A bit surprised by his lukewarm reaction to the graphics, when compared to the other previews, all of which that I can remember have praised the visuals. Not that I mind, I think it's healthy when the excitement is occasionally cooled down (not that excitement about graphics needs cooling down lately, but you get my meaning), just that it seems inconsistent with other articles. Oh well, we'll see. Sure, it can be this or that reason about settings or platforms, but as a general rule of thumb I try not to speculate about how a game may end up better, since I think that's a sure path to over-inflated expectations (it's why I don't put much stock in the "this isn't even my final-ultra form" thing, I'm not expecting it to change much beyond small things here and there).
Anyway, caution aside, he seems really excited about the game. He loved the combat (which is encouraging to me), and said that even as a not-RPG-fan he got hooked, and that the need to find Ciri felt convincing, even if he had no prior knowledge of the franchise. Most previews are filled with compliments about almost every aspect of the game, it's fun to read. Biggest wildcard at the moment is visuals. To be continued in April-May!
