    That's a pretty daft comment. A lot of people read reviews especially for games that have just been released and if many people have played them yet, or just to quickly find out min system requirements, OR communicate with people who have played it. As can be seen from the link above people know what they like and were not guided by the reviewer at all nor are they stupid.

    Noticed you just edited your post. Retract the above.

    I don't, the article does sounded fairly biased towards the negative aspects of this game; however, as a game buyer, I like to see both side of the story: The cons and pros of anything. Anyways, I guess that's why they haven't removed the "beta" tag under their logo. hehehe

    This is why metacritic exists! I use it often just in case my 3 favorite reviewers are being overly biased about a game. You'd be amazed when your PC Gamer, GFW, Gamespot, and IGN reviews differ by 50% in review how useful it is to get an aggregate number instead of guessing who just had a bad hangover and who was paid by the publisher.

    The Witcher Metacritic Score is 82%, much closer to what I think it deserves.

    I'm surprise they even gave it 6 considering how negative they are in the review. I think the only pro they mention is the graphic.
