You definitely won't get a picture of the scope of the game until you finished the first 3-5 hours or so. Give it a chance, and play it on hard or better deathmarch difficulty. It's so much better than TW2 that it's kind of unbelieveable how they could do that in such a short amount of time. |
Yet, I find TW2 to be better game - being more linear, it was way more focused and detailed. TW3 is too big for it's own good, lacks so many mechanisms that games 15 years before it had and being locked to one fairly predefined character (cause that's what Geralt is, no matter how many options you have) is never really beneficial for open world RPGs - I really wish for CDPR to do more generic D&D-esque game with the same engine, I honestly think it would be much better open-world experience.
But that said, making open-world action WRPG with good mechanisms and story is way, way more difficult. I love Gothics and Morrowind, but none of them comes close to something like Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines which, due to being quite linear, is much better in RPG mechanisms and story telling...not to mention best CRPGs that are vastly superior to them.
Oh, and for people bashing combat in Witcher 3 and then praising Souls - really? I mean really? I like Souls quite a bit, finished all 4 of them, but sorry, their combat is mediocre at best. As much as I don't like many things in TW3, combat is definitely not one of them - it's quite functional and satisfactory once you get to know how to properly combine signs, sword and bombs.
