Developers on suicide watch.
I'll just wait for the Witcher 4 patch 2.0, which will release after 3 years from the original release date and will actually contain the advertised game.
...and be $15 on gog.com
If only that was what Cyberpunk actually got.
so more gwent distractions i hope
I hope they don't change the Gwent gameplay. The mobile version sucked
I should probably get around to continuing Witcher 3. I just have a mental issue with quests and choices blocking other quests that I just end up reading the wiki. Help me.
Don't underestimate the importance of playing snowballs
Fantastic news. I loved Witcher 3, we will see how good 4 is.
Cool, can't wait for the stutter, as per every other UE5 slop to come out
Expect minimum requirements = 5070ti,
5090 recommended for 60 fps with DLSS
I don't know get why they would make it with UE5 when they have their own in-house engine.
Others answered but it's easier/cheaper for them to use a vendor's engine. It makes sense.
What sucks is that UE seems to almost have a monopoly on engine leasing. I wish there were more options. Having all games use the same engine is putting too many eggs in the same basket.
They claimed that it was expensive and was part of the reason for cyberpunk's turbulent launch.
It's a real shame though, most UE5 runs awful it seems, and are still limited by single thread performance, unlike RED Engine which scales far better with more CPU cores.
Tbh RED engine also has its plethora of problems, missing features, and makes it harder to onboard new team members (need to train on new engine instead of basically every single dev having experience with unity or unreal).
Not that unreal is perfect by any shots.
They should go back to the NWN engine.
They ended RedEngine with Cyberpunk 2077, too much work. Everything going forward will be UE.
It's hard work to maintain and develop your own engine.
Pshh, UE5 when the FreeDoom engine exists
Did they fix cyberpunk yet?
Y'know they actually did
Noice. I haven't heard of anything about it since launch. They still updating it?
Occasionally we get the odd tech update but they consider it basically finished now.
But the tl:dr is
Bugs fixed
Optimized
Gameplay enhanced
Dlc is amazing
Too bad it's a linear game (except for the first mission), which is the opposite of what they promised.
It's nice they added a DLC, and I'm glad it's good, but it doesn't really mesh with the rest of the game.
Is it a buggy mess like it was at launch? No. Is it what they advertised and sold? Also no.
There's DLC?! With the state the game launched in I wouldn't even buy it, they honestly lost my trust
Honestly if shadow of the erdtree didn't come out it would be considered the gold standard dlc.
Edit: and you get to skip straight to the dlc on character creation. It makes some story decisions for you but if you want meat and not potatoes then that option is available.
I played through it last year and got one or two bugs tops, great experience and fantastic game (if you liked TW3)
I just finished four endings and am now grinding side missions. Through oner 90h of great gameplay, I had like 5 bugs (1 crash, 1 person walking on air, 1 body that rolled away like a car, 1 car stuck spinning wheels on a flat surface, 15 cases of "summoning" a car to see it dropping upside down 30 meters away)
I've seen worse in terms of bugs, and it's an interesting game with tons of content and different ways to build your character.
Yeah, yeah, we know they fixed the bugs but did they fix the game? Do cops still exclusively spawn behind you so you can escape them by driving in a straight line?
They also appear on some streets ahead - they are usually avoidable if you look at minimap all the time, but it's definitely not "just behind"
Interesting. I just looked it up and it seems they completely revamped the entire police system. It light finally be time for me to give it another shot.
It’s a good game now. I waited over 2 years to buy it and think it’s the best single player shooter I’ve played since Bioshock/HL2. Have completed it 5 times now using different builds and am thinking about getting the expansion if it goes on sale at xmas.
I bought it on release because TW3 and Deus Ex are some of my favorite games but it was so bad back then that I haven't touched it since. Alright, I'll give it another shot.
It's aight now.
3060ti on endeavor getting 100+ fps at 1440. Some bugs here and there only seen one t pose in 40 hours
Just in time for me to actually play Witcher 3, I'm starting this weekend. I wasn't big on Witcher 2 and just never got around to 3 until now.
It is still my favorite game ever, regarding story, world-building, characters, music, graphics, quests and overall gameplay.
But it's a bit weak on combat mechanics, there I prefer Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3.
Oh you're in for a treat. The side quests in Witcher 3 are legendary. I love everything about that game.
if you're on pc. get the friendly ui mod and try to hide the mini map and use 3d maps instead. immersion is so much better
This. I spent 84% of my first playthrough looking at the minimap.
