I honestly don't get the overwhelming praise for Witcher 3. It was, like, good overall but I had a lot of nits to pick with it that everyone seems to overlook.
I played the first 20h, of which there was a solid 4h where I was not in control of my character, and a lot of immersion breaking bad game design elements (Griffon quest was particularly jarring). So I dropped it and never understood the hype either. CP2077 was yet another reminder that CDPR game design is mid at best.
Who gives a shit? Computer graphics have peaked a long time ago. Anything slapped on top is just the tech industry trying to generate value where there is none.

Oh cool. More manufacturer specific features to lock consumers to Nvidia. Because RTX and DLAA have been soooo good for the gaming industry.

Pity nobody can afford better cards from Nvidia or anybody else anymore then.

It won't matter if someone else makes a better card when features like mega geometry and RTX are only available on Nvidia cards.

Huh. So I won't be playing the Witcher 4. Oh well, I kinda suspect that Witcher 3 was lightning in a bottle that they'll NEVER replicate.

I enjoyed Witcher 2 as well. I only played it once though. I've played witcher 3 several times now.

I only played a few hours, don't really understand the hype. Maybe having read some of the books made me less curious?
