Snouk but and snouk ben,
I find the smell of an earthly man,
Be he living, or be he dead,
His heart this night shall kitchen my bread.

EDIT: Earlier I mentioned crashing while playing Gwent on PS4. I recreated the crash. It seems to happen consistently (in the tutorial match, at least) if you tap the triangle button instead of holding it down to pass your turn.

This is actually super useful. I'm 99% sure we already fixed this in a patch, but I'll make sure it's in the database.

Roche and ves in the trailer, oh yes.

Roche is in blue, I assume that's from giving Anais to Natalis. Or maybe it didn't matter and he went back to wearing blue anyways. Hard to guess.

I tried witcher 2 this weekend for the 3rd time, and got past that captain guy on the top of the tower in the prologue. I'm now in the forest outside flotsam, and guys! it's actually a pretty good game! It did CTD on me once so far for no reason, but apart from that it's going fine. The combat is good, the mechanics seems deep, the plot seems decent, and people sing songs about loving your mom, and someone even said oval office. This is weird and amazing. It's also super pretty. My friend told me about the gog discount if you already own witcher 1/2, and I was able to add witcher 2, it didn't like the amazon version key I have of witcher 1. So yeah I just bought witcher 3 :)

But no, that's a good looking game

If you're buying Witcher 3 on PC, you'll most likely be able to enable the 2013 graphics with a .ini file. Yeah, the downgrade sucks but it's not because of consoles. It makes no sense to have these settings when hardly anyone on PC is going to be able to enable them. It requires all sorts of testing and quality control to enable what was shown in 2013 across the entire game.

Another thing that bothers me is that CD project can't just own up to this and actually seemed to try deflect the criticism (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!). The graphics not turning out as good as they looked in a trailer two years ago is one thing and completely understandable, but they had to know for a while they wouldn't quite match that kind of quality and should have acknowledged it. It's like Bioware swearing Mass Effect 3 wouldn't get a lovely pick your ending button even a day before launch when that's exactly what they shipped.

People are already posting tweaks. Here's a shot of the same area on PC. NPC count is much higher than the PS4 pic everyone keeps posting



You can mess with the color correction and sharpen filters too if you want to get that E3 2013 look

Yup, it'd have been simple for them to just say that they couldn't get the game to look as good as the 2013 "in-game" shots.
Instead, they've ended up looking like Ubisoft with Watchdogs.

I think all of these will suck for awhile, since the weather system in witcher 3 makes the colors vary quite a bit. Best changes might be small tweaks.

Do you really think that everything will go away if they just said something? That a different a different set of people would not be complaining anyway about the graphix they could have got if not for the filthy consoles?

It was not a good situation either way.

If they say anything, people'll mob them even worse. This is the internet and we live in a world of incredibly entitled people who are disinhibited to the consequences of their actions. Silence and just letting it go away is the best course of action. It -will- go away, too. By this time next month, people'll have forgotten.

No, it's an incredibly important issue. It's about business ethics and children suffering from leukemia who lose their will to live because of game developers overpromising and underdelivering. It's also about whether we want the forum to be a base of operations for freethinking rebels or abandon it to corporate shills. Choose your side.

I feel like my life would be way more exciting if I could conflate such disparate issues into one vast conspiracy. Anyway, I pre-ordered this game last week and now I'm pleasantly surprised that I'll be able to play it when I get home from work today, yay!

Yikes, a lot of reports about the game hardlocking the consoles.
Playing the in-game card game seems to be a consistent culprit.

Looking forward to seeing floods of bug reports here tomorrow.
