If the colors were different, it might look a lot more like the old screenshot.

watching this potato german streming , what to say...the wind is strong in this game  :mrgreen:.
graphics seems ok (ultra) , can't tell for gameplay cause he's exploring stuff and potato dialogue.

*edit : grass is still shit , visual is improved in distance , ui seems nice and easy to use , water is meh , dialogues in potato languages are good , color contrast seems a bit high , model textures are quite good.

How dare you compare a champion of the PC Master Race like CDPR with console loving Ubisoft???
Let's see...

Ubisoft:
  • WatchDogs: Fucked up cuz unplayable till patch 5
  • FarCry 4: Fucked up cuz unplayable till patch 4, 5 broke it again, 6 works
  • Assassin's Creed Unity: Fucked up, still barely playable, never fixed really

CDProject:
  • Witcher 1: good overall
  • Witcher 2: good overall

Yea, now I see it. They're like twins really.  :rolleyes:

[...] People sponsored it as one of (if not THE) best rpg game (despite having seen only 2 ganeplay videos)
[...] Not to mention that every single test I've read, they all say it's one of the best RPGs ever made. [...]

Edit: Just found this...
Guess Teeth can safely assume that it will run for him. Seems to be very well optimized.

lol they did 3 games and the first ones were not good overall especially for the clumsy combat system, but maybe you "read some test" that said they were good so they have to be (lol)

as for the optymization, no, it's not well optymized, it's normally optymized because now the game looks just normal (unlike before), so i wouldn't call it a miracle visitors can't see pics , please register or login
  ac unity looks much better. much much better.

also talking about reviews, the ones i read clearly say it's a very nice game overall, but that's it. it's not the masterpiece it was sponsored to be, but it's still a good game, nothing more, nothing less.

All the Witcher games are universally accepted as good. Them not being good is your subjective opinion.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-witcher-enhanced-edition
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings

More important than that, CDPROJEKTRED have been great to the players, making enhanced editions for free, taking out DRM, etc., etc.

As for TW3 reviews

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt

34 so far, average of 92. But don't let the facts get in your way.

Lets face it, metacritic is not the most reliable reviewing site. Most of their reviews are outright bullshit. Not that this says anything abut W3 though. I just expect them to give it high score even if it doesnt deliver what it promised.

AC Unity may look better, but it's certainly not optimised, from what I heard. And the combat in W1 wasn't great, I agree, but combat in W2 with Full Combat Rebalance mod was kinda nice, and I've enjoyed the game I just played the past couple of weeks to prepare my savegame for W3 a whole lot. Even with mediocre combat, the story and the rest of features make up for it by a ton.

... Metacritic is not a "reviewing site", dear. It doesn't do reviews.

Let's explore the word "meta" first, together, you and I:

Quote
a prefix added to the name of a subject and designating another subject that analyzes the original one but at a more abstract, higher level:

Now, what does critic mean?

Quote
a person who judges, evaluates, or criticizes:

When you put these two words together, you get "metacritic." Your first assignment is to find out why there is "meta" in front of "critic" and how it applies to this here situation.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/halo-3

halo 3 has 94

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3

mw 3 has 88



let's put it this way, if witcher 3 was good as witcher 1 and 2 were in their times i'd consider it a big failure tbh. because to me it was certainly not memorable, to ign tho..

as for cdpr being friendly to gamers before, ofc they were (i'd expect a reason for people liking them) but now, now they surely haven't done much for the gamers, more for their wallet (rightly imo), i just don't get this "patriotism" towards them after delays, downgrades, only console build (despite being pc gamers the ones that brought them there) and day 1 patches.

No one was discussing whether the game will "actually be a masterpiece", you were talking about what the reviewers thus far are saying, and so was I. 92 average out of 32 reviews certainly qualifies as "reviews saying it's a masterpiece."

People are largely giving CDPR the benefit of the doubt because of their past. If TW3 is a failure, that probably won't happen again.

No, that's not it. What I'm saying is that it's silly to defend or criticize the exact same bullshit depending on who says it.
I like both Witcher games and I'm sure I will like this one too. I just don't get the "they are right no matter what" attitude.
