I dont know I thought The Witcher 3 was pretty amazing for RPG games lately. I agree as an overall generalization though 100%.
It's like the old school final fantasy games, or even Zelda the Orcana of time such an amazing game, and this one that I can never remember the name of it, I believe it was for Super Nintendo, kinda similar but you went all over time trying to figure shit out and I think in the end it was revealed you were the bad guy.... Golden Sun, that was it. What a fuckin game.
