Wasn't exactly hyped when it was announced although I liked the predecessors quite a bit. Didn't watch the trailers that much, so the debate about any graphical downgrades didn't faze me at all. My rig is an older one (AMD Phenom II X4 940, GTX560Ti, 4GB RAM), so I was enormously surprised that it started at all. Games like Assassin's Creed - "Cash Cow's Destiny" or Watch_Dogs - "GTA without the fun" are becoming slideshows due to the old hardware... but wait! Ubisoft and many other game studios are just terrible at optimization, TW3 is running like a dream with minor acceptable restrictions... and it's fun to play (unlike the above mentioned)! You cursing a**holes bashing TW3 - supposedly 12 years old and virgins - should STFU about it not running with 60fps all the time on their awesome hardware bought by daddy or mommy, you know nothing! There are enough positives mentioned around here already to which I mostly agree (crossbow bolts are deadly underwater, ladies get nude, heads can be chopped off, unicorn, no cheating on your real girlfriend, still had sex etc) , so I just follow up with some minor annoyances: - Time: There's is simply not enough of it in reality - Girlfriends: depending on how much you like them they're either hurting or they hurt your progress by using up your spare-time - A real job: in general not as interesting (but less dangerous) as killing monsters and humping witches - Pets: taking the real dog is simply not as fun as killing wild dogs (while they're eating a dead horse)
