Abigail was at the center of an entire act's plot.

Personally I hope Count Etcheverry is in The Witcher 3 as an absurdly difficult optional boss fight, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yea I hated dice poker although the character reactions when you beat people were funny. That one young dwarf in Vergen after you beat him the second time says

"I'm not playing dice with you anymore" and when Geralt tells him not to get mad he gets this pained expression and says "Im not mad I'm just not loving playing with you anymore". :lol:



I hope people get huffy after I whip them in Gwent. Although I'm an idiot so I might be getting whipped to start.

And yes this does have implications. When pc gamers are wondering if they should upgrade for the best experience and they can run it with the best settings with a GTX 570, and it equals a console. Also, I have a choice between my PC and a ps4, chose the pc and was going to bring this into my theater for the effects I saw with in game footage from 2013, now knowing I could have just bought the ps4 version instead. We are all buying it anyway but this is pretty loving stupid.

Very correct. Or a purchasing decision on which platform to buy it on.

This happens constantly. But when thousands of people see purchasing 600 dollar video cards based on bullshit that they will get a better experience, that's an issue for me. With the current trend and the common denominator development just buy a console and have the same experience as you would plunking down 1600 for a custom built PC that won't have any advantages, people should be advised to quit wasting money if this is the ultimate outcome from developers without support for hardware that is way more capable.

What? It looks significantly better on the PC. You're loving delusional if you think otherwise. The PS4 is running at 30FPS and at a graphical fidelity that's very clearly less than the PC version. It doesn't matter to me but if you have the PC to run it or are just a GPU upgrade away then that's something you should consider especially if you don't have a PS4 already.


I honestly don't understand what people are upset about. The game looks great. It looks great on everything but definitely better on high end PCs. Buy it or not, but I'd recommend maybe considering factors other than graphics for getting a game since the dope rear end story telling is easily the best thing about it.

There was a youtube video that showed them side by side and there was literally no difference which sparked this whole mess. It has now been conveniently taken down. Check rerolled.org. Heaven forbid we tell the truth here. Sales will not be impacted my little viral marketing lemmings.

When I played Witcher 2 on the PC I had a much weaker computer and had to turn everything way down, but it didn't matter since the visual triumph of the game was stuff like costume design which wasn't a property of fancy technology.

edit: and the visual part itself was nothing compared to how interesting the character interactions and quest goals and stuff were.

You will be able to run it easily on high settings with that. The Xbox one which they built it for is obviously lower.

Can someone explain the map to me? It looks like it stretches from southern Redania down towards the edge of northwest Temeria, if the Witcher 2 map is anything to go by. I know that Wyzim/Vyzim/Vyzima is further south where the river breaks, but I'm trying to place areas like La Valette Castle or Gors Velen (from Witcher 2 and the books, respectively) Would they be further east or south than where this map stretches to?

Also, any sign of Yarpen?

Here is where a developer for the company explains why they had to develop for the least common denominator.

http://whatifgaming.com/developer-insider-the-witcher-3-was-downgraded-from-2013-list-of-all-features-taken-out-why

For the record I could care less but had I known this before I would have bought the ps4 version. Instead this developer clearly states why they kept it in the dark which, honestly, who gives a gently caress. Just be honest.
