Well, according to this CDP consider themselves "financially independent" and are funding CP 2077 and TW3 themselves, so if both those games suck(probably will) then you won't be able to blame EVUL PUBLISHERS!!!1111!!!

That bullshit again? Witcher 2 was already multiplatform on day one, they just couldn't afford to finish the XBox SKU because CD Projekt was nearly bankrupt at the time.

As a next-gen title, there's very little chance that TW3 won't be an improvement over TW2's failings.

I didn't know that, explains quite a lot.

I wrote about it here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...on-age-3-south-park.83835/page-2#post-2706741

Thanks for the link :)

TW2 was a good action RPG, and you are retarded. You didn't hit a nerve, I'm just allergic to morons.

Witchers 1 and 2 were also self-funded, nothing new.

By which standards where the witcher games decline? Even with their perceived failings they were good games.

If I were a pure combatfag I'd definitely hate the Witcher series, both rhythm game part 1 and rollamole part 2. I'm not sure what sorta fag I am though, so I enjoyed them for the most part in spite of the weak combat. Any game with the line "Your mother suks dwarf-cock" can't be all bad.

Anyway I'll argue in Astrozombie's stead:
- "They'll probably suck" isn't indicating certainty about an unreleased, unseen product, unlike "They won't [suck], you edgy fucktard", making it more credible.
- Witcher 2 was a decline in many ways from Witcher 1 (something that seems to be mostly agreed upon on the Codex, though how much of a decline it was is debated), indicating a downward trend, albeit perhaps a minor one.
- Most games suck.
- Games that also come out on consoles are even more likely to suck.
- These games are also coming out on consoles.
So yeah, assuming a fairly negative view of the games industry "they'll probably suck" doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, not enough to qualify as moronically edgy at least. Personally though, I'm a bit more hopeful than that.

If there's been a survey on this point me to it, because I would take Witcher 2 a thousand times before the original.

I tip my hat to you, good sir. You articulated your points a million times better than I ever could have.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'll readily admit that I didn't read through all the 'Dex Witcher threads again, I just was going with the general attitude I remembered. I recall complaints about potions, story (being too 'epic'), combat (though I personally disliked combat in both), and various other aspects being common.

Edit: Oh, I actually forgot an important point in my post:
- A wise man never trusts a potato. They made death camps, you know.

During CDPR’s conference, CD Projekt CEO Adam Kicinski said that The Witcher 2 cost $10,36 million to CD Projekt RED.
In addition, Kicinski revealed the The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 will cost CD Projekt RED $2,82 million for the first half of 2013.

How much a potato is worth in dollars? I'm confused, because CDProjekt must been doing some potato magic because everybody knows that open world games like Skyrim cost something like 100 million dollars. Even if Witcher 3 isn't as open as Skyrim, it appears to be pretty ambitious and the Witcher 2 has the scope of a AAA game that would easily cost 40 million dollars. Maybe CDProjekt discovered that the model of having 800 indians with a specialist in the the buttock, mustache specialist, potato specialist, barrel specialist isn't all that eficient.
