That reminds me of this old joke that consoles have a blurry movies instead of games.
Drake is climbing on the porch
To play his soapy [blurry] game
Woe is me! - he scrunched his face
There are no games, only the movies.

There, another two who have managed to miss Witcher 3 for five years since release and 25 mln copies sold.

+1. When I first heard about the series and saw that it was about a magic swordsman with white hair and amnesia, I dismissed it as the poor man's Final Fantasy.
Funny, I once tried to read up on Wikipedia what Final Fantasy is about. I couldn't make any sense of it and just decided it's some unknowable jap logic like with some endless anime series.

The question for me is, are modern action RPGs even comprehensible by audience which has not tried Witcher 3. It's the next step in the evolution of Action RPGs after Skyrim.

Neither good fps nor good rpg, not even a GTA clone.
But it will be good (at least what fans of the genre consider good) interactive movie, and thus, it will be a success. Didn't Twitcher 3 teach you anything?

I'll almost certainly buy it, but the inclusion of levelled bullet sponge enemies, scaling loot, level gated items, "street cred" gating weapon purchases are major turn offs for me.

Speaking of street cred, what on earth are they smoking with that? Purchases are usually gated by how much money you can give the vendor, not that+ how badass you are. Really bad system.

It's going to be a good interactive movie. Saying anything more is overhyping it. Make your decisions with that knowledge, mate.

Skyrim and Fallout 3/NV were the reason why I didn't even look at The Witcher 3. I don't have enough time to roam around an open world like that anymore ;)! I hope that Cyberpunk is a little more constrained and deeper, like e.g. Bloodlines...
