I recently started paying bf4 and it was ridiculous how most people deliberately ignore objectives so they can go sniper and crash helicopters into tall buildings so they can get a vantage point and camp the entire match. Everyone just rushes in for kills like it's COD and goes sniper because it's 'cool' or something. Every server has 1000+ tickets and zero respawn delay on vehicles and there's just no interest in strategy. Maybe it's just that I've been watching a...
only it's likely that they're not. These expansions (hearts of stone and blood and wine) have been released long after the initial games launch and so surely its rational to assume that a lot of their development has taken place post launch.
To the best of my knowledge although HoS for W3 was planned well in advance of the main release - much of the work on it has taken place after the game was released. Ergo - this was not cut by any reasonable definition. Further, this was a 10hr expansion which I'd compare to Knights of the Nine or Dawnguard from the Elder Scrolls games. The next witcher expansion is expected to be twice as long (and incidentally comparable to Shivering Isles or Dragonborn). Season pass is about £25 l...
I kind of felt the same for the first few episodes. Just felt like the series was jerking itself off. As it goes it gets much much better I promise.
No Cobie Smulders? Strange, I thought the new season was to focus on her?
Am i the only one who hated arcania? The combat was dull and every battle could be won by repeatedly staggering the enemy you were fighting. The story was derivative and uninvolving. The RPG elements were completely uninspired: Warrior, archer, mage etc etc etc. I played this game through to the end and at no point did it ever compel me, and at no point was the gameplay sufficiently rewarding to compensate for that
I don't know metal gearwell but i'm inclined to agree.I don't think Quiet as she is presented in the footage I've seen is all that well designed. Obviously very deliberate sexualisation for the sake of the audience and I do feel that would break my immersion. But I don't think it's any more sexist in principle than anything else put out by the industry. It's just silly and in a game where you're strapping people to balloons and such I don't think it's t...
Ok, So whether or not this is sexist or not is not an issue to me. I mean it's obviously not the strongest portrayal of women in art ever but does it need to be? It's not Furiosa in mad max for example, but I'm not gonna crucify it for that. It's obviously objectifying women and well, what's new. It's hardly the worse culprit
That said, what does irk me is that it amounts to rather naff characterisation. It just seems lazy and based upon fanservice rat...
Just looking at the bit where he repeatedly ran over a blokes body and wondering whether one really needs a heartbeat monitor to tell that that bloke is pretty dead. I dunno, you reckon you could take a quarter of the weight of the batmobile to the sternum and walk it off?
@ultranova
Expansion one is available in October and expansion 2 is available in the first quarter of 2016
I doubt they're actually anywhere near finished at the launch of the base game
@Fationably late.
The witcher devs (CD Projekt Red) have stated time and time again their disapproval of paid DLC. They have said the only event where they would charge would be for a full expansion like Dragonborn or Shivering Isles. They demonstrated this when they released the witcher 2 for xbox 360 with a number of enhancements, a new game mode and much content added to the main story under the aptly named 'enhanced edition'. The enhanced edition was given free to...
But the choice did not feel meaningful. Every choice you made across 3 games was reduced into a numerical figure on an arbitrary scale of 'galactic readiness'. Regardless of the ending i felt that entire way they dealt with consequence was too reliant on formula to ever feel convincing. Some of the writing in the game was good everything about its structure was so overly ordered it didn't feel organic in the slightest - From the mission structure to romances.
Article says the witcher 2 Geralt looks sick. That shot is actually from the 52 and a half trailer. At that point he is tripping all sorts because he has downed a bunch of stimulants and potions before entering battle. The technique is common and a core mechanic in the witcher games. When we see w3 Geralt in full bats*** crazy mode, I think he will look somewhat more akin (albeit much better quality)
A brief look at the headlines for the device on N4G and a small search on google implies this is not the case and you are in fact talking nonsense
ok so the last 5-6 articles on the Witcher have all been summary's of an IGN interview earlier in the week. SO i do know these details because I've read them all like 6 fucking times. Great journalism guys
Cool giveaway :)
The fact that we are all so familiar with them is either a depressing reminder of the systems failure to change and/or bad (and repetetive) journalism about games. I still feel sick thinking about fucking Jessica Chobots (fuck knows how its spelt) ugly ass face in ME3. In fact thinking about me3 makes me sick anyway. This isn't even relevant. In fact it is old news in general but it makes me so angry how utterly vacuously formulaic and disappointing that game was. Some people say i am eas...
[witcher 2 spoiler alert]You kill his wraith in the first i think. The wildhunt use wraiths as projections of themselves. When geralt truly met the hunt between the events of the books and the games he slew real elves who bled real blood. They are not of the same dimension as the continent. That night he met the king of the hunt in his corporeal form and traded his soul for yennefer. When he returns (minus his memory) he does not remember the true nature of the wraiths even when he duels the ...
I think the physics on that bird thing are pretty tanked. I have too many memories of the surrealist dragons in Skyrim. Bethesdas engine creates beautiful worlds but crappy physics and animations and scripting and while they could get away with it back in 2003, I think unless they improve it they will come unstuck soon. RedEngine on the other hand seems to do both scenery and animation well
@annoyedgamer
It's literally just consumer pressure. There's nothing sinister about it regardless of how you feel about it all. The fact is yes - "feministic" portrayals are becoming more widespread in western media. But this is only happening because companies realise there is profit to be made in it. Ironically, despite many feminists being statists and demanding regulation - their advances here have been made through the free market. Obviously some of t...
