i was hoping for one of the nude scenes

[–]KingMonten 151 ポイント152 ポイント  (6子コメント)

One thing I like about this game is not that it has nude scenes, but the fact that they included them and still treated their audience like the adults they are supposed to be by showing them. GTAV is the same way. The game is marketed to adults and acts like it.

Too many games show just an ass shot and then fade to black, which just makes me think "Why even include this in your game, if you were gonna half ass it?"

[–]AllHailPinwheel 67 ポイント68 ポイント  (2子コメント)

"ass shot"

[–]SkeetySpeedy 31 ポイント32 ポイント  (8子コメント)

The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt (shown in gif), is one of the best RPG's out there. Not just recently, but ever.

The animations, the world itself, all of it is top notch. Should absolutely be (and I think is considered now) the gold standard of open world games.

[–]IamWaffen 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (36子コメント)

Just bought it last weekend. It's really good. Although Dragon Age came out before the Witcher, (I think) it feels like Dragon Age inspires to be what the Witcher series is, but almost always fell short. Witcher 3 is pretty amazing.

[–]Gervant_of_Lyria 46 ポイント47 ポイント  (3子コメント)

The best part about their animation is that it had to be synced to 15 different languages, 7 of which were fully voice acted.

Andromeda couldn't even get English right.

[–]Roggi44 129 ポイント130 ポイント  (31子コメント)

They really synced their animations to different languages?

[–]Neph1lim 206 ポイント207 ポイント  (25子コメント)

They sure did. At the very least the 7 languages that are voice acted.

I'm sure a quick Youtube search will show you the different languages.

If you hold every game up to the standard of Witcher 3, and every developer up to the standard of the CDPR team that created Witcher 3, you're gonna be disappointed a lot.

I don't expect every Scotch I taste to be as good as the Laphroaig 1966 I had last year for that very reason. Not everything can be exceptional, some things have to be allowed to be just good or even average or mediocre. Something isn't bad or terrible just because it doesn't live up to the best of the best, but that's exactly what people do these days for some reason, something is either fantastic 10/10 or its garbage 2/10.

[–]Flumbooze 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Still, Mass Effect has a massive company and budget behind it, surely we can expect a certain level of quality especially if CDPR can do it for The Witcher 3?

[–]InfectedAztec 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

CDPR are a small developer. If I picked a random game I own out of my collection I would be very surprised if the creators or publishers didn't have more resources at their disposal.

CDPR, imo, made the best game they could. Most others, imo, tend to make the most profitable game they ccan, often at the expense of quality

[–]Papabearr 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But you also don't pay $5000 for all other whiskeys. These "AAA" games all charge $80 yet the quality is all over the place.

[–]Thatuserguy 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think I recall a studio tour where they mentioned that they do, but then they go in after and manually refine it

[–]Stellewind 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yeah they have a algorithm to auto-animate the lips with the language input

[–]GamingTrend 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Often using Speedtree as a middleware, but that still requires an animator to go in and tweak it to make it look more natural. Same with VOCAP or MOCAP -- an animator has to go in and smooth it out after the fact. Andromeda looks like what happens when you don't go in after the fact and just let whatever the middleware generated stand.

I don't know about other dubs, but russian dubs were terrible. To match the scene time, they had to speed up or down the sentences. Characters sometimes sounded extremely fast which was annoying or very slow which made them sound drunk. It took several patches to fix that, but it's still present in some scenes.

Roach has a male voice in one of the Blood & Wine expansion quests. He has a really odd and goofy American accent too.

[–]Blackstone01 91 ポイント92 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Still female. Geralt asks her why Roach is female but has a male voice, and Roach asks if he's ever actually talked to a horse before or something.

The combat needed work, as did the enemy scaling, pre them actually adding in enemy scaling, that was a nice feature

[–]armanifannypack 51 ポイント52 ポイント  (10子コメント)

I enjoyed the combat, a lot of people seemed to want something more complex but the game was more based around narrative and I liked the simplicity, yet freedom of it.

[–]FearDeniesFaith 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (9子コメント)

It wasn't the simplicity or complexity for me, as much as I enjoyed Witcher 1 and 2s more complex mechanics, preparing a certain amount of potions ect I enjoyed that Witcher 3 let me get on with enjoying the story and gave a more simplified version of the potion and oil system, instead giving the Alchemy tree for those of us that wanted a more indepth potion based gameplay

[–]bigfashionmeme 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I played the whole game before realizing how potions work, I just ate a lot of food.

[–]Idiocracy_Cometh 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Raw wolf meat, wild honey, and water make up a very natural diet. Never mind the taste, let's assume that honey works as ketchup.

[–]cata1yst622 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Peppercorns is my favorite. Just eating a handful of peppercorns.

[–]Wreckn 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I loved the potion system in the first and especially the second for how true they were to the books. The decoctions Geralt uses turn him into a super human, put a ton of strain on his body, and need to be prepared and ingested at precise amounts. They weren't depicted as something he could pop open a bottle of and drink.
The Witcher 3 simplifies the system for a smoother gameplay experience, but it doesn't give the same atmosphere and seriousness of a situation that requires you to use potions.

[–]Deto 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The thing is, in Witcher 2 the options just weren't worth it for me to sit through the whole tedious creation and drinking sequences. I'd rather just have a slightly harder boss fight. And so I almost never used potions. I bet their data showed that most people did the same

[–]Wreckn 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe some people didn't bother, but much like the books, it was extremely difficult to kill many monsters without using potions.

[–]AnalEnthusiastic 67 ポイント68 ポイント  (30子コメント)

What's wrong with the combat? I just bought Witcher 3 and I think the combat is the most fun I've had in an open world game before.

[–]FearDeniesFaith 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (12子コメント)

It can get repetitive after awhile, atleast me and a few friends thought so, there are also some silly good tactics, but that could be me, I just thought a few people thought the same, it is a lot of leaping around, Huge Witcher 3 fan here btw, going to start my 4th playthrough soon

[–]Cole_the_Kosmonaut 48 ポイント49 ポイント  (6子コメント)

The leaping around is how it's supposed to be though. The Witcher style of fighting involves using their inhuman speed an agility to out maneuver their opponents. You'll notice that every other human in the game moves waaaaaaay slower than Geralt or Ciri. In Witcher 2, there is one point where you overhear a soldier talking about Geralt fighting during a battle and he says something along the lines of "It was like a whirlwind of steel spinning on top of the wall, I've never seen something move so fast."

[–]jambears 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (5子コメント)

There could have been more attack combos to help mix things up.

[–]Cole_the_Kosmonaut 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh yeah I would have enjoyed if the combat had more options I was just referring to the "it is a lot of leaping around" bit of his comment. Just wanted to point out that in the lore that's how Witchers fight.

[–]moal09 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Balance is off too.

Quick attacks are way way better than slow attacks based on how often you fight groups of enemies and how quickly enemies recover from stagger (some enemies will guard so fast after you parry them that you don't even have time to do a slow attack after).

Alchemy is also ridiculously OP with decoctions once you understand how it works and you unlock the later tiers. I was literally unkillable with 2-3 of them up at once.

[–]Genlsis 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yup, alchemy whirlwind here. It's funny because when I started I thought alchemy was boring/weak compared to the spells and physical attacks. But man, later on, holy shit. I have an unkillable amount of health, do insane damage and kill just about everything by simply holding down fast attack.

[–]homeroqete 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (20子コメント)

But it's pretty good! Not perfect... Pretty good.

[–]Crosseyeaccount 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (17子コメント)

I loved the combat in the game, maybe because i was sick of games with the Arkham style combat in it where all you have to do it hit the counter button to win.

[–]FearDeniesFaith 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd say it was more than pretty good!

[–]SykoEvil 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I love the combat tbh, the only thing with enemies is it's hard to find an area for your level after you leavr white orchard

[–]superstitionis 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I had the same problem when I first started. Do a main storyline quest or two in Velen, even if they're above your level-- they're not as difficult as they appear they'll be, and you'll level up in no time with all the XP they give you. Then it'll be a lot easier to wander and do side quests :)

[–]FearDeniesFaith 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah this was one of the issues and then you'd find an area you completely out leveled, thats why the scaling enemy level option they added was so good

[–]Forgot_password_shit 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The combat is good enough, but definitely not the selling point.

[–]njandersen97 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Like others have said, combat. While Geralt has some options for attacks, most bosses have very little mechanics and are pretty linear. The only exception being the very last boss in Blood and Wine. Also, the movement in the game can be wonky at times and takes some adjusting. All of this is just my opinion.

[–]Play_by_Play 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (4子コメント)

The bosses in Heart of Stone were all BEASTS. I remember when The Caretaker knelt down and cancelled my Yrden tall trap because I wanted to cheese him after I got tired of trying to beat him in a fair fight. I was like "I can't believe you done this..." and then had to fight him for another 30 minutes.

[–]njandersen97 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (2子コメント)

That's true actually. I always forget about Heart of Stone, which is a shame because it had one of the best story arcs in the Witcher universe. The main game though, really didn't have any crazy boss fights. The Wild Hunt bosses all just had a lot of health or did a lot of damage.

[–]kodutta7 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Imlerith was actually my favorite fight in the game. Not terribly complex, but he did a ton of damage so you actually had to play well to get through it.

[–]mildlyfunnycommenter 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Movement. It was designed for analog console movement and it does NOT translate will onto PC. I genuinely wish they spent more time on that part of the port.

Secondly, the fact that it's a port to PC. Those are basically the only gripes I have with my 700-800 hours and innumerable play-throughs

[–]VonFalcon 68 ポイント69 ポイント  (29子コメント)

Wait, I'm just now playing the Witcher trilogy for the first time, is that Shani? Damn she looks fine, can't wait to finish the first game so I can see the better graphics on the following titles!

[–]meatchariot 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Don't forget to read the books, or at least 'The Last Wish' as it's a very quick read.

[–]VonFalcon 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (11子コメント)

The Last Wish

If I might ask, does it spoil the games in any way? Where is it chronologically in terms of the 3 games? (Meaning, when should I read it?)

[–]Stoichin 25 ポイント26 ポイント  (0子コメント)

All the books are before the games

[–]dengshow 19 ポイント20 ポイント  (6子コメント)

If anything the books reinforce the games by providing a lot of context for their references. I highly recommend (they also pretty much confirm why Yennefer is bae)

[–]TheLifeofGoy 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (3子コメント)

People on the Triss bandwagon just haven't read the books. She's a bloody man stealer.

[–]Feriluce 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, at least in the first game not reading the books gives you a more realistic experience, since geralt cant remember anything either.

[–]Hungry_Lion 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Triss is honestly kind of creepy in the books lol. She's thirsty as fuck in her POV chapters in the first (main) book.

[–]meatchariot 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's before all of the games. It's a lot of short stories. The games are supposed to be after the books, and they reference a good deal of things that happened in the books (but without spoilers), but they are relatively separate.

Chronologically, it's the first book.

[–]dennishamburglar 213 ポイント214 ポイント  (21子コメント)

the witcher feels as close to an "objectively awesome" game as we have on this generation of consoles. It's crazy how good it is. for a title this ambitious to only be plagued by a couple "minor annoyances" at most is insane.

As a Polish-American who is often embarrassed of the news that comes out of poland, this title and CDPR on the whole makes me really proud. heres to hoping CP2077 kills it.

[–]tjrae1807 50 ポイント51 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I've got nothing but the utmost respect for CDPR, even though I haven't gotten to play too much of their stuff.

The sheer amount of effort that gets put into these games, especially the small details, is a very fresh change to a lot of the cut corners that is seen in other games.

There's a term that was coined from the Who Framed Roger Rabbit movie called "Swinging the lamp" where they had animated dynamic shadows on Roger when in a room with a lamp swinging above him.

Did they need to do that? Not really. Did it help to make viewers suspend their disbelief just a little bit more? Absolutely!

There's certainly tight budgets and schedules in major game developments, but there really does need to be more of a push for shaking some lamps and putting that little extra effort

[–]Ayy_2_Brute 110 ポイント111 ポイント  (17子コメント)

I got the Witcher and all the DLC for like $30. Not an RPG gamer in the slightest. Played a few hours of Skyrim and Fallout, but that's it. Not my style of games.

This, though... I don't know whether it was the story, the incredible depth of the characters, but this kept me locked from start to finish. Things like the silent scoff she makes in this gif really go a long way towards making a game like this playable for me. Nothing felt repetitive, the cut scenes seemed natural... I was gushing about it for weeks to my friends.

[–]innerfrei 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not an RPG gamer in the slightest.

I have been a strategy games (Civ V, Starcraft II, Company of Heroes and such) fan for my whole life, never touched a RPG before. Heard good things about Witcher 3 and decided to give it a try.

I really wanted to but couldnt get into Skyrim, or Dragons Dogma, or Fallout 4, or most GTA games (5 was the first I actually finished)... but it sounds like you felt the same and it cracked you. So that looks good for me

[–]Neph1lim 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Remember when their lead developer was interviewed and he mentioned something along the line of "we're going to make Andromeda the game that rivals The Witcher 3" ?

Kinda make me wonder if he said that ironically, because they sure as hell are not even playing in the same league now.

[–]pandapoops2 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (7子コメント)

I have to replay this soon... I got the bad ending because I went in without a guide. I didn't realize some of the quests effected the ending. That being said, phenomenal game.

[–]StamosLives 40 ポイント41 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Witcher 3 has placed a mold in which other games seemingly cannot break in terms of game play, entertainment, content, story, and fun.

I look forward to a game that can and will break it but damn; W3 is a great fucking game.

[–]Neph1lim 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (3子コメント)

In a way, I feel sorry for CDPR. They just placed a very major pressure on their studio to match or even exceed The Witcher 3 with Cyber Punk 2077.

As long as EA keep away from them though, I'm sure they'll be fine.

[–]Wilsander 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Unless people dont leave the studio my guess is they will only get better at it. Bioware would've if they used the same people, but Andromeda was made by a another, renamed, studio.

I loved witcher, but i would prefer the cyberpunk theme a lot more. Cant wait for their next game.

[–]zapiks44 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Witcher 3 is a big reason so many people are disappointed with Andromeda. That game raised the standard so much when it comes to WRPGs.

You all have to remember that Witcher 1 was loaded with goofy writing and stiff animations when talking.

You know what CDPR did? They heard everything and released Witcher Enhanced edition which was a whopping patch that was gigabytes (that was huge back then). It didn't solve everything but it definitely improved the game by a mile.

Then they did Witcher 2 and you can see lessons learned there.

Thing is it would be extremely time consuming, LA Noir was pretty linear as far as I remember, nothing like an open world/RPG.

[–]20000Fish 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Witcher 3 didn't use mocap at all (at least for the dialogue/cutscenes/mouth syncing/etc). The game was too big (too many dialogues/cutscenes/etc) and the lip animations are different depending on the language. It would've required a HUGE budget and a lot more time if they wanted to mocap all the dialogue.

In the end, it looks better than many games with cutscenes that did use motion capture.

There's a scene near the beginning of the game where Tess is bitten and knows she's going to die. Enemy troops are moving in and she insists that Joel and Ellie leave while she slows down the enemies. It's a big intense and complex moment and there's tears from Tess and Joel as they're kind of Partners, Friends (Lovers?). Finally Joel leaves and we see Tess, deeply emotional, take a breath, regain her strength and accept her fate.

This one blew me away.

AAA games spend most of their money on advertisements and bribery. Every YouTube video starts with the same god damn mass effect ad and yes I am blaming you mass effect.

Daily reminder that this was almost two years ago. Yes, I'm looking at you, BioWare!

ELI5 how is it Witcher 3 manages to do this so well but Andromeda misses the mark, I can't imagine Witcher 3's budget was bigger? I just don't get it ><

[–]alcadeias56 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Correct me if I'm wrong but, Andromeda had 40 something million budget and the witcher 3 had about 90 million.

[–]NeuroPalooza 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Huh that's honestly surprising, I know Witcher 3 was $80-90 million but I just assumed a game as ambitious as Andromeda, from such a major studio, would have a budget at least that large. I can't find any good info on it, but the consensus for ME3 was in the $40-50 range so you might be right. So weird.

Most of it probably went to marketing

[–]DDE93 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That, and a crapload of rookie devs. Andromeda was shuffled off to new branch.

[–]DaBa1 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Budgets were almost the same from what I've seen.

Witcher 3 does better because it was made by better developers that had plenty of time to polish their game, simple as that. Andromeda was made by BioWare Montreal, a support team for BioWare, so little to no top notch talent probably. Add EA to the mix that probably rushed and put pressure on the developers and you got a result that's unsurprisingly meh.

OF course, I'm not trying to excuse anything, they did a shitty job and that's all that matters for players, excuses are irrelevant.

ME:A - about $40m budget TW3 - about $35m on the game $81m total budget. The rest went to marketing.

[–]r40k 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Other way around. $46m on dev, rest ($35m) on marketing.

[–]silverside30 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Do we know if Andromeda's budget includes marketing? If so, that's surprising small.

Haha. Oh god, the anti-mass effect and Witcher 3 circle jerk has finally reached its apex.

I think it was the scene when Ciri was in a sauna with some ladies and u saw their tits, they suddenly started bouncing around while they sat there hahaha it was hilarious

[–]noxumida 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

Man I wish they would come out with another DLC. I really want to play Witcher again but I just finished it for like the fourth time and it's less exciting when you've memorized all the dialogue and all the quests are still familiar...

[–]bumblebeebot 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Guys its pretty obvious EA doesnt have the budget for that kind of quality
