the twist is that several of the points in the meme are about The Witcher 3 specifically. Between that and Cyberpunk I'm not ever trusting anyone about a CDPR game being good again.

Maybe I'm just a fanboy but I'm not seeing much in this list that applies to Witcher at all except maybe the crafting, and the tiddies, but to that point if you're going to dunk on a game for having good graphics then I don't understand you. Same for Cyberpunk. They were both genuinely pretty damn good games that I enjoyed a lot.

CDPR makes amazing graphics and nobody can take that away from them. However, neither game's story hooked me, the gameplay in both felt frustrating and clunky to me, I hated both Geralt and Silverhand (particularly the latter, his nagging was the last straw), I didn't care for any of the supporting cast, every cutscene felt twice as long as it needed to be, the physics in both are hilariously bad, and so on and so forth. And both of these have been shoved at me from all sides, hailed as the best game ever or whatever, and I couldn't stand playing them.

I can understand having different taste. What I don't understand is the weird need people have to whiteknight for popular games when people don't like them for reasons.

I actually agree about both games feeling clunky as fuck to play, and struggling to engage with the stories. I always thought I was insane because everyone tells me how good the Witcher is.
