Witcher 3 Reviews Go Live A Week Before Release

I know the link is to reddit, but it is a composite list of all the reviews so far. note that it's on the witcher subreddit, so the comments are all going to be in favor of the game, but to be fair the game has received nothing but glowing reviews (The current metacritic score from critics is a 92 - matching bloodbourne for highest score of this console generation that isn't a re-release)

 

Personally I'm happy that CDPR have been clearly so confident in their game that they're opening reviews up THIS early. reviewers got the game almost two weeks ago, and Van Ord at gamespot (which gave the game a 10/10, the third perfect score from gamespot in over four years the last two being bayonetta 2 and Mario Galaxy 2) said he has put in about 100 hours into reviewing the game.

 

I'm one of those people that's hyped to hell for this game, so seeing these reviews to me is just some level of justification for my excitement.

I'm linking to a list of reviews themselves, that was more of just an announcement that they would be coming  soon.

I like roche a whole lot more than iorveth, but to be honest iorveth's path is more fun.

how much do you have left?

[Lawliet93]

There it is, definitely one of the best RPGs of all times. Finished the first and the second game, both several times and I can clearly say, both are RPGs, that everyone should have played.

Right, my bad.

I also liked Roche but Iorweth is more cool. Both seem like an assholes though.

I was trying to be neutral when playing Roches path but now when I play Iorweths patch I am playing it like a Witcher scumbag. I wonder what ending I will get

you know a games good when the devs are open about it before release

I watched 3 video reviews and it looks like there are FPS problems on PS4. They mentioned it in every review I watched. Frames dips bellow 30FPS very often. CD Project says they will resolve it by Day1 patch.

I have to do reverse of this.

just warning ya, witcher 1 is painful to play if you're not invested in the story.

witcher 1 combat is pretty terrible, some mmo's have better combat

I am not interested in any of those "reviews" from the typical bunch of bought motherfuckers calling themselves the gaming press. Let's wait out for streamers and youtubers to take on it.

Jessie Cox as incredibly enthusiastic about it, although it was only initial impressions due to him only completing 10 or so hours at the CDPR event.

It's not that bad. The weakest part is the first chapter.

Yes but it wasn't a review yet. But that's the kind of persons I want to hear point btw.

I'm of the same mind. I'm not trusting any reviews written by diehard fans of the series. Plus, the game will probably be 25 dollars in a couple months.

 

The Witcher 3 needs to have a lot more polish (no pun intended) than 1 and 2, now that CDPR are more experienced and seasoned. The clunky feel of 1 and 2 needs to be gone, and the combat could use a tweak here and there compared to 2, especially the UI.

GOG has Witcher 1 and 2 super cheap

I've played it twice (I needed the two different saves so I could have save I wanted for Witcher 2) and to be honest, it doesn't get much better. chapter 2 was pretty poor, chapter 4 was all right in the sense that the story was best there.

Now if only they let the game go live on steam a few days early

[carolkarine]

Now if only they let the game go live on steam a few days early

they won't. people who pre-ordered the physical version (as well as all physical retailers) would crucify them. (trust me, I want it too) but this game isn't a digital-only release, so in order to be fair they've got to release it may 19th.

I got witcher 2 for half the gog price last week on steam
