Well, if you're an insecure heterosexual male who needs a power fantasy, the "Witcher" franchise remains a great option for you. It's about as pleasing as reading a Gor novel or watching snuff films. Seriously, this game plays like a resentful neckbeard's mary sue fanfic. For just about anyone else who actually cares about the story and their character/role in it, this game will grind on your nerves. If you're a woman, like me, then it's probably even worse. In what way is my gameplay experience enhanced by forcing me to play as a medieval douchebag named Geralt? I've yet to hear a cogent argument for that. I mean, jesus, at least give us the option of playing as a truckstop lesbian named "Geralta" or something. Or is that out of the budget? So glad this kind of crap doesn't do well financially.
