In your opinion, you mean. It goes without saying that any particular individual may like a game less or more than the metascore indicates, but you make it sound like your opinion is a fact and everybody else is wrong.
Yeah, that ground isn't good looking.. but that happens in every single open-world game.. I just like those wyverns flying around, those many trees, that one big tree on that mountain, etc. just pure great atmosphere
We should have a quick IMO tag in the options when writing messages. Some posts do come off like that when it's totally opinion based. I ditched Dragon Age Inquisition 1 hour in - maybe less.

Of course it's his opinion. He shouldn't have to write a giant "IMO" before every statement he makes.
So, book readers, I say this is almost certainly Torque, the sylvan of Dol Blathanna. I mean, we already know that Dudu is in the game, so why not Torque, too?
Yep. Ciri's hair is ashen according to the books, whereas Geralt's hair is supposed to be white (lacking pigment) and yeah, there is a strong string of fate between them, not only because the child of surprise thing, but for what they've both chosen through their lives and what they both mean to each other.
Still, Sapkowski continues to play with the ambivalence of an destiny and the ability to choose.
PD: I'll wait to play it by myself, but i still think that making a game with Ciri as MC would be a lot different than what we've been accostumed in the series. That chick is too OP!! (or should be according to the books).
Hey, those PS4 shots look really nice. I especially like the colors and lighting. There's a soft, natural feel to it that is very inviting.
It's one screenshot of him walking downhill where the ground is up close to the camera. That's probably the case for most games, no?

Ciri's ashen hair is inherited, Geralt's white hair is due to his witcher mutations (like an albino)
Their scars are a result of unrelated unfortunate circumstances
From the "The Price of Neutrality" short story:

Nothing like Bloodborne. It's more of a refined TW2 combat system.

How do they have you baffled? They're all between 9 and 10!

Maybe they are baffled at how good they are. I mean those are some pretty monster scores
Hmmm I felt like I was controlling a puppet in TW2 that vaguely did what I wanted...is it a lot of waiting on animations?

I played The Witcher 2 on 360 and I guess I won't be able to transfer my save file to PS4 in any way but is there an option to see what actions I did in The Witcher 2 so I can choose them in The Witcher 3?

Not this time according to the devs. They focused on increasing Geralt's responsiveness and tuning down the long animations.
Hmmm I think I will give it a rent then to try it out... then drop the $60 if Im feeling it.

The PC version falls under the BB GCU and 10 dollar credit too, just to say.

To give y'all an idea of CDPR's post-launch support, from wikipedia for TW2:
Patch 1.1 removed DRM, giving 5-30% performance/load time boost (depending on the versino of the game), as well as activation and registration issues
Patch 1.2 "fixed a large number of issues, addressed broken quest lines, eliminated gameplay balance problems between the main character and his enemies, and improved features like the save game import system that allowed files from The Witcher 1 to be imported."
Patch 1.3 "included a plethora of fan-requested improvements, including difficulty adjustments for the game's Prologue, support for a variety of different aspect ratios, and a host of other gameplay tweaks and fixes. Next to the long list of changes, this update also included free downloadable content a quest called "A Sackful of Fluff"."
Patch 2.0 "added three major features to The Witcher 2: the new Arena gameplay mode, in which players can fight waves of enemies; a new Tutorial system that introduces the player to the game's complex control systems; and a special Dark difficulty mode, which offers greater challenge to players, as well as unique rewards in the form of Dark items. The patch also brought a variety of bug fixes and improvements, including an overhauled targeting system and enhanced parrying."
Patch 3.2 "was released for the Enhanced Edition of The Witcher 2. The user interface was significantly modified by David Block, who originally created this UI modification and now works at CD Projekt RED. The patch also added some optional enhancements."
I believe The Witcher 1 had pretty good post-launch support, as well.

I hope there's no need for an Enhanced Edition this time around.
unlike Witcher 2 where you had to wait for animation to be finished, here you can cancel attack animations.
This is good news. I urge people not to get their hopes up too much expecting ALL framerate issues to be solved, but if they can fix parts here and there that would be fantastic.
It's not but at the same time they had an insane time crunch just to even get close to shipping this giant game, even after the delays. Considering the performance tweaks usually come near the tail end of development this makes sense.
There's one thing I know for sure here. CD Projekt Red supports their games more than anyone else out there. Whether that be extra content or fixing bugs/issues.
Some more great shots:
Good god.
Well, those scores usually average to 94-96. That's why I went to MC.
**cough**
lol
Gorgeous. Just wow.

Like I posted up there a couple big ones like the 9.8 from GT aren't factored. I bet it will settle at 93
Agreed can we calm a bit on some of the screens? Don't want to get spoiled too much
They are not all on Metacritic and Metacritic is not the average, but a weighted average.
Pardon sir...
God damn
holy shit. and its the first post, of course

Haven't seen it mentioned yet in any of the reviews I've glanced at, but has anyone posted impressions on how the game deals with setting up past choices for first time players?

Kind of. The main arc's are pretty easy to follow but the multiple characters all with different goals make it complicated.
Depending on your path, it's possible Triss helped him.
There's a conversation at the beginning where you can choose what happened previously.
Different reviewers scores carry different weights, the bigger sites carry more weight so their score affects the metascore more than a small site.
Sorry, replace an with the.
Good God, these look great. We need a gamersyde footage of the ps4 version.
Exactly. It's the big sites giving the game high review scores, reason why I expected a 94-96 going by OP.

I think better than Witcher 2. They went back and rewrote/rerecorded dialogue among other things. Although, I hear the game was borderline unplayable prior to the Enhanced Edition.
