Over 35 years of gaming as well, but I don't think Witcher 3 deserves the top spot, not by a long shot. There are some great stuff in it, but as an open world it fails on so many accounts, and even in RPG genre there are at least half a dozen titles better then it (as open-world games). I'm not surprised though, a lot of mainstream gamers played it and like it, but if we're being honest, game would be better if it sticked to TW2 formula instead of going open-world. |
I will say that it probably benefitted quite a bit from the recency effect. And, I agree that it is not the greatest game ever. But, among modern open world games, I think it was the least buggy*, by a mile. That factored heavily into my ranking it first. It also had a ton of content. I'd say it was equal to two average open world games in that sense. This also factored heavily into my ranking.
*There was an early patch that resulted in some bugs. But, those were fairly promptly patched out. At launch it was in great shape, and it was in great shape when I last played it a few months ago, and pretty much its whole life, aside from a week or two.
