Good, HUD color changing is still there.

Also, I assume that red marker on the HP bar is crippled health indicator?

Edit: What's the wire going into the lower back of the vault suit for?

its rads, higher rads lower your health, going from fallout shelter at least and they seem to be using the same stuff from that in the village building stuff so makes sense i guess.

Yeah, maybe increase the saturation 400%, crush the blacks, give it a sort of cel-shaded outline sort of thing, some sort of weird DOF shader! Yeah bro! SweetFX totally is awesome and not complete garbage!

but are W3-level graphics really what anyone is buying the game for?

It's bitching, but it is bitching out of love's sake. Seriously, why would you intentionally set the bar so low that Witcher 3, a game made by a somewhat underfunded company in Poland, that is handily outperforming a AAA title made by super-experienced developers with literal decades of experience on their belt, having released several highly praised games with critical acclaim, is somewhat made out to be an unfair comparison to this?

Really? No, we aren't going to buy a game for its graphics. Only an idiot buys a game for its graphics. The razzle-dazzle is meant to sell an impression of an experience. The question is, if the polish is lacking in the graphical department, where exactly are they putting all that talent and experience towards? This isn't about an outcry over "where are my graphics Bethesda", but "why aren't you putting in the effort Bethesda"?

This is the problem with a market that only responds to sales numbers. The game is going to sell as loving hotcakes. And any and all criticism of the medium as a lasting piece of inspiration is just dead. It's just another product on the assembly line. It isn't there yet. But that is where it is heading.

As long as the settlements and weapon customization work and are good on release and the new perk system is isn't total garbage I'll get my $45 bucks out of it.

Yeah, you will. You'd also get your full meal from $45 spent at McDonalds.

CD Projekt RED has around 230 employees. I can't find the numbers for BSG today, but they had around 70 for Fallout 3 and around 100 for Skyrim. I don't think it's really fair to act like the Witcher was made by some sort of scrappy indie team.

I like how the bigger town buildings are more kept together than the little suburb houses. But I really want all kinds of buildings to be repairable to some degree in case you make them a settlement. Even if its just scrapping most of the buildings and using it to turn a tower into a fortress.

They also own GOG.com and I am pretty sure get a great deal of Government tax assistance. They also fronted the 81 million to make Witcher 3 -themselves- so 'underfunded' is a loving laugh.

They get MAJOR tax assistance. Like, assistance no other country gives game developers since Poland's one of the few places games are considered a form of art. Also, Polish wages in general tend to be quite lower than American so I'm betting their profit margins are much higher than what Bethesda gets overall (and Bethesda themselves have to split with Zenimax.)

Crabtree, I sadly will not be surprised if settlements are restricted to some preset zones. They can't really have you building everywhere. Though maybe you'll be able to demolish some of the ruined buildings for scrap.

We've known that settlements were restricted to specific plots since the E3 presentation.

Sure they're restricted right now to likely a few select places, but I bet a majority of them will already have ruined housing that you may or may not be able to use as a base structure to repair or remake. I'm not going to say the game sucks if most buildings need to be demolished for parts, but I'd like the ability to have variety in my construction.

Generation Internet: Jan 18, 2009; Where angels and generals fear to tread.

Have a poorly spelled and formatted info-dump from Reddit:

quote:

I've been reading a Spanish forum where an user claims to have play the game and reveals some info about it, I don't know if it's true but here it is. I'll try to translate it as best I can, don't be too hard please. SOURCE
English recap: The game, even tough not so revolutionary, it doesn't look like in the captures but better, it's not really a bad game. Joined together the game world looks better than great, and the illumination is one of the best I've seen. It is true that it suffered some framedrops but, there is also much more on screen.

- DIFFICULTY: Very easy, easy, normal, hard, very hard, SURVIVAL. They change damage, resistance of enemies and appearing rate of legendary enemies. Legendary enemies are harder and they have a chance of dropping a legendary item with unique characteristics like better critic chance or that refills AP when doing a critic.

- HUD color will be customizable by RGB sliders.

- Minigames for unlocking doors and terminals are exactly the same as in Fallout 3.

- About the size of the map, is hard to tell a size because it's quite small on the pip-boy but it doesn't seem small at all, there is a lot to find on it. Probably Skyrim's size more or less?

-COMBAT, WAY better. It is no COD but the FPS sensations are amazing, you notice every impact, the weapons recess, different characteristics between them etc makes it wonderful. There was a lot of place from Fallout 3 to improve so I was doubtful about what would they do, but you all can be calm about it. Also, enemy AI, without being super evolved or anything, it's way better. Enemies hide, get cover a lot, they go for you when you have little health or you're reloading (He's playing in hard mode). He says VATS it's completely not essential.

-Animations are flawless. People's faces, even tough there are some similar (particularly raiders) there are a lot, and way different ones from each other.

-He didn't like at all the dialogue system, and in 23 hours he's played almost no mission he was able to get out of just by dialogue. Although there was some "X person approved" like in Dragon Age/Mass Effect, there is no visible karma system, and that takes a lot of attractive to the diplomatic side of the game. He checked statics and he didn't see either nothing about reputations like in NV. He thinks it will probably work like in Skyrim and Oblivion.

-SETTLEMENTS: A very important pillar on the game. Some will love it, some will hate it. He thinks that, even tough he likes this kind of "microgestion"aspects from RPGS he thinks Fallout's it's a little bit harder and deep than he likes. They give sooo many options about it, and missions, and objectives that he think they take out weight from the rest of the game. ABOUT HOW THEY WORK: There are a ton lot of red workshop tables all over the world, some free and other ones occupied. Once you get to them (if the people occupying it are good people you'll have to do the typical mission to help them etc) you can do all that was seen on the demo, destroy everything, and build. You'll have to maintain the little, or bunch of humans on it with food, water, energy and beds. When they're attacked you'll receive a message and have the option to go help. It is very complete and you can invest a lot of hours making it really cute, have there your base with all your people etc, but he thinks it might be a little bit overexploited.

-WEAPONS: More about them, he has only seen like 12-15 base weapons yet, but he says that the weapons mods is crazy. Every weapon can easily have 25-30 different pieces that alter sadistics.

-LOADING TIMES: There are a lot of little houses that doesn't need a loading screen, but big buildings normally do. Loadings between buildings are normally really short, being fast travel loading longer.

-POWER ARMORS: Used almost like a vehicle. You get inside, you use it, you get out of it and it stays on that place. It gives them a more OP feel, but it is also way less "comfortable" to use.

-NARRATIVE: He says it starts a little bit weak, and it takes a little to get it up and running. In his almost a day of playing has only completed 4 because they're pretty long and full of things to do. Even tough, he thinks the way the story is going can be very interesting.

Emphasis mine, HATE DIALOGUE, etc.

Here's the straight Spanish, it looks that way:

quote:

- Dificultades: Muy f�cil, f�cil, normal, dif�cil, muy dif�cil y supervivencia. Cambia que hacen m�s da�o y resisten m�s y, a su vez, hay m�s probabilidad de que haya enemigos legendarios. Estos son enemigos que tienen una estrella al lado del nombre y son mucho m�s duros que el resto de su tipo y tienen probabilidad de soltar items legendarios (igualmente, tienen una estrellita al lado del nombre) que tienen propiedades "�nicas" como, por ejemplo, un rifle l�ser con un 15% de probabilidad de cr�tico y que se rellenen los PA al hacer un cr�tico.
