The Witcher info

[MasPingon]

Since there is no news on The Codex-The Witcher just goes Master candidate, it means the beta testing is over. In case you didin't know, there is new 10- minutes gameplay on some russian portal. I don't understund shit, but it's nice to see a new look of the game.

There is also a leak of 6-minutes intro. Personally, I shit my pants when I first saw it

Looks nice Gothic-y.

Vader??

Meh, Vader is/(was?) okay DM band, too bad this song is synthetic shit.

 

[Astromarine]

Hey cool, the intro is the first story in The Last Wish

 

[Jaime Lannister]

Good:

No quest compass, quest update just says, "Find a way out of the sewer" instead of telling you where to go.
Animations look fantastic.
Graphics are looking good.

Bad:

Too much bloom, too much blur.

 

[MetalCraze]

No quest compass, quest update just says, "Find a way out of the sewer" instead of telling you where to go.

but you will find your way out of there anyway.

Too much bloom, too much blur.

Todays games cannot exist without these exciting features. It is called next-gen. It is cool.

 

[Shoelip]

Is being so sarcastic you can't even tell what you mean anymore next-gen as well?


The is my favorite smilie: Can you tell?

 

[TalesfromtheCrypt]

The intro movie was cool. Although a sarcastic comment saying that these kind of things don't mean anything for gameplay (because they don't) would be in place, I just have to admit that Im a sucker for these kind of cutscenes in games. If well done, they really help creating atmosphere.

About the quest compass. Unfortunatly I think Ive read somewhere that it will have some kind of quest compass.

In Soviet Russia compasses turn you off.

 

[Starwars]

Obviously one can't judge until one has played it, but judging from that video I think combat looks incredibly shitty.
If the choices/consequences work as well as people are hoping for, then I might still be interested though. But I don't think the game looks particularly fun judging from that video.

At least it has lots of Bloom.

That is supposed to happen in Soviet Russia, but for some reason only happens in Oblivion...

 

[Sodomy]

Meh, Vader is/(was?) okay DM band, too bad this song is synthetic shit.

Meh, Vader's last good album was De Profundiis... and that was a LOOONG fucking time ago.

 

[Saxon1974]

Hmm, I am only moderately interested in the game. It all depends on much RPG elements are in it. The combat will turn me off I think.

The more previews and hype I see, I get less interested every day.

That being said, I will at least have some interest in it.

Will they offer a demo?

I wasn't bothered by Bioshock's quest compass, because I never had it on.

 

[inwoker]

Oblivion is Soviet Russia! What besides a constant bombardment of socialist propaganda would make the inhabitants of Oblivion so smart? What besides the excellent socialist education system would make everybody able of answering any question you have about any subject at any time? And what besides the great communist ethic of the whole mankind as a brotherhood would guarantee that you will never betray or be betrayed and that you will never be misinformed intentionally about any question you make?
In Oblivion, the NPCs are smarter than YOU!!

Do you really think that's any fun?
REALLY?

Now that's good news.

I wasn't bothered by Bioshock's quest compass, because I never had it on.

But there was that GOAL on the map that was unturnoffable...that sucked.

There was a simple solution, I believe it was called not pressing M.

 

[JoeDirt]

i got a massive penis engorgement from the 14 min video. definitely buying this one. i will support cd project as long as they remain pc-only

 

[fastpunk]

A 6 minute intro! That's a record breaker. Still, it looks good, not very informative about the gameplay... but it looks good.
