A very good review, even though you're wrong. ;-)

"I’ve come to regard plot as the stuff that happens when you’re not being allowed to play a game." That is a pearl.

It's funny how 45% of this review is about perceived problems and another 45% is about the graphics, with only about 10% about the most important part, the gameworld, characters and story changing quests, and yet it all comes out about 80% right.

Jesus christ, people have to cry even when you actually give a game higher than 8. There must be a Witcher forum that's on the lookout for every single review that comes up. And what's this nonsense about the Witcher 2 being 40% cheaper? Completely false.

I appreciate where you're coming from, humorguy, but I wanted to be sure to highlight the game's numerous technical issues before explaining why in a game that is otherwise of this quality, they don't matter. I feel that I did that effectively, and it would have been cheating to pretend that those issues don't exist. They had to be properly addressed before they were dismissed, and the review had to remain under a certain length to stand a chance of being read. What's more, I couldn't really discuss the positives in good detail without spoiling plot, because of the way that plot and gameplay converge.
