The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

They look better in motion, don't have any problem with trees. Grass is surprisingly low quality though.

Dynamic weather is pretty damn awesome.

Wind starts blowing, sky darkens and actually looks like you're in a storm. Pretty impressed

Is the graphics downgrade shit made to hide that they havent changed the combat barely at all? Or did they, so far all i see from watching streams is that its basically the same shield-spell spam. Could be very different control wise, not that i really had any issues with 2, but it got boring.

Can't help but think the trees and grass look terrible though.

Yeah grass is awful, but I think the trees look alright...

Been playing like 5 hours. Doing sidequests, watching the cutscenes, catching up on the lore and just messing around. Im practically nowhere in the main questline. Game is good. I wouldnt say its revolutionary. It doesnt do anything that games similar to it havent done before. But it rather combines it all and does it well. Also I kinda get a Gothic series vibe from this game. Anyone else?

Combat is nowhere near Witcher 2 - way more fluid, dynamic and responsive.

Felt the same thing, kind of like how Gothic 3 was better than the first two

What the fuck is with that falling damage?

Is it too much to ask from the allmighty Geralt to roll when he lands? And those falls are like 7 feet long! I can land fine without even rolling from that height!

EDIT: But the combat system is really nice. It seems they took the criticism to their hearts and really put some thought into it. I am really thankful for that. Compared to W2, the combat is considerably better.

The combat is nothing like it was in TW2... and you can't spam spells anymore like in TW2.

Yea, its actually pretty cool that you have to concerve and seriuslly consider when to use what spell. Not spamming them forces you to to be more tactical and careful. I went for medium difficulty and im really feeling the challenge. I never used alchemy or even spells that much in W2. I just went for the "witcher smash all with big sword" playstyle. In this game however im throwing absolutely everything that does anything into average fights and I get mercilessly shat on by random spergs whenever I feel like being lazy and just spamming it.

I like it how the game replies to my attemts of lazyness related spamming with "that shit will not fly". Cause its really not that hard if you try a little.

I'd say this doesn't look that bad

Always better for challenge. By the way, are there any other weapon types, or it boils down to two handed swords again?

It looks great on high, but the vegetation is awful.

He's a witcher - big swords it is.

And true, you can't spam the spells anymore - instead you can spam food for endless healing tho. Granted, it heals over time but it still feels... well... dunno how to put it.

It is hard to imagine someone chugging 5 breads in one minute while flailing their weapon around...
