Just passing by after several hours of play and very little sleep the last few days to say thanks to CDPR !
The world they managed to create, the stories that are entwined, the characters... It's a mixed bag of fun, epicness, intimate and touching moments. The whole thing is just mind-blowing. It just gives me a feeling of awe every moment I spend on the game.
Yes, there is little bugs here and there, yes I saw one or two characters pop in front of me. Some felt a bit annoying, like the blood decals issue. But honestly speaking, once I started playing, I couldn't care less.
Now I just read that interview this morning :
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-05-19-cd-projekt-red-tackles-the-witcher-3-graphics-downgrade-issue-head-on
And it actually made me feel truly sad for them. They've released their biggest game ever, definitily one of the best of 2015, spent years on it, and they can't even enjoy it when it is finally released. And all that because of some people spending hours and hours comparing every possible blade of grass and brick wall in the game.
Anyway, long story short.
Congratulations CDPR and thank you for what you achieved with The Witcher 3. I've ordered CE on console, digital for PC, world of the witcher, and pretty much everything that is available on the witcher store at this moment and I don't regret it at all.
Hats off, bottoms up ! :cheers:
Sorry but just looking at the 35 min gameplay is amazing how downgraded the lighting, textures , shaders..... draw distance, some objects are. It's the awful truth.
The game deserves a 10 IMO, but the behavior of CDPR changed, because of the downgrade and what was going on in this forum the last year.
The sad thing is i believed in the "philosophy" and everything, that they were the best and this game could be the best in gaming history, i said it here. But the truth i have to admit to some friends that i was wrong, this game yes, it has downgrade, and again i'm talking about the 2014 35 min gameplay video. Just found thins now looking at the video i had. I have the gerant screenshot fighting wolfs, that one from 2013 with amazing textures an shaders while i say this, and i get it, that build was imposible, but the 2014? then why those gameplays?
I no longer feel the same for CDPR, they show that they are the same as any other developer. But they at least admited the downgrade after the game launch, so late....... i understand the problems of development, i do not some other things. Moderation on this forum for example for any critic person only.
People in this forum lives in a bubble, no body says nothing wrong about CDPR or the game, everything is perfect and the world is wrong. Sad thing.......even when the game deserves a GOTY, it's going in the wrong way CDPR. People don't care. Hope this change.....
The game is a 10 for me, but even closing the forums or filling it with bots that says everything is perfect, wont change the trust that a lot of people lost.
I have a saying, when you love something, for real, some one for real, you don't say "hey , yes go on, everything is fine", you say what is wrong, what needs to be changed. That is a real "fan", i keep my admiration in a minor lvl , but i still keep it.
Good luck, i will got, deleted post, banned or something..... like always these days in this forum. Don't care.
