but immediately it looks like signs give you more opportunities to do cool ****
i just maxed out the physical attack damage and then invested in melting people and ******* with their heads
which by the way, is really ******* useful. modified axii i mean. helps when there's ten drowners. i ******* hate drowners.
gotta say though, this looks super cool and all, but (i dont want to sound like a hipster, but i have to) having read the books and knowing geralt as a character before i ever knew the games existed, he would never do that move. he explicitly states how he's more about clean efficient strikes rather than theatrical ones. first time this is portrayed in the game is at the beginning, where she reprimands ciri - "that's enough, pirouette"
As I hear, there is a vendor somewhere that sells potions which allow you to re-spec your skills.
Don't know where though yet.
Source of info is: from the Witcher 3 loading screen tips.
i have heard of so many people having issues, frame rate drops, glitches and bugs all over
but in 45 hours of play time i have had 1 glitch.
not sure if i am super lucky or there are too many people nit picking.
I have a Geforce 780, Intel 2600k i7 and 16 Gigs of RAM. Game plays on lowest settings like Unity did on High, and that was bad enough as it was. No idea why it happens, but the game is completely ruined for me.
most likely need to do something with your driver, gpu settings or nvidia control panel, i have heard of quite a few people running it near maxed at 60 with a 780.
When I mean lowest I mean lowest possibly apart from screen resolution. All settings on low or off, and no post-processing. It really is a mystery, and reinstalling didn't do jack either.
I think that might just be CD projekt being bad at optimization. I have a Geforce GTX 960, and AMD fx-4300 and 8 gigs of RAM and playing Witcher 2 on highest settings is like 30 - 40 fps. I haven't even touched 3 yet since I haven't beat 2.
But then again, friend, I run 2x Radeon 280x on an i7 3770 with 16 gigs and I had a lotta problems with games due to the crossfire setup but Witcher 2 was the game that worked the smoothest out of all of them, never dropped under 60 frames throughout the entire game. Who knows what the problem may be for you, as I've seen a review on Witcher 3 on Youtube running it on Ultra with ~55 frames on a single GTX 980.
The Witcher 2 is not very well optimized, I tried running it last week on my 970 and it doesn't run nearly as well on medium settings as The Wticher 3 does on high/ultra, 3 is well optimized and they have received a lot of praise for that.
Probably. But there doesn't seem to be a pattern on who's struggling with it. A few people have a **** time playing it, regardless of NVidia or AMD. My theory is that its coding is reliant on a constant disk load transfer rate, and seeing as I have a **** HDD that might be the reason. Struggled with a few large scale games earlier because of that.
Same here. Hell, I'm even playing on the xbone edition (didn't preorder, so my local shop was out of PS4 versions, and pee-see is not swole enough to run it) and I haven't run into the dreaded savefile killer yet.
Witcher 3 is seriously my favorite game of the last five years or so.
I just ran into the Save file bug. It was an easy fix for me. If it happens, you'll just want to turn off your xbox via controller, then unplug your power cord. Wait a few minutes, then plug it back in. Wait a bit longer for power box to have an orange light and then start up. But, you do need to be connected online previously to have it store your xbox's current data to the Cloud system.
Just in case it happens, if not, then good hunting friend.
Seriously? It runs at 30 FPS on Xbone. I hate having less than 60 FPS(which is why I built a good gaming computer), but calling 30 FPS a slideshow just makes you sound like a whiny baby.
I never cared for the games, they look boring. Watched a stream a few days ago. Still boring. I mean, I'm happy for you guys having fun with the game. It's just not for me.
Friend of mine bought the PS4 bundle with the game. A day after he visited me and said: "I should have gotten the GTAV bundle."
Almost all. Just finished the last ones besides a couple of horse races on Skellig. Besides that, I did all of them, Witcher contracts and gwent quests included.
Oh, it is. I'm just naturally quick with video games. I beat DA:Inquisition in less than 30 hours, and that's with most of the quests done, also. Plus, 80+ hours out of a single player game is amazing. That's really hard to do while still being fun.
Agreed. The Witcher series bores me to ******* tears. You're stuck playing a specific guy you can't even customize, the RPG elements are so light they might as well spell it Lite, and unlike an RPG Lite like Mass Effect 2 it doesn't make up for the RPG Lite-ness by making the action intense and fun to play.
Dragon Age: Inquisition blows Witcher 3 out of the water, mang.

you bought a new laptop that doesn't meet these requirements? you might as well have kept you old one then..
I have had the game for 2 days, looks great, with interesting storyline & excellent voice acting but, jesus ******* christ on a stick do the controls suck,
It feels like you spend half the bloody game repeatedly running backwards and forwards over some item just trying to pick it up.
the combat is awkward, clunky and non responsive, so that you just end up slashing and hoping because blocking is so hit and miss.
I've played for 2 days now and, honestly, I have no desire to continue.
No idea how they could put so much effort into so much else and leave it with a control system you would expect to find in a game 5-7 years ago especially given how many older games out there have had it mastered for years.
Combat system is pretty fun as it seems to be the closest to realism you can get from a third person view. Rolling doesn't have an invulnerability frames like Dark Souls, and, in some cases, the game can be more difficult than the DS games. Starting off it'll feel kinda cheesy, rolling in, swinging at 'em a few times, then side-stepping, but once you get experienced it'll feel very fluid and skilled.
the second row of the combat abilities has one that reduces damage when dodging
fully upgraded it gives you invincibility frames so it can be more like you dark soulfags want it
you'll still stagger when hit though, just not take any damage
I didn't say that I needed the no damage frames, bud. I just said it didn't have them. I like the fact that I can't roll into an attack and not get hit.
It's not **** , it's just not amazing. The movement has a small amount of, for lack of a better word, jank to it. But overall it's not bad. The horse, though, is the word. I curse its name pretty much every time I ride somewhere
the controls are not the greatest. The closest thing i can compare geralt's movements outside of combat to is assassin's creed. the combat's okay. It feels like what you'd actually do in a fight, you move slowly, keep your eye on a target and try to keep them all in front of you. it does lack impact though. enemies definitely dont react like they do in bloodborne or the arkham games. the content makes up for it. quests are actually great. I even cared for the people involved a few times. Sure didnt happen with any other game last year
The combat system is fantastic in my view especially for such a massive open world game. Its difficult and sometimes a bit unfair but if you jump into a fight with lets say 8 people you dont want to be in the centre or your gunna get cut to ribbons. Stay on the outside and use your signs to maintain advatage. I think everyone expects to be able to escape any attack and beat multiple opponents easily. The trick is to put yourself in a position outside the enemies range unless your sure you can handle the attack. Its more about forethought than improvisation and i love that
Actually it's amazing. So many people complain about it, yet it always seems to be people who haven't played it. I got so involved in the combat that I started moving around. The music gets going and blood starts pumping, and the ranges of the weapons are so accurately done that you can dodge attacks by just a hair. The combat is immensely fun, once you finally get the hang of it. You'll end up dodging attacks into double parries and setting entire groups on fire, or blasting them to their feet and lunging a sword into their chest.. That, and the ******* killmoves are god damn beautiful. It's like Shadow of Mordor all over with the killmoves:
This guy kind of sucks at the combat, but the kill moves are in there: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMmTKT7u7Tw
Oh, you can also dismember any part of their body. Unlike most games, there isn't a "limb" system where it only breaks off certain parts. The game has a "Dismember" chance that you can increase with runes and such, that actually has a chance to cut the person in half wherever you slice. It's ******* beautiful when it happens.
i was at this place of power and when i called roach to help me ride down the hill
he started to walk on his front hoofs as we were going down
i think it was near some harpies
you gotta git gud to make it past the tutorial in the witcher 2
the game is ******* unfair in the beginning
EVEN MORE SO THAN DARK SOULS
you're supposed to drink your potions before every fight
gets to be a cakewalk in the later levels though
