What? Did you not see all the 9's and 10's? Only 9's and 10's.

Ah I see your conspiracy theory is still going strong.
Yeah, it's like the game was reviewed by different people, right?!

The fact in the GS review he says this game is easier than the previous is very appealing to me. I found the witcher 2 very hard to get into and gave up fairly quickly.

so much for all that 'little to no fetch quests' promise CDPR
So anything that doesnt get 10s across the board is overhyped? I don't know if your hype is as "in check" as you think...

Great reviews all around. Getting PS4 version myself.
They explained that the reviewer wanted to give the game a 10, but their editor in chief said "No" to it and it got down to a 9.9, which was still a bit much for the game.

So far Bloodborne and The Witcher 3 seem to have delivered on the hype. Nice, will buy after exam season ends.
Judging by replies to your post in this thread not many people on Gaf are "smart enough" to understand your posts
You know that reviews are subjective, right?
I was talking about another post from another thread that he brought up for no reason.

No. Reviews threads for hyped games are consistently among the shittiest threads that this site has to offer. And it's precisely because fanboys and/or trolls can't handle the fact that reviewers disliked perceived great game/liked perceived trash game. Mind you, I have no problem with people actually delving into the review text to question certain aspects of a review or highlight concerns. But kneejerk reactions to the scores serve as the fuel for abysmal conversations that often result in a lot of gray names.
So, no, I don't think my statement was counterintuitive. I understand that we can't ever get away from reacting to scores entirely, but we can try and grow up a little in terms of how we react to "game I liked was scored a couple of points too high/low."

Reviews are great all around however hearing the same concerns about combat + fetch quests has made me disappointed =/
Jeff Gerstmann doesn't like video games, don't you know that!
I'm sure we can find some excuse to invalidate his opinion later on.
Don't do this.
Not for RPGs. I mean this as a general point about reviewing RPGs. Look at Pillars of Eternity, not a single reviewer noted the serious bugs that existed in the game released on day 1 nor the terrible balance issues once your party got beyond level 10.
This is not to knock the reviewers, what they're doing should best be described as a tentative, first blush impression of the game. RPGs are very complex games. It is virtually impossible for a reviewer, in 100 hours, to accurately assess how buggy the game is (and a game of this size will doubtlessly have large amounts of bugs big and small), balance, quality/depth of combat, encounter design and choice and consequence.
The best he can say is that he had a good time with it. Which is unsurprising, given that he uses 'ploughing' in everyday speech.
That's normal, Jeff hates games.
Other thread was dead.

plot twist...
Alot of 9's and a 10. I don't see the issue here at all.
Genuinely shook. Preorders cancelled.

This game was hyped to oblivion and beyond.
I expected reviews like The Last of Us
This does look like reviews from The Last of Us to me. 9's and 10's across the board.

Whoa, these review are catching me offguard. I did not see this coming, and this is now on my radar as a sure buy. Will wait for the initial impressions here on GAF of course, and the almost guaranteed week 1 patch.

Wait, no Xbox review copies? But it's advertised with Xbox lol
Can we expect some reviewers to boost scores if Xbox performs better? Or will 900p cancel that out?
Also, if this was reviewed with the patch... will PS4 receive another one or are we stuck with the framerate?

Of the reviews that noted it, yes, its with the patch on debug systems.
I want to hear more about what he thinks about it.
He gave Twilight Princess an 8.8. AN EIGHT-POINT-EIGHT.
It's possible that several of the PoE reviewers didn't encounter any bugs. I put over 50 hours into the game during the week following release, and I didn't encounter a single issue.
Also, I think that ploughing thing was a joke.

So now I'm wondering if I totally misjudged this series. I played about an hour of the first Witcher game and got bored. Never tried the second game...
There's a questionnaire type section that will let you tell the game of past choices.
if only Chie was in it.

Jeff has never really liked The Witcher as far as I recall. Love that man but he's weird sometimes.
