I think you can see from the trailer that while there is a lot of violence, the tone is kind of laid-back and I wouldn't really call it gritty. It may sound weird, but in some ways I saw it more more as "The Fifth Element" and less as "Blade Runner"
The gritty moments in the Witcher 3 were my favorite moments, so I hope they haven't cut them out here.

Um, I didn't think I needed to be so specific.
Let's say I want to buy a desktop with an i3-8100 for X amount of dollars, let's say I need this for completely unrelated reasons to gaming (literally any other reason someone needs a computer: work, home media pc, photoshop, etc.). Now someone slaps in a gtx 950, and they're now more than capable of minimum requirements for just an extra $100. I.e. X+100 = minimum-spec gaming pc...
People still want/need a computer anyways, for a multitude of other reasons. A "minimum spec pc" could be as simple as an extra $100 towards one's already-set PC budget- rather than paying a $200-400 for a console on-top of the PC they need. Therefore, Minimum-spec PC's are actually a very reasonable and viable option over a console.
You're still conflating the distinction JEECE brought up in his comment. There's a difference of predictions of what people will try doing, and predictions of what will succeed. The predictions surrounding the increase in mobile games was true, that's just a fact that has nothing to do with whether it was successful or not. The prediction that mobile gaming would kill consoles was false, because that is a prediction about the success of mobile gaming.
I.e. you...
But when it's done right, like FC5 has done, where the phrasing and dialogue is framed in a way that doesn't suggest the player character has to respond and say something: there is no standing like a plank of wood effect.
I'm not disappointed by that at all. Personally, the player voice in both FC3 and 4 were both really cringey and broke the immersion. I think most FPS games are better off with silent characters, since it's just too easy to break immersion. The cases in which it works is where there is an already established character, with their established voice, you're playing as (Master chief in Halo being a prime example).
@OffRoadKing
I think you meant to reply to my other comment for you, but i'll reply here anyways.
I guess I brought up the issue of pay-to-win because it was a form of price gouging that directly went in the face of quality gameplay. It gouged people in a forceful way. Personally? Yes I agree that $20 for a cosmetic item is price gouging, and I don't *think* it's a fair price. But then again, it's hard to definitively really say what isn a...
@DarkVoyager
But that was what my comment was about. Should it really matter if they're ridiculously priced? The "pressure" to have to buy those items is negligible since they are cosmetic rather than competitive. At most, they are self-induced out of ones own interest. There are plenty of other ridiculously priced things people pay for that we don't find these kinds of complaints. I guess that's just the good and bad of capitalism, no?
Just for the sake of discussion, why should there be any outrage?
There shouldn't really be any significant pressures for Cosmetic items, it's not like pay-to-win schemes. Therefore if the guy on your friends list spent that much money, it may seem like he was suckered out of his money, but it seems to be more out of his own superficial "wants" for stylistic reasons rather than being forced to want certain things in order to remain competitive (gameplay-e...
Honestly, if the tradeoff is avoiding any pay-to-win or gameplay-effecting micro transactions, what does it matter if they sell $20 outfits? And of course the broader trade-off, if they don't even have cosmetic micro transactions, is that the game cannot be free to play anymore.
Anyways, I personally can't understand how someone would pay that much for a cosmetic item, and so a part of me wants to let that happen and have them foot the bill if it means I (and milli...
That's a fair question to ask: it's primarily because the concept of a single player game is different. I was glad to spend $60 on a single player game like The Last of Us even though I finished it in 2 days (never played multiplayer). Why? Because I had gotten a complete package (an excellent story) that will stick with me even if I then threw the game out. I.e. 2 days is all I needed to get what I needed from a single player game, such is the concept of a single player game.
@_-EDMIX-_
How utterly absurd, you can't possibly think for one minute of the dozens of reasons people may have for not keeping or buying those older systems?
I don't even have space for an extra console. If I got a PS5 then it would simply go where the PS4 is. You can't possibly imagine someone would rather be one of those sellers to get $100 towards the purchase of the PS5?
"i'm sorry but there's no excuse"... Ch...
@nevarDcirE
To answer your question: If there was a classic movie that was offered to me, that I had never seen, I would watch it.
I don't exactly know if you were suggesting anything more or less with your comment, and I won't claim you said things you didn't (like some other posters on this thread). But, I may as well add that I am generally in support of console BC. Mostly, I believe that it should ideally be in the "old-fashioned"...
LOL... So if someone isn't a fan of BC that means they're Anti-BC? Nowhere in his comment did he claim anything about the whole "project" of BC, or about what other people should do/want.
My brother isn't a fan of BC either, but would support BC since he understands why others may want it.
Edit: I'm not a fan of the pizza place on the corner of the block (that I understand lots of other people like), but i'm definitely not &q...
... Unless he's edited his comment, Neil363 didn't even make an argument for you to tell him his logic is ludicrous. So if anything, your logic is ludicrous. He never said people shouldn't enjoy BC, or that all BC games aren't great.
He made two points: He said he's not a fan of BC (and doesn't play them). And he said he thinks these are two great games.
He never even denied BC may be of value to others (worth pursuing).
Even though I slightly disagree with your stance, I really appreciate how eloquently you wrote it. An intelligent response is rare to come by lately. Edit: I even gave you an "agree vote" just because I hope your comment doesn't get buried.
Anyways, on to your points.
I agree that you have found the issue. I just don't agree with why you jumped to designating games with a lower priority on gameplay, "stories". You imply that if a game h...
@Forum_Pirate
1. Both of us have zero empirical knowledge as to how many downloaded it. So I feel it's less naive to assume the worst. Even if I said tens of thousands (which, yes, is more reasonable), the point still stands.
2. They WOULD be eating $60 or $109. That's lost value! I know they won't be paying $60 to the publisher, but they'll still be losing $60 in revenue. You can't justify stealing something from a store just because ...
@Vickers500
As for the end of your comment, I don't believe we need to be skeptical. If they revoked licenses for your games with no real reason, it may be legal for them, but it would be the worst PR imaginable. They might as well concede to any competition once that happens. In fact, similar already happened! I believe Xbox One's anti-used game policy was one of the top causes for PS4's popularity this generation. While MS is capable, and legal, to just take stuff away ...
Forum_Pirate
You're being absolutely childish.
Reconsider DarthJay's comment; sleep on it, think about it.
It's one thing for a store to inform you of the mistake after your purchase, but letting you keep it since it's post-purchase. But this is an online site, where millions may have downloaded the game. Not a local shop eating up their mistake. In other words: yes, if you bought something from a store with a similar error, it wo...
Your comment is genuinely the most stupid one i've ever come across on this site, I hope the 1993 in your username doesn't reflect the year you were born
