I wrote my own review of it, although I didn't go into anywhere near as much depth as you did regarding the gameplay, because that wasn't what repulsed me so much.<br /><br />Geralt is simply an awful character to play as. He's not interesting or original, and I really don't care one whit about his story. And the world he inhabits is such a miserable sinkhole that I kept wishing I could play a game somewhere else.<br /><br />Games should be fun. I don't mean that they should be all sunshine and rainbows, but they ought to offer gameplay that is entertaining, or a world that is compelling. Well, The Witcher's gameplay isn't entertaining, and the world it offers up isn't compelling, because the whole attitude and aesthetic of it is just pent-up cynicism and negativity.<br /><br />And much like Dragon Age II, I hated how, despite the supposedly "realistic" medieval setting, everything felt so modern - modern attitudes, modern issues, modern profanity, and so on. It just felt as though The Witcher were trying much too hard to be "gritty" and "realistic" and it simply came across as being juvenile and pathetic.<br /><br /><a href="http://thevictoriangamer.blogspot.ca/2015/05/being-discussion-on-witcher.html#more" rel="nofollow">I write more here.</a>The Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082461456191210978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333855853183872745.post-69022330925429504312012-10-17T07:59:21.652-04:002012-10-17T07:59:21.652-04:00Have to agree with the above poster.
