Any info on changes in core team here( post Witcher)? Read recently Karolina Stachyra also left ( and is now working in Techland on new game), a damn shame, she's behind one of best CDPR's stories lately. Any way to look up info on who's working here?...in this stage, they should not be...

No, I'm looking it closer in context on what the game will be. If this was planned as isometric, turn based rpg like recent Wasteland or older Fallouts, I'd agree on most of your points. For this, closest framework would be core Deus Ex...with a far more expanded rpg mechanics including stats...

Nope...MGSV is single player tactical action stealth game and there are plenty of other similar examples, across genres. My advice is stop looking at labels and instead focus on mechanics. Then we completely disagree on that. Outside of basic stat bonuses, and linear skill increments, whole...

What I want it to be is a roleplaying game, with rpg mechanics adapted to the change in setting...from PnP to an open world game. Plenty of "old school" rpg fans do not see the difference between "dumbing down" and adaptation of core mechanics. But the degree of control that the player has...

But there is far more to it, than % success rate. RPG's are about decision making and consequences...from background, customization, dialogue, story choices, playstyles, etc, etc. I disagree...along with basic stats and skill increase ( and a poor karma system), they were absolutely...

No...rpg does not mean leaving character absurdly incompetent if he does not invest in required skill. It is too narrow and outdated concept, that works poorly in this setting. And there is far more to game being rpg than defining it with % chance for success. Like Fallout 2, for example? It's...

I don't see how, unless it's a matter of same person designing rpg and shooting mechanics. And for most (AAA in particular) games, gameplay issues come from incoherent desing and are beaten by a plenty of indie games, designed for a fraction of their budgets. Why something works in a specific...

Well, not exactly in the same sense of classic companions, but more that gameplay should be a background for player/npc interaction ( Keira is a good example). I don't think they could do it well here, if they go for gameplay support... too many playstyles for companion AI to adjust to.

Common. I'm not talking about wind factors and lattitude, only classic basic gunplay. No less or more than Bloodlines was a shooter. Solid shooting mechanics would make it no less an rpg...only a game that plays well. No, we shouldn't. Developers should first look at rules of their own...

But they will have a standardized shooting mechanics like in every similar shooter...rpg mechanics can change basic "feel" ( from recoil to retina) but not override bullet trajectory. No, it would make no difference. Player skill should affect animation/actions, but not the effect. If you're...

No...it is Exactly that. No "analogies" of "people tend to miss" can save it...unless the player is blind, it is a direct contradiction. It's like in Morrowind where you swing your weapon and see you've managed to hit the target, but rpg mechanics decide "Sorry, you actually missed!". This is...

Eh, I wouldn't agree with that... interactions feel too one sided, lack of sense of spontaneity, personalities that hinge too much on the player, resolve x trauma from the past, stereotype with defining personality trait perk approach. BW highlights them much, much more than others, but I think...

Dis/Agree with both sides on this one. Ideally, good companions are great addition to gameplay ( MGSV), but let's not kid ourselves: this would take a ton of work and it's far better to not have this, than it be done poorly ( and CDPR is still very much hiring AI designers). And having someone...

Lol...these people have trust issues.

Vanquish is brilliant because it utilizes similar mechanics done in other games in a way that forces you to always pay attention. You cannot activate slow mo with a button, it only works after precisely timed dodge/in air/slide. But those situations also make you more vulnerable and gameplay is...

Entirely up to them. I'm joking ( well, mostly) about this of course, but they could definitely learn a few pointers from greatest action game of all time...controls and how to design coherent, complex but easy to grasp gameplay systems, above all else.

Rowley, my man, are you playing this? I think I speak for all of us, would be great to have something similar here. ;)

His movies are best when character shines in the most banal of conversations Something like this, instead of Mass Effect: I am an Asari huntress, I am an Asari huntress...did I tell you I'm an Asari huntress? :P

It's not a matter of "resources", it's more about dynamic and scope of the game, coordination of dev team. There is far more to it than "dumbing things down". And majority of people, like it or not, actually prefer quest markers. Point is, they can find a compromise here, regardless.

I wasn't referring to quality of world design, but how it's narrative structure and gameplay was related to it. If they're going for sandbox experience, they cannot design them without taking it into account. But, they're designing this based on some design principles of those games...they're...
