I usually prefer 3rd person POV, so I'm not sure I can handle 200 hours of 1st person, but I will most certainly be giving it a go, as it looks fantastic.
That being said: I'm somewhat surprised about the hype. The game is years away from release, and even the mainstream media can't stop going on about how it'll blow every other game out of the water.
Well, one might say mainstream media are like puppets in that way. Most people tend to fall into the same sort of pattern.
People are rarely comfortable speaking against the grain - and those that are, tend to overdo it, I find.
So, I'm not exactly shocked to see the hivemind at work in this way - and, thankfully, it's not for something that's not at least partially deserving of it.
I mean, it's not Avatar - that's for certain
But there's no denying the video in question looks great - I just don't think there's much sense or benefit in blowing it out of proportion so long before release.
Well, of course it will help CDPR - but that's about it, as fans risk setting themselves up for quite the disappointment.
That said, I'm very unsure when this is going to come out. Didn't I recently hear it was playable from start to finish? Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's close to release - but it does mean most of the content is probably in place.
Based on the video, I'd say the gameplay is pretty solid already. Not entirely polished - and I'm sure they have stuff to figure out.
So, unless they have some special process where they go overboard with the iteration - like Blizzard - I could see it releasing at the end of 2019.
