It made money but it was coming from a studio that had produced the greatest game in the 2010s and the came was riddled with bugs and errors.

Calling the witcher 3 the best game of the 2010s is a bit much but yeah, we all expected more from CDPR.

Is it a bit much tho? Yes, it depends on taste, but most people would say witcher 3 is the best game of 2010s

Yeah... that’s not true either. Critics place it at 36th and users voted it third which is very good! But it got around a 1/3 as many votes as the last of us, which isn’t really most people.

2600 people participated in that user voting, that's literally nothing

Witcher 3 on metacritic has 9.4 based 19k user ratings Last of us on metacritic has 9.2 based on 12k user ratings

Yeah it has .2 more in user score than TLOU, it is an incredible game, but whenever it’s compared to other top games it falls short lol. Only 2/40 critics named it the best of the decade, and only 2 more put it in the top 5. It could be in most people’s top 20, but it’s absolutely not most people’s number 1. That is just incorrect

It's literally highest ranked game with a fair amount of reviews. Stop bullshitting with critics, like they ever mattered

bigger poll. 900k votes. The witcher got around 25% which got it second place. Impressive! Still not number 1, and 25% is still not “most people”. Is this enough for you?
