It’s just a personal quirk. I hate the term banned or illegal used in the context of this. Mostly it’s just ToS. Just a matter of principal for me. If it’s just an issue of no major site wants it, we’ll it’s just the market, but the idea it’s sanctioned by law irritates me to no end. I mean if they have an ISP that doesn’t care, CDPR or WB can’t hope to do anything long term.

Whatever terms used it seems this has nothing to do with fair use, freedom of speech, freedom to use software you purchased how you want, freedom to stream buggy gameplay, how binding ToS are, etc. The issue seems to be freedom to put content on twitch/youtube. Twitch/youtube get to make up whatever rules they want on how their sites are used and any pretext they offer is meaningless. They aren't obligated to host anything.

It may suck that two companies (I dunno are there more?) get to basically decide how streaming works but that's a different issue about monopolies and such.

I call bullshit. I play this game still yearly and it plays just fine. It’s over the shoulder WASD and it’s still a fantastic game with a great atmosphere that even the later two games don’t quite have. Folks need to stop perpetuating these myths that older games are “unplayable” unless they are in fact impossible to play.

Edit: Also, what the gently caress is resetera? Is that another forum or something? Is it tied to SA somehow and that’s why it keeps getting brought up?

i feel like if you have that many issues with CDPR and want to make a thread talking about it and making critques, than cool but now its just sad, like just don't buy the loving game and explain why to friends and poo poo. you don't need to get sick over it. like i can see that shithole site legit imploding over it.


so based on the leaked gamplay i have seen, the games looks great on ps5 and xbox series x.

As with all RPGs where I can create my own character, my first character will just be that world’s version of me. It’s easier for me to roleplay myself in those types of games until I learn the ins and outs. And since I play these games repeatedly for years, I’ll always branch out into stuff that is farther from myself as time goes in. My second play through I’m hoping to play as a Bowie/Ziggy Stardust/Ghirahim type character as ultimately I find that to be way more interesting.

I copied all the text from that post into a Word doc (minus the text from the quote links or whatever they are), and it ends up being over 5,500 words. Granted, it looks like it was edited to add new updates, though that begs the question as to why the poster just didn't make a new post.

It’s not an age thing, Witcher 1 wasn’t very good when it was new. You just have a high tolerance.

I was going to get this on PS4 Pro, instead of my PC with a 1050gtx, but now that someone mentioned GeForce Now, I'm not sure. My internet speed tested at 145 mbps, which should be plenty for Now. What would you guys do?

e: If it makes any difference, at some point in the near/medium future I was planning on upgrading my PC, so I would likely eventually buy it on PC anyway. But I'm more worried about playing it now.

e; just tested out the free version with witcher 3, it seemed to work pretty good actually.

witcher 1 is a at best super janky game that has a really lovely combo of a bad out of date combat system AND a bad camera which makes you play the game wrong. the other issue is the sex stuff and writing hasnt aged well to be nice. 2 has issues too with that but the plot is alot better with a ton of high points. outside the arthur twist and that one swamp part, i can't think of anything good about 1.

I think the alchemy system worked really nicely on selling you on the fantasy of being a grimdark monster hunter. Since you couldn't chug potions mid combat and the combat was largely just a stat check, on the higher difficulties the only way to progress was to pre-emptively research the monsters, come up with the optimal combination of potions and oils, gather the resources, and then go in. As opposed to the later games where you felt less like a grimdark monster hunter, and more like Generic Fantasy Swordsmaster that could waltz into any fight and come out on top by chewing through 5000 loafs of bread mid combat.

Well ain't that precious?

Witcher 2's settings were bad. All of them were in the middle of the nowhere. You went to a a village in the middle of a swamp, a camp in the middle of a battlefield, and a repurposed abandoned city. Maybe the Squirrel city was more interesting though.. Although I don't think that there is a problem with the settings individually, just the lack of variety.

I recall the reaction to Witcher 1 being largely meh with a lot of hatred for the swamp. I played it for a few hours and got bored. I vaguely recall some kinda weird sex card collecting thing.

Playing some Deus Ex reboot 2 now is giving me pretty straight forward expectations for Cyberpunk. I want something like this game, but with character creation, more open ended, and better combat. All the Deus Ex games right from the start have always suffered from stiff terrible feeling combat so even Bethesda Fallout level would be an improvement. If Cyberpunk can deliver that I'll be happy.
