I couldn’t get into The Witcher 3. Played it for a couple of hours and found it so boring with terrible controls, but I seem to be alone in this opinion given all the reviews.

I’ve just started the epilogue for RDR2, been loving it. It’s the first game in years I’ve played all the way through without getting bored.

Re the controls, I know what you mean, at first I hated them. You soon get used to it though.

At last, someone else who didn't really get into Witcher !!!

I've tried it and struggled.

Tried it again recently and I'm still not really feeling it.
I'll wait until I upgrade my console before I get Red Dead.

I’m running it on a first gen PS4 and it handles it without any issues at all. The fans work overtime though!

The "tracking" interface slows the game down too much and there are random events that kill you.
I can understand a new, inexperienced player (a noob) thinking it's fantastic but I've played much better games than this.
To a newish gamer it is spelt noob, but for some one who's played years and attended lan events up and down the country, it is actually spelt nub ;)

Been playing this for the last day and a half. Great game. Not really sure what the issues people are having with the controls though.

SOLD IT TODAY!

Managed to get enough for it to buy Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Oh happy day.

I will never buy another Rockstar game again.

Of course you won't :roll:
I used to keep saying I wouldn't by the latest incarnation of GTA but I buy it everytime.

My teenage lad doesn't understand why you've had such issues, he's got it and loving it.
I think my 59 yr old mum has got it too, which would explain why I haven't heard much from her lately so I'm guessing she's doing fine with it.

Absolutely fantastic game. The controls aren’t even that hard to master either and the system handles it just fine ( Xbox )
