No question, W3 is a great game. There are aspects of the game that are extraordinary, such as the story, map size, number of side quests, etc and one notably weak area, which is the combat. No game is complete or perfect. I didn't buy the game expecting much and got much more than I thought I was getting. I'm glad the OP had a positive experience with the game, and I wish that I had a similar reaction. However, the only game that I can say moved me was the "the last of us." It's too bad that game wasn't ported to other platforms. To the OP, thanks for sharing your experience.
