>>334919831
Consoles are to blame but to be fair majority of PC users also have sub standard hardware.
One of the biggest downgrade in tw3 is the lighting (like in DS2).
Here is why the foliage looks like shit in the final version : They removed translucency on grass.
You can see translucency in the 35 mn demo.
>>334919831
>>334919896
But they still match or overpower console hardware.

Actually if you want to see something interesting here's Hitman 2016 on its lowest settings and..
>>334920882
Here it is on its highest
The difference is 90 FPS
>>334919831
>>334920316
I bet the actual game plays like VR kusoge and is pretty much a non-game. Time spent making the game look pretty is better spent creating a good story, or better yet great gameplay with lots of shit to do.

Yeah, it's wrong that they bait and switch, but you're still a retard for falling for it. Not to mention, would you rather that it came out as it was in marketing but ran like total fucking ass? I sure wouldn't.

>Having expectations that unrealistically good looking games will come out that way
But they do and they have. The games we're talking about already existed in such a state
>Yeah, it's wrong that they bait and switch, but you're still a retard for falling for it.
Nah, they're retards for thinking this wouldn't go unnoticed
>Not to mention, would you rather that it came out as it was in marketing but ran like total fucking ass? I sure wouldn't.
I sure would.
And it wouldn't run like fucking ass if
a) "marketing" version came out for PC
b) shit version came for consoles
c) PC version released 6 months later to give time for optimisation

I don't understand the logic of this.
If a company shows you how a game looks before it's released, why are we supposed to automatically think: "I DON'T BELIEVE IT WILL UNREALISTICALLY GOOD AS THAT"
You never heard of "false marketing"? You sound like a Ubisoft/3.5 Shill and it's fags like you that actually make it okay for companies to pull this crap.
>>334919267
Funny how it's always this fucking pic that gets posted even though the lighting in that scene is dependent on the time of day.
>>334921542
>Because that's what people have done for the last 30 years.
So? That doesn't mean it's a good idea anymore.
>What's the point when they've shown us that it 'does' look good for what it is?
The point is that pre-release shit can't be trusted and always been cherry picked and designed to make the game look as good as possible. It's basically useless to a consumer wanting accurate, brutally honest information about the game.
>But they do and they have. The games we're talking about already existed in such a state
Yes, sometimes, but not consistently enough that you should bank on it or go full retard and pre-order. It's age old wisdom, anon; don't count your chickens until they're hatched. Be patient and stop trusting businesses that don't give a fuck about you.
I agree with your final point and wish it was that way in an ideal world, but you've essentially got two noticeably different versions of the game at that point which would be totally inefficient for the company and likely wouldn't benefit sales sufficiently to justify it.

How in the holy fuck is me saying "Don't take the marketing's word for it, wait for it to come out and judge for yourself" shilling and enabling companies to do downgrades? I'm encouraging you not to pre-order or even outright boycott the game if it's not up to your expectations / what they showed.

E3 trailer:
>Triss: hot, badass, doesn't get afraid of anything, improved from TW2, looks great
>Yen: badass, cute, but not too cute, cool, great hair, not very faithful to source material, but it's okay
Final game:
>Yen: hot, cool, not so great hair, looks older, is a fairly well adapted book character
>Triss: literally anime waifu
Honestly, the way they softened and flanderized Triss, just to have her contradict Yen more, is rather amusing.

>>334922014
>So? That doesn't mean it's a good idea anymore.
Yeeeeah but...
You know what's NOT a good idea?
Thinking false marketing is "okay".
Which is why it should 'still' be a good idea because having these expectations puts pressure on those companies to fulfil their promises.
>The point is that pre-release shit can't be trusted and always been cherry picked and designed to make the game look as good as possible.
Not always. Pre-release shit was always trusted, it's only been in recent times (with resurgence of PCgaming) that trust has gone down.
Eg. Multiplats show PC footage fooling consolefags into thinking that's how their game will look like.
And that's not cherrypicking/designing, that's how the game actually looks before it gets downgraded to fit console specs.
>It's basically useless to a consumer wanting accurate, brutally honest information about the game.
Pre-release footage is FAR from useless. They can give indication of gameplay, graphics, story etc.
>Yes, sometimes, but not consistently enough that you should bank on it or go full retard and pre-order
Where did I say anything about pre-ordering?
>t's age old wisdom, anon; don't count your chickens until they're hatched. Be patient and stop trusting businesses that don't give a fuck about you.
Or, get your eggs from a farmer who is known to hatch chickens and if some don't turn out to be chicks, beat the shit out of the farmer.
Instead of being patient and getting Cucked, how about complaining to businesses like Nvidia's 3.5card for their FALSE ADVERTISING.
TL;DR:
This was never about pre-ordering.
This was about getting shown a game and the final product being downgraded. ie. false advertising.
You're telling me to "ignore" all forms of pre-retail advertising (because they don't tell you "accurate info"), and just play the downgraded version. ie. Cuckenning
Look, you're a patient guy, but fuck that family

Am I doing something wrong or are the controls in Witcher 3 almost GTA IV tier shitty?

You're retarded.
>MFW a game has no physically based rendering near me.
I dunno why people ever thought TW3 looked good it always looked average.
TW2 and TW1 where very pretty but deminishing returns gonna deminish.
I'd say the peak was Crysis 1 DX9 Era and Crysis 3 DX11.
DX12+ Well fuck knows
>>334923498
I liked GTA IV alot but those controls...
I know IV gets alot of praise but urgh URGH
V at least got the controls right even if we had to sacrifice some nice technology.
Shame we cant have both.
>>334918530
I really don't know anything about The Witcher.

Witcher drones who can't play other games because of their shitty laptop.
I didn't see a single nice "next gen/dx11" tech in this game.
Even BB has better effects.

>>334924009
ok but seriously though
i'm gonna play the games (after reading the books) again sometime this year.
is the game bearable even with all the additional triss pandering?
>>334924234
Theres no triss pandering (except if you romance her), but the main story really drops in the second half.
It felt like a fanfiction, especially with ciri the mary sue.
still looks good
>>334923837
I don't get it. Looks about on par with stuff like Skyrim. Maybe slightly better textures.
>>334924549
>It felt like a fanfiction
I think it felt more like fan service rather than fan fiction. The story told in TW3 was the only logical ''additional story left to be told'' after the ending of the final book, in my opinion, unless new plot lines are created in a hypothethical future book. But I agree that the second half was way worse than the first.
So the new Triss pandering isn't shoved down my throat, unless I decide to romance her? Good, fuck Triss and fuck CDPR for deciding to give in to forum demands.
>>334924565
Yeah even with the downgrade The game looks amazing with a good enb and close camera mod.
>>334924810
That's not an ENB
Good shitpost though and he disabled the UI
>>334924959
My Witcher 3 is so modded I don't even remember the vanilla to be honest familia not shitposting.
>>334924009
what did they do?
>>334919831
>Are consoles to blame?
Yes.
>>334919896
>majority of PC users also have sub standard hardware.
Yeah, but that wasn't an issue in the past because PC titles still focused on PC players and therefore there was actually a massive difference between low and high settings so that everybody could play and get the best out of it their PC could manage.
There is literally no need or excuse for downgrading PC games ever. So what if only 1 percent of players can actually run ultra high at the time of release? That's what it's supposed to be, it's not Ultra if it isn't.
All they do is robbing enthusiasts and future players who pick up the game at a later date of the graphics that were promised to them and still fucking used in promo pictures after the downgrade had already happened.
And all that just to coddle the precious little feelings of the worst kind of console plebs.
It's a disgrace. Sad!

I hope you bought gamer glasses to get rid of downgrade of IRL.
>>334924017
I hope you realize how expensive it is to do shadows on grass like that.
You could turn up the AO and have it get darkened more at pretty much no performance cost, but they actually wanted the grass to blend together visually.
That Anon also has draw distance on low or medium
>>334924017
Holy shit do you even understand how much fucking power it would take to have dynamic lighting on that many polys?
Shadows on the grass is really your gripe?
>>334925710
What a good excuse. The game already have an aerial perspetive fog. This one is here to hide the LOD.
>>334926136
Grass looking bad is not because of shadows. Its because of lighting (no translucency, this is why it looks washed out).
>>334924017
Pretty sure the npc on the left is actually fleeing something and not tending crops
>>334926659
What's grass translucency?
>>334926136
I'm the one who took the screenshot, I have foliage draw distance at high. Ultra makes things a little better but not by a huge margin.
>>334926696
Nah, she's supposed to be chopping wheat. The wheat just doesn't render that far on high settings.
Everyone is complaining about downgrades.
But then the game comes out and everyone is complaining because they can't run it at 1440p with their 750ti and amd 6600k
