I'm downloading the Witcher 2 again so I can check my quest journal.
I can't remember any of that :-/

Well, it's now more likely than ever before given that the founders have discontinued their shareholder partnership and they don't have majority shares in the company.

Looked strange because it seemed like Geralt's hair was unaffected by the wind when everything around him seemed like it would break in half.
Urgh.
Lesson of the day : whatch with who you might sleep with XD
Was supposed to start today, but Sony/PS seems to be sitting on it.
There is 10 or so Witcher 3 streams going on atm and none, official or unofficial, has been banned today.

Metacritic is dumb and all, but currently Witcher 3 is above Dragon Age: Inquisition in the rankings. Honestly, with how mass market a game needs to be to score so highly, I don't know whether this is a good thing or not.
But seriously, if it ever happens we now know who to blame.

And if you never played Witcher 1 & 2 how do you know what to choose ?
Is there some context to these questions ? Those names mean nothing to me right now....
I really liked how Mass Effect did it with interactive comic based decisions.
Presumably, these are for people who played the previous games. If you are on PC with saves or you're completely new then you're probably better off declining to answer the questions.

Kotaku's review gave my chills especially the beard part and the passage of time; and how it reminds you of how much time has passed.
Goddammit, I just watched a summary of both games last night and only remember who half these people are.

All right Nolan fan lolKotaku's review gave my chills especially the beard part and the passage of time; and how it reminds you of how much time has passed.
VanOrd said a guide would be put up on Gamespot describing the background of these choices to people new to the series. Strange the game would just throw them at newcomers though
Oh, cool. That should help.

If you remember half, then you know what choices to make.

I think i am going to connect emotionally. I am ready for this.

I wouldn't call Blood Borne mass market and it scored similarly

*Bloodborne. One word.

IGN Live going live with some TW3 coverage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PahEFn5aQSg
I watched a bit of video reviews here and there (trying not to overdo it since I do plan to play this at some point) and despite many aspects of the game looking great, there's something that's really bothering me.
The swordplay looks really stupid based on what I've seen so far.
example: http://www.gfycat.com/KindlyBraveBufeo
It just looks like a lot of really weightless spinning. There are other things, too, of course, but it just looks dumb and the spins are constant.

If it's anything like the other games, you're just looking at a very low level player using the starting attacks.
As far as how fast, nimble, and spinny Geralt is--that's just his style. Sorry bro.

Are there no foot print trails in the snow? I mean, that was kind of last gen.
GameSpot some times for TW3's retail release in NA; http://www.gamestop.com/gs/pages/events/Witcher_3/

It's PC gameplay around 60 fps as well, according to the streamers.
IGN guy said they're walking through an area of the city that he has never been to except in passing, and he played ~120 hours.
EDIT: Highest level armor is acquired through crafting, not a vendor.
PC ultra footage shows footprints in the dirt, not sure about snow.
http://www.twitch.tv/ign its on twitch too, if someone likes twitch over youtube.
Max playback rate is 6k, I thought twitch max kbs was 5k, oh well. Looks nice.
Maybe? Would be nice to get Witcher 3 benchmarks before release date, but probably wont happen.
Anything interesting on that page for someone outside the US? Gamestop's blocked the IPs from my country lol
Geralt's sword fighting style is described as being derived from dance so it makes sense.
Novigrad looks awesome, damn, I wanna keep watching but I a class in 10 mins lol
Edit: Go fullscreen if youre watching, the youtube comments are worse than twitch, Game of Thrones spoilers and the like.

Visually it looks pretty much the same as PS4
I started playing The Witcher 2 again recently on a new PC I bought and it looks gorgeous. But I was struck by how bad the game mechanics were in some aspects.
You play this preternatural monster hunting badass. So what do you do for a large part of the game? Rummaging through containers for scraps of leather and other crap to craft into objects.
Total mood killer. The Bioshock series and Elder Scrolls had the same issue. I haven't played The Witcher 3 but if it suffers the same issue it might put me off trying it.

Yup. They're constantly saying pirouette, parry and riposte in combat in the books.
Have you ever played an RPG before? They're full of crap to pick up and sell/craft with.
60 FPS is everything. I am sure that's not the only difference, but 60 fps just makes such a huge difference.
