I doubt he will do it, because his health doesn't let him play lengthy games.
He talked about inquisition in a past video. I don't see why he can't do the same for TW3.
He's sponsored by GOG if I'm not mistaken. Not gonna happen, sorry. Stick with his tweeter, that's the best chance to get a word from him on this subject.
exactly, and that is what i love about the witcher universe. it kinda reflects the problems that we've been suffering from for generations and are still present even to date !
and it is an artist's duty to use art to convey this and make us think of the state of the world we live in and critize it through it his work, instead of burying our heads into the ground like a freaking Struthio. i personally saw my stuff in my life, seen events happening around me, that reminded me heavily of the witcher. people getting divded over politics or religion, and wants you to take a side. sounds familar ?
just like geralt, i stayed neutral and basically told everyone to go to hell.
What exactly is wrong with that statement?
Saying that world of the Witcher is a mix of generic fantasy and a Slavic mythology/folklore is maybe not the most precise description, but nevertheless quite true.
Of course there is a lot more to it. Books include a lot of Celtic mythology and Arthurian legends (well W1 also mentions those), but also some of other European folklore. If I recall correctly, for example Bruxa was in fact Portuguese version of an eastern vampire. The point is, there were no Egyptian, African, Aztec, Japanese etc., mythologies involved. So Adrian's point is valid.
Declaring everything bar the Slavic as "Generic" belittles the sources, and the effort I believe the REDs put into their creativity.
Generic is hardly the word that springs to mind regarding where we're at.

thanks for sharing ^^
most of the cons he found apparently are of a technical nature, which were already mentioned in other reviews (clipping, framerate problems, the inconsistent quality of lightning...), but he mentionned the fact that the equipment get damaged way too fast.
i wonder if it's the case with all the weapons or only with the ones that have a higher level of requirements as previously stated by CDPR ?
edit: found this screenshot in the review http://www.jeuxvideo.com/screenshots/47776-2130687-0
check out those clouds -drools- *_*
dat lightning :look: http://www.jeuxvideo.com/screenshots/47776-2129769-0
an other thing, this website can be like IGN sometimes, giving good scores for barely average games (like COD:AW 18/20).

That's just mis-/overinterpretation on your behalf if you ask me There is no doubt that "generic fantasy" aka "Tolkien fantasy" is apparent in the Witcher world. He brought up the best examples: elves and dwarves.
He never said or intended to say that the Witcher world is lacking creativity or that everything in this world is ripped out of Slavic mythology or generic fantasy patterns. Nevertheless both are huge parts of the Witcher world, adapted, re-interpreted and fueled up with own ideas by Sapkowski (and to a lesser grade by CDPR). I get this notion of instant defense of Sapkowski and his world but I think it's misplaced here. It wasn't meant as an attack, not at all...
What @MadGeralt said. Adrian's goal wasn't to write an essay on the Witcher lore. If you demand from him to include in this brief description of setting every single folklore and mythology Sapkowski referenced in his books... well you clearly missed the point of his article.
skyrim has the same metacritic score 92 but for ps3 one reviewer gave skyrim ps3 version a 7 and said he cannot recommand it to play on the ps3 becuase of bugs,glitches etc
True. But I am talking generally, all the versions. The bugs were far worse on the PC, yet it still has bigger score than the PS3 version.
PS3 versions had some serious memory problems in addition to bugs that made it unplayable for many.
The memory problems where on the PC as well. The game couldn't even recognize your full set of ram until a mod -yes a mod- was released. PC version was a mess like no other.
What demand ?
I realise it's likely just a thoughtless comment since his focus was elsewhere, but in case he doesn't know better, if he passes through here my post thanked him but pointed to an element upon which he may like to strengthen his argument. After all, applauding the Witchers complex tackling of differences while clearly separating Slavic from "the generic rest" is rather ironic.
