OFFICIAL The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Discussion)

[cucker tarlson]

AMD could run GameWorks tasks async which GCN is fantastic at. Yes, it would make Maxwell cards and down look bad.

off to the dreamland. this is not feasible.

I have said this in another thread and I'll say it again , GameWork should have no place in any decent game engine. Any developer who has good intentions and is serious about their games will develop and use their own in-house technologies that are hardware agnostic which simply work and look better.

now that is just baseless fanboi talk.
you obviously aren't some sort of a game engine oracle, even though you kinda wanna feel like one. gameworks not only looks better than many in-house technologies, it has a broader scope. You're just asking retarded amounts of works from developers, I don't see a point many of you are making, you'd rather have nothing than an option to use gameworks.


Stop sullying and let other people decide for themselves instead of this imposing your subjective views on the whole PC gaming market. People voted for what they wanna get with their wallets.

End of this part of the discussion.

Now back to the Witcher 3. Are you as much into different skill builds as I am ?

 

[Vya Domus]

now that is just baseless fanboi talk.

Sure buddy , sure. That comment of mine just REEKS of fanboysm. Unlike your own arguments which are limited to : "Nvidia does nothing wrong" and "Everyone who disagrees with me is a fanboy". It's very obvious to everyone that you're definitely not a fanboy and troll yourself.

So my bad. Great work , keep it up.

GUYS!


So, how 'bout that Witcher 3???

 

[Upgrayedd]

I wish it could make use of my PhysX card but oh well.

Back to real Witcher discussion though. I hope one day they revisit the series and remake all 3 games into 1 giant epic game.

LOL I never said they were doing nothing wrong. Quite the opposite. What I said is we're tired of such moralists like You and FordGT hijacking threads, boiling down the essence of such spectacular games down to "they're morally wrong to use gameworks".

New game will come some day. In 5 or maybe 10 years, but it will. Not with Geralt as protagonist, that is pretty much over as it's been the central theme for 3 games.

 

[TheMailMan78]

So guys, any chance we can return the Witcher 3 thread to Witcher 3?

Meh I derail threads without even trying now. Just a post alone is enough to get people fighting......this must be how Trump feels.

Geralt is already 100yo in Wild Hunt.

A new game with Ciri as protagonist would be spectacular.

Do you even get what I'm saying?

Not at all.

 

[silentbogo]

Why can I not get into this game? I love Skyrim but this just bores me...

Because Skyrim is the most dumbed-down Elder Scrolls RPG. If you were a Morrowind fan, you'd be very disappointed to see those ridiculous perk trees.
As you've noticed - I'm on the opposite side of this barricade. Even though I've completed Skyrim a couple of times, it feels too short and too easy even on Epic difficulty.
Tried a remastered version after 2 year long break and beat it on Epic, while missing only 2 achievements (actually I missed one, and gave up on boring Thieves Guild fetch quests).

Witcher 3 is easily the best RPG of this decade. And you don't need mods for boobs and horse armor

I'm 60 hours into the game and not even close to being done with campaign, and not even slightly bored.
The only thing that Witcher series can't get right is proper introduction and tutorials. I barely learned how to use alternative sign modes few hours ago.

P.S. My opinion is definitely biased, since I've been a big fan of the series starting with Wiedzmin TV show (with the usual crappy overdub by russian ORT channel). @cucker tarlson should remember that one: crappy CGI, excellent swordplay and stunts, magic, monsters, dragons, bewbs and stuff...
Still haven't had a chance to read books, though.

Yes!

Got notifications ,so i had to get back to the game and start testing.
With my new gear, i get between 60-35 fps.Most of the times will be 50'ish . Still smooth ,very very smooth. The transition between the fps is not noticeable.
Yes everything turned to ultra hairworks 8x on ; res 1080p.

The way i played the game was 1080 at all high settings, hairworks turned off.

 

[cucker tarlson]

Hairworks 8x is not worth the performance hit, go for 4x tops
same goes for max foliage visibility range, performance takes a huge hit, unless you have some sort of pop-in problems with environment that this option solves, go for high.

 

[Steevo]

I agree the fighting system is slightly fucked, as is the sign usage, kb/m for me as it feels more natural in this game than controller.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Not at all.

Yea I didn't think so.

The Witcher 3 set a high bar for open world action RPGs.
Bethesda with their generic story, generic characters and uninteresting world, can't even clean Geralt's boots. With both ES and Fallout.
Skyrim was so bland in every regard that I never got to finish it completely. The world is large but insanely boring. All you encounter is white and gray. Dungeons are usually too long and are more or less copy-pasted. I had more fun playing Oblivion (which I actually finished twice). FO4 is even worse. Played the free weekend on Steam for 10h total, uninstalled the game before the free trial ended, it was that bad. Nothing in that game pulled me in. Not to mention the combat. Ppl complain about combat in TW3, but Fallout combat is borderline horrible.

Witcher 3 on the other hand... Even the side quests are fun. There's so much more stuff to do. The world is more vibrant and diverse. The combat is also nicely done, and I'm playing it on a PS4 controller, never got frustrated or anything. The stuff I feel somewhat neutral about is the skill system and the crossbow. You can see they didn't invest as much time into designing the skill sys as everything else, and the crossbow is there, but has very little use.

60+ hours in, and still a lot of stuff to do. I'm maybe 21st level or smth like that.

 

[Ascalaphus]

Over 180 hours in this game. W3 takes a big fat crap over Fallout 4/Skyrim. It isn't even close.

Just the quests alone are the stuff of legends. Not mentioning the characters, lore, world, graphics, etc.

With that said I would LOVE if CD PROJEKT RED did a remaster of Witcher 1 with using Witcher 3 engine. Played and beat all 3 games in the series, but going back and playing the original W1 a few weeks ago and it hasn't aged well at all.

This. I want a remake of all 3 rolled into 1 game. Not really anytime soon either cause I still need to do a NG+ and will be spending a few years with Cyberpunk most likely. It seems unlikely but I will pray.

 

[silentbogo]

Nah, this definitely won't happen.
If CD Projekt Red takes a break from Witcher, it means that they want to forget about it at least for a decade.
I'd rather see a good Witcher movie or TV show. Netflix is working on something right now in cooperation with some Witcher-associated people, so let's hope 2018 brings a decent TV series on the big screen.
Not really fond of Netflix screenwriters, but at least one out of 5 shows ends up being really good. Like Peaky Blinders, Hemlock Grove, Stranger Things etc.

I was only able to play FO4 for 6 hours before uninstalling it to make space for DOOM.

Oblivion wasn't that good either. In my opinion it was saved by Shivering Isles expansion.
My favorite is still Morrowind, but it's old and capricious on new PCs. I'm still waiting on an actual release of Skywind, but I have very little hope left. The community project became so ambitious, that by the time they are done tweaking and improving one thing, the other aspect of the game becomes old and requires reworking. And it's like that in never-ending cycle since Morroblivion.... or whatever was it called...
Played an early alpha a few years back, and it was already good enough for release (except for a few bugs).

 

[Vayra86]

Ran both Witcher and TR without hair thingies. The only way to notice any improvements is to focus hard on Geralts head, and considering what a game TW3 is you'll be focusing on everything else but his head. A waste of gpu power if you ask me.

This. Hairworks is that one-off tech Nvidia needed to sell Maxwell and make Kepler look bad

As for sequels to TW3... that can go south rather quickly. They will need to surpass TW3, that's quite a challenge, especially content wise, and its easy for TW3 to get oversimplified as well, TW3 already saw some sneak peek of that.

 

[bubbleawsome]

They've said his journey is over though, so a sequel won't be related to Geralt and I'm not sure how well that would work.

Also apparently CDPR is booked through 2021/2023 at least. They've got two large games planned after Gwent according to some interviews and one of those is Cyberpunk 2077 which will probably be 2019 at best.

 

[BiggieShady]

You mean a character creation screen where you can pick a hair color somewhere in between grey and white and name your own witcher? ... also not sure how well that would work.

I'm just saying I think the world was so well built around him I'm not sure how well they could spin it off, even if the sequel focuses on Ciri or something.

 

[Upgrayedd]

With the popularity of micro-transactions in games now do you think the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 will have these? They did say it would have multiplayer. I hope not but I'm not really doubting it considering how much money other companies are making off them.
