the_mess Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I just installed the Day 1 patch and will try the game a bit later. I am running 8350 + R9 290 so I don't expect any trouble lol.
ToJKa Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I hate wolves ... How are the Murder Bears? Witcher 2 just doesn't on my system good, but it sounds like this would be better?

It took me 5 hours to download it LOL I sat up till 5am.. games... -C Now I have to say, looking at my rapidly (well, relativly to downlaoad ^^) filling installation-bar from DVD ... I am glad I went retail though not much of worth beside a soundtrack-CD and a nice map I probably lose soon anyway
Redflyingmonkey Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Only thing I find really annoying so far are the armors. The first armor tiers look really, really, reaaaally dumb. Kind of renaissance style outfits, with flashy colors and stuff. Reminds me of uber-saturated Fable II sometimes ... Apart from that, I really recommend it to anyone who doesn't have it yet. Played 16 hours and still nowhere near the end of the first "act". Plus the maps are exquisitely done, with lots of details. The guy who was in charge of the transportation is a genius, the speed of the horse is so accurate and so effin awesome for once ... Most open worlds nowadays have some crappy horses, and you look way stupid clicketing on them for ages. Here the devs created a really well done path finder, where your horse automatically follows the road whenever you get close to it, and you just have to press A to kind of "surf" on the road, like you just get taken by it, while being able to decide whenever you want to quit it and go way off in the boonies. Also it has the best cut scenes I've seen in any game (not counting cinematics one, I mean in game cut-scenes), with amazing details on the faces, like a peasant playing with a loose tooth or a child puffing his cheeks to pout. Some stages of the animations are kind of stiff, but most are really smooth and really accurate concerning the builds of the different characters (a fat dude will walk like a fat dude, and kitty Gerald walks like a (hulk-y) cat, Ciri walks kind of shyly like a teenage girl, Yen more femme fatale like, Triss' animations are a bit more tomboyish etc... ). Also those are details, the story dudes, the story... First time in ages I play a game for hours while completely forgetting the need to eat, shit or sleep.
...0... Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Horse is great and world realy have good atmosphere to it. But some minor things like water textures some and clouds not moving just a painting is pitty. For rest im very pleased with game no small or big bugs yet some minor clipping tho.
Chaos63 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 You rich motherfuckers...I won't be able to run this in at the very least another year. Green with envy.
Redflyingmonkey Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Really feeling the learning curve tho ... 30 hours in the game now and I still get tutorial messages pop up on my screen . I accidentally skipped two or three once and found myself getting destroyed by a gargoyle 2 levels below mine. Loading the save back I learned about Oils for swords which enhance your damage versus a certain type of monsters, in this case for the gargoyle Elementa beasts. As well as "decoctions" which use a mutagen to give you some monsters attribute. AND special potions that protect you against a certain type of monster damage.... I mean before you go hunt a beast you have to do all this and then some (if you play at highest difficulty). Plus special crossbow bolt, special items (like torches, magical lamps ...), bombs (so many of them), enhancing drugs, Signs enhancers, perks organization, blessings from places of power, timed ameliorations on gear at the local forge... The crafting system is cool tho, the potions you make always stay with you, even when you consume them all you just have to meditate and they're regenerated. Horse combat is cool, amazing slow mo when you power up your attack, and with geralt's strenght if you get a blow in, the enemy explodes in a blood cloud lol. There are some monsters you can only kill on horseback too, which adds to the previous list. Quests are really well made too, just as notations websites mentionned it. No "radiant quests" other than Gwent challenges (a card game, halfway between Magic and Risk). Some quests are funny (an old lady asking a century old Witcher also accidentally Assassin of Kings, Butcher of Bukenia, to find her frying pan. Yeah.). Other quests are fucking sad (raped woman kills herself, becomes a spirit...). Creepy too (miscarried baby transforms into a botchling, a disgusting Cursed monster half baby half foetus, which drinks the blood of pregnant women and eats other unborn babies in their wombs ...). I even got scared the fuck out by one quest I played late at night, with a Nightwraith. Bitch doesn't appear on your "witcher radar", so she jumped out of nowhere a dozen of times before I finally got her, like those screaming pranks on youtube. It was fucking terrifying. So yeah 30 hours is enough for me to say ; 10/10 would buy again.
