You can set the difficulty up and down while playing. Choose what you feel suits you.

Nope..they confirmed it on the IGN livestream. Also there is no unique gear for Death March.

I'm not sure if they will patch in an insane difficulty (that has permadeath) , but we shall see.

The single thing that stood out to me was the pop-in of the Lateen sails on the royal barge. As they are so prominent, they really need a LOD culling depth similar to the nearby buildings or hull of the vessel, rather than the details on the ship...

Noticed it in several streams, and videos from the reviews and official publicity... Hopefully it attracted enough attention to be flagged and fixed during the first few patch cycles. There will probably be a few other elements like that which stand out too, but so far not seen any.

I noticed them too, in fact I noticed a quite a few large object that have a terrible pop in. It is so strange, the trees for example have an excellent pop in range mostly where say in Skyrim they would appear right in front of you sometimes, but the huge arse sails just spawn out of nowhere in TW3, also some big parts of buildings (when approaching the harpy nest tower in IGN stream).

It seems slightly better on PC, but for a big city Novigrad still feels kind of sparsely populated. This is literally the only graphical issue that I've found worth mentioning so far, since crowds are such an important part of the feel of a city in a video game. They don't even have to be Assassin's Creed style giant masses of people, just maybe 20-40 people on screen at any given time. I hope that there's still such people density in some parts of the city.

Why the **** are we having this conversation. How ubsurd have things become really? "They're pixels"

I can't take gamergate or feminists seriously anymore.

" Oh! Won't someone think of the Pixels! Take GTA V off the shelves! The pixels of NPCs are being harmed!"

"The pixels are being exploited!"

Jesus if anyone thinks like this, like honestly thinks like this GTFO this planet - - - - - >

On that note, if you see any review sites going down the path of this

"Won't someone think of the pixels" rhetoric call them stupid, move along & give them a darwin award for participation in life.

I'll break it down for you.

In essence Gamergate & feminists & review sites that mix the two (you know who you are)

Are essentially doing this.

"Won't someone think of the 10101's!"

"101101 is being exploited!"

GTFO. If you're a review site pulling this crap in Witcher 3 reviews idiots.

Talking about the **** they're trying to pull with "Ciri this & Ciri that violation of rights mixed in reviews"

It's make believe, stop taking acid.

This made me lol. What I found even more amusing, is the fact you're actually trying to reason with these people ;p

Someone needs to tell to whoever wrote that Polygon review that there is a difference between a game being misogynistic and a game portraying a misogynistic world. According to that review's logic, Schindler's List, Green Mile, Selma, 12 Years a Slave etc. are all disappointments because they are all racist.

JUUUST before we divert into some Gamergate thing, let's keep in mind this is for discussing the content in the reviews, not sharpening your particular prejudice-axe.

Stay on the non-deleted side of that line, please.

BLESS WHOEVER AT CD PROJEKT DECIDED GERALT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DRAW THE CORRECT SWORD WHEN COMBAT STARTS

I agree with this, it's a dumb choice.

The Witcher 3 has been greatly simplified. While potions and oils are still present and occasionally necessary, the need for preparation is mostly gone on the default difficulty. Geralt can swing his sword without getting tired, and signs are tied to the same stamina as basic physical actions like dodging.

Well, this is bad if true.

How? On the contrary to the claim, it is not a simplification at all, but added complexity. In TW2 dodging did absolutely nothing to your stamina and you still cast Signs out of the same pool you parried from, and I see no reason why that should have been changed.

That reviewer noobed out. That part really wasn't simplified. It grew in complexity and was re-balanced. I think he is comparing Witcher the Souls. :hai:

Going dark, btw. Seeing way too many spoilers everywhere, even before clicking on youtube videos.

Actually that was addressed in the review, let us not forget that reviews and games are made by people and people have their own bias.

What I got from the review was, it is a misogynist world with some good critiques in lore but not enough to balance it. The example of the male character criticizing one female character armor being too open in The WItcher game, is as silly as Iron Bull(naked) saying to Cassandra(fully dressed) that she has good taste in armor, and not the bikini nonsense.

It did the same a lot of the time in TW2, it just got it wrong occasionally.

Because it seems that, without any vigor decreasement, you can spam dodge and roll, and this is an exploit to win all the fight (as I've read in other review). And that you don't need the alchemy.

There was never any need for potions or oils on the default difficulty in a Witcher game.

And I never said that in TW2 it was good. It was just acceptable because in a linear HUB patter RPG, the enemy encounters are not so frequently.
But I still prefer how it was managed in The Witcher 1.
