Anyone else concerned about The Witcher 3 downgrade? i'm not sure what to think anymore.

Already have the game pre-ordered by the way...

Nah, it's CDProjekt, looks great to my eyes and you can probably expect a free upgrade to a enhanced edition somewhere down the line. Knowing them they're likely to continue to polish and upgrade it well after release. The story and characters are the important things anyway.

Edit: I am concerned with whether they've filled the world with interesting side quests and meaningful content outside the critical path. Coming off of DAI's filler quest extravaganza, that's a potential concern, but I've had no reason to doubt their ability yet.

 

[Annubis]

Why the hell are the gem prices at 50 euro cent. Who can even make money at this point?

 

[Ozium]

The good news is that if you purchased the game any time before 37 minutes ago, you should also now have the retro games in your library as well.

I was going to buy it yesterday and had I known this I probably would have pulled the trigger

 

[Vazra]

Is it a downgrade? A dev commented that some parts will look worse for several reasons while other look much better. I'm okay with what I've seen in the latest gameplay video.

So that confirms visual inconsistencies. NICE!

 

[lashman]

Woo!

... and indeed hoo!

I also heard that they were running on "high" settings with some features disabled. Not sure why they would, but I heard it. Maybe they are trying to match console graphics so no one is disappointed?

 

[Kurt Russell]

Okay, I have no idea about what's available over there so.... I guess.... buy the 500W XFX? That's enough to power a 970 SLI system.



Are you sure those a truly bad? Because PSUs have come a long way and as long as you keep away from the absolute low budget ones (20-30$) most are totally serviceable. Coolermaster and Thermaltake are solid brands for example but again, I don't know which PSUs exactly they're selling in your country.

They are selling the old Coolermaster and Thermaltake PSUs (and they charge the same for them as they charge for the XFX or Seasonic ones)

You wouldn't believe the kind of crap hardware vendors sell here (and the prices they charge)

Nope.

Pretty sure that gotten beaten to death back when they released some screenshots with mediocre looking wolves. So long as it looks as good as TW2 (still one of the best looking games out there), I don't see any reason to complain or be concerned. I'm mostly just happy it got delayed because I won't be able to afford a new video card until then.

Nope. I would be no less excited if it had Witcher 1 graphics. For me its all about the atmosphere and story.

 

[billmcdougal]

Nope.

My only real concern is with immersion-breaking effects like pop-in, stuttering, or screen tearing.

 

[bigzgod]

Hmm

Dying Light for $12. Tempting as hell, since they finally added a Russian 4 pack.

 

[MUnited83]

Hmm

Yep, really considering picking it up now. But may wait a few days to see if they put a run lock on it or not.

 

[Sarcasm]

Hmm

Dying Light for $12. Tempting as hell, since they finally added a Russian 4 pack.

Is this..region locked?

 

[Grief.exe]

Hmm

Dying Light for $12. Tempting as hell, since they finally added a Russian 4 pack.

That is an interesting proposition. From what I have seen so far, Dying Light looks like some mindless fun.

I am somewhat swamped in games right now, but $12 is such a massive discount.

[derExperte]

Which has one copy for 599rub which means it should be even cheaper. $12 is how much DL costs in Russia when buying it outside a 4 pack.

 

[MUnited83]

Obviously not. With the 4pack now you can get region free copies.

 

[kurahador]

The way I understands it, the cutscenes happen in real-time so any changes to the environment when you trigger one will make some of them looks bad unintentionally.

 

[Sarcasm]

Fine I will just wait two years for a sale since the only time I get replied is with an answer that isn't helpful. Yes it says Russian and I never even bought something from there even before this so called steam change happened. So yes I don't know how it all works.

 

[Chariot]

Obviously not. With the 4pack now you can get region free copies.

I swear I can remember that this was fixed at some point.

 

[MUnited83]

I swear I can remember that this was fixed at some point.

Nope, it was never ever fixed at all.

 

[Chariot]

Nope, it was never ever fixed at all.

Amazing, I shouldn't swear then.

 

[-Deimos]

Obviously not. With the 4pack now you can get region free copies.

So steamdb is wrong, or am I overlooking something?

edit: Oh, it's because of the 4-pack.

 

[ramoisdead]

I believe it was fixed that anybody from those region-locked countries couldn't buy 4-packs as a gift. Unpacking them still gives you ROW copies.

 

[bigzgod]

Which has one copy for 599rub which means it should be even cheaper. $12 is how much DL costs in Russia when buying it outside a 4 pack.

Yeah, it's $9 if the packs are evenly split but quite a few Russians want everyone else to pay for their copy, since the 4 pack has to be unpacked to get the other 3 copies to be ROW, hence the $12 per pack. That's not inclusive of any profit margin for the seller, ofc.

Is this..region locked?

It is not region locked but they can put a runtime lock on the game later on, if they so choose.

 

[Sajjaja]

It is not region locked but they can put a runtime lock on the game later on, if they so choose.

If it unpacks to ROW, a runtime lock won't matter would it?

 

[MUnited83]

If it unpacks to ROW, a runtime lock won't matter would it?

It unpacks to RU, without the activation lock.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

It unpacks to RU, without the activation lock.

That feels marginally more dicey, but the relapse on Russia prices is so tempting ha.

 

[Sajjaja]

It unpacks to RU, without the activation lock.

So potentially, if one were to activate it outside of Russia prior to a runtime lock, they could still be locked out if one were added later?

 

[MUnited83]

So potentially, if one were to activate it outside of Russia prior to a runtime lock, they could still be locked out if one were added later?

That's correct, although that now that the game is released that's marginally less likely to happen. At worst that could happen, but they could be nice guys and just make a new sub instead.(not affecting old purchases)

So tempting.....I might bite if someone were to buy a 4-pack, especially since my BB order got delayed until tomorrow.

 

[Blak_Status]

Worth the risk to me. Anyone selling?

 

[Sarcasm]

So you need to find a Russian correct?

 

[Turfster]

So you need to find a Russian correct?

Or does a Russian need to find you?


DailyIndieGame is selling Selknam Defense for PWYW over 0.99$, pay more than 1$ and get 2 keys.
Yes, it sounds just as weird to me.

 

[JaseC]

JaseC and I should start a business together doing this.

We can call it Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net.

 

[Ozium]

Still waiting for Deep Silver to deactivate my copy of Gat Out of Hell.

It's that shit, huh?

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Just don't get "bought out" by Bill Gates.

 

[Ozium]

It's that shit, huh?

not at all

 

[FiveElementNinja]

Dammit, Steam had to go down right as I was redeeming a key. Now it's stuck.

 

[-Deimos]

ehhh fuck it i'm in. If any Russian needs one more for a Dying Light 4-pack, let me know.

 

[RP912]

Smh I guess I will never finish downloading Watch Dogs. Come on Steam :/

 

[Backlogger]

Smh I guess I will never finish downloading Watch Dogs. Come on Steam :/

Never would have had that problem on Uplay right?

 

[RP912]

Never would have had that problem on Uplay right?

I downloaded it through steam...I wouldn't use Uplay if my life was depended on it :/

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's that shit, huh?

Nah JaseC was just pretty sure it was gonna happen. Dunno if cards popped up yet though.

 

[Chariot]

I downloaded it through steam...I wouldn't use Uplay if my life was depended on it :/

Why.

 

[InfiniteNine]

So when can I buy Neptunia so I can try it finally?

 

[Turfster]

So when can I buy Neptunia so I can try it finally?

Within the next 24 hours, normally.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

They have.
