Witcher 3 PC downgrade

Cool glad you showed me this video. Not sure if I want to buy it anymore.
Maybe someday. Probably after I receive a copy of KCD act 1. Maybe not.

Wow. So he claims that the camara/focusing issues he got are game related? Maybe he should take a look in the mirror to find the problem.

Finished the game yesterday and didn’t have such problems. He just seems to need to practice using the mouse to adjust the camera angle, that’s all. Besides that, it’s nonsense that you can only hit one target at a time.

He is level 5 and really wants to argue about how there is “no difference” in difficulties, because you can spam? Not quite “don’t judge a book by its cover” but not much better either. If they attacked all together or if there would’ve been archers he would be dead within no time.

Besides
 why does he act like a little raging child?

Because its his 3rd video of that game, because he get so much comments about ‘‘oh that is not true!’’ ‘‘you are a stupid man who dont understand how this game works!’’ ‘‘you have just made this video to show the bad stuff with editing’’ etc etc. So he made a 3rd video, that was live commentents and all to prove what he means and all. That is way he sounds like he does in that video, since he is so tired of ‘‘fanboys’’(I say it like that since ofc is not everyone a fanboy and all that if they like the game, but sooo many on youtube are)

So Im not saying im 100% agree on everything he says, but im 100% agree on his general point, its not fun combat system. Like in assassins creed its: counter attack, counter attack, counter attack etc. And this game is kind of the same, you do the same thing over and over again. And the enemyes just often stand there and watching you from 5meter away and talking about how they are going to kill me, but they just stand there(like in the video) Its sometimes like they stand there and watch me and talking shit for so long that I could possible have gone and made dinner and they would still just stand there when im back.

So that is my opinion, if some people like it thats fine, thats there opinion. But for ME its not a fun or good combat system

I are not talking about how many people attacking, but that NO one is att times(like you can also see in the video I posted)

I see what you mean with this. I honestly didn’t find this enemy behaviour (or didn’t notice) it in 140+ hours (please don’t judge me ;)) - but found some other bugs concerning NPCs.

I wouldn’t call myself a fanboy, but a dedicated fan of the series (games and books). So I understand your trouble with the game but I sure don’t understand most of the problems the guy in the video you posted has. Let alone his presentation.

Oh guys this thread makes me a bit sad.
Accusing the developer of deliberately downgrading the graphics and lying

Well you may or may not believe their statements they did over this, but it boils down to these points.
1st during the demo they presented the game was much smaller and unfinished. All run well and there was no reason to expect any downgrade
2nd however when they expanded it they had problems with their rendering engine and they had to change it. That means they had to omit certain effects which were no longer possible on such scale or were causing various issue including performance.
3rd guys, you must understand that during development you simply can not forsee everything and sometimes have to compromise greatly to make the game work. They did not see this as a big issue.
4th there is no reason for CD Projekt to lie. That company has good reputation for providing top service to their customers and I don’t see why we should accuse them of some shady practices. God they are even selling it on DRM free platform and the game does not require DVD present. Which big company does that these days?
5th and last
 If they find a way to improve the graphics, they will do it in future patches. Especially those particle effects etc.

Still decide for yourself if the game is worth your time or not.
It is at least worth mine and this will not ruin my experience at all.
Well it can’t because my 660GTX would obviously not be up to the challange to run the game at such details. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

PS: I did not read all so forgive me if someone mentioned some of these points already.

Did he seriously eat bread 5.15 midfight in order to increase the health level? I think I am too old for this shit. I seriously hope that KCD will deliver on its promise.

yep, eating food midfight is possible, and whats more \ou can even coat your sword in poisons and oils in midfight too.

I suspect that you could even craft in this situation but I have not tried it out yet.

Eat - bread - to - stop - the - bleeding.

Um they did and even admitted it themselves. You can go read through the articles posted above. You’re all just a bunch of fucking fan boys. If Ubisoft or EA did something like this you guys would be the first ones saying how they’re liars and thieves and how they’re the worst companies in the world.

Funny how you think you know me better than I do :smile:

Elaborate please. (20chars)

Oi oi russled jimmies much? Calm down, nobody is stealing your candy.
If you read what I wrote I did mention that they admitted it themselves and explained why they had to do the changes.
You know sometimes due to optimization you have to reduce features. And it was not because of consoles, but they changed the whole rendering engine so they can work with such a huge environment in the first place.
Or would you rather have it parcelled into smaller sectors with loading screen when entering interiors? I know I wouldn’t.

If you had bothered to read through this thread then you would know the reason people are upset is because they lied about the downgrade. We didn’t find out till a day before realise when many people had pre-ordered the game.

Yeah you’re not funny.

Oh yeah really, they lied? I still see no proof of that lie. The biggest mistake on their part I see is showing to the public pictures of an unfinished game. Which in the end proved to be an unrealistic vision.
And even if they then bother to explain their reasoning behind it you still can’t accept it and stay butthurt about it.
If you have preordered the game based on that vision, then tough luck. You should not have.

This graphical downgrade seems to be the only downside of the game. The rest is just bloody brilliant. The graphics still pleaseing, the story, quests and voice acting brilliant, the gameplay great as well plus Gwent. If this problem breaks the game to you
 well you should have returend it I suppose.

I bought it much later based on reviews and user feedback and I did not see any issue with the game final presentation what so ever. Perhaps it is also time for you to reconsider this atitude and wait for how the game turns out and decide after that.

This company has a good record of customer service, there is no reason for them to shit on their own customers. They are not that big company to take the risk in unsuccesfull projects. One failed project of this magnitude and they are finished.

Besides, I am quite sure in future patches they will introduce more features to improve the visual appeal of the game if it will be possible.

A completely different situation would of course be if the game was utter shite and this just added to the pile of problems. Luckily it is not that case, so let’s go back to enjoying the game.

The obvious question is, has WH come out and said they will not dumb down PC graphics to match console? If they weren’t releasing this on console, I wouldn’t care, but it almost seems like that is a new requirement from MS/Sony if you are also releasing on PC.

in new video, there is a mention about textures having worse resolution because of weak PCs, with addition: “especialy consoles”.

So theoreticaly speaking, were it not been for consoles, textures could have been better in the game.
Still it probably means nothing significant.

So you wouldn’t call that lying? CD projeckt red apologized for not being up front with the issue after the game came out so you know that’s called lying bud.

No one is complaining about the game its self but the devs lying and hiding the down grade as long as possible.

Not acceptable people like you are why games get shit out half finished and they look nothing like they did in game play footage.

In video update 11 (the most recent one) they said they will be turning down the textures so console will be able to handle it. Which confuses me because they said they would be developing a different version for each platform and not using ports.

you know, the difference is probably so little that making both versions would take too much of time in comparison to final effect.
Still no one said that there won’t be another version for PC. We are still in the phase of alpha and doing two versions just for early version would be kinda luxurious descision.
