dim shadowy landscapes at high noon I will get a headache. If I have to remember to toggle on walk before I can loot my fallen foes more easily I will just walk away. If I have one more view blocked by geralts arse I will rage. If i hear another villager spit on me I will flip them the bird. hours searching and loading mods to fix my complaints. No new game needs this much work in order to have the basics: such as a zoomable camera view to players preference, player control of inventory, easy to use spells and bombs, easy to control main character. As for the landscape.... oh what a landscape. At the highest settings it pops, it sways, it sighs, gurgles and cracks. Gorgeous. I get lost in exploring the wilds until i stop to pick a flower or combat happens. so disappointed

Let's keep it simple : one of the very, very best RPG (and even video game in general), ever.

Amazing

One of the best games i have played If you liked Mass Effect, Dragona Age or Skyrim you will love the Witcher.

The best game I've ever played. Gameplay and storywise. Beautiful settings and grim realities in an epic world. Just wished Triss was as hot as in witcher 2 :)
