@The_Zeel
The execution was "different" than what we had before in RPG/action games. Drew people out of their comfort zone and thus "some" decided that it's bad.
For me, it was simply excellent.

i can forgive a lot in a game... i LOVED witcher, but it was by no means flawless... the combat was very unrefined, as was the sign casting... the dialog and animation were ho hum... but what it DID have in spades, was a tight focus and phenominal atmosphere.
i can let a lot of the negatives in witcher 3 slide, but what I can't get past, is that im just not FEELING anything. perhaps its because the worlds too big its become too generic. I can enjoy the occasional interesting location from a visual standpoint, and SOMETIMES when the weather rolls in it borders on giving me some kind of emotional response, but for the most part the locations just feel like places to get through to reach my questing point. seen one forest, seen em all... one shitty little 6-home village is the same as the next...
guess its 'realistic', but I dunno... what i loved about the original games has steadily kinda dried up the more 'open' and 'large' the games have progressively become. fuck i want to replay the first game again! |
Feeling similar about this, after playing a bit I just cant bring myself to start the game again, maybe Im getting old

I barely went to sleep last night, wanted to play some more - been a while since that happened.
It let me import my TW2 saves, but I really hoped I had my Aerodight 
Fantastic game this is.

Oh, got rid of the inventory bug/freeze/crash, by switching frame lock to "Unlimited".

Regular wildlife should still be susceptible to the steel sword. Silver is only against magical/supernatural creatures. |
From "should be", to actually being or not being, is a long way in the game.

I can't use the horse. The controls are worse than in an old school resident evil game. Prefer to walk simply because I have some sort of semi-control over the character :/
So far it's not sucking me in. But I'll persist. Morrowind didn't do much for me initially either and I even gave up only to later go back and waste 3 months of my life in the game (and loved every minute of it).

It should just break instantly when not fighting monsters! I mean a silver sword would be very impractical.

It's not purely made of silver more like a hardened silver alloy (dunno how the books explain it). Also: magic!

Don't agree at all.. I think the horse controlls better than in most other games where you have a horse (Skyrim, RDR).. a nice feature is that you can just hold down a button if you are on a road and the horse will ride along it automatically. I use a controller though, obviously it's the best choice for this game for a number of reasons.

the horse is tricky to control at the start.. sometimes it takes a while to start going, or go in the direction you want.. but once you get it going, its fast and easy.
its the minute, careful controls that it sucks at, but once hes up to speed, its cruisy.

Yes, that I think is the biggest problem in terms of movement. It takes too long accelerate and decelerate. I would have liked tighter turns, more "arcadey" movements.

But since time slows when you hold the attack key near monsters, it's really easy to kill things on horseback.

Until you get used with the controls they aren't quite user friendly - at first i kept pushing different buttons. I decided to go with the gamepad.

I dont thinks this has anything to do with our brain, but with our eyes simply kind of "integrating" light over time, which then causes motion blur if an object was in motion
| KillerCrocker wrote: | | When each frame is sharp, that's why image appears unnatural and stuttery compared to how camera would capture it, with each frame blurred in motion. |
Its true, that motion blur can help make movies appear less stuttery, but only because the motion or changes becomes less and less discernable
| KillerCrocker wrote: | | It can be either 24 or 30fps, no matter. |
This matters alot. 24 or 30fps will never capture reality properly, unless the recorded motion is slow enough. Even worse, we cannot display such low frame rates without huge issues. Displaying each frame until the next is supposed to, e.g. for ~42ms for 24fps means our visual systems adds motion blur and stutter which are both not in the original image and not even on screen, but are simply a result of our vision. Basically happens, because we track motion even on a screen, even while each frame is actually static for 42 ms. Explanation of the two effects
blur: integration of light of the whole image in our eye happens at several positions because our vision moves => everythings blurred in direction of the tracking
stutter: while your eyes move in direction of movement, the static image obviously stands still for ~42 ms, so in other words, relative to your tracking it actually moves backwards. So each frame wanders backwards for 42 ms and then jumps ahead with the next, repeatedly. This is the real cause for stutter for low frame rates. If you decrease the time each frame is shown, inserting black frames in between, the stutter dissappears. What stays is the forward jumping motion which to my eyes seems much more fluid and flickers like hell with such low frame rates
| KillerCrocker wrote: | | when recorded with 30-60 shutter speed, each frame is blurred in motion and image appears like in real life. |
No really. It will be blurry, no matter what. You will not be able to track motion and see sharp details, unlike reality where tracking makes moving object sharp (object not moving relative to your tracking, integration of light coming from the objects is done in the same place => no blur)
| KillerCrocker wrote: | | So stop with that bullshit about motion blur being for console derps. |
While its true that motion blur can be good, there are problems. First, perfect motion blur would require a huge frame rate, to accurately determine where objects really would go. The Source Moviemaker for example produces its motion blur by rendering more frames than would otherwise necessary for the target frame rate. So motion blur in games is an approximation.
Also, motion blur depends on where you look and what your eye is tracking. The game cannot perfectly predict that. It can for example make the assumption that you're looking at the center of screen in which case it would only work if you actually do so (which is impossible btw, you will track objects on screen, automatically).
So motion is no perfect effect.
A much higher frame rate (120fps and probably more would be better)

To be honest, I think this video is kinda nonsense. I see no reason as to why our visual system should view Video so different than reality, so I strongly believe 1000 fps movies would make them alot more lifelike and not sharper in motion than reality.
The reasons why some people get sick surely lie somewhere else. For example part of the visual information becomes so real, that our visual system gets confused. It detects motion, sometimes of the whole screen, which contradicts whats happening around the screen and to you. The images are also 2D, which could also be the cause. But I do not have any answer to this question, but neither does the video.

Is Gwent as easy as buy/find good cards = win? Or does some strategy come into it later on?

Is there a way to switch the camera? Its so far and during fight geralt positioning in the middle of the screen blocks the view. The movement is super clunky too. Thankfully characters are fantastic. I still think that w1 was better and i even liked its unique fighting system more but i am not too far in w3 yet |
Is it? Must be an nVidia thing.
I got an r9 280x OC'd of course, FX8350@4.5, 8GB RAM, crappy old Asus Xonar soundcard. I can turn everthing to on@1080p and then keep everything else to high (minus the "oh look at my hair shit") and my game rarely goes below 52FPS. This game is using 99% of my GPU constanly as well. Makes the fans sounds like a helicopter so really wish it didn't. Never had a new release play this well for me. Minus the random crashes this game loves to do to you.

How do you cook meat? I killed a wolf, looted meat, found a campfire - Gothic logic dictates that I now cook it and eat it to restore HP. But I can only ignite/douse the fire. What gives?

Except that it's stupid that using the "wrong" sword deals 0 damage, it would make more sense to be half or a quarter, but not 0.
