I thought I was Dragon Ageing it but apparently there really is no reason to go back there later on so i just cleared out every teeny bit of the map and now I can finally move on.
So dat Bipson, SteamGAF

Not sure what AMD's recording solution is like these days but I'd imagine it's coming along nicely.
Regards to GFE and framecapture? Can't imagine it's that hard but then I'd have 3,4 upto 5 programs at once that can do that so unless they offered something different I'm not too sure of the benefit
I feel like I'm the only person who didn't really care for Axiom Verge. I liked the first few hours of the game, but then I just wanted it to end. I can't say I cared for the level design, the upgrades, or the lack of difficulty. I'm usually a fan of these types of games, but for some reason, this just never clicked with me. Strange.
Fuck, my new monitor has a stuck pixel.
Left bottom corner, so not immediately noticeable, but with my OCD surely will drive me bonkers...
Not sure what's Dell policy on those... Supposedly one stuck in my monitor (U series) warrants replacement, but I seriously doubt I'd manage to get a new one.
:
Any of these 'let's cycle colors on screen to get pixels unstuck' apps work? Anyone tried these?
Man, in the Witcher 3 thread are a kind of people I didn't see in all the game threads I followed so far. Moaning about reading in a rpg, don't understand things that get explained in the tutorial, puzzled when they can't jsut slice through and people who explain openly that they cheat. What is that, what even is that.
Raptr/AMD Evolve whatever is still behind GFE in my opinion. Even though it has 50Mbps option quality is worse than GFE recordings.
I would love to see SS function in GFE that would upload SS automatically to FB/Twitter/Flickr after taking it. ShareX can do that but it is complicated and sometimes it doesn't work (captures black screen)

The forked build of OBS that supports AMD's VCE is quite nice.

True, but there are so many. A common example is that people just grab all papers on a notification board without reading and wonder why they didn't get half a dozen quests, when some of them are just fluff (that is lost when you don't read it). Or the guy who makes a thunderbolt potion because the game tells him, but asks us what it actually does, when he can just look into his game and read what it does.your 400th rpg might be someone else's first. I imagine there's going to be a lot of Skyrim transplants who only play an RPG once every 5 years (if at all) are going to feel like they have no idea how to deal with the witcher's "we already told you how to do this once now get out there and do whatever you want" style of almost nonexistant handholding.
Well, maybe I push my ideals too much on others. I directly cheat only for fun sessions, like running amok in a GTA or building a house in Sims to burn it down. I already feel dirty when I have to look up guides when I am stuck in a quest somewhere.I've got no problem with people who cheat in a single-player RPG - done it myself plenty of times. If they're confused by not being able to hack through people or reading too much, that's their problem, not the game's.
Yeah, sure, it's their game, shouldn't be my business how they play it. But I am just taken back by this sight. Didn't encounter such in any other game thread I was part of.If you payed money for the game I feel you should be able to play it however you want.
So if that's cheating the whole game so be it. Just obviously you need to realize that you can't exactly talk about the areas you cheated in. Since it's vastly different from the actual way it's presented to the masses.
As for the earlier mention, with the way the game was marketed. They probably thought it was something they could jump in easy like Skyrim. So I don't blame them for that either. As I said there was going to be backlash regardless because of the media and hype. Especially when a large majority of those 1.5 million preorders are probably people who didn't even play the early games at all.
Probably.Most of these people must be new to the series and were dragged by the hype train, not that it's totally bad because CDPR must be enjoying the sales numbers. xD
EC was one of my standout titles from the last few years, the devs have definitely earned a day one purchase from me. Very pleased to hear the leader character has an actual avatar this time around in battle, it was my only gripe with the original, always felt weird for the "capitán" to order their men into battle then promptly vanish from the fray.The hotly-anticipated sequel to Expeditions: Conquistador is here. Behold Expeditions: Viking, and gasp in awe at its glorious visage.
This is seriously good news, SteamGAF. EC is an underappreciated gem of an RPG/Roguelike/strategy game. High hopes for the sequel.

One of my favorite missions in The Witcher 2 is early on, when you have to reassemble your silver sword. the game mentions that you need to do this, it puts it in your quest log, but it doesn't poke you and throw twenty red exclamation points with neon signs and everyone shouting at you from the balconies of town that you need to fix your sword, stupid.
the game just tells you you need to do it and kinda lays back, lets you get around to it. I really respected that about it. They knew that they gave you enough info, they put it in the menu, they respected you as a gamer to have the sense to check all of your options and not be a cryin' baby who needs to have every aspect of the game spoonfed to you.
I don't know if CDPR followed that kinda let-the-baby-walk-for-a-bit-and-if-it-falls-it-falls type of mentality with TW3 but your post kinda suggest that they did and kudos for them not making TW3 another vanilla idiots water-downed WRPG.
In TW3 there's some quests that straight-up get no quest log entries or notifications or anything. If you're paying attention, you can do it. If you aren't, you'll find a Quest Failed log down the road. It can be as simple as someone saying they need something It's frustrating, but oh so cool as well.One of my favorite missions in The Witcher 2 is early on, when you have to reassemble your silver sword. the game mentions that you need to do this, it puts it in your quest log, but it doesn't poke you and throw twenty red exclamation points with neon signs and everyone shouting at you from the balconies of town that you need to fix your sword, stupid.

I don't even know if that qualifies as respect. I would have preferred the stuff for that quest. It didn't bother me but I could have done it a lot quicker. Either you do it for all or not at all. Not a fan of the halfsies.
Looks good, mouse works to cover lack of kinect it seems. He didn't use a controller though but that shoudl work fine as well.
very much not pissed off/dont care
you're free to not like the things i like

the silver sword quest comes right at the beginning of the game and really serves to inform the gamer of how this game is going to work: you're gonna have to pay attention more than usual, know your menus, and we're gonna give you enough rope to work with but you gotta make your own knots.
It's not obtuse like the souls games can be at times, at least TW2 never felt that way. It felt liberating when compared to Skyrim or Dragon's Age, for example.

That whole thing sure must've been worth it for GMG in the end..
EDIT: Are you sure? They announced a 40% coupon yesterday for people who didn't get a working W3 key in a timely manner (that you had to manually request or something), not for everyone. Maybe that changed.

If you imported a Witcher 1 save you auto complete the Steel Sword quest in 2 the moment you get it due to the starting set rewards.
Though not quite Morrowind in it's execution of in game lore and so on, books, notes and notice board messages do really help shape the world of The Witcher. While you do gain quests from some of the stuff you pick up sadly the games outright tell you 'read this note silly' unlike TES where you can be rummaging through someone's house and find their book collection, have a quick read and hey presto off you go on a quest to retrieve the Sacred Nipple Ring of Righteousness which you've just been reading about. Now that's pretty cool how quests emerge out of nothing.
Though in my own gushing about The Witcher III, got to say the weather system is really well done, A slight spot of rain that started as nothing but drizzle soon turned into a torrential downpour. People were getting wetter and wetter and I swear puddles that started off small got bigger as I rode back the same way. Went of for about 5 in game hours and not the fly by night 5 minute show off effect some games use.
Also combat on horse back is verging on Mount and Blade levels of fun.
oh shit
Hidden Treasures were disappointment for me. When you find first clue and quest starts you just get highlighted area on map and game tells you go there and find treasure. I expected that we will get clues where to go next and that we need to figure out where is that next place. If i want waypoint on map i will play Assassins Creed

Then you'd have as much schtick as you have games.
It's the same with Bloodbourne. Hyped up console release = a bunch of people that may not have played the genre before and are getting shellshocked by things they didn't know how to process.
