Mid-to high 80's, most likely. It has combat and design that doesn't reflect most of the genre; this will likely not play to its advantage with most reviewers since they are deathly afraid of deviating from the old path.

89 Meta is my guess, and I suspect it will get the most GOTY this year.

And glad you got this thread Shika!!

Good point. Plus after playing bloodborne it will be difficult for me to adjust. But still it will be enjoyable.

From what IGN said, the combat is improved from Witcher 2. And Witcher 2 got an 88 meta.

witcher 2 had fine gameplay. hope they didnt "improved" it the wrong way

Sounds like positive improvements to me. Combat animations are much smoother, signs and alchemy are much more useful than they were in Witcher 2, there are now two different variants of each sign, there are now different armor types (similar to other RPG's) that are useful for different skill builds, the crossbow has been added which is useful for fighting certain monsters, especially when underwater. The only gameplay change I'm unsure of is the limit on skill slots, you can only have 12 different skills equiiped at once. I'll have to see how that works out for myself, hopefully 12 slots isn't too limiting.

Big game changer is you dont have to medidate to use potions in witcher 3.
