The MSI 970 is a very nice-looking card that I've had zero issues with and managed a pretty good overclock out of with very little effort.

I like my Geralt with stubble, not a beard, so I visit the barber in Oxenfurt every few in-game days for a shave. It's pretty great.

If Oxenfurt is in, does this mean Shani is going to be in the game?

Are the DLC's just $3.95 "Here is a new woman with completely unique animations for an all new sex scene?" Because I would hope the game offers a semen pass then so I can grab them all on the cheap.

We've said we're not charging for most of the DLC, so like, we have quests and perks and costumes and stuff, and all that will be free. Major expansions, if we have them, will be for purchase. I don't think there's a "season pass" thing, but I could be wrong, marketing is a mystery to me.

So disappointing that Toussaint isn't in. It's like the most non-witcher place in the witcher series, which makes it hilarious when Geralt goes there. Would have been a nice change of pace as a borderline cartoony backdrop of knights who are overly obsessed with honor and ridiculous gimmicks. Plus Fringilla Vigo was one of my favorite characters. I mean they could easily have her somewhere else, but I assumed she would be hiding in Toussaint since the lodge has been found out. Also, no insanity mode? : ( Also, also "Controller feels superior to keyboard+mouse" makes me nervous. It could just be a personal opinion thing but I've never heard of any game where the controller was better than the mouse and keyboard except in extreme cases of consolitis...

It's definitely a personal preference, but that's not a bad thing. Beyond that, it's just one journalist's opinion so far. KBM might feel better to you. Another thing I like out of the article (as nitpicky as it is) - improved doors! The attention to detail is good.

Xander77 posted:On that note, can the game run on a GTX 750Ti? That's under the min spec, mayybe skirting its line if you squint a little. The 750ti is a nice card for 120€, but it's what you use in a family PC to play Civilization V. A GTX 960 is the lowest you should go for hard stuff.

It also depends on what resolution and quality you'll want to run it on. For instance, I run games at 1680x1050, max. And Shadows are loving dumb and never look good for their cost, so usually turn those down to low or medium. edit: and if anyone's thinking about buying a 900 class geforce, the 970 is clearly the best performance for the money.

I don't know if you're allowed to answer this, but just how large is the gameworld supposed to be, geographically speaking? Obviously with Novigrad and Oxenfurt present at least the southern border of Redania is in the game. Are we seeing entire countries, or is it going to play around the borders sort of how the Pontar Valley worked in Witcher 2?

Strom Cuzewon posted:The min is gtx 660, what are you on about? You must be confused about Nvidia models which is understandable, a 660 is more powerful than a 750ti. The last sentence is just wrong. 960 is a budget card tailored to service 1080p 'good enough for average gamers' while cutting every corner possible.

You always get customers who go "it has bigger number in the front, therefore it has to be more powerful" and I imagine likewise for AMD naming schema. Rest are varying degrees of analysts who compare cost/power for optimal card.

KBM controls are totally functional out of the box. In answer to the question about world size, it's really huge, but I don't like to compare it to real world size. Ultimately it's not the size, it's how you use it. That's a cliche but it's also true. It's less about pure real estate than about density of encounters, frequency of "cool stuff", exploration methods, etc. It's all a lot more complicated than just, "how many square miles". With all that said, it's huge and there's tons to do (and it's fun stuff and not garbage). Comte de Saint-Germain fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Mar 21, 2015 |

Ti versions of the cards will usually be slightly weaker than the next "tier" of cards but at a better price/performance ratio. With each new generation, everything shifts up half a rank or so a (x+1)50 will fall between a x50 and an x60 like in your case.

You can accurately control the camera with a stick, it just takes practice. I used to feel the same way you do now, and yes, camera accuracy and pointer precision are better with KBM, but camera accuracy and pointer precision aren't always the most important things (in this game they aren't, for example). EDIT: Obviously it's all personal preference, and our KBM controls don't suck Comte de Saint-Germain fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Mar 21, 2015 |

Yeah, the big thing you have to keep in mind is the difference between control and precision. In a shooter precision is the most important thing because you need to be able to accurately move the camera so the center of the screen is aligned with your target. In a third person melee oriented game, that is not the case. You have more than enough control over the camera to keep it where it needs to be and the m/k has no fundamental advantage over it, leaving it down to a matter of preference.

Mount and Blade, aka the best melee combat in a video game, requires a mouse and keyboard to play. Edit: Either way I'm sure TW3's mouse and keyboard controls will be fine.

It's also bizarrely irreconcilable with the two maps CDP has done in the past:  Like, I keep trying to wrap my head around it as some extremely lovely map projection but nah, it's just a straight up hack job on the continent. Further snooping uncovers that large parts of the previous post are fast-travel only areas (Vizima, Kaer Morhen). No clue why they felt the need to do a weird-rear end map to imply they were part of the open world.
