quote:Geralt of Rivia awakes at Kaer Morhen, bereft of even those bits of knowledge courtesy of some rather convenient amnesia. He travels a treacherous path of enemies and friends who have grudges and debts yet to repay, slaying monsters and saving folk along the way. He avoids dalliances with unintended rhyme and becomes aware of a prophecy to end the world. Not some no account, Mad Max motherfucker prophecy either, a real gently caress poo poo Up Forever prophecy. It is said that time of The Wolf's Blizzard approaches, and it's going to make a winter written by George R.R. Martin look like a weekend in Boca Raton. Between the insurgent non-humans and the feuding kings this is really all he needs, a prophecy to end the world, and on top of it a secret cult dedicated to who knows what. Problems and politics eventually fall to the wayside and Geralt faces a choice, posed by a figment of Death Itself; leave his past behind or embrace it in whole. Choices aside, Geralt comes to his reward to find his employer under assault. Engaging in a desperate struggle Geralt kills the assailant only to find the man kin. I realize you might want to avoid spoilers or something, but these are both confusing as gently caress and I've played the games.

I'm watching the Giant Bomb Not-A-Quick-Look right now and I have to say, I really appreciate (tutorial area spoiler) how Kaer Morhen's layout in W3 is identical to Kaer Morhen's layout in W1. It was really distracting how Redcliffe in Dragon Age: Inquisition looked nothing like Redcliffe in Dragon Age: Origins and I'm glad CDPR isn't making the same mistake.

I am sorry that you have someone missed the massive marketing blitz CDPR has done for this game over the past few weeks that has included multiple trailers, letting YouTube personalities play the game and record it, and lifting the review embargo a week early. Perhaps if you had seen all of that, it would have given you an idea of the visual fidelity of this game.

Utnayan posted:I guess neither does deleting the evidence on youtube. Nope, nope, nope, don't wiggle away from this. So is the footage recorded and released with CDPR's authorization by docm77 PC gameplay and therefore indicative of the platform's graphics or not? I would like to point out that he claimed it was running at 60 FPS, which the PS4 isn't and should be very important to a graphics hound like you. Which makes it odd that you claim you would have rather gotten the game on PS4 if you had only known about this terrible downgrade.

Utnayan posted:Are you serious right now? I do not care about 60 FPS as much as I care about fidelity and effects at 45 FPS. I would run this at 30 FPS if it meant I had the graphic fidelity of what was already played in 2013. Nothing was played in 2013. An out-of-context clip was played in a marketing trailer. There was no physical play going on, no game systems working in the background. You might say it was  quote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU9rlkCOk9E I actually finally bothered to watch this video and its kind of amazing that at the very start, the interviewer (fresh from having played the PC version and recording a video of it) says the game looks amazing. This is your smoking gun! Your conclusive proof! And in its opening moments, it flat out disagrees with you! The artist then begins to explain what happened between 2013 and now, the same thing that Comte explained in the last thread and multiple people have tried to explain to you in this thread. I also enjoy that you seem to interpret someone who doesn't speak English as their first language and isn't a polished PR person as being "jittery" when he is attempting to simplify technical concepts down for the layman. quote:Yes, had I known, I would have gotten this on PS4. It's the same drat game on both platforms, I gain nothing from buying on PC. My complaint is laziness! I do not want to hook up my PC to my theater and hook up audio for a better visual experience on my PC if I am not getting it. Why would I??? As I said I am not saying the game sucks, I cant wait to play it. My beef is with why they held back information on the PC version. Just loving admit they hosed up and move on already. Holy poo poo. I'm sorry but this is absurd. The PC can run this game at 4k and at 60 FPS. The PS4 cannot. If they are identical in all other graphical effects (as you claim) the PC will still remain the superior graphics platform for those reasons alone. As you are clearly a graphic aficionado, I am certain you have a rig capable of running it at very high levels. Resolution and framerate are no small graphical effects, far more significant than mere particle effects or high degrees of anti-aliasing and would absolutely be worth the "effort" to get your rig set up in the fashion you seem to want it set up. Yet you seem to be willing to get it on PS4 and play the visually same game at a worse framerate and lower resolution. You are a confusing individual, sir/madam. quote: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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv0gJ8DpUd0 You are still refusing to address that this video exists. Why is that Utnayan?

Wait, so you have to have the exact ingredients in order to brew potions/oils? Because that's kind of loving annoying when I want to make some specter oil and I have no idea where to find the petals it needs. Also, are any quests timed?

You can't actually "kill" her because she's still bound to the well. Whack her a few times with your silver sword and she fucks off, to return either the next day or when you reach a certain stage in the quest. If you're having a hard time with her, drop a Yrden. She's vulnerable inside it.

Manatee Cannon posted:Is it an open world, or is it sectioned off like in DAI? Because I've found the edge of the map already and I can't scroll that far in any one direction when I look at the local map. Maybe it's just like that because it's the first area and it's gating me from leaving the place until I've killed the griffin or what have you. It's sectioned off into a few different chunks. You can see them if you check the full world map. That said, each chunk is way, way bigger than DAI's levels.
