  1. I think you're confusing romance and casual ploughing. Romance and casual ploughing can be terms that are interchangeable. I am supportive of both in RPG for different reasons but I do think they have some similarities
  2. Nice trailer and it only adds to the excitement of this games release. Keyrock its also good to see you asking questions around Romance, this is the level I want all fans of RPG to get to where we assume Romance will be part of the RPG journey. You can see in the example of the video where it would make perfect sense to Geralt and his own experiences, especially where he says " I'll be back later to check on things"
  3. So for me this trailer highlight everything I expect from an RPG. These include exciting combat, different monsters, varied combat strategies, interesting and aesthetically pleasing Romance options, gripping narrative and mysterious lands to explore. So this trailer is a definite winner
  4. Wow that is a very and harsh and unfair comment about your home country, didn't they get to the finals in the last world cup. They may not have won but doesn't the journey matter?
  5. For a country like my own, the Netherlands, leaving the E.U. would be like cutting off your own leg. We're a trading nation in the heart of Europe, it would be absolutely stupid. Yeah you are correct Jadedmeister, leaving the EU will spell economic doom for the Netherlands as all your important exports like clogs, Old Amsterdam Cheese and weed will be impacted.
  6. Nonek faced with all this empirical evidence I am hoping that you and others come to an inescapable conclusion " The great avalanche of Romance in RPG is upon us, let us embrace it with open arms "
  7. Yeah, at the moment this is my most anticipated game for the next 12 months, its ahead of both PoE and DA:I
  8. I concur, I was waiting for some feedback about this game
  9. For me I always admire people who want to play any anticipated or popular game in a beta. I never understand why people would want to play a game that has bugs and issues and also you will also know the narrative. So the surprise is ruined. I only play games 1 month after release when the first official patch is released
  10. Woldan people have given you some sincere advice but I think its wrong because of your personality. Most people won't go to a party by themselves for a number of reasons. Personally I am an extrovert and enjoy talking to strangers but I don't think this is your strong point and to be honest its understandable. Why would anyone prefer to go to social function by themselves when they can go with people who know them?
  11. Do you have to be a real ex-member of BIS or can you pretend to be one to partake in the reunion?
  12. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/06/05/canny-valley-the-vanishing-of-ethan-carter/#more-211511 Okay watch the video to the end for some action. The scenery looks good as well
  13. I would say we should care about pirating purely on the principle. Even if you don't think it impacts the revenue stream of a company the real question you need to ask yourself is actually a simple one " what right do you have to play a game, without paying for it, that a company has spent months if not years developing? " Thats already answeard, once someone have enough cash they start buying it instead of pirating, actualy if I never start playing pirated games, I would probably not be here today backing up PoE Okay so just to be clear on this point, your response to my question would be " yes I have a right to pirate a game if I don't have the money to purchase it? "

  15. Layoffs are never good news, I'm sorry to hear that. This is just another example of the tough economic pressures many companies face
  16. Without nitpicking based on your link I did a quick calculation on the 2013 global GDP numbers from the IMF ( the second column ) and basically subtracted from the total of $73,982,183 million the combined contribution of G7 GDP based on that column The G7 make up $32,654,000 (rounded some numbers up or down marginally) of the total. This is 44 % of the total worlds total GDP. This is not an insignificant number and it is relevant to the discussion because you are basically dismissing the G7 economic might I
  17. He completely f*cked the north for his nostalgic reunion. No it was much more than that, the reality is the school of vipers were also extinct. The Nilfgaardian Empire promised to resurrect them. If I had to choose between extinction of my people and the Nilfgaardian empire ruling over some kingdoms I would choose the Nilfgaardians. Its a question of survival, so for me Letho did what he had to do not out of malice or self-enrichment but for the greater good of his kind
  18. I don't agree with your assessment of the contribution of the G7 towards the global GDP And this is a discussion that we can have around the facts, not personal views. I'll respond to this later
  19. unfortunatelly there is the funny notion, that to make the enviroment "just", the people who enjoyed certain privilleges should lose them and those privilleges (and more) should be transfered to those who (for whatever reason, even if the previously privilleged had nothing to do with it) did not have them a simple example would be: in my country there was freedom of religion for almost 200 years. in Pakistan there never was that notion. now that many Pakistanis are in my country, the liberals advocate that all non muslim religious symbols should be removed from public view, in order to promote the feeling of freedom of religion. practically that means oppress all other religious groups that enjoyed the freedom to worship whatever they liked for the sake of a single group that they consider oppressed (even if it never actually was neither here nor in their homeland) You make some good points, especially the comments " the people who enjoyed certain privileges should lose them and those privileges (and more) should be transfered to those who (for whatever reason, even if the previously privileged had nothing to do with it) did not have them Ï see this in South Africa on some levels and it doesn't actually help to transform the economic reality of previously disadvantaged people. Because there is view of entitlement with no concept of working to achieve this. Of course this doesn't apply to everyone but the issue does exist
  20. he may appear but only if you have not killed him in witcher 2 and load that save at the start of witcher 3 (it was confirmed that the choices of 2, if you import the save, will create alterations to the world of 3) I never killed Letho, I thought he made a convincing argument about why he was involved in the assassinations For me the survival of the Witchers was more important that the killings of some rulers.
  21. Fair enough, last comment from me about this. Gnostic, Prime and myself have worked out all the details of this bet so going forward we will use PM to discuss any changes
  22. That's true except for the fact that G8 produce 60% of the worlds GDP So if you are arguing that global economic strength is irrelevant and inconsequential then yes the G8/G7 is irrelevant But considering the reality that the most important consideration for almost countries in the world is the state of there economies you will have to position a very compelling argument to convince me that the G7/G8 is irrelevant And yes Russia being suspended from the G8 is important. Its another step to isolate them and get them to behave in way that is more acceptable to most of the international community
  23. yes, and flemmeth IS andraste, and you are morrigan's hellspawn... hmmm. that would perhaps be too creepy even for a bio romance. HA! Good Fun! Gromnir always remember that the word "creepy" is very subjective What is creepy for you may be perfectly normal for me
  24. Holy smoke, this post highlights just how impressive that trailer really is Any company that can pierce the phlegmatic exterior of an English gentleman and create a modicum of excitement is good....really, really good. Well done CDPR, if you can galvanize interest from the English this game will be a winner !!!
