The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[darmaster]

so these italian guys tried witcher 3, and honestly there were few bad news; one is the fact that the combat system is still clumsy (as it was for the first 2, i'd have called it shit but whatever); then they said the game is EXTREMELY heavy and you could easily notice it unfortunately ( they were testing it on a  i7-4790 and GeForce GTX 980 4gb, and though they set it to high and not ultra, there were still some framrates drop). hopefully both these will get fixed in the next 3 months, but i hardly believe i'll be able to run it on high settings on my r9 290/fx 8350 + they really should work on the combat system, and make it decent at least for the 3rd one.

Well, unless they are showing an old build, I won't put your hopes up that they will change much in the last three months before the release date. Bugfixes maybe, but combat mechanics is something you don't plan to work on this late. In any case, I found the Witcher 2 combat easily servicable and from an early hands-on it is easy to judge the combat, but you might just be doing it wrong. Wouldn't have described the Witcher 2 combat as clumsy anyhow, it was very smooth and responsive, the mechanics were just a tad bit dull and roll-oriented.

Witcher 3's combat looks like a good enough improvement on TW2's combat.

[darmaster]

Well they specified the offensive phase is rather smooth, the defensive one and the rolls on the other hand..

I hope so. Games nowadays often fail short on this particular area. I played shadow of mordor recently, and although I earlier dismissed it as AC cash in, this game is pretty sweet, especially in the combat department...

I jizzed just now when I watched it. Facial animations look still a bit wooden but the world looks awesome.

Definetly going to play this without the supersenses.

That probably won't work from the looks of it.

For me it looks like with the Witcher senses they try to lead the player by the hand, and it sucks as hints are to obvious. After watching gameplay there are some other things that I dislike, for example there are level requiremnts for swords and another stomach for potions that activates whenever Geralt decides so... Overall I am still excited and can't wait to play it.

Also it's funny but on the witcher forums there is like 30 pages thread about downgrade, people keep posting screenshots from compressed video and compare it to some old trailers. Even if CDPR had to cut some effects and flore textures (most complains are about the grass quality  ) game still looks good, very good I'd say.

For past eight years, CDPR are doing their best to make Witcher more appealing to console audience, to boost sales of the game.

I don't see why not.

Is there any info on fanmade storylines like in the first game?

Seems it is starting to become a trend for games to require insane pc specs while still running like shit. I mean look at Dying light. Lets hope they will fix this.

[Patoson]

Dying Light runs much smoother now, at least in my case, with AMD GPU. Almost 100 constant fps, compared to the 30-60 in the first versions.

I hope Witcher 3 is better optimised too though, or that they can fix it with a patch otherwise.
