Conan did a thing about this.

The graphics seem to get worse with every new video I see. Weird.

I heard Iwinski is selling CDPR to EA. Next Witcher gonna be an MMO FPS in space with dialogue wheel and visceral combat.

Although once again it comes to mind that artificially forcing all these RPG mechanics in is somewhat detrimental to the game, and it would be better if they made it more of an action-adventure.

I completely agree. While reading your post, I found myself thinking the exact same, and then you dropped that line.

In fact, that's what TW2 feels like, a story-driven action-adventure with skilltrees. Maybe they should just focus on that, and drop the shitty, vague RPG elements altogether.

But it pretty much is exactly that. This game is very much like let's say, Ass Creed IV: Black Flag. TW3 has dialogue options, loot and plenty of C&C on top of that, and i definitely wouldn't want those elements out.

Call me oldfashioned but I'm pretty sure C&C, dialogue options and character development is precisely what turns an action adventure into an RPG.

I doubt Microsoft will sell CDPR to EA.

Fuck Telltale and their episodic shite.

Then why would anyone want those out? Action adventure games keep gaining features and RPGs should lose them? The fuck?

 

[Gerrard]

God, SSAO still looks like shit. I wish there was an option to only have it on static objects and not characters.

Nobody. I just took down your timid suggestion TW3 is very much like AC4: Black Flag.

Obviously, having more armour types in the game is better for many gamers' perspective, and CDPR clearly does not give a shit about book lore when moving away from it makes better gameplay (in their opinion). For me, it would be great if there were five types of armour in the game (Gothic style, woohoo) and if wearing breastplate would mean you lose enough edge to not be able to dodge those superhumanly fast monsters (which should one-shot you, basically), but I do understand that designers want to give people more options. Although once again it comes to mind that artificially forcing all these RPG mechanics in is somewhat detrimental to the game, and it would be better if they made it more of an action-adventure.

Maybe they should do what they've did with swords.

Steel for Humans. Silver for monsters.

Plate for Humans. Leather for monsters.

jk, it's shit idea

Maybe it depends on the mythology but aren't unicorns supposed to only let virgin maidens ride them? He should be all NO SIR, I DON'T LIKE IT.

For a brief second, I thought, lol RPS. Then it hit me that was more likely to be Kotaku.

Clearly, my clickbait detector needs practice.

This is so cheap and distasteful. Showing Geralts ass to attract all those Bioware faggots playing lgbt gangbang simulators. It's so fucking bad CDPR, you should be ashamed. Really.

No, it isn't exactly like that. I don't play Ass Creed (well I did the first one and it was a sleep-inducing experience so I never bothered with sequels) but in action adventures your character is more or less set in terms of power and ability while in both Witchers Geralt's power increases drastically the further you are into the game which makes no sense lore-wise. Standard RPG progression just isn't a good fit when your protagonist is someone like Geralt.

 

[Infinitron]

OK, I am pretty sure you guys are all talking past each other

I THINK what at least one person here is trying to say is that the game should remove all stats, but keep the C&C elements, as supposedly seen in action-adventure games like AC4: Black Flag.

Does it actually look better though? I know it's supposed to be faster.

Watch the video and see the bathing scene at the start if you think that's bad.

More or less, yes (though I have no idea if AC4 has C&C). I'd be fine with Geralt learning some new moves to expand his options in combat similar to Batman Arkham games but not much more than that. I don't want to start the game having to use 5+ hits to kill a regular soldier and end up one-hitting Dragons, I don't have particular fondness for such character progression in general but I especially dislike it in this case.

The unicorn is stuffed.
