I watched the above video. when she talks about being spit on in shop class I almost teared up. I mean Jesus christ, where in the hell in Canada do kids do that kind of stuff and get away with it?

I didn't say that. And I didn't say that. And I didn't say that! You are severely Hallucinating. Your Toxicity meter past Full. And by "most other things", you'd be talking about Just the UI, and just Geralt's dodging mechanic (which they've replaced, btw), and Just the overly constrictive walled maps. Because those are the only 3 things I said I disliked from Witcher 2. I would never go down an imaginary path created in another poster's head. Well good for you, jack ass. I was being polite but if all you're capable of is being a snarky **** head then don't bother responding to my posts.

Well, for one thing, I don't think I'd call those things "messed up". I'd call them what they are: "standard faults". Or "the status quo". But semantics aside, We've *seen* PC gameplay in action. there's no mystery here (at least not with the UI). It's still using the same radial menu that Witcher 2 used...which I found quite cumbersome....and a bad fit for a game with twitch-based, real time combat. The only real improvement I've seen with the UI is the inventory (it's grid based now instead of list based) Kudos for that. As for the combat, I want to know what exactly leads you to believe it's 'especially better'. Is it the fact that Geralt no longer does those tiresome, nearly uncontrollable summersaults whenever he dodges? Because that's about it. I've seen no other combat changes, have you? I'm looking forward to TW3 as much as the next guy, but when someone comes on here and discusses perfection, its only logical to remind him that, just like all other AAA titles today, the PC version will be flawed by default because a Keyboard and Mouse is NOT what the game is designed for. I can't agree with your assessments, that crafting was tedious or combat was bad or most the other things that you disliked about Witcher 2. Best not to go down that path, seems you didn't like the game anyway. the combat looks better to me because I was seasoned vet of Witcher 2 and even did pretty good on the arena score board, so I know that combat system inside out. Difference now is Geralt has multiple dodge moves, signs are AOE by default and instantly cast. They have a different kind of riposte now which takes less time to execute. Finishers take place in the game camera, not a cut scene. He strikes one swipe at a time now. Geralt can walk in all directions when facing an enemy instead of turning arounds and facing away like in Witcher 2. We use potions in combat now and not only before. I could go on but my point is it's really way different and I don't understand how you can't see that. No matter. We both want to play it.

I'm sure it will have the standard faults. PC gamers will still grind their teeth in frustration as they wrestle with a dreadful unintuitive UI that is not designed for a keyboard and mouse. Combat will again be overly twitch based and not particularly tactical, despite the hours of developer-narrated gameplay footage we've seen where they try really *really* hard to sell us, once again, on how complex and *deep* 5 signs + a sword is (but hey, we got crossbows now! Just like throwing daggers in TW2, but better!). Crafting will probably, again, be an uninspired chore. And my gut is telling me that "Horse management" will probably be more tedious than they're leading us to believe. But that all said, my biggest gripe with Witcher 2 was how small and constrictive the world space felt (Loc Muinne still gives me clusterphobia nightmares. ugh), and they've obviously addressed that in Witcher 3, and in such a mind-blowing epic way too. So I'll probably fall madly in love with this game and spend the majority of my summer inside, in front of my computer, playing it. Awfully cynical outlook there. I got no idea why you'd be so sure they'll mess those things up without seeing them in action. Looks like everything is improved from Witcher 2, especially the fighting system. I'd say the UI looks much better too.

Yeah. kick them women out. How dare they disagree with Gawker.

They're fighting like rabid banshees in the sci fi realm. G Martin has officially called it puppy gate. these people are ruthless.Well **** him. **** him and his stupid never ending epic.

Gwent. The dwarves invented it so it has to be awesome.

Well, I have to say. The rewrite seems to be mocking those who started the furor in the first place. It's twice as funny now.

Bravo, Obsidian. Let's see what else you guys change at the behest of the professionally offended.

How do know they don't want the joke in the game? Explain to me why bigotry in the game's world, a fantasy construct, should affect you. Explain to me why pulling a dumb joke offends you so much. Over and over again, this is what I hear: "They can't do that to our pledges! Only we can do that to our pledges!" There's no end to what offends people, so just pick another thing and take to Twitter I guess.

WTF kinda nonsense is this? None of this would be considered if Twitter cry babies hadn't started a campaign for self censorship. This is what their goal is. Take out the stuff we don't like. That's their goal. How in the hell is that not censorship?

Just like no one censored Matt Taylor for his shirt, made him apologizes in tears. Ha! Good fun.

I have yet to see how this is transphobic. Apparently buzzwords alone are enough to make a case now.

It would send a very dour message indeed if they favor the likes of this nutjob over someone, who in good will, backed the company. If I was funding a KS game, I'd keep all backer participation out, just so its the creator's intent these people have to question. Obsidian has an easy out since they didn't write the joke.

Reading Twitter and the mental gymnastic of these people claiming this won't be censorship is hilarious. It's just creative editing guys. They want Obsidian to creatively edit the writing to their tastes. Nothing wrong with that!

Ten grand to the brave soul who sneaks a Go Pro into the next NUS meeting.

Extreme left Tin foil hat wearing nonsense.

Has anyone asked what minorities say about white people? I'm sure it's just as flattering,

No sarcasm. Stinker's a wanker. What did he do, take your lunch money?

It's just a word. Relax. Black people use it all the time.

Was cosplay or anything of the sort ever a thing at GDC though? Not defending that puritanical guideline. Aggressive display of cleavage, lol. Look out, **** incoming boys! *ducks for cover*

Well, certain sites are more permissive about discussions regarding the sex lives of private individuals than others. Personally, I can see no way how a discussion about the perceived tightness of Ms. Quinn's vagina (based on the nude photos that were posted) has any inherent value for any site, but obviously, I'm not a moderator at the sites in question. This is first I've read about her vagina, seems you're the one who just brought it up. But then, maybe discussing this at all should be banned, and your ad hominems are here to shut the thread down.

[citation needed] Edit: I mean, his problem was that the evil, evil feminists were "hiding the research away because it didn't fit the narrative". You can't simultaneously do that and "treat it as a framework for how gaming identity should be treated"! It's either one or the other. You mean, all the horrible, horrible forced diversity like... urm... what exactly? I literally can't recall any high-profile games with "forced diversity" in them. Then again, it's not like I follow high-profile gaming too closely, so I'm honestly curious. There is no forced diversity, there's incessant whinging and pressure from journalists to coerce developers. It's a crusade to these people, and they won't leave well enough alone.
