Saying "Game is sub-30FPS" is quite different than saying "Game is 30FPS with dips below". Those are two totally different implications. Witcher is 30FPS game with dips below, as far I understand from reviews.

Without commenting on the quality of the post, I don't think I'm going out on a limb to state that Leb's post is clearly a joke post. Come on, just look at the last line:
Do you all think he is reading the text and compiling quotes all while being oblivious to the scores?

You have to be confident to wear a tunic like that.
There is a bit of gap between the scores and the text for some of the reviews. Especially when it comes about reviewing a RPG. You would think that the quality of the quests would matter more in the final score, but in the end, it's the reviewer's privilege to decide.
All in all sounds like a great game, too bad there are no PC reviews/impressions yet.

Seems like the chose visuals over performance. Hopefully they iron out some of the issues in patches. Otherwise, I am very pleased they are pushing the visuals.

Ah, sorry about that. Good to know.
too hard to tell these days, heh
I can see this potentially being added to the list of games he gives a 10/10 to. Looking forward to it big time.
This game is a victory for the traditional games industry. At a time where publishers are hesitant to invest, The Witcher 3 shows that creating the biggest, most ambitious and graphically impressive game possible can still reap massive critical and financial success. Hats off to CDPR, thank you for creating this game, believing in console and PC gamers, and showing the industry that traditional games are still the pinnacle of the hobby.

Well, it's important info. Although it might not reflect the pstched and finished retail copy

You look very sensitive about what was talked about. I'm just giving you tips on how to care less about what other people might think, you might just be a bit more likeable this way and have more fun also. Its a win win situation for everyone.
I think DF wants to be 100% sure that they have final copy with actual day 1 patch after getting backlash from jumping the gun with Project CARS.
Last ones I can remember were GTA IV, MGS4, and Bayonetta 2.

if i were to guess, there are quests which have you looking for items, but in doing so would actually give you more perspective of the world instead of it being "another fetch quest", because 1) it extrapolates on the world, surrounds, political climate and 2) tells a personal story of the npc relative to what's happening with the world.
in essence, you "collect" something but the big difference being you don't just go from here to there to do something. you do it because it opens up a viewpoint, a side story, or something that is actually of value story-wise and immersion-wise.
so i don't view it as fetch quests, really. there's only so much you can do with video games, sadly. you either go to a place to kill something or collect something. sadly, those are the interactions prevalent in games.

I agree, and that doesn't change a single thing that I said.
The reviews (including a Polish one that wasn't posted here) are EXTREMELY polarising.
http://www.cdaction.pl/artykul-41457/wiedzmin-3-dziki-gon--recenzja-cdactionpl.html
If the argument for that is that different people have different opinions, then you could add up all the variables that could influence their scores (tastes, experience, expectations, deadlines etc) and the review process as a whole would look rather pointless. Yet that still wouldn't stop people gaping at all the big 9's and 10's, blindly praising something they haven't even played yet.
Try being negative to something you equally haven't experience and watch the pitch forks come out.
This is all so ridiculous. Every time.

The Witcher 3's world is supposedly 2.5 times larger then Skyrim's world.
We are talking about 14 square miles (Skyrim) with 52 square miles (Witcher 3)
I love Skyrim so this is no knock against that game. I just think more memory would allow for the freedoms of having larger scope overall.

He specifically says something about wishing that some moments could hold 30 I have to watch it again... Better wait girl DF like you said
I think someone said PC code wasn't being sent out until today/tomorrow. So maybe by the end of the week?

Polygon review will also be interesting since recently 'they' said that they want (nintendo) to kill the consoles.
Most gamers are getting PC version including me so I would like to see some PC (with some I mean 4-5 ) reviews but still playstation 4 review makes sense since it is universal device.

Give me tips via PMs if you think I need coaching advice for posting on forums.
Interesting to see how the 750 ti compares on this one, has been somewhat of a multiplatform king over the past year.
Sounds like Xbox One and PC review copies were not sent out.

This thread is embarrassing.
What enemy is that!? Took quick to tell the name
Perfect. Just needs the "then fuck off" quote somewhere (unless it's already there and I can't see it because I'm on mobile).

I doubt that. Would still be nice to have impressions from all versions.

Looks like a wyvern. Sorta a scaly, feathered, small dragon-like creature. The toy poodle of draconic races.
You'll recognise a real dragon when you see one, if Witcher 2 is anything to go by.
Too far out to tell properly, but I think that is Cockatrice. Anyways that is way too small to be dragon.
Besides dragons are almost extinct in Witcher world, finding one is super rare

Was everyone reviewing the PS4 version so far?

Why did everyone get PS4 copies to review? seems weird. I mean I will be playing there but I thought Xbox had a marketing deal. Wouldn't they want people to review that copy?

I love the players reaction:
"Look at all the pretty birds flying about, I'm just going to turn the camera and admire the view some more...oh shit a dragon!!!"
I'm not even on board the hype train, I'm highly sceptical of any open world RPG after DA:I, but if positive feedback makes you less interested in a game, then you must be there for a controversy or something, that's what I meant.
To the bolded part:
Gamespot did not get a paid trip, I wish people would stop saying that. It's a serious accusation and a plain lie. I also don't understand how gaming sites have an interest in a game selling well.

The Kotaku review is a very entertaining read. Can't wait to play it!
