16 hours to record? Oh god, just hire some pros and get all the kinky capture material you need in 45 minutes.
16 hours for some shitty doggy and missionary and riding animations is just stupid, I think this is just promotion and pandering to the juvenile gamers out there to whome sex sells.

I Like how bioware did the sex scenes in Mass Effect 1 specially the liara romance, it was kinda movie like and didn't show too much, also the Love theme that played was nice.
Witcher 2 had a cool one too, the one in the elven ruin with triss.

Hardly. It's been around pretty much since the beginning. Sierra released a text-based sex game 20 years before Bioware got into romances with BG2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softporn_Adventure which in turn spawned stuff like Leisure Suit Larry. Possibly you could accuse them of popularising it in 3D RPGs I guess, but if they didn't do it, someone else inevitably would have. Given the source material, I'm sure CDPR would have had sex in the Witcher series either way.

Less is definitely more when it comes to sex scenes in games. I can't remember seeing one that didn't look unnatural, goofy or just weird at times.

There's nothing bad about having sex in games, as far as I'm concerned - as long as it's used well.
Both Witcher games had a good idea about it, altough that idea was different in the original game and in the sequel. In the first game it was used mostly for humour, which fit the source material's tone perfectly. The card game also fit into that. In the second game it sometimes was a comic relief, but it was also sorta story progression tool. Personally I prefered the sequel's aproach, but many people liked the cards and W1 attitude about it too.
Of course, sex always looks a bit weird in games, but that's uncanny valley for you. The thing I disliked about Bioware sex scenes, however, was the silliness of them - watching two characters kiss (or worse) in full armour and/or clothes and pretend something happened... it's like watching kid movies. It's idiotic. If devs don't want sex in their games, they shouldn't put it in ( pun intended I guess ) - and that's completely fine. But if they do want it, and they're making a game for adult users, I wish they'd at least stop being afraid of showing a little skin and making it even a little bit sexy and steamy.
Then there's the whole idiotic SJW equality crusade which usually boils down to making everyone Bi, since that's obviously how this stuff works everywhere

That's purely a ratings thing. They want to put sex scenes in, but at the same time they don't want to get slapped with an R18 or AO rating and exclude the majority of their target audience. Blame prudish censors. To paraphrase Sheila Broflovski, horrific, deplorable violence is okay, just don't say any naughty words or show any tits.

I know it's a ratings thing and I completely agree with your assessment of the paradox of accepting violence (even quite extreme in some cases - like dismemberment), but banning even hints of nudity. But I also refuse to put the blame solely at censors' feet. At the end of the day it's a producer/publisher decision, the same one movie studios are making, which recently made them castrate several violent franchises to PG-13 rating only to gather more crowds.
M rating exists, it can be used. It's the "eat cake, have cake" mentality concerning accessibility and adult content that gets on my nerves.

The romance and sex bullshit should be banned from RPGs.

| Quote: | | CD Projekt Red has obviously been paying attention to gaming trends over the past few years. They're talking about creating an 'Insanity' difficulty mode in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that will delete your saved game upon death. This game mode would likely make enemies in the game world even stronger, making grinding for levels a necessary task. Given the size and scope of The Witcher 3, players could stand to lose quite a lot of time and effort. |

| Quote: | PC recommended specs will be able to run the game on 30 or 60 frames per second?
Adam: I think, we'll stick with 30 FPS. We're not going to stop working on performance until the very end, it's crucial matter to us, there are different PCs with different specs. Programmers insisted on avoiding tricking the players by lowering predicted specs. As I mentioned before, It can only get better.
|
from www.witchersite.pl q&a :
| Quote: | | Are recommended requirements enough for Ultra? No, recommended specs are supposed to let you play on mid-high settings in 1920x1080(Full HD) |
i7 and GTX 770 will let you play on mid-high (probably around 30-40 fps).
Expect it to run like shit on 90% of pcs. Another Assassin's Creed Unity ..

I wont accept it not one fucking dicksucking bit. It looks good but certainly not dicksucking good. 1080p with ultra or 1440p with ultra (no AA is ok....) has to be 30-40fps at least. Not high or what the fuck ever I won't accept that shit and by that I mean I wont pay them one single dicklicking euro/dollar.
Nvidia/AMD drivers have to be perfect for this game. Every fucking little frame has to be squeezed like a goddamn dickshell.

Mmm, apart from the control schemes do you really think the other problems wouldn't exist without the consoles?? Games become more and more complex (and expensive) as time passes, and as a system becomes complex the probability of one of it's components failing increases dramatically. And corporations are greedy, they've always been and always will be. I don't think you can blame bugs at launch, day one patches and high requirements on consoles.
Also in the "good ol' days" the problem was much less noticeable due to the fact that there were much MUCH less multi-platform titles. What percentage of the N64/psx library came to PC, compared to now? At least now you can play almost any game on any machine. I know nostalgia makes everything in the past look nicer but I honestly don't think we had it better in that era. |
Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't at home and browsing teh Humps with the phone is a no go for me.  What you said is true. I generalized a lot and that's always an incorrect thing to do, though to clarify a bit, my ranting (sort of) wasn't aimed towards consoles/ports in general, but to how they're being handled specifically on PC. There are always notable exceptions, though I think we cannot not notice the constantly increasing signs of blatant laziness (not present before), when it comes to doing competent porting jobs/multi-platforming. And this is coming mostly from big studios, AAA business, which makes it even worse in my opinion. QA has become some weird mythological monster, dropped completely by many, even if the resources are there (resources that punctually go to the marketing departhurrment). They just don't care anymore, and the silly people instead of buying stuff selectively and smartly, take the bait, like a dog chasing its tail.
Which doesn't exclude the fact that PC exclusives aren't immune of course. Just look at the (day 1) state of games like Rome 2, or Simcity last year, or the myriad of foreverinearlyaccess games out there. Or with many titles being released not at their fullest, because of the future DLCs. It's a really broad issue, and maybe I should have actually generalized even more
That said, I hope CDProjekt handle this whole thing with care, and I think they can, unless they want to commit seppuku in terms of image/financial results. Mistreating PC ain't a smart thing to do (despite the claims about PC gaming dying  ) so I'm somewhat cautiously optimistic about this, despite everything. Still, I obviously need to try the ISO first, my trust issues are permanent xD |

I doubt they'll care about their image that much after they cash in on W3. They were talking "branching out" since W1 EE and due to financial constraints and lack of experience they couldn't do it. I still have hope for them, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go tits up like Bioware.

I'm terrified about how Cyberpunk will turn out when they do shit shit now. Probably console exclusive. You know, all those pc systems are just too much work.
Luckily 30 fps doesn't really bother me as i'm used to derpsoles. But it's clear as fucking day that they are adamant about Pc not getting any advantages.

Yeah you know. If it's good enough fps for movies it's good enough for games. That's the next step. 24 fps.

It's unbelievable how these guys (CDPR) became from my favorite company to the least favorite in a matter of days. Firstly they delay the release of W3, not to improve the game but to dumb it down so that consoles can handle it. Secondly they decide to make the game more simplistic because fucking 10yo kids won't be able to play it and lastly the result of all of the above is the delay of other projects, most importantly we will never get to play Cyberpunk, i am now 100% certain they are going to drop it or release it when the apocalypse will happen, with my goddamn luck.
I pirated W1 and then bought the EE pack. I pre-ordered W2 and it was a disaster compared to W1 and now W3, which was fucking awesome when they started showing early footage, will most probably become a shitty consolised version of what was supposedely a visual and gameplay orgy happening right in front of you in your motherfucking 24 inch superduper monitor.
Godamn m$oft.

Game is by no means shit. I just complain about the devs being sellouts and cunts in general. Other than that, i'm going to play the fuck out of this game.

I'm reserving judgement until I've played the game. Things like the 30 fps don't really bother me that much as it isn't a hard cap, and hardware will catch up. |

Gaymers want groundbreaking, beautiful gfx (like TW3 has) but it must also run at 120fps on their ancient sub $4k PCs, otherwise the devs are incompetent console sellouts. Newsflash folks: you can't have your cake and eat it too.
More like PC ENTITLEMENT race, amiright?
