Seriously, though. Something like this is so heavily indicative of the sort of game you are going to be playing, it can't be overstated.

Remember guys, Mass Effect 3 did this too, with that IGN chick.... Whenever an AAA company introduces shills inside the game, they are not doing it for the fans, they are doing it for the shils.

Now begins the unavoidable wait for the system requirements reveal and shock when people realize it won't run on their toasters. Better make them suicide pacts fast.

People say that the fact lots of codexians will play the game, means we must love it or are some pozzed faggots. Well of course we will play the game, how else can you make your own opinion?
I will certainly not pay for the game, but I will probably try it out for a few hours, just long enough to get completely sick of the horrible first person combat animations, the flat shooting, devoid of good audio-visual feedback, the railroady missions with endless NPC chatter and the "pressing social issues" that will be force-fed down my gullet every other mission.

Some more info from interview with this dude: https://pl.linkedin.com/in/paweł-sasko-9a480231

  • Length of story is not normalized. They aimed at making the Main story a tad shorter than TW3 one since feedback they got suggested many players felt that after Kaer Morhen the remaining story was an epilogue - in place of it, they put immensly more work into side quests that do impact main story. Length of the story depends on your origin, side quests, characters you side with, your story choices and preferred play style.

  • Pacifist playthrough possibility reaffirmed - although the correct understanding of a Pacifist here should be not killing anyone - some violence will be present.

  • As far as relationships go, it's supposedely an insane evolution in portraying human psychic, behaviours and general growth from Witchers. Both one night stands and longer relationships, but conveyed in realistic ways. Just being the player doesn't open all doors for you - npcs have their own preferences and relationships are layered - From antagonistic, neutral, through friendship all the way up.

  • Paweł and many designers took great inspirations from VTM: Bloodlines. He was in fact a game master for the paper versions of World of Darkness for a long time.

  • Badlands is a fully explorable part of the game, not just a prologue thing.
  • life path is important not only for prologue and dialogue options, but also endings may differ

  • life path origin stories in prologue are not symmetrical (Corpo prologue is shorter than Nomads', but it's balanced so there are more elements to Corpo play-style in later parts of the game)

  • police might not intervene when you commit a crime in gang controlled area

  • MAX-TAC can hunt you if you go too far, but he didn't specify when they'll intervene

  • game will give you a clear message when you'll be closing to the endgame, so you'll have time to finish side quests, also you'll be able to come back to before that endgame state to continue playing

  • gameplay choices - limited number of slots to install cyberware, but it's possible to replace already installed

  • he compared cyberware to smartphones nowadays, sure there are people without it but its harder to live like that, same with cyberware, you might choose not to install such upgrades, but you will be weaker
  • apartment similar to Adam Jensen's (Deus Ex) - not customizable, but interactive
  • you can pet cats

NPCs having their own stances is "an insane evolution in portraying human psychic and behaviours"? This doesn't sound encouraging at all.

I hope CDPR realise whom they've tried to pander to all this time and finally say - fuck it, money is more important than some degenerates hurt fefees.

VG247: Well, that goes right into something else I want to talk about, where obviously you’ve got the cool stat, and you’ve got the classic RPG tradition of having speech checks. So… if you are mega, mega-cool, and you can talk your way through most things, and talk your way to a lot of extra information?

Marchewka: No, I wouldn’t say so. To be honest, I’m not sure if the cool stat changes the flow of dialogue that much, because we are not basing them on stats. We are purely basing it on your choices.

This is cool imo; mental stats shouldn't take part in narrative, we can reflect our own mental capabilities in a game tho they probably extended it to physical stats also :/ Well, at least there are skill checks in dialogue.

We haven't seen the real laughs yet. I've been wondering today - imagine someone really makes a male body type character but with female genetalia, so that he can trigger the sex scenes with lesbians. Imagine the animations intended for female-on-female sex executed with a model that's male in everything except genitalia. The memes will explode. :lol:

that's why CDPR decided to change all cutscenes to first-person view.

Other than the driving I don't see much GTA resemblance. Looks a lot more like first person Witcher meets Deus Ex HR/MD.

Game's still going to be shit compared to all the hype that CDPR and the gaming media have generated around it. You can already see that its staunchest defenders have preemptively played down the inevitable disappointment like the faggot who keeps editing this thread's title. When it comes out and everyone realizes they were hyped over nothing, the CDPRcucks will act as though the game was never meant to be anything special.
