hi, that's always the better thing to do, but I wanna take a stand for MM here. the german interview does not come across as that negative, I mean OK, he does compare the game to G3 but that is only because that will be the case for every interview he had/will haveto do: comparisons to G3 and ES3. he doesn't say exactly: it's crap. only it got bugs and theWitcher has less already. Additional to that we know that reporters like to point something like that out, cause its "controversial" and most of the time game reviewers have no mind of their own so they can only compare to existing games instead of building their own opinion. ZE GERMANS CAN TAKE IT ! (says an austrian, hehe). If you promote in the USA you should go intofull "AWESOME" mode, only using superlatives and giving the "I'm so excited" impression all the time. you know, like it's the 2nd coming of christ and everyone should preorder ---->to the community:glad to be of any help....can I have my polish edition with english subs now ? or just a demo ?Dziadu said:Hey Powaz! We absolutely agree with you. I will talk to Michal Madej (chief designer) not to say anything like that anymore. This piece was done when Michal was in Germany on special press tour. It's probably his private opinion that was used by journalist. You're right, it's not nice (especially keeping in mind the fact that many of CD Projekt's crew are big fans of Gothic series!) and it's not professional above all else. Thanks for your opinion Powaz!Dziadu said:No I am not a Gothic 3 fanboy...The game is realy crapy ,but to say things like "I'm better than you" is not very nice
Yep, I am bored with easy fights like it is in Oblivion for example. I hope difficulty level will be balanced.YarpenZirgin said:i like the part with difficulty level... Just hope that fights will be well balanced, cause if you can't change their difficulty they might be too easy/difficult... I still remember KOTOR. I finished this game with no deaths. And no, i wasn't playing on "easy"
Why do you excuse him? He didin't even understand what Michał Madej said. He wasn't saying anything about how much better The Witcher is, he just said TW is more bug free then G3.Gothic 3 is a broken game, so it must be obvious.Dziadu said:Hey Powaz!

Simply too much courtesy . Moreover, it was PC Games, that came with those comparisons between Witcher and Oblivion/Gothic 3, so why Michał Madej shouldn't compare bug problems in both cases? And of course PC Games changed a quotation "quite a bit", probably to make it more cocky to german readers .MasPingon said:Why do you excuse him? He didin't even understand what Michał Madej said.

I'll tell you why guysThere's one simple unofficial rule among game developers - you shouldn't criticize other people hard work. Guys from Gothic team did huge job and truly, we don't know why they had bugs in final product (possibilities are endless: i.e publisher madly pushing the release). Also, "The Witcher" is still in development... So, it's unfair to criticize finished game (Gothic) when you still didn't finish yours That's simple.CDP RED just want to be fair. Moreover, I don't suspect Michal Madej tried to say that G3 is a crap. He probably compared two games just because he wanted to mention strong points of our game, not to criticize G3.Brysiu said:so why Michał Madej shouldn't compare bug problems in both cases?
that's a good and true point. I think it just sounds worse than it was meant in the article. I don't think Michal Madej wanted to conciously belittle the work of the gothic team.I think it will be very hard in the future, especially when the game release date draws nearer, to avoid all the comparisons to G3 and ES3 and your PR people will haveto take extra care to NOT sound like bashing Gothic and Oblivion. Well, don't go to hard on him, he's a game designer, not an Neuro-Linguist, fcsDaerdin said:But you have to admit that giving strong points of one product you tell at the same time that the second product is worse and somehow criticise it But nevertheless I agree with you Dziadu.
Kamano said:Yes, the bold text could be interpreted wrong. Hey what about putting that phrase on the Witcher cover?
Will be consured. I don't know why but in Germany everything gets censored even it makes no sense ;DKamano said:Yes, the bold text could be interpreted wrong. Hey what about putting that phrase on the Witcher cover?
I bet you mean 'censored', cause consured is making no sonsu at all! ;DBesides that: true! At least related to computer games.PetraSilie said:Will be consured. (...)
