2015 was the year that everyone ran out of ways to say a game was slightly less visually stunning than they wanted it to be, so they say it's hot garbage or literally a PS2 game or some other hyperbolic nonsense.

I don't know, hot garbage is probably a pretty apt term to describe that melty lookin wax faced motherfucker.

Uh no? I liked Witcher 3 a lot but they're fuckin just different games. Witcher plays more like an ARPG than anything else. Is it a joke to say most of the NPCs in Witcher were just carbon copies? Did you even walk around the main city for a few minutes paying attention to your surroundings? There's like 2-3 models for 'street prostitute' that just get shuffled over and over - ditto for GTA5 to a lesser extent.

It's just weird how you fools have to compare every game like they're the same across the board when they're just not. I loved Witcher 3. I absolutely don't get how it 'ruins' Bethesda games.

lol just lol just lmao if you have time to give a poo poo about facelss npcs, they're like that so you pay attention to the actual characters you're meant to give a poo poo about instead of getting your rocks off hassling random street prostitutes.

Okay. What hardware is that running on? What settings? I too can post some low settings poo poo barely running on a shitbox and claim 'HAHA terrible graphics!'

It's loving meaningless without knowing the context. For all I know that's a screenshot from an alpha build.

I already know something is up because I've seen NPC screenshots that look way better than that.

Half the fun in a Bethesda game for me is rear end in a top hat physics. You're saying it doesn't matter if you get launched into space when a giant clubs you and that it's lame and gay and I'm saying I laughed my rear end off when it happened the first time.


Just keep calling it a 15 year old Gamebryo engine even though it isn't and even though you probably have no idea what an engine actually handles. It really shows your depth of knowledge in the field.

how desperate are you to defend bethesda if youve convinced yourself that you like the games for physics bugs and npcs schedules

Yeah but those random people are put there to make the games cities feel alive. Bethesda games do this too except instead of making it feel like theres 10,000 people in a city by putting people all over the place going about their lives, they just plop 4 extra NPCs with one line of dialog in random spots and they stand there pointlessly. You'd be crazy to deny that Noviograd felt more alive and interesting than any city in any Bethesda game ever.

I'm going to download it from PSN because why would you possibly get a disc these days.

so I can sell them back later when it's time to get the FFVII remake or the DayZ port or the new Mass Effect.

I know you don't get a lot back when you trade them in but it's not as bad as some people rage about. My wife bought me the witcher 3, an open-world game with good graphics, for father's day. She paid $52 for it. 4 months later I traded it in for $23. This was last week.

I just think it's funny that you people are going 'this company that makes wildly successful games just turns out garbage nonstop!' Clearly other people think the physics is fun and having NPCs with unique features/clothes/faces is cool and good.

Playstation 4.

Graphically, it is poorly made. While we can debate the subjective merits of the art direction, the fact is that for a high budget game released in 2015, it looks absolutely lousy. I don't know how you can look at that image and think "Yeah man, looks tight."

So uh fallout 4. New perk system seems cool. Gonna go for a swim probably.

Actually fallout 4's perks are the most disappointing thing shown so far. So many flat bonuses to things that you need to buy multiple levels of. Game features locked behind perks like crafting tiers and brahmin caravans. Pretty not happy with it but eh, mods will fix it. Skyrim had the same problem until SPERG came along.

theyre a background decoration in both games but in the witcher 3 they fill out an actually nice city that has probably twice as many full npcs as there are in any bethesda game. are u really defending bethesda game cities with twelve people in them who stand staring at walls and repeating conversations with eachother all day

Graphically, it is poorly made. While we can debate the subjective merits of the art direction, the fact is that for a high budget game released in 2015, it looks absolutely lousy. The argument that it is a big game world with a lot of NPCs to render doesn't hold up in light of the fact that the Witcher 3 is a game that exists, and was made by Polish wage slaves.

Look I'm not saying the graphics are stellar and I'm not saying it's because there's a lot of NPCs to render in a big world. I'm saying they chose to work on other aspects of the game instead and that given the limited resources (budget + time) they can't get everything to 10/10 levels. It's just impossible. The physics chat is because people are going 'well look at Witcher 3' and I'm going 'and? It doesn't' even have a physics system.'

Plus I just don't give a poo poo about the graphics anyway to be honest and I've always hated that people that focus on graphics over everything else because imo it is wrecking games but that's a different argument.
