  1. Well, at least we got Witcher 3 out of it.
  2. ...
  3. I didn't think combat was good enough in PST for this to even be an issue.
  4. Definitely will be clearing my schedule, so I can watch something else today. Anything. I'll look up the new trailers tomorrow on youtube.
  5. A game's attempt at post modernism and satire...usually doesn't end well.
  6. Letho an idiot? Surely you jest. Phillipa was a genius. Problem was, she started thinking with her vagina.
  7. I expect to be able to side with Nilfgard, and banish the Aen Elle. And I want to bed Phillipa. Now there's a challenge.
  8. In both Witcher games, humans are the main antagonists, not the Wild Hunt. I doubt that will change.
  9. The King of the Wild Hunt is very Melnibonéan. Like Yrkoon or an evil Elric. Probably going to be the end boss of Twitcher 3 as well (considering his connection to Ciri who appears to be in the game). So you have played it then? Always nice to get insider info. Why don't we all give money to poor Mr. Moor****, because he invented modern fantasy literature. I think. According to him anyway.
  10. The Witcher is postmodern fantasy, very much about twisting conventional tropes. There's really nothing else I've read that's like it. Found this article. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-19-the-witcher-3-what-is-a-next-gen-rpg
  11. Probably one of the worst Metacritic scores for a game ever. I feel sorry for Egosoft. But you know, when one streamlines, one should not use a f*cking chainsaw. I think Confucius said that.
  12. Uhh, no. They have little in common beyond superficial comparison. You might as well pick an anime dude with white hair and say Sapkowski copied it.
  13. Gee, how did I know this was going to be your angle all along. X:Rebirth awaits you and your gamepad then.
  14. Not ideal. Some control schemes are better for certain games. Playing Free Space 2 with a Joystick and keyboard is what got me hooked on the genre. Playing that game with a gamepad would just be, not fun. And i have no desire to play an X game with a gamepad.
  15. CD Projekt pulled a similar stunt. I feel it was with the UI system and certain graphical implementations. They were clearly readying Witcher 2 to be released on xbox. But unlike Egosoft, they didn't nerf anything else in the game. A space sim is a hell of a lot more complex. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make the game pad the core input device, should be beat over the friggin head with one.
  16. "SHOW ME YOUR SKILLZ" I think they may have been future proofing for release on next gen. That's what the game feels like, because now there is limited functionality to menus and hotkeys. I mean why would they even bother with gamepad design for something as complex as a space sim?? I always use joystick/keyboard combo.
  17. I was hoping the campaign would be better but I bailed on it 40 minutes in. They really should be able to hire better writers and voice actors by now, they've been making games for like what, 20 yrs? My PC can play it but it struggles in spots. I might just hold off till it gets patched a bunch.
  18. The FPS walking view is...not too good. Voice acting is bad, but it wouldn't be an X game if it wasn't. Full Joystick support is not there yet, it seems. A disappointment. The menus and loading times are pretty bad so far. Everything else seems good. Just my very first impressions.
  19. Would rather be posting in the lady thread, but just to piss off Oby: Dolph mutha f*ckin' Lundgren. Top that sh*t, you pinkos.
  20. Some handsome fellas in here, Ringo isn't one of them. I want the lady thread back. Why was that closed?
  21. It's no rumor, and based on a cult PnP system from the 80's. Even the staunchest of neck beards should be pleased with that. I'm sure you'll love it.
  22. Good point. Probably best to hold off anyway to let them work out the inevitable bugs and such. Such a massive game is likely to need tweaking well after launch.
  23. Can't believe it's almost here and I haven't got a new PC yet. *cries* I'll buy it anyway, have it lurking on my Steam account.
  24. Far Cry 1 is not fully Sandbox per se but it has excellent shooter mechanics and enemy encounter design. Until you get to the stupid mutants that is.
