Yeah I don't really follow gamespot or ign so that's why I was asking.

I may be mistaken, but I vaguely remember back when the MMO Anarchy Online came out, at release, they gave it a 10/10 (it *might* have been 9/10) and that is when I finally woke up and realised ALL mainstream gaming sites are just complete bullshit. And thankfully I found the codex <3

Strange there's no real talk in the 'dex about this gem. Like it or leave it, it is hands down best storyfaggy game since Planescape: Torment which sets a cornerstone for future RPGs, action adventure games and open-world games alike, with quest design alone.

I had more fun with this than any RPG in like 10 years.
What fucking quest design? You mean follow the fucking witcher sense, press E on red glowing shit, watch cutscene , choose one of two dialogue options?

Writting in most of tw3 quests is pretty great but design is fucking atrocious.

Yep, if you could fail those tracking the monsters sections with consequences I would be impressed with the quest design but right now the Witcha detective mode is just a fancy way of doing quest arrows.

As a side note, screw minimum requirements. I've got tw3 running on my old i7 Intel hd4000 laptop with a measly 4gb of ram. Choppy as hell, but it means I don't have to upgrade to play it.
:dance:
Update:
Eventually I got Novigrad and everything fell apart. Invisible buildings, massive texture clipping, tremendous lag... It was just too much for my aging laptop. Had to take it out back and put a bullet in it.

Runs great on my new desktop gaming rig tho.
:greatjob:
