Malcador Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Apparently some insider on NeoGAF. it looks like many gaffers are painting CDP as some magical dev studio with only the best of interests of the gamers in mind. Trust me they are not. The bull****ting with the Witcher 3 started from day 1. PR is creating an overblown vision of a game that doesn't exist while the team is in crazy crunch time for over a year now. There's some bad **** going on that if GAF knew GAF would not like. Well in the end it's my words vs CDP PR. I mean why should You belive my if I have no solid evidence to show? But that's kind of my point, CDP build a very good realationship with gamers and now it's paying off as oppose to say EA. I do have inside knowledge, I did have contact with the game but again NDA and such plus I'm just a dude on the internet. my only point is that GAF should take everything CDP says with a grain of salt. EDIT: Just to some up my messy line of thinking - don't preorder tha game (especially on consols) wait for the reviews, then decide or don't pay attention to a random dude on the internet and do what you want with your money. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=905447&page=7 Probably a bunch of nothing. 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

Guest Slinky Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Hehe, would guess the guy is an ex employee or has some other reason to be bitter, might have had a few beers too with all the typos. But who knows, he might be right too, The Witcher 2 wasn't nearly as good as one could have expected from all the fuss.

Nonek Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Hmmm there seems to be a lot of people with an axe to grind against CDPR for whatever reason, but an open world game is a vast departure from their previous works, so a little caution might be warranted. I'm not sure personally, I may well wait and see, though having been more than satisfied with their previous two releases a pre-order seems a fairly safe bet. And this might just be the work of one of the SJF's whom are repeating the inane mantra that the game is "made of rape." Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
Malcador Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Eh, even if true, who knows to which degree. Crunch and overpromising are staples of the industry, or so it seems. Thought we had a CDPR guy here, as well, but I assume he'd be too busy working 1 Why has elegance found so little following?

AGX-17 Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) So this is like a Polish Monster Hunter but not for handhelds, right? I don't know because I got bored with the first Witcher game before even getting into the first walled town. Edited October 3, 2014 by AGX-17
Nonek Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Action rpg, fine narrative, poor controls. Good choice and consequence, too many cutscenes. Graphically very nice, not as detailed or interactive an experience as Monster Hunter. Some of the finest art design in the industry, limited to a single protagonist whom is not everyones cup of tea. 1 Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it?

It was a bold game for the time, with writing and graphics that pissed on other modern RPGs. That's why people are so hyped for Witcher 3. There's a crapton of generic PR talk I'll Agree with that. I for one don't doubt the degree of freedom, both games were basically mini open worlds with all the trappings. They know sandbox design. I worry a bit on the technical side, whether they can keep it bug free and the PC version soundly rooted in mouse and keyboard functionality. I hope consoles don't affect native res on PC either. These latest screens don't inspire confidence on that front.

Zoraptor Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Why don't they just include them in the base game? Why are they chopping bits out to then just give them away? Typical CDPR. At least when other companies do it has the purpose of making money, CDPR cuts bit out just to get good PR. And their continuous patching and support, horrendous, all just so they can sell the enhanced edition, super enhanced edition, ultimate edition and really ultimate edition later, and it shows they didn't test thr original game properly as well yet people lap it up. Why do people fall for their nonsense? I'm rather surprised how many wholly unironic comments like that I've actually seen, people just love complaining... 2
