Exactly what I said. The wickedness of using blood magic never really came for you. For every other person in the world, it has major repercussions. For you it some reason doesn't though?
I am actually kinda ok with this. It always bugged me how every person who uses blood magic becomes corrupted by it but somehow you use it and it doesn't cause any problems. It would be different if when you became a blood mage it caused problems within your party or other aspects. Just playing around with an idea. What if you when you are a blood mage, you would encounter demons trying to corrupt you more often. Regardless if blood mage was an option, it should come with some serious con...
Exactly. They are basically foregoing any optimization. At 1080p no game should be using over 2GBs of VRAM. Battlefield 3/4 has giant maps with 64 players with much better visuals and detail than this game and it only uses around 1.5Gbs of VRAM at 1080p with 4xMSAA. Crysis, though not as much going on in game but arguably the best visuals in existence uses around the same.
I would cut a fully open world game some slack but 4GBs seems excessive for 1080P.
PC games shouldn'...
They are also the same people who's games are 100% DRM free and have not charged for any DLC released. As a reward to loyal fans they also lowered the price of the Witcher 3 for anyone owning one or both of the previous entries.
Not to mention Xbox One isn't the only one getting the statue. Everyone is. Xbone is only getting the cloth map and tarot cards.

There has been no confirmation from CDPR that the Witcher 3 will be identical across platforms. Will it be the exact same game (in terms of gameplay & content) across platforms? Absolutely. Does that automatically mean that the PS4 & Xbone will have the same resolution? Nope. Lets wait till we hear from the developer what all the specification will be. Until then lets just be excited for how awesome of a game it will be no matter what.
What do they mean "only 8 abilities"? That would really suck if you couldn't use more than 8 abilities in combat. In Origins and II you could use as many abilities as you had available.
The Witcher 3 is my most anticipated title right now, but this article kind of sucked. They barely compared 1 image from each game. Plus the author described the combat as being similar to Skyrim.
Yeah but from the videos I have seen from MGSV the landscape and environment is pretty barren. The environments in the Witcher 3 videos are way more detailed.

Yeah that was one of my major complaints that Bioware (or many people) didn't bring up. I hated how only certain party members did certain things. Basically, if I was a Rogue/Warrior, it was mandatory that I had Anders in my party since he was the only one who could heal. If I was a mage, I had to have Aveline since she was the only one who could be a tank. It was really dumb.
CDPR has a good reputation with them but that doesn't mean it will look better on the Xbone. PS4 has more powerful hardware plain and simple.
....there is still 6 months left till the game releases. Its actually really good that they can already hit 30fps in some areas with this much time until release.
Graphics look amazing but I haven't been too impressed by the gameplay that has been shown. Seems too linear. If the areas widened up a bit Id like it much more. Also not the biggest fan of the cinematic widescreen but I am sure those who play it will get used to it really fast. Still a while till the game comes out so still plenty of time for me to be impressed.
Lol. I am kind of in the same boat as you guys. Don't get me wrong, I like certain collector's items such as concept art. Other than that I really have no interest in any kind of "Collectors" item. Especially figurines and trinkets that will just end up taking space in my closet. My biggest concern is just the developers making the best game they can possibly deliver, and CDPR is without a doubt doing that. I care about the game, not what comes with it.
Not too many. As of right now it seems game developers are using 4K support for marketing. I imagine it being easily another 2-3 years before 4K becomes more mainstream.
Yeah I am pretty bummed about this one. Really wanted to play it in October since I wasn't going to be purchasing any other game that month. I am really hoping Rockstar decides to release GTAV on PC in September/October, but I don't think that is going to happen.
Doubt they would have a Mantle patch for The Witcher 3. It is going to be a nVidia oriented title so I doubt they would make it work for Mantle.
For the love of God wait! Worst case scenario if you wait, the prices of the 780ti will come down significantly.
Only if you had never owned it. I, like most people who bought ODST, already did.
I liked ODST a lot, but the biggest issue with it however was they charged a full $60 for it when it was clearly just an expansion. Should have been $30-$40 max.
A 970? Yeah you should be more than good. Rumors are that a GTX 780 Ti (similar to 970) gets 35-40fps on max settings, but with 8xMSAA. Dialing it back to 4xMSAA (or using alternate AA methods), you should easily be hitting 60fps by the time proper drivers are released.
