Seems like they increased the value of Ciri. Who's selling her this run?

Do you play W3EE with M&K or a controller?
Why teh fuck would i play Witcher 3 with a controller?
Wouldn't play an RTS with a gamepad, wouldn't play a racing game with a keyboard, wouldn't play a PiranhaBytes or Bethsoft game with a gamepad, wouldn't play TW3 with kb+m.
It was clearly made with gamepads in mind and mostly plays better with them. Though it still needs mods to get the controls right with either scheme - a huge missed opportunity with this "next gen" remaster.

I have played TW3 a bunch of times and never once did I think that it would be better with a gamepad nor did I have any trouble whatsoever controlling the character with a M+KB, far from it.

Anyone played the new quest they added? It's very good they even added new music for it.

Increase LOD distance is definitely having huge impact here. They also scaled back fog and turned off color filter. With some RT proper shadows and reflections game definitely looks a lot fucking better. IT was always beautiful game but this update really turned it to 11.

They released new patch (same game version). Did anyone try it ?

Just to note - as we've demonstrated on the previous page this is achievable with mods just as well.

I'm used to using Super turbo lighting mod to the same effect.

Even without RT, the shadows and selfshadows are improved... most of the time. Sometimes some corners end up looking improbably dark.

What I'm really ready to give them credit for is the integration of Brothers in Arms (the huge bugfix mod, they claim over 5400 bugfixes and enabled cut content) together with FCR. I'm currently going through these merges myself :)

W3EE dev said that he doesn't plan to go back and make 4.0 comp version of mod. Shame easily the best rework of TW3 gameplay.

Yeah, no amount of graphical improvements is worth going back to enemies with numbers on their heads.

Is NG+ good for a second playthrough? I know that I get to keep all of my nice toys and gold but is there still a sense of progression if I already have (almost) everything?

I love how they call this the "next-gen patch". Yeah, more like how the game would have looked like on release on PC if they didn't have to dumped the graphics down to make it work on peasant console hardware lmao.

Have they fixed the missing cutscenes or are they just going to leave it like that?

Your ignore list.

Turns out there were no missing cutscenes at all. The retard that reported that had mods previously installed, updated the game, didn't remove the broken mods, and his game got fucked. Later on he recognized it was actually all there.

There was no RT when TW3 released.
Consoles either way ran at low settings on release and they still do run at low with this update.
While people remember some of the assets that got changed and LOD getting reduced they kind of forget that initial videos didn't have any PBR and some of other assets were frankly ps3 era.

In the end game was one of the most beautiful games around. Perfect marriage of design and technology and still is and at the time of release it wasn't such murder house for GPU. IT had high reqs but you didn't need best gpu just to play it.
Game even at low with textures on medium-high looked excellent.
