I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, personally for me, I'd prefer The Witcher 3 to be cancelled in this case.

It' would be like euthanizing an infirm hospital patient on life support that doesn't want to live their lives in agony and pain.

I'd rather simply fondly remember the legacy of The Witcher 1 & 2 than live knowing that The Witcher 3 exists as an abomination.

Seventy five days ago I was informed that Payday was going to be free in seventy five days.


Seventy five days ago I set a timer to go off in seventy five days.



It's now seventy five days later, and Payday is not free.

I'm sure The Witcher 3 isn't going to be a bad game, it's just going to be crushed by its own hype train and peoples unrealistic expectations.

It's not going to be a bad game, but realize that a good console game is the equivalent of a mediocre PC game. It's not going to be up to the standards of the original Witcher games. They've already dumbed-down the combat and potion mechanics.

I remember seeing that almost a year ago.


And when I saw it it was OC, not a repost from 9gag.

I looked it up, apparently they moved it a week forwards so it's the 17th instead of the 10th.

Not sure why, but whatever.

Is that fall because of the AC stuff?

Or because people are coming to their senses about Ubisoft being an awful company?

Yes, because if it's on a Console it's autobad (or mediocre, in this case). :palm:

The only thing that's being toned down are the graphics.

I was going to refute this by listing games that were on consoles but also very good on PC, but then I realized something.

There literally aren't any.

Portal 2 was ported to consoles after the fact, like most Valve games.


Skyrim was a gross dumbing down of Oblivion. The combat was much better, but could have been more. Not to mention that the controller-based UI was godawful.

Oblivion was awful on both PC and console.

Well, I guess on PC you could mod it so it no longer resembled Oblivion, but still.

Never played it, but from what I've heard it was a terrible port.

And Oblivion was a gross dumbing down of Morrowind, which was not natively developed on or for consoles.

Yes, because if it's on a Console it's autobad (or mediocre, in this case). :palm:


Then how do you explain the phenomenon of PC gaming series that are made worse when later entries are released on consoles?

Examples are: Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six, Unreal Tournament, Crysis, Thief, Deus Ex, Diablo, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Quake, Far Cry, Medal of Honor, Gothic, System Shock (in the form of Bioshock), Command and Conquer and many other series.
