I just find it interesting that people always say Gameplay before Graphics , yet the posts show otherwise ....
Hi Guys,
I specifically made an account to join you guys in this discussion.
I want to show my support, especially for people like Kenjigreat.
I am an EXTREME Witcher fan. Played both 1 and 2 multiple times and read all the books.
CDPR was my number 1 group of developers. I admired them.
For years....And I mean YEARS, I have anticipated the Witcher 3. I expected the Witcher 3 to set a new standard graphically, just like the Witcher 2 did.
Not in the least because CDPR insisted until the end that the Witcher 3 would blow us away on PC on ultra-graphics settings.
I cannot repeat often enough how intensely disappointed I am in what CDPR has done. The game is qualitatively hardly any different on pc compared to PS4. This tells me something is very wrong here.
Saying that the VGX graphics are impossible on a high end PC is nonsense. Absolute nonsense. Look at the graphics of AC:U. They are marvelous and make the Witcher 3 look like a disgrace.
There was a time that PC games were made future proof, with only high end PC's being able to play them on ultra. Afterwards a downgraded game would be made for consoles.
Now, PC games get downgraded to be on par with consoles and CDPR joining the club as well as lying till the end that we could reproduce those 2013 graphics on PC, plus the review boycott on PC, just shocks me beyond belief.
I am so disappointed in them. I NEVER expected this to happen.
And in all honesty, the Witcher 3 graphics are nothing to write home about.
It;s the console players that are lyrical about it because they don't know better.
I have waited for years, and I have learned my lesson. I am, never again, going to anticipate a game from CDPR like that again.
You're implying the people who want gameplay before graphics are the same people who demand better graphics - and in some cases I'm sure there are hypocrites, but generalizing and assuming gets you nowhere.
A lot of people forget that these people are all different. This isn't some hive mind. You might see a ton of outcry for something in one place, but you can find an outcry for something else if you look elsewhere. There's always another side of the coin.

On the topic of "graphics", though: I'd just like the old blood splatter on hits to return as an option.
I don't , do you see me demanding from CD Projekt a schedule or telling them they need to release a Patch NOW? The developers need to take time if they want to respond I can understand that.
I'm just waiting. I keep repeating myself because people keep bringing up the whole unoptimised argument which is a very misinformed. Somehow thinking better Ultra settings would make it unplayable for the average user. If people stop bringing up that argument and claiming it to be gospel I would have saved myself a lot of time.
I actually did sleep very very well about 16hrs ago for 7hrs which I heard is good enough for most people.
The fact that this thread has 68 pages and a ton of views and the fact that the Most downloaded SweetFX presets contain the words Sword Of Destiny/E3/VGX/2014/2013 Shows that not just a minority of PC gamers want this.
I have always stated in my post I will not flame the developers or use yell the 'd' word . I'm actually just here sitting patiently exercising my right to post.
I'm probably going to be here on and off while I listen to music and leisurely read different forums/and while I'm not playing the game . So if you are sick of me , I'm sorry. Plan => Keep This Thread ALIVE. Developers need to know there are people that won't curse them out /yell boycott or threaten them and these people love the game and think the game can look better.

I think you are using a very weak strawman argument , I cannot speak for everyone here but I personally adore the game .
Its just that like so many people here I feel that this game could benefit strongly from how the VGX/Sword Of Destiny Trailers look.
It would really add to the immersiveness and atmosphere of a dark world.
Besides , I could spend 10+pages discussing the subtle details I love , the amazing sidequest , the time I spent with Gwent and how much I love the gameplay but I would be in the wrong thread.
Let me ask you guys this , if you haven't seen the 2013 trailers and such , would you still be of the opinion that the game could have looked better? Be honest now , if you had completely no reference to any gameplay material?
I don't regret buying the game twice , I got the PC GoG and PS4 Collector's Edition . I will still stand by this game being fantastic in the way its crafted. The attention to detail in side quest alone is quite remarkable.
Do I think this game sets the bar graphically , nope , I think Metal Gear Solid V looks better , just based off Ground Zeroes . My Personal Opinion.
I can understand people feeling disappointed and having negative feelings towards the game the 'd' word often brings that out.
I'm still in the somewhat great optimism that either a patch or mod/mods will bring this game to the Sword of Destiny Level that Wowed us back 1 year ago.

Yes it is a minority of pc gamers compared to those What? less then 100 people on this forum that share the same opinion as you is nothing compared to those hundred thousand or even million people that play the game that don't really care about this whole graphic thing. And for the whole we need this thread to remind the developers is just total nonsense, because the developers already KNOW this along time ago.
The game is great. It truelly is. I'm about 40 hours only of side quest and exploring the world trying to do many things waiting if a miracle happen for one huge graphics patch.
What I don't share buddy is that modders can bring those graphics backs. There was complex facial animation ;nvdia technology especially made it for this game and features like flexible water simulation ( using Aard) that no modder in this world can possibly bring back to life. Those asset are created by a whole team working years and they already made those features.
You can add more models ; textures draw distance. Like skyrim did but you never will be able to change some core drastic asset from the game ( like characters movements)
One of the things I truelly miss from the 35 minutes is the animation for example. Well I'm very glad we can all discuss properly and be polite each others. It's a really good move to finally reach our words to the developer. We don't need the patch right now. Just to know they will working on it and prove again Cd projekt love Pc gamers and would try to fix their mistakes
Yeah i think it would be different and that is how developers should do it now NO hype trough pre rendered trailer or scripted areas of one level.
I think that if the developers didn't show anything than this whole graphic thing thing wouldn't be so blown up.

This is getting very off topic , debating how many people care about this 'issue' is not what this is about its called 'Witcher 3 Graphics'.
If you are here to yell at us and call the people here an insignificant minority you are in the wrong place.
We do not wish to flame , or start venomous arguments.
If you do not care about this is issue , its fine , no one is bothering you. If you think lots of people do not care about this issue , you are entitled to your own opinion. We are here because WE care.
How would a Graphical Upgrade called UberUltra thats harder to run possibly make a worse experience for the average consumer. Years down the line people will Upgrade their GPUs , run this game at the settings they couldn't before and be astounded and praise the developers , its a WIN-WIN.

We can't bring it back to the Original Sword of Destiny level I'm sure , but If its close even 80% , I'll be extremely happy.
Well can you explain to me why I see on YouTube more than 140 videos of witcher 3 downgrade ( Somes with 400.00 visits ; hundreds and houndres of comment about this downgrade + more than 15 official gaming website that still talks about this matter + huge threads on reddist on neogaf + more than 20 Spanish and Latin American websites + jokes vide) you can blame and try to say we are wasting time but I'm pretty sure this discussion is more big than you think so Big than now moderators doesn't interfere with user comments they are more objetive and let discuss this thread in Peace. Cd projekt is more aware of how.many pre orders and bad image is letting this downgrade flow

Wow, are people seriously still bitching about graphics rather than playing the game. Good grief.
Its 1000´s of PC Gamer Dude. And much more dont write in Forums at all. My whole Guild is pissed off big time, none of them write here.
Yeah you know you said that exact line multiple times and im not yelling since im typing so i cannot yell maybe you if i typed in caps but i dind't so i dont see how you got the idea i was yelling. But what ever you think if you think that being here for months (If it taked that amount of time for them to release the patch) spending hours every day repeating the same line until they release your so called "UberUltra" settings than so be it no one i stopping you.
Don't engage in this conversation , please . The moderators here will consider this off-topic and it will be a valid reason to shut this thread down. Most of us know this , people who care and are willing to engage in civil conversation are here.
I'm pretty sure ULshooter is just trying to bait.
