Default TW3 Review thread

Because I'm lazy, I'm just redirecting to Neogaf's own thread.

Lots of high score right now, I'm not going to bother reading them though, I don't want to be spoiled.

update:
- Looks like PS4 framerate isn't that great.

Do we care for PS4 framerate?

IGN 9.3? I thought that number is a code for virtually unplayable games, but paid review so readers know that they shouldn't really buy it.

Apart from that, where's Escapist's review from the guy that game 10/10 to Dragon Age 2? I really need to see it before I die.


EDIT:
Sorry for misinfo, IGN number code is 9.7:
http://www.dorkly.com/post/66182/how…me-kickstarter

EDIT2:
So far 22 reviews on metacritic, none below 80%:
http://www.metacritic.com/game/plays…critic-reviews

I'll quote that 80% one:

Playstation Official Magazine UK
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a surprising failure as an open-world video game, but within its beautifully lit world of monsters lies a much more traditional story-driven RPG of immense quality.
And I'm reading it like this - TW3 doesn't contain endless trashmob respawns and as such is a failure on consoles, but we actually like that new openworld design never seen on consoles before!

http://www.cdaction.pl/artykul-41457…dactionpl.html here is a real review, not by those paid sites; seems game has lots of problems and in the second part you will 1 hit kill everything like in amalur; general impressions is that its a good game but nowhere near a 10/10

oh and this http://polygamia.pl/Polygamia/51,964….html?i=0&bo=1 obvious downgrade is obvious

That's what I was asking vurt to show!
Nice find thanks.
Definetly a downgrade, or FoV too harsh or impossible to disable.

It's consolepics that's downgraded. Not PC. Which means… I don't really care.

I still expect the game to be great, but witcher senses could indeed get annoying pretty fast and ruin many quests.

If I see this travesty on PC, I'll definetly turn on the rage mode:
http://polygamia.pl/Polygamia/51,964…5381.html?i=15

I mean look at that. The hair there looks worse than in TW2.
Rags are still okay (different time of day, different light plus considering it's a console) but wtf is that on their head on the new pic? Cheap ebay wigs?

I do because that will determine how my PC version looks.

If it's about the looks, I believe this is the only thing you need to care about:



JK-Money posted it in the PS4 gameplay thread on Neogaf.
Good enough to drool over? I'd say yes.

Impressive score so far but let's wait for more "significant" reviews.

So disappointing. Hopefully the gameplay will make up for it.

Do not be sad yet. Both those pages say that they have only seen PS4 version, and believe that PC version may be much better.

Yes, those comparison shots are incredibly discouraging.

When Sony and Microsoft finally announced plans to develop new consoles, I was excited at the prospect of games finally not being held back by the lowest common denominator. Sadly, the latest console tech is laughably mediocre and hasn't done much to help gaming tech growth.

Perhaps that's why CDP is holding back the PC review copies. Or it could be PC user interface aspects…

Maybe they will do the opposite of what happened with Witcher 2. They made that demanding for good PCs, then worked on cutting down for Xbox version. Maybe this time they will work on improving PC version, and make Enhanced Edition.

We can hope for that in the future, but for now they are saying the graphics are the same between platforms.

I have read review you have linked and you know what? This guy's favourite games are Quake, Diablo and "japanese slashers". He simply isn't an RPG player. To his credit he has the guts to admit that!

Okay!!!

I try not to swear here but FUCK it I watched a ING review of the Witcher 3! A person can only take so much. I was starting to feel like a child on Christmas that couldn't help but look under their parents bed to see what they were getting.

I will wrap this in spoiler tags though it is only one person review for ING 9.3/10 on the PS4.

Spoiler


Sounds like we are getting the open world we have been craving.
