So... probably the middle of next week.

We saw some broken pc ports in the past, its not unthinkable that this version might be a bit busted. But on the other hand, Cdprojekt never disappointed me before, at least not with the level of support they give their games post release , im just staying on the cautious side of optimism for now .

Has anyone tired the Witcher 2 Enhanced Mod Compilation with the 2 skill points per level mod and know if they are compatible at all? Also if anyone is familiar with it: How do I combine mutagens? I don't see any recipes for it in flotsam.

Poetic Justice posted:Monday the 18th @ 6pm CST. Yes. Wait, really? Steam still says ~5 days and 18 hours for me, putting it on a midnight release on the 18th. Does that clock get updated the closer it gets to release? Or does it just not account for custom-timed releases or something?

All the reviews are suggesting the PS4 can't handle 1080p. I wonder how seriously they considered lowering resolution to 900p for the PS4 version also; consistent framerate (though I don't particularly care if it's 30 or 60 fps) is much more important than resolution IMO. Given that the xbone version runs in 900p (and so they will have worked out all the necessary scaling of UI elements etc), I wish they'd give us the option on the PS4 to make the choice to lower the resolution to improve performance. Yes, patches will probably improve performance, but it seems unlikely that they'll somehow manage to drastically improve the performance to get rid of slowdowns entirely.

What's an equivalent nvidia graphics card to what the PS4 uses? Comparable to a 680ti or something? Or is it not at all relatable?VDay posted:Wait, really?

I read somewhere that the xbone uses a dynamic resolution - so when things get hectic, it lowers the res to keep performance up. Sort of surprised the PS4 isn't using something similar.

So, it's releasing at midnight in Poland on the 19th? That means it'll unlock at 8am here in Sydney. That's cool, I can wake up and get it to finish downloading while I make coffee and breakfast then have the whole day to play! I'm legit excited now, I've had this on pre-order for so long (and it's the only game I've pre-ordered in years) that I can't quite believe it's nearly here. Congrats to all the team Comte on all the good reviews and fantastic sales figures so far. Seems like you nailed it!

Those links show two different times for me, stupid time zones. We need to switch over to Swatch Internet Time already. I ended up looking it up and it looks like the second link is the right one, so 4PM pacific time. Which is pretty loving perfect for me so even more excited now. e;fb

Huh, the preload on PS4 is evidently live but I get an error message when I try. Anyone else having their system giving them error CE-37700-7? Apparently Sony's support website has nothing to say about it.

Apparently Sony's support website has nothing to say about it. So this is going to sound retarded but I just did it and it worked; go to the store, search for Driveclub and install the free car addon. Then go back to your library and use the overview download button for Witcher.

I'm confident it'll be just fine. CDPR started out developing for the PC. It isn't like they handed the PC version off to High Voltage Software like MKX or just figured "eh, gently caress it" for the PC version like Pandemic did with Mercenaries 2.

The whole franchise has huge racism commentary, just with elves and not black people. But it's polygon so it's probably best not to even humor the clickbait attempt.

Elf racism as a thing in fantasy settings has never made any sense to me since they are demonstrably superior to humans. "Ha, you elf, you have to stay young and fit for a thousand years... wait". Not that racism ever makes sense; you'd just think that it would be the elves who would control all these societies with immortal dynasties etc. They should all be insanely rich from investments they made centuries ago.

I've always likened Elves to Native American Indians. People close to the earth driven off by foreign imperialist invaders.

Depths posted:Will need an answer for this before i can with good conscience buy this game I think that part of the Polygon review is just being silly for the sake of being silly. Also, it's funny that in this world the humans are the unsophisticated barbarian invaders who imposed their culture and appropiated some of it from the elves (who themselves had conflicts with the dwarves). Only the gnomes and halflings are innocent here. In other news it seems that the PC options will include the much wanted sharpening filter and options for increasing folliage density and stuff.

A race thinking they are "demonstrably superior" isn't great for kindling warm feelings among the untermensch.
