@michellebennet: A friend of mine was claiming something similar based on playing it at E3, boasting that it was better than God of War (and therefore, was going to have a higher score than its 94 on metacritic. But then again, he's strongly opinionated, trying to convince everyone that his opinion is objectively true. Seeing through his opinion and seeing these reviews makes me think this'll be a solid fun game while it lasts, but not a sole reason to buy a PS4.

@Keaze_: I think the Witcher 3 is probably an exception when it came to side missions. It had some of the best side missions of any game I've played. Glad someone else noticed that, even it's 'most' of it.

Great story and quite inspiring. Wish I were 10 years younger! hah. Although, I do think the translations of The Witcher books are a bit of a rough read through, though I enjoyed them. I wonder if they were an easier read if you were fluent in Polish or if it's just the nature of Sapkowski's writing.

Did they at least add a Platinum trophy to this version?? If not, might as well not have trophies at all in this game.

Everyone I know, loved it. I just had a difficult getting into it coming off of playing the Witcher 3 that year. It was a decent experience, but not to the level that my friends were hyping up about it. I went on to play Fallout 3 afterwards, and found I enjoyed that one better.

@fanboyman: Haha. true true. I've apparently lived with my own definition. I'm just thinking of a scenario in which people get hyped for something to come out, and so everyone buys it (large sales) the first weekend, before word of mouth can spread, but then most of the people that bought it dislike it and it ends up flooding the Pre-Owned Shelves. I'm not thinking of any game in particular, but think the number of sales may be misleading.

@PrpleTrtleBuBum: I mean 'memorable' in a good way - whether 'iconic' or associating good feelings and fond memories with an actor's portrayal of a character. Everyone certainly remembers Arnold's Mr. Freeze, but mostly for the campiness and cringe-worthy dialogue/one-liners.

@mcnichoj: Ah. Got it. Makes sense I supposed. It's just when I think of a 'hit' I think of quality first, which is sometimes followed by great sales (sometimes not).

Arc Systems nailed it with Dragon Ball FighterZ, and I had trouble getting into the mechanics of the other franchises within this game. I went ahead and got it and still feel it's a step back from DBF.

I wouldn't call the Infamous, Killzone, and SFV games hits.... the former two were less than their predecessor's and were basically launch titles for the PS4. And the latter, Street Fighter V, took two years to get to launch quality and would live more up to it's 'hit' category.
