@slappy54: Except for the one GOTY that actually mattered. Fallout 4 won the Academy Award equivalent while The Witcher took home the Blockbuster and MTV awards.
@kyelo: Yeah the world in The Witcher certainly felt 'organic and real' I loved the way you could interact with the environment and move stuff around...oh wait.
@shadedwraithx: Both Ubisoft and Bethesda fix their games, its not 'left' to modders as people like to get on their high horse and claim. In terms of Bethesda, a huge amount of problems that their games have is because of the freedom that they allow the community to play around with their engine, for the most part its the players or modders themselves that have caused an issue yet you never ever hear or see some sweaty angry red faced overly large nerd jump on the forums and say "**** you Bethesda, I installed 27 untested mods including a Thomas the Tank Engine mod that lights squirrels on fire with laser beams from his fucking eyes and now I have a broken game I paid for! **** you, now modders have to fix my game as usual, I'm so fucking mad I'm never going to buy one of your games again because I am stupid and installed shit in my game that I shouldn't have."
Now please, regale me with tales of how exactly that is Bethesda's fault, I have played all of their games with not nearly as many issues as I see people claim.
As for Ubisoft, its not modding nor is it modders fixing their game like you're trying to claim. I think at times rushed game development is their biggest problem although in general their games aren't too bad at all. AC Unity was their worst but right now it runs absolutely fine and is quite a good game or certainly better than it was. Ubisoft fixed it not modders.
@TigusVidiks: Yes but Witcher fanboys believe the game was perfect and that it didn't have any bugs, the sheer amount of fixes to their game completely counter their fanaticism. Even now there are bugs that halt progress, the Assassination of King Radovid quest line took me 14 reloaded saves and half a day to get through it, hoping that the next time the NPCs were responsive and I could finish the quest. Try reading the comment I was replying to before attempting to call someone an idiot, idiot. There is little point getting upset and angry because I'll only laugh at you to be perfectly honest.
@dexda: "I didn't feel at ANY point during The Witcher that I'd been here before or repeating myself.", lol wow those fangoggles are firmly stuck on your head.
You must have missed the repetitive monster nests, the repetitive bandit camps that miraculously had the exact same bandits in every one of them, the repetitive find a note and swim to the lost treasure quests, those subquests alone were repeated over and over and over throughout the entire world with absolutely nothing of interest in between those markers. The contract quests were literally the same quests, over and over. Talk to NPC, go to location, use witcher vision, find footprint, follow footprints, find monster, kill it using the exact same shallow combat moves. All of those quests were set in the exact same 3 world environments, a forest, a swamp, some mountains that looked identical no matter where you were. I must have played a different game if you thought that The Witcher 3 wasn't insanely repetitive.
