That tech demo was by Nvidia, not CDPR, and was never any kind of commitment regarding the game. Which makes it totally off-topic for this thread, which, looking at the title, is "Interviews and Articles 2015".
I completely disagree. For me, The Witcher is like the real world only when you look at the characters, their emotions, their environments, their politics, and how these things are shaped. In a metaphysical sense, its full of ridiculousness (that I love). If Dragons existed in the real world would you expect them to speak to you telepathically and transform into human in the blink of an eye? Did I miss the science that explains that? I'm not too familiar with Star Wars, but if I were to compare to popular media itd be somewhere between ASOIAF and LOTR, leaning much closer to LOTR in terms of how grounded its fantasy elements are.
Oh man. You must have tough time playing many games.I still can't get into DAI or TW2, they aren't real enough
I mostly agree with you, and personally I also think that the characters aren't always believable, either. I feel that we're so happy to consider TW a "gritty, realistic franchise" that we ignore just how its fantasy elements are sometimes the stark opposite. People shrunk into statues, a guy who becomes a hedgehog until midnight, Yennefer turning a cart of soldiers into frogs, genies granting wishes, a siren giving up her tail for legs, and that's just off the top of my head. TW has its nasty politics, conniving characters, betrayal, death, anguish, racism, etc. But it also has its fair share of whacky and extravagant fantasy elements, to the point where I believe that saying X fantasy element makes sense but Y doesn't is almost arbitrary and based on a person's personal preferences, no "inner logic of the universe". As a side note, I never got the feeling from the books that magic has some strict structure. I always felt that it did whatever Sapkowski felt was cool for the story.
In the video they used clubs, maces, morgensterns and daggers as an examples.I remember seeing an interview a few months ago and they said Geralt would use only swords since witchers were swordmasters and to be loyal to lore etc etc... it seems this has changed
So we'll have war axes and maybe spears? i can't wait to see this.
lol.. I mean from a combat stand point, after seeing TW3 it's hard to want to play anything else.
Oh. This way. Yeah. I know what you mean.lol.. I mean from a combat stand point, after seeing TW3 it's hard to want to play anything else.
Well said, I totally agree. There are some characters and outcomes that are a bit contrived. Thats part of the fear I have with the Wild Hunt and Ciri's prophecy since we can quickly end up in well worn out narrartive territory.
Have you tried Dark Messiah: Might & Magic?lol.. I mean from a combat stand point, after seeing TW3 it's hard to want to play anything else.
I wouldnt, First place I saw it was Guild Wars and it got a lot of praise. The TW3's doesnt sound too similar anyway since its just enhancing your existing skills.
Blaming consoles doesn't make any sense in this case, because it's nothing like the quick access skill slots from Dragon Age or Mass Effect games. If you had to activate this skills in combat then yes, the limited console controls would be a reason for that. But since all the skills are passive and number of slots is strongly connected to the character progression, it doesn't look like a gameplay design decision that was related to the consoles limitations. Hell, in this thread some console users complained that this system seems too complex and going with the classic character progression would be much easier. And I disagree that it's not tactical at all, I see a lot of potential in this system depending on how varied and useful all the skills will be.
That game , even still today, has the best first person melee combat ever. I seriously recommend anyone that likes melee sword combat to play that game.
) when someone tries to fry stone gargolyes. Actually there is no limit at all, just gameplay interruptions in the middle of a hunt.
But you dont really use the skills, AFAIK you kinda activate them.
