The Witcher 3

Now that's praise!

"One of the best role-playing games ever crafted, a titan among giants and the standard-setter for all such games going forward."

Can't say anything against that, it's an understandable decision.
However, my inner graphics whore is slightly disappointed

Still looks nice tho!

It's a testament to how this game looks in the marketing materials that I've pre-ordered it, as I couldn't get into either of the first two. I do have a habit of jumping in and out of trilogies though (I didn't like Mass Effect 1 but loved the sequel, 3 not so much). I hope this one is more accessible from the start, looking forward to trying it out next week

Meanwhile, polygon is concerned about the lack of ethnic diversity in a game about slavic mythology

Polygon can suck a dick.

Average day: "Who cares about Polygon"

Social issues brought up in big game review: "Polygon, of all prestigious outlets, said WHAT?!"

The irony is how ethnocentric Polygon themself are by writing such a hogwash. For them only American history, culture and values exist (at least those they deem worthy within their own political mindset) and must be stamped on the whole rest of the world. They are completely oblivious to the fact that even 25 year after the fall of the iron curtain it's still a pretty big deal and not very common at all that a Polish developer can tell a Polish story to an international audience.

Who does the CGI anyway because they are always top notch. Is it in house? I especially like the intro of the first Witcher.

(Ignoring the fact that he only acknowledged the lack of ethnic minorities in a single paragraph out of 25 in the review ) This is a review, and the reviewer, who is American, found it odd to find no ethnic minorities.

This is literally what a review is for. He's looking at the game from his (very American) point of view. He found it odd that there were no ethnic minorities, so he wrote that. He never said that it wasn't really cool for such a Polish game to be made on the scale it was.

This is a game with goddamn elves and gnomes, why is it so impossible for non-white people to exist?
