Everyone praises it and then I play it and don't like it at all. Things I don't like: graphics & especially combat system. Unfortunately is the combat the core of every RPG, so I can't stand the whole game. |
That is what I refer to as over-hyping. It happens with many games, where peoples expectations for a game cannot possibly be met with any realistic product.
The graphics are somewhat meh, but the atmosphere is awesome (reminds me of the old Kings Field games in fact). I think the combat system is great, but since you were not more specific, I can't comment on it.
Many people would argue that story and atmosphere is the core of an RPG. However, I agree with you that gameplay is very important also. That is why I like The Witcher.
