Eh, that cutscene was important. Eskel (the second witcher) will probably be the other playable character in Witcher 3, I think. Plus, I liked the final line - delivery and VA work was a bit stilted, but it sounded like something a competent author would write.

I have no idea what was happening in that recent Elder Blood tralier. It looked hastily put together, and bore clear signs of unfinished work, looking worse than Witcher 2 at multiple points. At the beginning, the peasant's adam's apple and hand were disturbingly low poly (as in visible...

I'd say the alderman VA did a fair job (apart from the ear thing, and the lame blackout that was included for some reason) and so did the 3 witches at the end, but rest of it, and especially Geralt's lines were badly done eg when he says goodbye to Djakastra, I have no idea who he is talking to...

Just watched it. Looking cool, but that's obvious. Voice acting is mediocre. Subtitles don't match what characters say (eg old woman saying "brother has turned" and subtitles saying "brother's turned" etc) The quest and its conclusion is obvious from ten miles out. Don't mean to rail on the...

You're right, they aren't there, and there aren't runcycles for terrain either (notice how water didn't hinder him?) Suspect they haven't finished recording all the animations, if their April Fool's joke is anything to go by. That's not a finisher - it's a charged slash that occurs when you...

Play Fallout. Specifically, New Vegas - stay away from 3. VATS is basically turn-based combat in an first-person FPS/RPG hybrid. Works great in scoping out your targets, and in certain situations (I found it extremely useful in sniping.)

I sympathize, mate. It is good, though, regardless of outdated graphics - this has Fable-tier ones, with blocky characters, but visuals hold up well. I'm going to disagree on the slow-mo, I disliked it in the video - it's criminal that it's not tied to the stamina bar, or an unlockable skill...

Use a mod. There's one on the Nexus that simulates gravity on both arrows and crossbow bolts. Mate, I said I can explain in detailed manner with facts as to why Skyrim's combat lacks depth. It suits the game, but it is a gross oversimplification and requires almost no skill at all. Then I...

You can fix the autoaim by editing 2 lines in an ini file. I leveled up enchanting and smithing, got an OP bow, and started sniping everything. Game was bearable that way.

What the hell? Play some good games. Recommend getting this http://www.gog.com/game/blade_of_darkness Best combat I've seen to date.

Dragon's Dogma, but that one's mostly for the spellcasting. Monster Hunter. Chivalry. Mount and Blade is functional. There's the new Kingdom game (forgot the name) that demonstrates realistic combat (needs a lot of fine-tuning, but at least it has the general idea.) Gonna disagree with you...

Upgrades are cool, and kind of requisite. RPGs have a great deal of progression in them, and upgrades have existed since forever. Same goes for upgrading a specific piece of gear. However, what I will say about the upgrades in OP's pic - that of the Bear armor (did I get that right?) is that it...

After turning it over again and again in my head, I realised I don't care. It's bad marketing especially with console war going on and the internet taking any shred of controversy and overblowing it, but that's for CDP to deal with, they brought it on themselves. From my perspective, the...

Because it calls for micromanagement. If you know that your health bar, and the resources to regen it, is finite, the player will be encouraged to take a more tactical view to combat, manage his resources carefully, use them sparsely and so on which adds to the element of preparation when...

Watched the IGN interview and assorted segment of gameplay. For those interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iAnxuTTdBw (bad audio) The quests seem to continue on the same vein (favor for a favor), which can get boring really fast, so I hope the narrative is up to it. If the player fails...

To your first question, they probably have not generated the loot tables yet. Basically, demo. Alchemy works like Dragon Age, you "discover resources" which are basically infinite, so you only got to find more. We'll still have loot, though - armor upgrades, trophies etc need it. Yes, loot...

I agree, it's a feature that undoes the point of micromanagement in RPGs - there is no incentive to not hack and slash through everything if there are no consequences of combat - it's just mob after mob after mob, and at the end you'll look just as fresh as you did when you started. But in this...

Oh what the hell? He was being obnoxious, but banning people left and right is not the answer.

No. Screwing around with timing when you're planning a worldwide release with physical copies is bad business practice.

Mate, I'm about as critical of the game as you are, but I've already noted certain techniques that haven't been done this well outside of tech demos. See - subsurface scattering. It's what gives those NPCs that real-looking skin minus the glow that was present in Witcher 2. Note also...
