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.
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.
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 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
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.
I sure hope so, I got quite burned on the last big budget game I've played years after the hype. God of War 2018 felt like a culmination of every wrong with gaming at that time (outside of mtx) and AAA games only got worse from there.
I will say, i didn't think the main story was that strong. But the huge amount of amazing side quests more than made up for it.
Out of curiosity, what didn't you like about God of War 2018?
I went into detail here. In short, nothing was actually engaging. Combat, puzzles and traversal all felt shallow.
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.
