It looks to deserve the high scores for making the combat look how I imagined it from reading the books. Can't wait.

 

[Kureizu]

They keep mentioning framerate problems. I hope that day 1 patch improves the performance.

 

[Blade30]

Gamespot - 10/10

PC Games - 90 % (german)

Gameinformer - 9.75/10

IGN - 9.3/10

GameTrailers - 9.8

Kotaku - YES

Damn, my PC won't probably run it and I most like won't get a ps4 until christmas.

 

[Deacan]

I will wait till I've played it myself after the praise for Dragon Age Inquisition, still feeling burnt with that one.

 

[chadskin]

GamePro (German) - 92

 

[Nyx]

The ign review criticizes the framerate on ps4... If journalists notice issues it must be pretty bad. I hope this gets fixed with a patch.

There is a day 1 patch.

 

[Mobius 1]

God damn

I'm dying here. Perfection.

 

[Summer Haze]

The ign review criticizes the framerate on ps4... If journalists notice issues it must be pretty bad. I hope this gets fixed with a patch.

They improved performance on all platforms after it went gold, no? At least that's what I remember reading yesterday.

 

[digitalrelic]

HOLY SHIT @ that Gamespot review. I've never seen them give a game a 10.

 

[SparkTR]

GamesRadar said that as well, though they were even more critical than IGN. That's my main worry right now.

 

[valkyre]

Sublime.

 

[kswiston]

Really surprised to see the Gamespot 10. Even GOTY stuff there tends to score a 9.

 

[B E N K E]

Gamereactor UK 9/10

 

[Darksol]

It begins

 

[Namikaze1]

Just one more week! Already planning to spend the week next week playing this and HoW. Good bye world.

 

[Lingitiz]

PS4 framerate in that Gamespot review seems a little spotty. Wonder if it's just the video player?

Great scores, shame about the PC review copies.

Eurogamer.net:

"Ambiguity and the messiness of human life. Games have already proven that they can build and populate open worlds, even worlds as majestic and romantic and wild as this one. But this stuff is a reminder that the Witcher 3 is trying to do something different. It is trying to make an open world feel convincingly inhabited, to give it the warp and weft of narrative history. That's a pretty interesting quest, and CD Projekt is a pretty interesting adventurer, beating a path into strange and bewitching new places. The result is that this Polish studio's first open world is one of the greatest we've ever seen."

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

That free pc copy feels beautiful right guys....right? Bring it on

 

[OrbitalBeard]

HOLY SHIT @ that Gamespot review. I've never seen them give a game a 10.

They gave a game a 10 last year.

 

[TimeEffect]

Wth, 10/10!?

I was expecting 8.5-9.5

 

[Kinthalis]

PC Gamer - No review copy due to lack of day one PC Patch: http://www.pcgamer.com/when-is-our-witcher-3-review-coming/

Hmmmm....

 

[LordBaztion]

pre order redemed

 

[loaf of bread]

Review threads are boring when you already know the games gonna be amazing and score highly.

 

[nikos]

These reviews!

 

[Z3M0G]

IGN: "Main story feels padded out by too many meaningless fetch quests and collect-athons."

 

[Anticol]

Wow, I'm impressed. Was sure to buy it before but now I will have to pre-order it.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Well deserved!

HOLY SHIT @ that Gamespot review. I've never seen them give a game a 10.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Tony Hawk 3, Chrono Cross and a few others...

[Braag]

I all ready have it pre ordered, but dayum.. I wasn't expecting quite so high scores.
I'm glad it's doing so well, good on CDPR.
Kevin giving it a 10/10 is crazy, I can't wait for May 19

 

[FF Seraphim]

The 19th is far away.... Still debating on if I should get this on my PC or PS4....

 

[Hamlet]

Impressive stuff.
May 19th can't come soon enough.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

HOLY SHIT @ that Gamespot review. I've never seen them give a game a 10.

Bayonetta 2 is the most recent one.

 

[Xord]

Local Dutch site gave it a 8.5.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

All them pre-orders, including mine. Guys, what if this game sucks?

Ohhhhhh so silly of me to think that.

 

[Vossler]

Loved Witcher and Witcher 2 - thinking about taking off next Tuesday/Wednesday - haven't done that in a LOONG time.

 

[LiK]

Totally nailed it last night for GT review score.

That IGN review doesn't match the score they gave it. It's just i as I thought, 100 hours with loads of padding and meaningless fetch quests, exactly the same as dragon Age Inquisition. The first paragraph was about how huge the open world was.. Same as da:I. Combine this with the shitty UI and inventory system means it's not a purchase for me.

 

[Dusk Golem]

One curious question, I've had the game pre-ordered for close to a year, I'm kind of hopping into this completely blind and I haven't played the first two Witcher games despite owning them forever on Steam. Should I try to play some of those games before Witcher 3, or think I should just dive right into it?

 

[boeso]

GamesRadar said that as well, though they were even more critical than IGN. That's my main worry right now.

Yup same with Videogamer's review...fingers crossed on that day one patch then

 

[WetTreeLeaf]

Damn, Kevin VanOrd spent over 100 hours into the game.

 

[Ghost Rider]

looks like I know what I'm getting once I get the last three trophies in Bloodborne. Can't wait

 

[slash3584]

Review threads are boring when you already know the games gonna be amazing and score highly.

Just you wait for an 8.5

 

[confuziz]

XGN.NL (dutch) - 9.5

 

[spookyfish]

This was the first game I was going to buy both the PS4 and Xbox One collector's editions. However, logic finally prevailed, and I cancelled the PS4 collector's and just bought the "regular" version. I'll have the Xbox's physical extras, and the game on PS4.

If I had a PC worth a damn, I'd buy it on that, too. Well done, CDP.

Just you wait for an 8.5

Well, it probably won't be Polygon, since the marketing tie-ins for the game are with Xbox.

Spoiler

Joking. Kind of.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Review threads are boring when you already know the games gonna be amazing and score highly.

Most high budget games score highly. I'm honestly almost entirely indifferent to high scores about hyped games. It's basically a toss up of whether they are accurate or not.

 

[giancarlo123x]

10/10 from Gamespot? Jesus. Glad I got this for 30 from best buy.

 

[R3TRO]

Frame rate issues on consoles are becoming a trend again.

 

[raven777]

 

[Last Hearth]

Watching some of the video reviews and all the characters look like they are covered in a layer of grease?

 

[Dictator93]

Kotaku also mentioned the framerate (on PS4). Heads up-
