Game News The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Revealed

Plant and grow crops? Livestock? What's this, simfarm meets witcher? o_O

 

[~RAGING BONER~]

are farmers and gamers fucking breeding now?!

 

[DeepOcean]

- Moving more toward romance and away from shallow sexual encounters

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Fuck you guys, I am going home.

Don't you know, casual sex encounters is sexism nowdays.

 

[Infinitron]

They just need to rebrand them as "hookups", which Empower Female Choice, or something.

You still have to play as the shitty pre-defined characterization of Geralt and I don't see how an open streaming world would make the game better. Linearity wasn't exactly the primary issue with Witcher 2.
Geralt is perhaps the worst character in an RPG ever. Even worse than Drizzt. And you are forced to play as him, and have him interpret your every action. I wouldn't be surprised if they continued with the misleading ME3-style "incomplete dialogue options".

"We don't want a producer from XYZ sitting here telling us 'Geralt - gray hair - that sucks'".

lol. Like that would be his primary concern.

The combat will be garbage, the mounted combat will be mega-garbage, the open world will be pointless and the character interactions will probably be as cringe-worthy as ever.
Scrap this shit and do something interesting with Cyberpunk instead.

Not if you are a woman, apparently.

You know, games have to appeal to all demographics and sexual tastes nowdays, those lonely farmers and their sheep...

 

[Carrion]

Not liking the open-world aspect one bit. I'd rather have smaller, tighter locations with more quality content than a huge world that exists only to waste your time, and if they're looking to challenge Skyrim, there's no avoiding that. Then again, TW2 went a bit too far with the cinematics so maybe that thing is going to get fixed now.

I'm not doubting that CDP can write a decent romance, as I thought both TW1 and TW2 were overall pretty tasteful in this regard, but I also want my sex cards back.

Worse than Drizzt? Boy, you must hate him.

In this industry? It might well be. If some focus group research shows some suit that white/gray hair doesn't "sell", he'll do everything to get Geralt changed into someone whose look is based on a photo model and voiced by Nolan North. That's just how the industry works.

 

[Minttunator]

So, crap already?

Given how much the game is already being compared to Skyrim it's really no wonder that the Elder Scrolls LARPers are starting to turn up. I think I'm going to try and keep an eye on the official forums - I wonder how long it takes before people start asking for gay romances. :D

Like a redgray-haired stepchild.

Nah. It's just the promise of mod tools making the furfags and yiffsters hopeful CDPR will supply them with models and textures to base their deviant abomination mods on.

Yeah, on witcher 1 and 2, you are more like a friend with benefits than some creepy Biowerean shit, at least the women didn't did cringe worth declarations of love neither had long dialogues talking about the nature of love. They liked you, wanted to fuck with you, but didn't necessarily wanted to marry you.

 

[MicoSelva]

So, I'm pretty hyped. An open world witcher game with no level-scaling? Sign me up. I just hope they go for Gothic1/Gothic2/Risen style of open world (hand crafted content) and not procedurally generated Elder Scrolls shit.

...The Elder Scrolls VI: Nilfgaard!

So, crap already?

Don't give up hope. We need to post some Codex-style opinions to counter this. And fast.

 

[mondblut]

But it was obvious that romances are in as they were in both TW1 and TW2. First one had Triss/Shani light romance in addition to lightweight fucking with bitches. TW2 has Triss and "moral drama" aka "to fuck or not to fuck coz Yenefer is out there and needs HALP". And the whole story about Geralt regaining memories is pointing towards meeting Yennefer (and potentially Ciri) in the third installment. Which equals to more romances and dramas.

Bah, having a turbulent lovehate with Yennifer didn't stop the book Geralt from fucking everything that moved, was vaguely female, and was not falling apart due to old age. Which why we loved him.

Stupid bitches and their sloppy "romance" bullshit always ruin everything. Mark my words, there will be an option to play as a female Geraltia in Twitcher 4.

 

[Indranys]

QTE??
Seriously?

Uhm, not really, considering that TW3 is the last installment in the trilogy. Unless they simply create another game in the setting with full character customisation.

 

[Commissar Draco]

mondblut has right Wicher is Mutant the geneengineered killer machine, the fact he has emotions (or LARP them) doesn't means he will settle down with some broad on the farm...














He's sterile BTW.

 

[DeepOcean]

Seriously?

Kayran fight says hello.

 

[Broseph]

Going open world makes perfect sense for them, given that Skyrim sold absolute buckets and half of the "hardcore" RPGers over on Bethesda's forums masturbate furiously to the first two games. Combining open world with storyfaggyness = .No level scaling is nice, graphics look pretty gorgeous. It's promising. We'll see.

 

[Lagole Gon]

Open world, tons of sidequests and a codexian girl in the team.

This may be decent.

 

[Rivmusique]

Looks pretty and I like the thought of an open world witcher game. Some chapter 4 Witcher 1 type villages with similar "simple" problems (and brilliant music, I loved river of life) would be great. It will be tarnished if roll spam remains an option (and a fucking effective one at that) for combat. Just be as enjoyable a blend of action and RPG as Gothic 2 please.

- Reworking the flow of combat
- 96 animations for Geralt’s combat moves (last game had 20)
- Game has a “weighting” system for the camera to help keep the biggest threats in frame at all times
- Combat system: three big changes to solve the problem of being locked into long animations
- Every button press mapped to a single strike
- Each move takes a roughly equivalent time to perform
- Can always interrupt your current action to immediately dodge or block
- Can block/dodge when out of stamina, but you’ll be staggered
- Team wants to make the combat “more intimate”
- “You don’t run – in the Witcher 2 you were running constantly. You walk, but your attacks are very fast. Your opponents also walk but they have charges and things like that.”
- Geralt’s dodge roll replaced by a pivot move
- It retains its defensive utility without game-breaking mobility
- Attacks faster than in The Witcher 2
- Enemy AI completely rebuilt
- No scripted boss encounters

mmmm I quite like the sound of that. Having limiting defence moves like that may mean the player will need to control how the enemies approach him be maneuvering effectively, minimising their ability to attack in the first place rather than dodging it all until a gap, chip at one HP bar, repeat. Hope rising.
