I find this thread to be full of shit.
well, I didn't even like the last game, thought it was way overrated, boring story, shitty combat mechanics, so I wouldn't be surprised if the latest game is overblown, if the Witcher 2 was released on all platforms at once we wouldn't have had to rely on hermits praising it to high heaven as their graphics king, if it releases on all systems at once I think people will call bullshit where it's deserved, and I'm sure PC gamers will blame consoles in the end
What is the "bullshit" at point? It is confusing. There's no discreet "this is why they are bullshit." Playing into trends? Gamers rave about Witcher because there's still an ounce of gameplay there. If the topic is suggesting that the game has become a "console game" well the truth is both formats--consoles and pc--have taken aspects from one another since the beginning.
What do I make of it? I think that the Witcher 2 became so popular as a brand of sorts that perhaps Witcher 3 was structurally changed to work on all the popular formats available.
I kind of understand what's going on here. Everybody tends to think CDPR are the elite PC centric game makers that can do no wrong. It's automatically being hailed as the best graphics game because it's PC centric. It's a beautiful looking game and I'm sure it will be fantastic to play, but I do kind of understand this point of view. They have this image of "unstoppable PC devs" that the average bunter will automatically assume their games are the best graphics. I mean, TW2 was hailed as a graphics king for the time just because it was a PC exclusive. When it really wasn't. It had a nice art style and good textures.
Any way, they do make good games though.
My friend, the problem doesn't lay in the graphics. Very much like Crysis 2 or Crysis 3, The Witcher 2, is a console game. All the graphics in the world wont change that.
These, modern pc gamers, they seem to be under some sort of spell that it is a CRPG of the old guard. Quick time events? Wall cover stealth sections? Fable style combat system?
Shockingly, as a third party onlooker, I see yet again, the "master-race" hyping. Boasting.
Almost all the PR has been CDP insulting, and then aspiring to be Skyrim. Not just aspiring, boasting, about being bigger and better. Changing the entire nature of the game to a sandbox environment.
It's incredibly sad that these modern pc gamers have no idea what a PC RPG is.
Shockingly so. I'm shocked.
Don't be shocked.... The same fools were claming Mass Effect 2 was an RPG and a good one.. when it was a console centric shooter.... The Witcher 1 was a PC Centric RPG..... and an exclusive at that. I have 3 copies of it. A original red box US version, the Gog US version, and an Imported UK version black box with 3 discs a guide, map and art book. The witcher 2 was not a pc centric rpg at all. It took direction from console games. While still a good game, I was expecting more of the stuff I loved about the witcher 1.
Then we have them lying to people and saying they won't take sides yet they SOLD OUT to the devil Microsoft! Giving them more shit in the box and going on their stage. I bet the game will get the AC:unity "PARITY" as well.
According to everyone, Planescape Torment is better.
I will agree with you there...add on Baldur's gate, Vampire the Masquarade: bloodlines, BG2, Fallout 1 and 2, and hell 20 years we can throw Ultima 7 on there as well.
But your thought about rather playing wow...... the most overrated crap trendy mmo ever... no thank you. I played just about every mmo from that time period except wow. Could never get into the limited classes, the limited character creator, the ugly as hell graphics...
That being said. I will still buy the witcher 3 as I love the character, the story and lore. It may not be an old school rpg and play like a console game...... So I will buy this version on the PS4, even though my witcher 1 and 2 is on PC. I've made it a habit to not play controller based console style games on the PC...

sold out to microsoft? so then witcher 3 is an xbox one exclusive or timed exclusive with extra content?
Because last i checked the steam/GOG versions have the better deal. To say they "sold out" because they were promoting a console version on microsoft's conference is abit childish
@scottpsfan14: f ucking thank you for saying that. It's so blatantly obvious it's in lower settings.
Yeah thats why I said obviously. But they were acting like thats what the game looks like normally.
Well the thing is it's an official screenshot representing the game. Why would they show a screenshot of the game at low graphic settings? This might very well be an Xbone screenshot.
