Playing Witcher 2 on a high end PC it looks terrible

1. Bigger screen, but less game real estate in your vision. A great monitor will give you more of the game in your FoV. :) I guess it's great for the mental idea of "ooh bigger" though.

2. FPS = King. Giving that up as well as playing on medium/low just so you can use a " teh Big TV" from far away, but hey console is all about sacrifices.

2. People actually can notice the graphical differences for a majority of multiplats this gen. W3 is even moreso than those, since CDP go the extra mile for PC. I'm assuming why some peoplecan't is either bad eye sight or just flat out console fanboyism.

looks pretty good to me

I disagree.. it looks GREAT!

Damn, this 4 years old PC game is still making people butthurt. Technically it may not be superior than modern games but its visuals and clever art still makes it one helluva looker. The game will age well. They should've kept same art style for Witcher 3 (dark and realistic). Shame that they went with more colorful art to appeal to the masses. Still looks great though.

This is one of the dumbest posts I have ever read.

The Witcher 2 looks fine, the larger issue is that the actual gameplay is lousy.

I can say the same thing about consoles.

PS4 games look like dogs' dinner on my 4k TV...

Blurry an jaggy mess.....

@nyadc: lol somtimes i smoke and rush my post . You claim 20ms lag is a big con. Im simply sayin that its such a small con that if your a talented gamer it wuddnt phase you. Hell some prolly might think 1ms lag is to fast. Simliar how some ppl like low aiming sensitivity. Understand now ? IF A 19MS DIFFERENCE TURNS YOU OFF TO THE POINT OF NOT WANTING TO PLAY THEN I DONT CONSIDER YOU A HARDCORE GAMER.DO YOU GET IT NOW ?

Obviously a flame-bait thread. TW2 was one of the best-looking games in 2011. But it's been 4 years since then, so it's unrealistic to compare it to today's best-looking games... But you can always use mods to bring the graphics up-to-date.

It's funny, the OP says Witcher2 looks super bad yet can't notice the difference between PC/Console version of multiplats or 30-60 fps.

Much selective eyes.

Flame bait? I started a thread saying W2 looks dated who am I supposedly baiting with that? PC gamers? Well that would be weird I've been a PC gamer for many years so I would be baiting myself. Not my fault people got all butthurt for reasons I absolutely can not fathom and telling me you think I'm wrong is fine and dandy but posting flame bait or calling me a troll (which many people have) is just weird.

I suppose daring to say something on my PC didn't meet my expectations makes me some kind of traitor or console fanboy I don't know WTF is up with these people tbh.

Also asking for specs my PC just about meets rec specs for W3 but if any of these people had a clue about PC gaming they would know a moderately powerful PC can easily run W2 in 1440p at max ultra settings I wonder how many of them even have a fucking PC. Ditto asking for screens when people have already posted them saying they look great. The shots wouldn't look any different if I posted them but it's not the same as walking around in and playing the game. TO ME it looks dated and just kind of odd specially as I remember it as the best looking PC game when it first came out.

Sorry this isn't all directed at you Jag85 I'm just a bit pissed off at all the abuse I've received just for sharing an opinion I must remember never to post anything about any PC game other than unbridled praise lest I upset the arrogant, insulting, elitist master race fuckwits and have them all throwing their toys out of their prams again.

Who says I can't notice the difference between PC and console version of multiplats? You? How the **** would you know what I can and can't see?

@Jag85: Maybe that's how much it looks good as still being compared at '15.

.. You didn't say the game looked dated, you said the game looked terrible.. And in system wars.. You must be dumb or incredibly naive to think that this was anything but a flamebait.. No one would argue that the game looks dated in some areas, obviously.. The game released years ago... You know what you were doing, don't act innocent.

I was shocked at how it looked returning to it and said it looked terrible I later admitted that was an exaggeration. Read the thread before replying next time not just the opening post, you will look less dumb and naive, thanks.

......... We aren't just talking about the opening post, we are talking about your topic title.. Yet again this being systemwars with things like this going on all the time, you can't be surprised the response you got..

Do you even know what you are saying? Do you even know what gameboy graphics look like? Why are people so casually is spewing such utter nonsense. Its mental cancer.

Clearly a fakeboy, says witcher 2 on ultra at 1440p looks bad and then proceeds to praise dragon age on ps4? rofl.

Hell I would more say that Witcher 2's gameplay make Order 1886's gameplay look like a gameboy game in overall depth. But that would be cruel to lower the great gameboy games to that level..

Very true, don't do the gameboy that. Its graphics suck but the gameplay was quite serviceable.

Hahaha

Graphically DAI on ALL current gen platforms pisses all over Witcher 2. If you say otherwise, you're lying and you know you are, simple as that. Witcher 3 will in turn piss all over that too, but this thread is discussing Witcher 2.

It looks a bit dated in some areas, but it's far from terrible looking.

Whilst not terrible, i personally think The Witcher 2 doesn't look great compared to modern games even on console. Character models have improved a hell of a lot (they always looked a bit plastic-y in the Witcher imo), lighting and reflections are getting insane and environments are already more complex, never mind some of the physics improvements like how we finally have somewhat realistic cloth animations.

It's quite sad that instead of this being a celebration of graphics moving forward in video games it's instead a thread filled with people trying to justify the purchase of PC hardware they bought 4 years ago.

Amen to that :)

But Loosingends said the next gen lighting on the water and leaves are beyond most next gen games. Then again, he did say the 360 version is better than PC on ultra.

You're right, it is restrictive. But isn't that the whole principle of standards? Once you raise the bar there's no turning back. Once you eat kobe beef everything else (like, normal food) tastes like shit, that sort of thing.

You are clearly a fakeboy

Witcher 2 ultra and 1440p > DA: I on ps4, this is not subjective, it is fact. Keep posting bs.
