Alright buddy I don't agree with his posts but come on, lighten up.

I'm really enjoying TW3 as I really enjoyed DAI. But they are different.

Although TW3 lacks the companion chemistry, it does make up for it with the regular cutscenes in even small side quests.

I have no doubt the 10 ram meat quest (which I had no big issue with) would have have more engagement still with a cutscene pay-off of a happy soldier and feeding refugees.

 

Interesting how much hate there is on the Witcher forums about downgrades and 'console port', feels almost like BSN

Heh, any Not-Brevnaus there?

Because of the controls?

I would go further to say that the first Witcher game plays like a "bad action game." But you're probably right. I guess I'm just not hardcore enough.

 You want to see bad controls?

 

Well honestly.. Not as bad really, but Dark Souls 1 and 2, on pc, KB and Mouse. Challenge you to try it. I couldn't git gud enough.

I heard he was over there complaining about BW like he did on the PoE forum

I can't imagine playing Dark Souls with a KBM (and I played them on Xbox, anyway), so I'm not going to take you up on that challenge. Honestly, none of the games really appeal to me as is.

 

I'm told TW2 is pretty awful with KBM. I played it with an xbox controller.

If I told you that I had tried DAI on KB and M and immediately switched to a controller, you'd probably chuckle.

This is my unsurprised face.

 

Does he frequent the Bethesda forums too, I wonder? (I mean, assuming they have them, which I guess they do.)

[AllThatJazz]

 

Same. I know this just comes down to personal preference but I greatly prefer the skill-based combat which is actually challenging (not to mention significantly more realistic). DAI was a stroll in the park.

 

I can't make specific comparisons on the quests yet as I haven't completed any, BUT the pacing feels much more dramatically polished here and the pacing of the story was a HUGE issue in DAI. Also, there are slight framerate issues on the Xbox 1 cutscenes (and I hear during combat on PS4). However CDPR had acknowledged them pre-release and have patches planned for today or soon after. This, in comparison to the numerous bugs in DAI (many of which went unacknowledged or flatly denied), is a very good look.

So you had 2 "wow" moments. Not especially impressive. And by the time the credits had finished rolling, I had long-ago lost interest in any little twists they tacked on to try and save that miserable ending.

 

One of my 'wow' moments was about an hour long. And to be honest, two such moments is two more than I get in the vast majority of games. I get it, you don't like the game. It's a shame you feel the need to be patronising and insulting to those of us who do, though.

I'm just being straight. Insulting doesn't come into it unless you take it that way yourself.

Meh. Edited a little bit. But I think some people are underestimating how important the freedom to craft even the appearance of your PC is to many players. It's a primary consideration for me, I know that much.

 

Yep, to me too it's such a deal-breaker that although I consider TW1-2 greatest RPGs, I always feel like they have one big flaw.

 

There really was no reason to lock us into a predefined character, as the games don't follow the books anyway. So for me the Witcher series could be the most brilliant games ever... but they won't. Geralt's personality just doesn't happen to appeal to me and I find him hard to emphathize with, and I'm stuck with it, unfortunately, so despite all the other things the games did brilliantly, one flaw remains.

 

I imagine that in Poland most people still think that there's a limited gaming demographics and it won't buy the game unless the protagonist is a gritty-looking muscled man.

 

P.S. Nudity scenes I don't care for, they don't appeal to me as I'm not of gender they're catering to. And I don't see why all the hype about how bold it is. To me they feel like catering to a limited demograhics. I guess I've seen too much anime with one-sided "soft-porn", and if they can use it as a trick to get more viewers in cartoons, then what's so bold when they start to do the same in games?

Yep. The ability to play as any old witcher would make the games 10x more attractive to me.

Haha you may leave the BSN, but the BSN never leaves you.

He should play Bayonetta.

Btw just wanted to commend you on the username and avatar, MST3K is among my favorite shows of all time.

It should be everyone's favorite show.

 

I know a lot of people lose their mind over Bayonetta, and it's probably great, but my desire to play it is right around zero, give or take. Right next to the Souls games, Bloodborne, DMC, and... whatever else is in that general genre umbrella.

I'm not quite sure I follow this. How is a game that requires moves to be executed in real-time and at the appropriate tempo not an action game? What meaning does "action game" have if it doesn't include such a game?

[herkles]

I think a great role playing experience should make you feel like **** when it wants, but not for good vs. evil reasons, I really liked the Winter Palace for this reason as it made sense for my dalish elf to let the Empress die so Briala could take over - but you still feel bad for letting that happen.

 

As for TW3, I can't play it until I get a better CPU cooler even though it's already installed. First world problems I guess.

Agreed. A big problem with consquenses, especially in bioware games(though they have gotten better at this) is that they are often good or evil.  When I want consquense I also want it to be moral ambiguity, with shades of grey. For instance do you pick the chargers or the Qun, things like that. 

 

But I want them to count down the road, it doesn't have to be big. It could be minor. Say, I save this village but ask for money in return, then perhaps they might not have as many supplies next time, but if I don't ask for money, I get a small discount. Several war-table missions give this example where if you go in the wrong way, ie force, it could be bad. Of course at times if you don't go in with force it could be bad.  They also have it where if you pick one opition it means that the quest branches off. 

 

More things like that would be good.

I was addressing folks that have mentioned before that a lack of an origin story (like in Origins or in DA2) has made them feel disconnected.  I was also mainly addressing Ogre's point.  I should have used the quote system, so that was my bad.

 

I'm not using headcanon much at all.  That was the beauty part to me. I didn't feel like I was acting nor being treated the same as the human non-mage PC.   I didn't have to head canon, it's right there in the game.  The race description, the various choices related to being a dwarf in conversation, and the reaction from both NPCs and party members.  No further invention needed for me.  I could state what I was like as a member of a Carta much the same as my human mage could state whether or not she was still close to her family.  I had freedom of religion, for the first time, something I badly wanted in Origins.  I mean by the ability to state how I felt on my non-human character about the Chantry rather than defaulting to "By the Maker" yet again.  

 

If anything, I felt the sense of being a non-human race so much better than I did as a Warden.  It's because of the way I was treated.  Outside of Orzimmar in Origins, no one made any remarks about me being a dwarf in much of any shape or form.   This isn't the case in Inquisition.  I noticed it in some conversations, as well as in other areas.  The War Table missions for the races are very different from each other.  I don't like how much of this is text only, and I'll be the first to state it.  

 

However, I don't need to headcanon what's already there in the game.  To me, my Inquisitor is whoever I feel like playing.  In my heart, if I had to pick a "canon" Inquisitor, it's my dwarf.  To each their own.  

Some people seem to be mistaking "acknowledge your race" with "be written around your race".

I knew it!

[Dreadstruck]

I am just a few hours into TW3 and I am very, very impressed. Everything from soundtrack, quests to world reactivity (physical or consequences) feels much more lively, dynamic and more satisfying than DA:I.

And the amount of detail, from a simple countryside village to a sword hilt of the most low-tier basic sword is staggering. It actually feels much more Skyrim-like than Bioware claimed for their own open world in some of the previews.

 

While I love Bioware's party based RPGs, I definitely feel they could take something from CD Projekt in regards to world and quest building, variety and the afro-mentioned dynamics of the game world and well... pretty much everything that makes an RPG. Sure, companion dynamics is nice but what's the point in basing the entire game on that when everything else in there is mediocre at best?

 

Combine both for next Dragon Age or Mass Effect and I'll be a very happy camper.

 

Oh, and it also has the best slavic-styled combat music.

That sounds like a rather sweeping generalization. Polish games (especially adventure games) and its demographics are not as backwater as you might assume and feature much more than the usual macho tough guy. Just because The Witcher is the one well known outside the country, doesn't mean it's setting the mantra.
