Preview Witcher 3 E3 Preview at Rock Paper Shotgun

[Onholyservicebound]

• Cities feel amazingly alive – You thought Skyrim’s “Radiant” AI was impressive? Or if not impressive then at least a cut above the mindless mobs that tend to populate videogame worlds? Well, Witcher 3′s variation on the theme looked magnificently natural. Children shouted and played tag, adults walked and chatted, fires crackled, water wheels churned, etc, etc, etc. It was so palpably alive. Our presenter noted that NPCs react the all sorts of things, too: the time of day, weather, Geralt punching them - every valid and rational human concern. Afterward, I went to a demo of Dragon Age Inquisition, and the difference was night and day. DA’s denizens were stuck in their tracks like they were born and raised in a vat of quicksand. No sudden movements. Really just no… movements in general, actually.

Wow that sounds amazing, I don't know how I could handle playing a game where Jon the blacksmith didn't go to take a shit in the outhouse every morning barring bad weather. DA:I's NPCs just stand there as if they're part of a video game and there to give you a video game quest that you can play? So not realistic, so not soul, so not immurshun.

Hey, fuck off meat.
The point is being made that Bioware is overrated shit. It's a point I agree with. I don't know about witcher, don't fucking care.
But fuck Bioware.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Yes, yes, fuck Bioware.

But also fuck anyone who values such asinine shit, you can make a point about Bioware being overrated, but it doesn't have to be retarded.
With this shitty value system we might as well just crown Sims 4 RPG of the year.

Look at my join date. My point is I've made that point again and again for over a decade now in a calm rational manner.
Retarded is all I have left.
And it's all you'll have left soon enough.
