IGN's review:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l46E7Q3UKqI

9/10

it makes note of the day one patch to address some issues

Eurogamer as always looking like the most honest and sensible one of the bunch. The skill tree descriptions look TOO DEEP for the game's own good.

---

huh, reading all the negativity i thought it would be average across the board but i guess the biggest issue are the ton of bugs that dampen the overall experience.

guess i'll wait till everything has been fixed.

It's only 15 hours long

horrible

and doing all the side quests pushes it to 35

geez

---

for comparison, witcher 3 takes about 50 hours to do the main story and double that to finish all the side quests.

---

What the hell haha I thought it was supposed to be like 150

---

they printed the games months ago and ended up pushing back release date, yet people are actually surprised the games on disk are buggy?

early reviews are stupid, hold off buying and wait a week for the post patch reviews.

most reviewers stated they got the planned day one patch so its not that.

ign reviewer said the main story is surprisingly short but he played around 45 hours with still a lot more to do

---

I bought the digital copy (PS4), and I hear it's supposed to start pre-loading sometime today.

even with the bugs, I'm still really looking forward to this.

thats better but damn still

It's going to be one of those games that people love and reviewers love to hate because it's popular right now and that will drive clicks.

---

gonna wait for this game to be patched.

besides, i already got a ton of stuff on my plate... heck this can wait! lol

Regardless of how often modern games get updated, the logistics behind reviewing them in their "absolute definitive state" are just impossible to determine.

speaking of which, gamespot gave it a 7/10

---

iirc, as far as mainstream video game publications go, GS tends be a bit tougher with their reviews.

...at least, in relation to sites like IGN.

---

CE: This is the problem, you guys want games that just rely on length and not content

Also CE: Only 35 hours? Lol

---

I spit at 35 hours!

...but for real, I only care about how well the content is handled, and how full the experience feels.

I bought the Spider-Man: Miles Morales game for $50, and I don't regret my purchase.

ikr I'm literally at 25 total campaign hours on Prey 2017 right now (which I guess is the 3/4 mark) and I still have plenty of side missions to complete and that's in my top 20 for all time. Like how much video gaming do people need as adults with day jobs, responsibilities, etc...

Thank God. Im so sick of these 70+ hour games with so much filler garbage.

---

Game looks amazing and the reviews back that up. CDPR deserves the crazy high sales numbers they will get for this game.

Fucking ResetEra is so triggered they are only allowing a small number of negative reviews to be posted lmao

---

This game took years to develop, was delayed several times, and was talked about by the media, so anything less than 11/10 life changing experience means it sucks and the reviews were paid off. This is a new and original take from me, an enlightened gamer.

And what other games did that happen to?

---

I'll pick it up eventually, but right now it seems like it's buggy enough that it would be best to wait for a patch or two, and maybe a small sale.

Of course it get high score CD Projekt give the game to shill and fanboy to review them.

I heard that a lot of reviewers have had their code for about a month now

while possible, i've read several reviews today and the prevailing theme appears to be a mad scramble to be the first to blitz through the storyline and write a review.

/v/ was trashing on this game non-stop. i hope the game is actually good

Witcher 3 is bloated and meandering.

That is always the case with big releases and one of the reasons why gaming journalism is a joke.

That's weird considering it's less than 60 on PC

Wait does that mean you need 204 GB free to even download it? I notice on PS4 I usually need double the space to download something. Fuck I'd have to delete a lot of games to free up that much space.

they went out of their way to add a seizure-inducing scene in the game

Yup. That's why ACG said he won't be reviewing it. Said it takes him a while to play through not only the plot but side content, and does rigorous exploration and has to capture lots of footage. His reviews take a while to make. He didn't get a code, so doesn't have the time to make a review.

looking at my storage, it looks like it's taking up 102.7GB

---

Cyber FLOP!

---

now it's saying that it's going to be 101.529GB, and that it's taking up 101.9GB in my storage

maybe this is the case of needing double the space to download, and at the end, it'll take up even less space

---

7.8, too much water.

---

it just finished downloading, but it's saying that it's locked until 12/9 9:00pm

101.9GB in the storage, though...

Man I was on the fence, but I'm gonna go digital and preload so I can play at 9 tomorrow night. Way too hyped after reading the reviews!

For the PS4 version.

What about PC?
