The Witcher 3 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[prodigydancer]

Funny how the codex loves to pretend it's all about the C&C, but when push comes to shove they are the WORST graphics whores.

Bro, don't be a dumbfuck. It's not really about the graphics, OK? VtMB and MotB weren't pinnacles of technology back in the day and nobody cared.

So it's about three things:
a) PR based solely on the wild imagination of the marketing department. "Hey, we'll tell you anything you want to hear if it helps us to squeeze that preorder out of you. We even got a demo here, see?" (Nevermind that the actual game will be nowhere close.)
b) Acute consolitis. FFS, even pre-release reviews are all based on the PS4 version. Not that I would believe game journos in any case but still it's quite telling.
c) Spending millions on ads and shitty tasteless trailers instead of focusing on finally making a good combat system for example.

In other words, it's about behaving like a typical faceless corporation stuffing fancy packages with AAA content garbage for the clueless masses and lying at every step. If it were EA or Ubisoft, I'd say whatever, they do it all the time. But we're not yet used to getting that kind of crap from our Polish friends.

the game looks pretty good. I haven't watched any streams or anything but from the little glimpse I've had I'm more worried about the difficulty thus the importance of the alchemy and spells. I gotta check the requirements to see if I can try to play it.
guys I dont understand shit about the requirements, it's all like XENON ABYTHRON 3,6 GHz quadro core..

Can my PC run this shit?

Inter Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2,40 GHz 2,4GHz
4 GB RAM
GeForce 8800 GT

I don't even understand what that CPU shit means, like is it 2 processors or a processor with 2 cores or what the fuck

It means your computer is antiquated. Time for a new one. That GPU ain't running anything modern these days at over 5 fps on low settings.

huh but it played TW2 just fine....all the new rpgs also totally fine on nice settings

Baloney. I'm presuming you have, at most, 512 VRAM.

Why is everyone complaining about the combat system before even playing the game? Most reviewers like the combat. It wont be a rollfest like witcher 3 because the dodgeroll drains stamina now, thats all i was asking for. Many compare it to dark souls with a faster pace which would be perfectly fine for me.

Rendertrailer:

Kinda reminds me of the Rendertrailer from the first game. Pretty decent if you ask me.

It seems that a lot of people played The Witcher 2 with 8800gts,dual cores and worked pretty good.

I can't seem to find more informations about The Witcher 3 Direct X requirement,on every site the minimum req is DirectX 11 so a 8800gt is a no go.

 

[Dreaad]

Does it come on floppy or do I have to upgrade to cd drive?!

Most reviewers like the combat.

Most reviewers like the combat.

Reviewers are our only source of information about the feel and balance of the combat. You guys rather listen to some few negative reviews than to many positive ones. You disregard the opinions of game journos? Fine, but then dont get all upset because some of them didnt like the combat.

Just remember Angryjerks rage on the Risen combat. Most of them are just too drunk/stoned/retarded to hold a controller properly.

 

[Dreaad]

That's the thing though.... the more reviewers hate combat.... the better the chances are of good combat. Reviewers also liked DA:I combat and PoE and Ass Creed.

 

[Makabb]

Pc Ultra settings.

Even playing with mouse and keyboard. I think anyway.

I wonder how it will look with 'uber' and why they didn't put the 'uber' in the options, only to tweak in xml ?

 

[Astral Rag]

Is there any way to disable this "x Brofists this." crap from being displayed? It's getting on my nerves.

Reported for brofist harvesting.

GTX 960 for low @ 1080?
I'm not even going to try with my 680.

 

[Infinitron]

Like I said earlier, really wouldn't surprise me if that's BS

 

[Makabb]

The best thing is the fact that Nvidia just confirmed that 'uber' settings are real by posting this.

And we haven't even seen a single screenshot or video with max settings on pc (not counting the pre-downgrade)! Microsoft must have paid a lot of doritos to CDP to hype the shitty console version.

That's bullshit. Steam min specs look more realistic

• Processor:Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz / AMD CPU Phenom II X4 940
• Memory:6 GB RAM
• Graphics:Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 660 / AMD GPU Radeon HD 7870

960 occupies 3 settings though.

Keep in mind those are min specs.

Will be glorious if Nvidia system specs are real and the game will run shit on PC's for everyone, the butthurt will flow.

Do you guys think this game could be a decent medieval Red Dead Redemption substitute? I don't care much for the witcher lore and all that and barely played games lately. But seeing those screenshots on horse etc. it looks like it could be some relaxing pastime enjoying the atmosphere and such.

Dude,680 is on par with a 960 and sometimes even better,it's still a pretty good card.
