Wonder how long his beard can grow. I'm not gonna shave it off from now on

The controller isn't better.

Is it a desktop? I don't see the appeal of those unless you need OSX professionally. I don't find the operating system to be easier in any way, except maybe not needing a separate "uninstall" panel (you just delete apps like on a phone) and otherwise in some ways Windows is simpler.

The Witcher 2 worked better with a mouse and keyboard, espcailly with menus. Even the basic act of "turning" is botched in the Witcher 3.

It's frankly, a travesty of the pc, graphics is the least of it's problems.

I think you mean a joypad? No. I bought it for the pc, it was a pc franchise, it was advertized as having mouse and keyboard controls.

No "well just", no.

Oh please, those people have a bad case of nostalgia googles. Witcher 2 looks nice overall because it had good aesthetics and some nice stuff, but even when it released it had many dated graphical features. Witcher 2 has some of the worst shadow dithering issues in a game, an abysmal SSAO implementation, slathered on way too much low quality post processing, terrible quality bloom where if you angled the camera just right Geralts face would just turn into a blob of light.

People who think Witcher 2 looks better or comparable to Witcher 3 are probably the same people who still think vanilla Crysis is graphically impressive in 2015. They need to try playing those games again to remember what they actually look like.

Ignorance is bliss I guess. When people are saying Witcher 2 looks better in many aspects, well...that's just kinda lame. I'm not going to harp on it though.

No, people are dissapointed that CDProjekt showed one graphics build, but released the game with another

What difference does it make? None - it's the same difference: people are disappointed with Witcher 3's graphics. People thought they were going to look better than what they were delivered. You're referring to older screenshots that used a better graphics build. The most recent screenshots released reflected the current state of the game's graphics.

- Witcher 2 looked better with each footage and even better with the final game

If you think so. The trailers and pre-release screenshots looked great but when the game released, many people (including myself) were laughing at the animations and NPC detail quality. Very poor.

- You need glasses

If my vision was blurrier, wouldn't that mean lower-detail objects would appear equivalent to higher detailed objects? Maybe I'm not the one who need glasses. If your vision is blurry and there's no low-detail elements that pop out to you, that's fine. The low-quality elements of this game's GFX stick out to me like a sore thumb - and have long before launch.

I'm not sure how I can objectively wrong about something that's subjective. I just think the animations look blatantly clunky and many elements of the graphics look dated. If you disagree, that's fine. I'm sure the game's fine, but if the game wasn't ugly or disappointing - nobody would really be pointing out downgrades from the earlier builds in the first place. There are parts of the game that look great, but as a whole, visually, it's a little weak for a 2015 title. Often good graphics are enough alone to convince me to pick up titles. Especially considering I'd like to "benchmark" the beauty of my new monitor - but Witcher 3 never really convinced me.

Don't want to slight the game though...sure it's great. Just not my taste.
