I like that fight. Very, very hard to do in Dark mode, though. His opening attack will deplete 3/4 of Geralt's health before he can get Quen up.
I think he dropped the material for the best armor in the game.

CDPR hasn't gone into what the day 1 patch does have they? I know it'll make the game run better but I'm curious if they attempted to target say certain things that cause framerate dips on consoles.

internal QA?
Really good preview, probably the best one I've seen.

Making sure the review is up to snuff.
And man, I've been listening to some of the sound tracks and this game's OST is absolutely fantastic.
Steel for Humans and Widow-Maker, just absolutely phenomenal tracks.

Did Jesse Cox specify what difficulty he played on?
I'd like to start on Hard, but these past few pages have suddenly reminded me of some of the less compelling balance choices in the previous games.

No indication but I believe you can change the difficulty at any time so starting on Hard shouldn't be a problem.

Ah, right.
I used that time converter thingy on the Internet but it seems that I did something wrong lol.
It'll be at 9PM here.

Oh, lol. I think I skipped that one on Dark, because it was so tough on my first playthrough (normal, pre-EE).
Agreed. I particularly like the callbacks it makes to the Witcher 1's soundtrack; so fitting.
I think the intro will be something special.
Good lord, the fight even on Normal for me was tough as nails. Those wicked gargoyle drops, in threes- eeeeeesh.
You just had to burst that bubble didn't ya? :/

He sure took his sweet time but this was likely best preview yet, plenty of new shots.
Game looks stunning as always of course.

Absolutely the best video yet and it has just made me want the game SO MUCH more... good god it's a week now... just a week, but I'm certain that week will be the most agonising of my entire life.
At least every day that goes by makes the game one day closer and the closer it gets the hype goes up and my palms sweat just thinking about it.
Ooooh baby I can't wait to show of my OT.

Nice preview.
Kind of odd he posted this awesome preview less than a day before his full review though...
I'll just ask this here since you all seem to be big witcher fans - I'm still rocking a Intel I7 860 2.8 GHZ CPU which it appears is lower than the minimum requirements for Witcher 3 - will the game not even boot up with this CPU or will it run kind of like ass ? I've got a 4GB Radeon 290 graphics card that seems to fit the bill nicely but that CPU is getting up there in years now.
If I didn't upgrade anytime soon would Witcher 3 still be playable ? I'm not in a huge rush to buy it because I haven't finished 1 or 2 yet but I'm just curious.

Please make sure the OT is beautiful and detailed. I have been disappointed few times with OTs for my most anticipated games here
It will boot up and probably run perfectly fine. i7 is i7, even if it's an older one.

Same as Dragon Age Inquisition, all pointing to good.

And it was critically well revived, and sold well...
Really only gets a lot of hate here. And this is coming from someone who was super hyped for it, but stalled out somewhere in the middle and has not completed it yet.
Point here being. There is no point in comparing one situation to another.

It's a shame, the political story was the best thing about witcher 1&2.
It's the first discouraging thing I heard about the game,though,so i guess I can live with it.
I think you got him confused with someone else, he doesn't do reviews. He does let's plays.
Denton

There will be plenty of politics, it's just that the initial story setup is based around Geralt's personal business. But you can bet Skellige and Novigrad will have politicking.

Oh okay, yes I must have. Thought I saw somewhere that his review was the first review going up, must have misread.
Thanks.
Jesse is LetsPlayer, he doesn't do reviews of the games. Getting coverage like this is only because events like one CDPR held for youtubers. Next time we see TW3 on his channel is Episode 01 of his LetsPlay.
Just to say; Jesse puts insane amount of work and has high standards for his videos, he is very rare LetsPlayer
Edit: beaten, but yeah

So... where are we now? Cox was the last one, and the question is, was this youtuber thing god or bad overall. Cox and Gopher were nice but the lazy viedeos of the rest of them just made me angry more than anything else. Also i was not able to understand many of them. Next time invite more of the games magazines instaed of youtubers, the Gamespot priview was really good and the Gamestar priview too.

There will still be a lot of politics in The Witcher 3. The devs described Novigrad as the centre of intrigue and there is also some shit going on in Skellige involving all the various clans.

I expect some cries. Either from those who think that the game is so damn good but get criticised or those who think the game is shite but get praised.
I think for most part YouTuber coverage was what I expected. Different languages are present which is good for local community coverage and it's what CDPR was going for. Shamefully there is some sloppy shit like AngryJoe's video, they come across as high as fucking kites and editing of the video overall is super derpy.
Gopher and Jesse maybe put most effort into their material, this 2nd video from Jesse maybe is best one out there from this CDPR event. imo
I think content like this is more personalized and has very different tone to it than stuff produced by IGN or GameSpot. Those two put that certain... business feel and look to their material, they feel so professional promotion. If you know what I try to say

Indeed. I think it was a great move overall by CDPR.
Gopher and Jesse definitely did the best videos by far. I didn't know who they were before this, but really enjoyed the way they handled their videos.

Are all the review copies the PS4 version or have they shipped out some PC copies too?
I'm hoping we get some more details on performance before the game releases so I have a better idea on what the best settings for my rig will be.

I dunno, I see it going either way.
If I HAD to bet though, I would say mostly very high scores, with a few outliers who score low for hits.
I don't see the combat being an issue. I see what makes or breaks the scores being the storyline, accessibility to both story/universe and mechanics, and technical polish (Open world quest glitches etc).
And any repetitiveness, but after DA:I I don't see how CDPR could mess this up, they seem to be really happy with creating meaningful sidequests and no more filler than necessary.
I think they're all PS4. I read PC copies get sent out either today or tomorrow.

That's not too bad. We might still get some early reports.
I'm not worried about my GPU (GTX 970), it's my CPU (i5-2500 non k) that'll be my bottleneck.
Gotta love this mentality. Your opinion different from others? It's for the hits.

One hour until reviews, unless my embargo meter is broken.
If nobody else has dibs on the thread I'm happy to do it.
