Lol at anyone who thought they'd do an entire story around each class.

The Codex was supposed to be full of pessimists, not idiotic dreamers disappointed when they learn that the game doesn't have as main story for each class with 350 different endings, all with Witcher 3 character reactivity and writing
To be fair, the game has been in development since at least 2013. You can write a couple quests in that time.

I think you need a lot of money and time to make multiple questlines for every class, otherwise everyone would make their games as Bioware did with the first Dragon Age, different starts for each origin. CDProjekt has money but not balls to wall money and they shouldnt bite more than they can chew.

Why are they showing it to some journalists and not to us? We will buy it, not them. Why don't just show it ffs.
WHAT'S THE REASON FOR THIS

If the game (which is like 2 years from release) was too bright or there were missing textures or there was some gamplay element they later decide to remove because it doesn't work well with other stuff - people would be outraged. Why make your customers outraged for no reason?

Depending on the scope of how much they developed the city and detail throughout, a comparison to GTA could be made not gameplay wise but in terms of scope. And GTA 5 was a game that cost 260 million dollars. Although that number includes marketing costs, it's basically the highest budget a game ever had.
I'd wager CDProjekt must have burned quite a lot of money just getting a basic skeleton of the game up and working and it's not surprising they didn't show much of the game before today and even now it's still not really anywhere near ready for release.

"The increased grip strength upped the damage of her guns, as well as brought up a previously-missing ammo counter."

seems legit.

the more you handle recoil, the more damage the bullet does

Maybe that was DPS, not Damage? That would make sense... a bit.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.

They have memory of a goldfish, just show another gameplay year later few months before release to make them forget.

True but first impressions still matter. It can be a cold shower on your hype if you saw the game in a half-finished state.

Professional journalists can filter out these emotions, obviously. They are professionals.

Here's the Twitch archive of the GameSpot interview if you missed it:



No classes, well, that definitely makes the game doable :P

Backstories... they ripped off the glorious Tyranny!!!

Defined character :negative:well at least there is chargen.

Translation - game is full of filler NPCs, either non-interactable or spewing 3 stock replies Daggerfall style.

Have you ever been in cloud district ?
They are trying to create city here. Not like Betsheda city with 20 people and 12 houses counting as "city".

Yeah, obviously that's necessary in a game set in a gigantic megapolis. But it's also nothing to be excited about. It's like saying "the streets are so bustling in AssCreed: Unity" - just a necessary fact, not an amazing feature.

Because then the only info you get is the paid journos jizzing all over it and you won't have some gaylord forum posters pointing out how it looks like shit.
Like with that secret quakecon D44M trailer that people were jizzing over which turned out to look like complete ass.

Also GTA5 showed zero gameplay until release and it worked out fine for them.

It kinda sounds like it's going to be full of samey "open world activities", you know what I'm talking about. That grind is suicide-inducing.
Last person to tell someone to cheer up but mate your posts so far have truly been suicide-inducing. Every single post of yours is so soaked with negativity, pessimism and darkness that they make the darkest, most desolate corner in hell seem like Disneyland ride on cocain. Also it seems you're forcing yourself to post, like it's not as if you say something with those posts yet you post them. Almost as if you're grinding Codex buttons.
