Kimmalah posted:I'll be honest, my brother kind of set it up for me when I wanted to get more into modding some of my games so I don't know a whole lot about specifics. Like I said though it ran Witcher 2 and pretty much every other recent game just fine on high settings so I was wondering if this is such a drastic change that it can't handle it. But I realize that's kind of vague so if that's impossible to really say, it's fine. I'm not going to be in line on release day or anything. You will be fine  If anything the recommended specs at this point is ludicrious given what they cut from the graphical options. Unless they just have very piss poor optimization on the PC platform which is yet to be seen because no one was given a review copy of the PC version. It has all been PS4 only.

How stupid do you think these people are???? Those features that were listed made this game loving glorious on PC.

I said come in! posted:Maybe you can get a refund for the game, Utnayan. Go see about that right now before its too late. Maybe one day you will understand that there are people in this industry fighting for the consumer, but hamstrung. Without egos, who will make gaming better without the bullshit that happened with this title and the misleading marketing that happened with the PC version. Let me note: This is BEYOND the developer and the good people (250) that work for the company so while some of you work there and post here relax, this is not about you. But Christ, quit defending it because the same developers you think you are protecting are just as pissed about this as I am and as you are, but failing to acknowledge it. Talk about the game. But also talk about how this was a gently caress up. And no, it was NOT the fault of the people that work there on this game and post here under handles. They are just as pissed as I am. Enough said. The game rocks. But Acknowledge the bullshit when it comes to least common denomination development because if it effects this company as much as it has, kiss advancement goodbye and you can see low cost development for the rest of your lives,. And those that work in the industry, your job goes bye bye, Because why will they pay your salary when they can sucker some college drag for 30k a year.

Or should this be an argument I want to make other than someone talking out of their rear end trying to deflect the ethics of marketing when their posting history speaks a 180 degree opposite of what they just thought they stood for which you are obviously an expert in poverty, global warming, war, and famine, as we discuss unethical marketing in video games as you never have once posted about those topics in your history here, rather, all about those pesty vidyagames. Maybe you cannot comment on the videos posted or some guy that came in here and could't tell the difference between the 360 version of Witcher 2 and the PC version. This is how far the rabbit hole goes I guess when trying to protect a product before launch.

As anyone can see you have the usual suspects trying to deflect some pretty lovely decisions because if we dig back far enough they were probably doing the same thing with the BF3 release. I support this developer. I believe they made a huge mistake. I also believe that there is a lot of BS that happens in this industry to make sure issues like this are deflected, especially here as it is a popular gaming site. Great game. Buy it for your console. Do not worry about upgrading any hardware like these poor fucks did. http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/04/14/the-witcher-3-at-4k-is-a-reminder-to-upgrade-your-video-cards/ Or whatever other shady marketing goes on between these dev houses and the hardware companies to create a false market where non eixsts. Note the date when CD knew full well no one would need that kind of hardware power for their game. Love this part: "This is a nice reminder that PC gamers have a lot to look forward to with this game despite some recent drama about whether the game was compromised for the sake of the console releases."

Actually, SA busted Sony. quote:Gamers across Web 2.0 are shaking angry fists at the latest alleged viral marketing campaign orchestrated by Sony. Piggybacking the YouTube bonanza, the company has hired "consumer activation" firm Zipatoni to create a false video-and-blogging approach to generate interest in their flagging PlayStation Portable handheld machine. The video/blog/ads featured people portending to be authentic PSP fans creating messages of love/want for the console, but were quickly uncovered by SomethingAwful.com's dedicated base as superficial facades shielding mouthpieces for the corporation. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/gamesblog/2006/dec/11/newsonyviral But.... the plot does thicken..... Remember, this doesn't exist.... So... We busted culprits before.... so who are the culprits now? And can we bust those within our own forums? I think there is a rinse and repeat that may happen.

I am not even against promoting this title. I am against the PC marketing mishap that a few have tried to deflect. I think it is time we take back these forums. The Angieslist of video games. No more viral crap goes on here. Hell, I'll give Rich 50k out of my own pocket.

And I think that this forum will be the best for it. Revenue will triple. And no longer will Vanilla Gorilla, Poptart Fairy, or some of the other culprits be left to stay and disperse and dissuade. I mean poo poo, it was a running tally that box revenue would increase at least 1k boxes with that Starfleet dental group from the MMORPG forum. I know of 3 marketing departments (EA, SOE, Funcom) where they actually paid for that poo poo. The grass is greener on the other side. Probably time to make that happen.

That kid took some of his money and bought a game called Alien Colonial marines. Why? Because I was sitting there watching that movie with him and he loved the thing. His favorite part was when they set up the automatic machine guns and they went off and he knew when the guns were going off by looking at the counter tick down. Aliens obviously. He spent the money he got from this very site to buy that game. It was a horrid broken mess as we all know. And he wanted to buy it and I insisted that I do it for him and he insisted no, he was going to buy it because there were great internet people that helped him and it he wanted to let them know he had fun and spent that 40 bucks wisely so I made him a steam account, he downloaded it, and I bought him a nice gaming laopop to play it on since he was in his bed. The game crashed constantly. Completely bug ridden as I found out later, and then knowing later through my contacts that the company... gently caress it. This kid looks up to me and says, "This game doesn't work that well......" I tried to fix the computer, over and over, I gave him 5 laptops, nothing changed it. He said, "The movie was better I think".... And All I could think of, was that gently caress, ********* covering his rear end while he was being sued by ******** for 3rd party, yes.... what a mother loving bastard. But those ads were awesome. You looked at the screen on the TV and you can sucker those casuals into buying your product or those moms and dads without thinking twice. 9 weeks later, that kid died. You can see from why I am so adamant about being ethical when it comes to these games? Honeslty, no internet poo poo, have you ever had to explain to a kid that had some funds to spend to help him out and make him smile, and loved a game that oh well, "Those publishers suck I guess, lets go call it a life!" Yeah some may think I am nuts. How about owning up to your product and not being an unethical gently caress. Has that ever once entered some minds. Witcher 3 will be fine. What got me was the usual defense of obvious bullshit deflection. Let me clue you in developers. We don't owe you poo poo. We bought your product, and sometimes off false promises and unfinished product. The hell you loving say we are entitled for feeding YOUR family. Get off your loving high horses and realize that false advertising is bullshit, and all your viral garbage will not make a few decent people go away. Doesn't matter to you. You made your cash.

Free at last, free at last! Thank GOD ALMIGHTY - Free at last! Hey Orv, don't forget to talk about how those MMORPG developers I ripped were unethical fucks and abused their consumer base knowingly. Can we talk about the NVIDIA promotion yet and how CD couldn't say anything about the complete and utter feature cut of the PC version while NVIDIA mislead their customer base to buy high end video cards where the majority of features were cut from the game? Or maybe the Youtube video that is now deleted because it showed the PS4/PC comparisons and all you get for your new shiny video card at $349-599 is higher resolution with more frames when most everyone uses V-sync to cap at 60 because otherwise they get screen tearing. Thank God the administrators here at Something Awful are as tired of the shilliing as I am. Vanilla Gorilla you have a PhD now? That's rich. In what? How to fool internet forum posters to buy lovely MMORPG's and shout down the people that tell the truth about the industry? Drifter: You rock. (I mean that) Carry on folks. Time for Billy Joel at 8pm central. This will be a good game. Next time? Tell the loving truth about the downgrades and the obvious impact on graphic fidelity, and this won't happen.

Willfrey posted:After reading the last 8 pages I feel I have been illuminated. gently caress viral marketing, its time to riot in the streets my brothers drat right: On my agenda: 1) Amazon reviews will be from verified purchases only. 2) Sites like IGN who make their money off publisher dollars for ads will no longer be able to review games based on said ad revenue. 3) Publishers will no longer be able to extort gaming sites with exclusive preview material, which those sites need to generate web hits, by making them promise they need good reviews for their game. 4) Publishers will come clean on any product changes 2 months before launch. Regardless of any "free game" promotions and will be heavily hit if those publishers do not follow through on features requiring said hardware. (Gee, lookie here, this game - to be honest this is more NVIDIA's fault as they forced CD to not say anything about the PC version downgrade) To name a few at the top of my list. With that said, it will be a great game. But next time, loving tell the truth to your customers. And days of the viral shoutdown artists here are over. Everyone needs to get a say, everyone can freely express their opinion without being stifled or called a troll when calling out the truth of an anindustry that has needed the wooden spoon on it's rear end for years now. Oh, and by the way, the next target? EA's new Star Wars game which is developed within 17 months and has 4 DLC packages already developed to sell you a game at $100 to get the full experience when it should have been launched like that all along. Long live the gaming consumer! It's time for an rear end whoopin'!

VanillaGorilla posted:Yeah, watching all the downgrade dudes getting hoisted on their own petard is pretty funny. Sorry you can't run the game on ultra/1440/hairworks enabled at a steady 60 with your single 970. Turns out that chasing the bleeding edge is a double-edged sword. This patch did absolutely nothing to enhance the downgraded graphics in the PC version, so quit posting like it did. Uber (Super Sampling) is still disabled and cannot be activated in .ini either and the game is still looking exactly like the video shown a few posts above. And the art assets are all at the same texture size along with view distance being capped to the PS4 version. Nothing has changed, and if one reads the day one patch notes you will notice there is no mention of it made in there either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fUGFmmikn4 So my advice when coming to a purchase of this if you have not bought it yet, and you own a PS4, that seems to be the edition to get unless modding and (maybe) an eventual edition which takes it back to the next level of previous trailers may come out, PC.
