    You can also set your graphics to 800x600 in the config files in your documents folder. I wish they'd have locked the aspect ratio so I could play at fullscreen without making everything look fat on my widescreen monitor, but if you want to go that route you need to play in a window.
    Yeah, it's playable. Slow and ugly (not too ugly tho), but playable - talking like 20 FPS or something, I didn't measure it. You need to muck with your settings tho to keep it stable. I think the hardware cursor made me crash a lot. it was that or Vsynch being off.

    The game isn't brown & grey but World of Warcraft is excessive even for hyperbole.

    Great thanks. I wish i could brofist yet.
    It still feels a bit slower than what it should be, but it is definitely playable now.
    I really don't mind windowed, especially for solo games, but i surely mind the lags.
    I even wonder if i can bring back some setting now.

    No console game without freeform exploration and climbing is sitting on that throne.

    Why does Witcher 3 think I remember all the story details and choices I made in 2? They should have an option for "Played Witcher 2 but forgot everything."

    Thanks,

    I bought my son this game today and am right now watching him play it.

    Holy crap, what a disaster.

    Consoles. Consoles ruin everything.

    I cannot believe they changed alchemy to a WoW-style chug potions in mid combat. Good Lord what a mess. Thing is, they dumbed it down so much it is now not a computer game but it's way too cluttered for a console game.

    Congrats, CDPR. You found the sweet spot between computer games and video games, where both's audiences are equally repelled.

    Massive Steam sale soon!

    The game is quite polished. But the physics engine is a little bit shoddy. Probably because of the optimizations (multi-core stuff!?)

    Also in the second video there is a moment when a monster is attacking another monster. I don't see that as a bug.

    Strange there's no real talk in the 'dex about this gem. Like it or leave it, it is hands down best storyfaggy game since Planescape: Torment which sets a cornerstone for future RPGs, action adventure games and open-world games alike, with quest design alone.

    I had more fun with this than any RPG in like 10 years.

    Yeah, but it somehow feels like a ghetto. :D By comparison, it's strange that rather mediocre, by the book, Pillars of Eternity should generate more discussion than this game.

    Welcome to RPG Codex ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Maybe there'll be more when Angthoron finishes his review. Especially if he convinces me to add it to the Steam curator :cool:

    All I meant to say is that Codexers are obsessed with talking about games that piss them off. Whether they should be pissed off about them is a different matter.

    We should also be pissed by the only great game that appear once a two a decade, as it makes all the others even more horribles, as we now the better standard exist.
    Without those great games, we would enjoy popamoles and not complain about their poor quality.

    This got 10/10 on Gamespot. What was the last game to get that rating?
