I had purchased this game a few months ago when it was on sale because of its popularity and the outstanding applause it has received. But I only began playing it a few days ago and it was NOT what I was expecting. Instead I was taken by complete surprise. I initially did not have much interest in this game and bought it while it was on sale in the case that I should ever have the desire to play it, and I'm so glad I decided to start. I can't get enough of the story, the lore, the characters, the quests, the combat, the creatures, the general atmosphere of the game and the attention to detail that is enough to make you accept and tolerate whatever flaws you notice about it. The game's size is massive, and the story long. But this is what makes The Witcher 3 so incredible, that its length is not that which is completed in a few dozen hours because it has so much content yet it does not feel tedious or boring (for me at least) and you are experiencing much more than you ever paid for.
If you buy both this game and Bioshock 2 remastered, i HIGHLY recommend to play the classic versions that are included with both games for free. The audio and visual effects are far superior to their remastered (or demastered?) counterparts and i experienced no in-game issues aside from the rare stutter. Anyone who has played the Bioshock titles on either the Xbox 360 and PS3 before they were remastered should play the classic versions on PC, it's a much more satisfying experience and they can easily be run at ultra settings if your hardware is not too old to run them at 1080p 60 FPS. Thank you GOG.
