Gotta love blind faith fanboism. 
So predictable.Original post: "Wow those cutscenes don't look very good"Fanboy response (you are allowed multiple choices):1. No it doesn't (the Emperor Has No Clothes syndrome)2. It's beta 3. They'll fix it in a patch (rriiiiiiiiighhhhhtt...*looks at NWN2 cutscenes, still broken and terrible).4. Act like the original poster insulted your mother.You rarely if ever see issues like this AAA games (FFXII, ResidentEvil, MGS, Gears of WAR, God of War, etc.). I highly doubt Mass Effect will have this issue. PS: No I wouldn't complain about a delay if they were fixing issues like that. I've got plenty of games to play to tide me over. I'm gonna hold off on Witcher for a month or so to see how it shakes out in reviews.

On some systems it works like a charm, on others several issues (like drastically dropping frame rate, items disappearing for a sec or two, out of sync dialogues) appear. I experienced those aforementioned issues but my copy was very stable (lunched on a low-end PC with XP). On the other hand my friend (lunching it on high-end PC with XP) had non of the above but he experienced three crashes to desktop within 5 hours of playing.The game definitely lacks polish. Let's hope the forthcoming patch will address most if not all issues.
AMD Athlon 64 x2 6000+, 2 GB DDR2 667 RAM, Radeon X1950 Pro 256 MB. Game set settings to MAXIMUM. Cutscenes slow down a bit so i reduced AA to 0 and AF to 8 since the difference isn't noticable or significant, and the cutscenes start being lagfree. The fighting is really great. The fact that you have to change your style a couple of times within a fight makes everything exciting and makes you feel as if you have a big influence on the whole fight. I play using the TPP camera which means that i use mouse and keyboard. It's great fun. Even while changing styles or fighting with lots of enemies at once i don't need to pause. The decisions are really great. When you start playing you will notice immediately that you have got many possibilities to influence gameplay, and quest outcome. Sound and graphics is great. Atmosphere is superb.I'll play some tonight and make screens.
what I take issue with the most is the lip movement, it is off no doubt. I can live with a certain amount of poor animation, but all we can do now is hope they tweak it a bit. The first thing I told myself when I saw that was that the lips were moving in Polish, not English, that's why they don't seem in sync. That's the only thing I can think of as an English only speaker, and I can live with that so long the gameplay is great and storyline and other aspects that make up for it.But I wouldn't go as far to say i'm disappointed, although it does hurt the game and I'm sure reviewers will make note of it. In all fairness though, i don't expect the developers to sync the lips for more than one language, in any game.
I'm playing. I'm not going to give you that omg i love the game, but IMO it is a solid RPG and it's a lot of fun to do those combo moves. The game has sam small graphic issue, same as all other games. One time weapon was in the same place as arm (look silly) and once in a while Geralt makes a moon walk. But the combat is solid and i had no problems so far. To sum up, if you're not one of those "Oblivion had better graphics" guys then you should buy TW and see it. It is worth the money
Nope not looking for a fight. Looking for intelligent responses (not fanboys...bleh, who needs em) and even better for a dev to say, yeah that does look pretty bad. We need to fix that post haste.Case in point Dozerking, Belewloid. Intelligent posts. Ashberry76 = Intelligent post ---> FAIL I've a very nice PC rig that I play alot of games on. So nice assuming there. Again, you FAIL.Dozerking: Yeah for me the lip synching isn't a big deal as I know they had to do alot of localization. I can live with that.But the body animations are terrible. Maybe it's part left over code from the Aurora Engine.Belewloid I'm not too worried about it. I've got NWN2/MoTB , Oblivion (modded out with a ton of high rez mods) and Crysis demo running very well on my PC. If they need to optimize I can wait.I do think reviewers will penalize Witcher for lack of polish if that's the case.
LOL. I hate people saying that!!! They don't want to even look at the gameplay when the graphics are not as good at oblivionKonrado said:I'm playing.

So I am one of 40 slovak fans who have Collectors Edition and my opinion is.....absolutely great. I can say that I am big Sapkowski fan and this game is a combination of best book series ever (IMHO ) and my favourite free time spending (PC Games). And this game is game what I was waiting for my whole life. Combat is very intuitive and performance is great too but you can see it above. What I am trying to say is that Witcher beats Balurs Gate 2 in my personal ladder and this is a proof itself. So what I am dissapointed with is that sex thing....-....I was expecting something like really clear and i dont know "real" animation but it was only h(o/y)pe....I have absolutely no idea why in USA that sex thing is censored or maybe WHAT they censored. But no....I love this game and I just cant stop plaing it....It is game what deserves 9,6/10 - 10/10. And this one is for m8s who were in Brloh for Slovak presell:Ak tu je niekto z Vas piatich, co sme vytvorili prvu skupinku fanusikov (typek so stolickou, typek vysokoskolak s ruksakom, typek s dazdnikom a ostatni, ozvite sa mi na mail darida.filip@post.sk mohli by sme sa nejako dostat do kontaktu a stretnut sa na nejakej dalsej akcii. Ja som jeden z tych co tam stali od osmej rano:-D Myslim ze minimalne jeden z vas bol na comics salone a kedze my planujeme ist aspon na Slavcon, Comics Salon, Istrocon(ak nebudu zas spojene...) mohli by sme sa dohodnut na nejakom pivku alebo co ak pojdete Tak ak to citate pls ozvite sa mi...

I can't unfairly judge this game because of this one cutscene when I've seen so many other ones that look great.
Yup, devs are reading thisMichal Brat said:
. We'll look into it, thanks for the report.
It's not only marketing, the game actually can take even longer. I myself spent over 100 hours on The Witcher already (finally able to play it - I'm near the endValkanis said:
). It's quite a long and deep game if you do all the quests, listen to all the dialogues and go after every fine woman . BTW: I work in the QA departament, not PR - so it's not like I'm getting paid for saying this ;D.Sweet.kalniel said:
You have almost a carbon copy of my rig (expect I have an 8600 GT and a 19' standard LCD [1280x1024]). I was worried that my CPU would not be up to snuff. Nice to know that the game will run smoothly on my setup.Thanks for the info. I am looking forward to this!Why? Why is the day only 24 hours long? Keep playing and no bugs detected yet. I'm a bit disappointed with the clones, but still it's nice killing them ;D

Huge guys stron sword style, small guys fast sword style, and so on Besides it not like goblins and bandits in other games look diffrent. The just have diffrent inventory
Besides it not like goblins and bandits in other games look diffrent. The just have diffrent inventoryI think new models for NPCs might be available in future, as part of new content patches(I've read there are going to be some). So maybe this little "problem" will be watered down a bitDaerdin said:
