Serious ?

What about Ryse Son of Rome ? Do you remember how that got butchered pre-release ? Granted, just before release we got some positive previews, but wow did people hate that game.

Was it for good reason ? Yes ! The gameplay setup was incredibly repetitive and boring. If so many previews say the Order is boring to play, then it probably is for good reason. It's up to you to decide though - and you can obviously get a lot just by watching the d...

Its sad though. I wish RAD would use gameplay like Naughty Dog do. I know that's easier said than done, but still.
Their gameplay philosophy right now, atleast from the demos I watched, is one that pulls the experience down - it hinders the story and immersion because of the seemingly artificial setup.
Still, I did enjoy watching the demo, so...
Not to mention that they haven't really shown any section with the halfbreed yet, and that definitely looks like t...

Well, it is a game.
However, you just can't blame half the online gaming population for finding this disturbing.

because IT IS.
Killing in GTA, Just Cause 2, Call of Duty - Is that disturbing ? No. Why ? Simple - its because it wasn't designed to be. Thats what the tone is like, thats what the narrative is like. Killing in those games does not get any emotional response from the player.

This game WANTS to be disturbing - its designed ...

You know, as much as a lot of people dislike or like the gameplay and say this on previews, its up to you to decide.

Just watch the gameplay demo, scrutinize it and see if it comes off as cinematic and real, or limiting and artificial.
Also, at the end of the day, as long as there is some basic gameplay that isn't horrible anyway, the game can still be great. I disliked the gameplay when I thought about that aspect. I thought it could be done better, but you kno...

There's no denying how incredible it looks. :)
As a PC gamer who is more excited about something like Project Cars, I can safely say that on the general effects side of things, this game is by far the best.

Very true. Also, as much as we all love CD Projekt, the delay could also signify that the game isn't all it was made out to be. This was the case with a bunch of games a while back.

Still, CD Projekt have earned our trust as customers, so they do indeed deserve to have their word taken for what it is.

Thats not the issue. Its not about open world or anything. Forgive me for doing this, but here is something from a long comment I posted earlier. Details my problems with what I saw in terms of gameplay.
'There is nothing wrong with this style of game'
if the gameplay is shallow, then yes there is, because the game will suffer for it. You can't use these excuses to negate all criticism. Its funny, Ryse got bashed so much before release, and everyone seemed fine...

Good job, make stupid comparisons and hence negate all criticism of the game.
You know, I'm a PC gamer, but if there's one thing that gets me excited it's console exclusives.
PS exclusives like Uncharted 2, TLOU (basically anything NaughtyDog) are my favourite.

This ,however, is pathetic. You're making useless comparisons.
The demo I watched was entertaining. However, did it raise concerns about gameplay ? Absolutely !

sorry for double post

The tech demos they were doing some time ago now show in many games. It will just take some time. Many of the features they advertised a while back are used in tons of games on PC.
Ofcourse, no game will use something like this to its fullest extent, unless the game itself is mainly about that particular aspect.
Besides, nvidia have great cards anyway. Great performance, low power consumption, and really quiet. Now the majority of people praise nvidia for its advances, an...

I haven't played it but the driving experience looks fantastic. Its not a sim, so you might not get the same depth, but from what I can see from gameplay footage it more than makes up for it. Very intense driving experience.
The visual quality here is... WOW :D
Watch a video of a race in the rain. Watch the water interacting with the windscreen and the wipers and all that. They actually respond to force and motion of the car - they behanve like fluids, clumping up, flowi...

it doesn't have to change the way we play anything. No one really wants to have a complete change. Many authors will then say its too generic. The reason it feels generic is that there isn't anything to do at any given time except to move and shoot. Thats what makes it feel generic.

If it has nothing more than basic gunplay, and doesn't give you enough mechanics to play with at any one time, then the gameplay will come off as boring or meh or whatever. Thats just ...

After watching youtubes video, I thought the graphics were pretty crap.

I did go to Gamersyde after though, and I couldn't have been more satisfied :)

60fps is nice and all, but a stable 30 will be fine for this game. You PS owners enjoy this one, because it looks great
:)

Its because the youtube video makes it look like crap. Compression ruins it completely when you have a natural environment filled with foliage and rocks.
It looked mediocre to be honest.

Then, I went to Gamersyde and watched the 1080p uncompressed video (or less compressed, whatever)
Its incredible ! :D
I'm a PC gamer btw. I did think the graphics were meh at first. Looking at the uncompressed version, they are gorgeous. The gameplay was a lit...

The recent trailer we got showed a coop boss battle. That was so epic. Not only was it thrilling to watch, but it also did a good job of setting up some lore

That edit was misplaced in the middle of the comment :P
Meant to be at the end

The demo did look underwhelming in one respect - the environment. I've see a lot better. Its just how foliage works - very few games render it correctly, because it requires a ton of processing power. The rocks and foliage looked very... last gen, so to say. Ofcourse, I'm saying this because I'm a PC gamer. There are games on PC which focus specifically on making the natural environment look incredible. Crysis 3 is a good example.

Edit : Just watched uncompressed...

You know, I'm a PC gamer... I don't own a console. However, I have played Uncharted 2
Watching a bit of The Last Of Us playthrough on youtube blew me away

A reveal or gameplay trailer of anything from NaughtyDog is one of the most exciting things for me, almost right up there with my excitement for The Witcher 3 and Star Citizen.

Thats pretty damn good for a game I won't even get to play, don't you think ? :D
