This game has been acclaimed by many people as one of the greatest games of all time, yet it is not even close to meeting those claims. I have tried to get into this game twice and have failed both times. Both experiences started out with numerous technical errors during installation/set-up that although doesn't greatly affect my feelings toward it, left me with a bitter taste in my mouth before even playing. As for the game, it is highly polished and the quality is apparent, yet the combat feels very disfluid and tedious that leaves me wanting to avoid it as much as possible, rather than seeking it out as good combat should. The graphics are stunning, yet low framerate makes them much less enjoyable as well as ruining combat (you have to wait until the middle of a battle, with high lag and low fps to realize just how well you can actually run the game). The game has its fair share of bugs, specifically with Roach, that are frustrating and ruin immersion. I can't comment much on the story, other than Geralt is obviously a one dimensional hackneyed fantasy badass with his atrocious Batman voice acting and ridiculously tough character model. I see the appeal of the game, the world is immersive and the complex mechanics provide endless entertainment. I just don't see how this makes it the best game ever made. Don't listen to that hype or you'll be nothing but disappointed.
