Yes, you are an idiot.

i don´t think many people mind if letterboxing occurs during cutscenes or dialogues (aka "cinematic" moments), it only becomes more of an issue when it´s part of the rest of the gameplay.GMonkey said:You are like those motherfuckers who'd rather watch a movie pan and scanned because it fills your tv screen, rather than in the format director decided to film it.
No, it's you who's the idiot here.GMonkey said:Yes, you are an idiot.

If the fucking developers properly designed and directed the game's cutscenes and gameplay around a 16:9 format, then the game is better played in that format, regardless of the format of your specific computer screen.

Some extra space at the top and at the bottom of the picture demands different cutscene direction and different gameplay design? Because you will see a little more of the sky and a little more of the ground?

The difference between 16:9 and 16:10 is minor, but not so when talking about 16:9 compared to 5:4 or 4:3.
Almost 10% using 1440 x 900? Is that some sort of shitty laptop resolution?Von Paulus said:Resolutions:
According to steam the primary play resolution stats:

1024 x 768 6.45% 4:3
1152 x 864 1.14% 4:3
1280 x 720 0.72% 16:9
1280 x 768 0.67% 15:9
1280 x 800 5.17% 16:10
1280 x 960 1.07% 4:3
1280 x 1024 13.63% 4:3
1360 x 768 1.46% 16:9
1366 x 768 6.17% 16:9
1440 x 900 9.50% 16:10
1600 x 900 3.84% 16:9
1600 x 1200 0.90% 4:3
1680 x 1050 18.02% 16:10
1920 x 1080 19.39% 16:9
1920 x 1200 7.36% 16:10
Other 4.48%
It seems that a lot of people still uses 5:4 and 4:3 as well 16:10.

No. It's a 19" wide monitor.Raapys said:Almost 10% using 1440 x 900? Is that some sort of shitty laptop resolution?
Besides they are also the best to play old games.DwarvenFood said:indeed, always thought that my favourite resolution was 4:3. also, i would not like to switch to a 16:9 one, it just does not look good to me.
I don't think it's there anymore. The top-down view in The Witcher 1 was reminescent of the Bioware's Aurora engine.quasimodo said:Can you play the game zoomed out point 'n' click like TW1 or are you stuck with OTS with WASD key control?
Exmit said:'hd' , '1080p' and 16:9 are consolefags and are responsible for the decline
Spectacle said:I didn't know people were still using 4:3 monitors for gaming.

OTS. Only during fights camera moves back a little. I don't know if point 'n' click would work with the new combat system.

Hollywoodfags mostly, conspiring with jews trying to cut down on production costs to make an extra buck. Squashed screens look OK for large movie theaters but its absolutely atrocious for any kind of smaller screen.
