How is Obsidian going to port that thumbstick waggling to mouse and keyboard? Are we getting another Alpha Protocol hacking-minigame situation? :)

I still wonder how dynamical real time combat can also be tactical
You can see examples with quality games such as Demon's/Dark Souls. Probably not Witcher 3, which is looking a lot more like Arkham Hunt.

Nice jrpg armor there, King of the Hunt. :M Reminds me of Golbez.

Just imagine the guy going to a blacksmith and telling how he wants his armor...
Oh you. Next time we discuss armour design in Bravely Default. You had it coming. :P
If you have to compare european RPGs armor designs with jRPGs, you already lost bro. ;)

Who said anything about comparing? Just criticising. :troll:

BTW, those pieces of armour are contextually meant to be blown out of all proportions. May I remind you that TWitcher games are pretty much famous for their exquisite item design?

Whoa, South Park, they really worked hard to create an unappealing trailer.
I'm looking forward for SP, I like the show and its low brow humor, but this trailer was just disgusting. I fear that every second thing you will do in the game will involve farting.

That was a particular combat spell Cartman was teaching the kid, who knows. In any case, the Paper Mario-like commands please me.

I'm just glad Obsidian managed to put QTE into South Park's core mechanic. Turn based combat would have been so boring and un-immersive otherwise. After Dungeon Siege 3 I got some controllers. So this time I'll not have to bitch if the consol port does not support free key binding. Yay, so hyped right now!
Actually South Park went from:"Will torrent, and buy if it's any good" to "Do I really want to even bother?"

Wild Hunt sounds and looks like shit. What's wrong potatoes, got no creativity left anymore?

I like how all the South Park trailers (and latest episodes the show) take a piss on Obsidian.

"...that some ass-holes in California haven't even finished working on!" (talking about pre-ordering)

Cartman: "Screw video games! Who fucking needs them? Fuck them!"
Narrator: "The South Park video game coming to stores soon!"
Butters: "Yeah, and if you believe that I've got a big floppy weener to dangle in your face"

"How badly were you raped?" (in a South Park game trailer, talking about the game)

They should of thrown a curve ball with the armor design and replaced all the spikes with penises.

I have a feeling that after the release South Park is going to add gaming pop culture to their "satire" roster, I'm cringing already.

@ South Park trailer
Great, more farting. Just what this game needed to convince me I won't like it at all. Obsidian's writers have clearly put a lot of effort into this.

@ The Witcher 3
All this hype for a one-minute trailer with a few 2-second long in-game shots. Wow. At least the city looks nice. I'm guessing it's Oxenfurt.

The whole trailer is made in-game.
