Interesting stats

DOing another replay of this game and was looking at the achievements unlocked globally on steam

- just 67% finished the prologue (white orchard)
- just 25% finished the main game
- just 3.5% finished the main game on last difficulty
- just 20% started blood&wine
- just 14% finished blood&wine
- just 21% started hearts of stone
- just 18% finished hearts of stone

I am one of the 67% who finished the prologue … three times … and never got any further either time. Simply could not get into this game much as I tried.

I'm the odd ball then as I finished the game over six times already. I'm still finding new content I missed as well as some is tied to your finished quests, and not marked.

Stats are like that for a lot of games. It's pretty weird. You'll get some achievement that everyone gets like 2 hours into the game and a crazy low percentage of players will have gotten it. Do people not actually play their games?

That's always puzzled me.

It reminds me of the old article stating that 37% of the registered games had never been played.

Considering the sheer size of TW3, I don't find those stats surprising at all. That's about what I would expect tbh.

I just checked Fallout 4 and the stats are very similar.

I finished the game the first play around.

Then finished it and both expansions a second play through.

I just started it up again about 2 weeks ago, but some nice weather came back so enjoying that right now…

Not too surprising for me.

I have many games in my library I have barely touched.
Many reasons, sometimes I get games for free, so I just try them out and if they don't grab me instantly, I rarely return to them in the future. In the case Witcher 3, I enjoyed the game, but it got samey for me after 50-60 hours.

So I stopped.

I enjoyed the Witcher 3 mostly. I played through the main game and about half of one of the expansions before getting burned out.

I experienced the story and gameplay was just so so. As such I don’t see me ever returning to it.

I felt physically ill opening the game towards the end, yes the story/graphics/C&C great, but the game-play….. sooooo boring and repetitive. I really really tried to play the expansions because I wanted to see the story of those, but I just could not.
