Maybe people actually liked Skyrim? I mean most "people" I know certainly did. And I enjoyed the game during it's first 30 hours before the "wow" effect wore thin.I wish more people would call Skyrim for what it is. I don't know why we've created some rule in this industry where you can't ever say anything but politically correct praise or else you're being unfair to whoever made what you're criticizing. Shit, someone has to do it if the gaming media and reviewers are not going to be fair and label all of Skyrim's faults and just give it 10s and countless GOTY awards.
Those votes are probably made by nintendo fans or j-rpg fans.;pI find more surprising how popular is the last one.
What's that? People with anger issues?
"YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT THAT AWESOME LOOKING GAME!"
Everyone at DICE was trying to come up with new ideas and figure out where gaming's going, and (I guess unsurprisingly) his answer was more graphics.

"After yesterday's PlayStation Meeting we can finally promise: The Witcher 3 is coming to the PlayStation 4"
What is it about the series everyone likes?
So you just entered Vizima, essentially just passed the tutorial.I played a bit of the first one and got bored once I reached some sewers.
Nothing. Just walk away from this thread.For some reason I bought the second game on the steam sale, but haven't tried it. What is it about the series everyone likes?
Looks like CD Projekt RED got early access to PS4 dev kit, and, as they said already, REDengine 3 is "next-gen ready". Wonder if that means X720 too or if it depends on similar-to-PC architecture.
Oh man. First Witcher on playstation. Is MS doing something?

non-linear story
There's no mystery here.
They already stated the game is going to be on "any high end platform".
It has already been confirmed for a simultaneous release across all three platforms.

No black and white, good or evil decisions in the game. Choices often impact things later in the game that you don't realize when you're making them. So you can't make a decision, then immediately reload and make the other decision to see which result you like better.For some reason I bought the second game on the steam sale, but haven't tried it.

I agree with this fine gentleman/gentlelady on anything.The writing and complex character. I'll add the incredible use of politics. I've never played a game that politics used so well. Kings are bastards, men in power are ruthless and it feels like a true low fantasy game. It makes me wish CDPR could've made the Game of Thrones rpg.
The gameplay is fun but a bit...wonky but the writing is incredible. I do think Obsidian is sitll better but so far CDPR has managed to really improved since the first game but unlike Obsidian they actually have the money to make their games look great and perform well.
I played a bit of the first one and got bored once I reached some sewers. Game felt horribly linear and the story wasn't enough at that point to hold my interest.

The port, per se, is very likely to be all sorts of awesome, my only concern is that the game feels consolized as TW2 did, with menus that aren't optimized for K&M, shitty list inventories, not being able to map signs to keys, etc.Wooohoo witcher for ps4. Im always scared about PC Ports though.
But I live CD projekt red.
Here go my hopes for this game...

Wat?
I assume its the "game is gonna be consolized/dumbed down" mindset
.That already happened for Witcher 2, so everyone should suck it up at this point.

Not dumbed down but consolized.The Witcher 2 was dumbed down? Wha?
Not dumbed down but consolized.
edit: I'm saying not dumbed down since mechanically The Witcher games were never too complicated to begin with.
I've been saying that (and flamed for it) for a while now. But I think the dumbing down in that game was small enough to still be acceptable. There's always a small but ok level of streamlining in a game, the problem is most people take it way too far for the console audience. To the point where it's no longer any fun to play because it's too simplistic.
I still don't understand--how was it consolized? I certainly don't feel that, if it was, it was done at the expense of PC.

It was streamlined, which in TW2's case was a good thing because TW1 had a lot of clunky and unnecessarily difficult obstacles to enjoyable gameplay.
So in a sense it was "consolized" but only to a degree. It obviously didn't sacrifice a lot of things that make the series great. Just the annoying bits.
It's a little more tailored towards gamepad controls, I guess. But that's less due to consoles and more due to the rise of gamepad support between 2007 and 2011. TW1 isn't any deeper than TW2, combat-wise it's a lot less demanding.
