Show off your armor customization!
plz
Because you asked nicely
Why does TW3 look so cartoony. The shading is horrible.
>>340007042
I thought I was the only one on this board who thought this
it seems like everyone's praising the graphics constantly, but the whole game looks like an issue of "Tintin"
If I can ever get up to it, because fuck witcher 3 is big, it will be my armorfu
>>340007042
It's just Toussaint that's like that. It's supposed to look like a fairy tale painting world. The sky even looks painted.
>>340007042
>>340007230
>mfw these two anons are talking about Blood&Wine, the expansion pack that uses a completely different gamma for his areas, like the entire game has the same cartoonish colors and shading.
You can't make this shit up familia,
>>340007542
Base game also has this, screw CDPR for downgrading their shading engine.
>>340007542
E3 footage for reference
>>340007373
Neat.

>>340007542
no, my polish friend.
>>340007542
forgot to attach E3 footage like a dumbass
>>340008210
why couldn't the game look like this? Why couldn't it have been ported to consoles later like Witcher 2?
the era of slav magic is over, pity us men who have to live through such times.
>>340008370
Would've required an i7 4ghz processor with an SLI Titan X setup.
>>340008370
They've already stated why. It was running on their DX9 renderer and all that footage was only applicable to the specific scenes they showed in the trailers. As a whole game that renderer fell apart.
>>340008210
name brand vs
>>340006373
great value brand
amazed that CDPR got the shrek 2 engine working on XBONE, polska biało-czerwony
>>340008370
because the game came out last year and would have required a titanx to run at those graphics

why is this >>340008962 the best graphics in the thread
>>340008962
witcher 2*
FTFY
>>340008962
If you're still using the 'TW2 looks better' argument you've not played TW3. TW2 has like 10ft low LOD models for foliage, it's animations are god awful and there's N64 levels of distance fog.
>>340009247
i replayed Witcher 2 earlier last month
thing looked way fucking worse than I remembered.
SO much fucking bloom and sharpening. everyone's face was glowing as if they had light bulbs inside of them.
>>340008496
>>340008514
>>340008740
This is all proven to be bullshit. The E3 footage was running real-time on a mid range PC with dips below 30fps. There's also such a thing as graphical settings for poor fags.
Tha final game was just dowgnraded to all shit because CDPR are faggots. 90% of the 'downgraded' things are easy to render. They just removed them for console parity.
Don't defend downgrades or CDPR.
List of things that were removed/downgraded:
The mod kit
Subsurface scattering
Forward lit soft particles
Semi volumetric clouds
Bokeh depth of field
Seems like a lot of the PBR they bragged about
Combat camera shake
Convincing and gratuitous pools of blood that 'realistically' floated on water
Subtle lens flares
Tessellated ground
Anamorphic lens flares
Flexible water simulation
Geralt's face was severely downgraded
In-game scenes like the Wild Hunt attacking the town and the introduction to the emperor of Niilfgard were changed to worse effect
Aerial perspective fog
Sign particle intensity was lowered
Many textures in Novigrad were downgraded
Volume based translucency
Many environment models in Novigrad
Interior lighting looks horrendous now
The bloom shader sucks, you can see how it was before in the wild hunt segment
Screen space reflections
The way drowners look was good and is really bad now
![witcher2-xbox360-jan26-4[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Cbtus89.jpg "witcher2-xbox360-jan26-4[1].jpg")
>>340009247
yes unlike the witcher 2, the witcher 3 has Very Good Graphics technology, pictured here on my XBONE copy
>>340009449
It begins, I'm out have fun everyone!
>>340009247
A lot of things in TW2 did look better though. Like interior lighting, rain, night time lighting, and character shading for the most part.
TW3 has cutscene lighting which looks fine but the actual game is ugly.
![IpONz[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/otJv4fU.jpg "IpONz[1].jpg")
>>340009449
never before have I seen a level of effortposting as on display here
but I'm pretty sure the models in the final product are still up to snuff, as seen here.
>>340009562
what mount and blade mods did you apply in this pic anon I really like them
base game on ultra
>>340009562
so like, realistically, how much of a stepback is W1's combat? Cuz if it's just a less polished version of W3 i can handle that, though I suspect it's not even close
>>340009917
modded
>>340010000
So... you removed the cold mist that is supposed to settle across the valley, and the cloudy skies, and just made everything normal looking?
>>340009449
I was mostly meming, but that's LITERALLY why they removed the features. The game looked so good, that if would make consoles look bad, so they decided to decrease the graphics a bit. It's the reason why no one talks about the console version of Crysis 1. Crytek did it mostly because they were forced to by their publisher
>>340009936
It's basically a rhythm game.
It's really not great, but you get used to it pretty quickly, and it's certainly not that hard. So you basically just put up with it to finish the game
>>340010309
>company that makes videogames to survive financially released an inferior port because EA made them, and I don't have a source
at least you're easy to filter
>>340009936
They're nothing a like. You click on an enemy wait for your sword to have an orange trail then click again.
>>340009936
It's not a "less polished version of W3", it's a completely different combat system. But I like it, it feels unique
W2 combat however, is a "less polished version of W3"
>>340010000
anon there's no detail added here, this is a reshade
>vignetting 3rd person game
there's still the same amount of LOD smoke, you've just colored it blue and saturated everything else
>>340010567
>>340010549
>>340010345
Alright cool, sounds like fun. Any required mods?
>>340010309
It's not. That article was only talking about the earliest trailers(and even then what they said isn't true). It never once mentioned actual gameplay that was running real-time with a very shitty frame rate.
This downgrade is worse than anything Ubisoft has done.
>>340010549
Yeah, kind of, but you have the different stances and all, also in Witcher 1 you actually feel the difference between the Silver Sword and the Steel Sword, you have to pick them manually and they have different movesets, in Witcher 3 you don't even notice which sword you're using most of the time
>>340010691
Yen's face is way better in the release version of the game.
Also I know the game is downgraded but at least use the same time of day to compare the scenes
>>340010682
There's a combat rebalance mod, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it for your first time through.
Aside from maybe some texture mods or something, I can't really think of anything.
>>340010460
>that makes video games to survive
>they merely threw Cryneinge 2 onto Crysis 1 and put it out on consoles as a download exclusive
>they didn't port Warhead
>one of the last missions in the Crysis 1 port was absent from the game
>While Crysis 2 managed to sell 3 million+ copies
Boy, they sure tried to "survive financially" on porting "most" of a 4 year old game on a new engine through download-only services, even though they've had critical success after success.
At least it's easy to respond to stupid-faggots such as yourself.
>>340010682
When I was getting ready to play Witcher 1 I looked up mods but couldn't find anything worth it, saw some UI shit but didn't like the looks
The only thing you need is patience to go past the first hours of the game, probably until the first boss. After that it just gets better and better
>>340010726
They probably made the sword switching automatic because playtesters likely kept on using whichever sword they pulled out and didn't want to learn the difference. easier to just have the game draw the appropriate blade and eliminate player error altogether i guess
>>340010682
>>340010895
FCR has an easy mode, it's not just for making the game harder it changes a lot of stuff. It's the only mod you really need.
manticore armour is so fucking nice
>>340010682
There's nothing really worthwhile even the HD texture mods look ass because they're inconsistent and don't seem to fit where they're placed.
Just protip, in combat using WASD to move will just result in a bunch of weird animations being cancelled and jitteryness. Just click dudes and allow Geralt to automatically move to the targets.
>>340010691
You're such a fucking idiot. A tasteless one, too
r8 my toussaint casualwear
>>340011152
why does there have to be HD texture mods in a fucking witcher game
has CDProjekt sunk so low
>>340010691
>This downgrade is worse than anything Ubisoft has done.
I thought you killed yourself after Witcher took GOTY home.
>>340011101
>Played in NG+

ENOUGH.
>>340011101
if they ever made a witcher 4 it should be about a new guy who is reviving the manticore school of witchering. viper school and manticore school didn't get nearly enough focus
>>340011372
>>340011230
>they're defending a downgrade
>>340011330
No but you've certainly seen better days.
>>340011419
>He's still mad about a 2015 game
Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077.
Fuck, Toussaint mix of France, Italy and fable-like fantasy is amazing, i wish the whole game was like that.
>>340011419
Name a triple A game revealed at E3 that didn't get downgraded
>defending a corporation
>advocating lazy dev practices

>it's a the game got downgraded so it cannot possibly still look good episode
im still pretty early game, around level 5, when will nice looking/viable armors become available? I'm tired of my shitty puffy generic soldier armor

When are we going to get a game like the first picture?
>>340012241
end of this gen or later. alternatively a PC exclusive that actually pushes graphics
>>340011834
kek
>>340008496
something like this. Witcher 3 looks great maxed out. But that webm is showing stuff that would've required crazy processing power.
Could they have kept the color pallet? Yeah, but that is easy to mod.
The rest of the details in the webm are staggering.
>>340012584
>But that webm is showing stuff that would've required crazy processing power.
No it isn't.
>>340008210
I can't even call that a downgrade, holy shit
It's like they made a separate game with those graphics to show off while they work in the real itself
>>340012172
Dude missed the other Witcher thread so now he's got to make up for that.
It's pretty much impossible to create a Witcher thread without people bitching about the graphics. JFC. It was downgraded, shit happens. there are times it looks pretty nice.

I don't see a difference, really. same shit, houses horses kids people ect
>>340013676
look more closely.
>>340013676
>>340009562
It doesn't look better overall but things like lighting in some areas might be better because its not open world. That is undeniable.

>>340008210
>>340009449
>>340011419
>>340012057
I can get pretty close to E3 using STLM 2.0, increased LOD, and HD textures mod.
>>340014205
Read the list of things removed. STLM changes the lighting and nothing else.
>>340014205
prove it
>>340014205
No it can't.
How the fuck do you earn money in B&W. Everything cost so fucking much.
>>340011406
That's because they don't exist in canon
i just picked up this game a week ago and im lvl 18
what kind of armor should i aim for
i kinda like the health bonus from alchemy and i really like using aard and quen?
should i just go for the bear school or griffin school gear?
where do i even get the bear school gear?
i only found the mastercrafted upgrade diagrams for it
im about to clear novigrad/velen quests before i hit skellige
im confused. during Blooid and Wine Geralt said only higher vampire can kill higher vampire but didnt he killed on in Carnal Sin quest?
>>340016038
He 'killed' it in the sense that it's dead and will regenerate in however many years depending on how much he damaged it.
Like when Regis died the first time when butchered by an angry mob it took 50 years for him to regenerate
>>340016284
well shit, then the case isn't closed?
>In before hood
I developed everything into the cat school with light gear, etc, I'll be damned if a fucking hood is going to change my ways.
And it looks pretty good when everything is dyed brown. Pic is not up to date.
>>340016437
it would be one of the best sets without that goddamn shitty hood. at least bear looks great
>>340015827
pls respond
>>340008210
Aside from stronger depth of field and some shit blowing across the screen what is the difference between this and current Witcher?
>>340016895
>>340016437
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1551/?
Problem solved lads
>>340016895
>>340017553
I don't think it's that bad, but I'll consider the mod considering the hood completely neglects any hairstyle you had.
But really now, the hood is no worse than you find on the generic 'mysterious stanger' in Novigrad.
>>340017208
A filter over top of it to make everything browner
Openworld fucked the witcher 3 in terms of graphics, its hard to program really nice scene stuff like when you are racing around on a hose at 15 million miles per hour. There are parts of it that can look pretty damn nice though. Usually during set peices for quests. The world itself feels bland though.
>we will never get Redkit 3
>>340014641
>kill people
>sell their stuff
there are hundreds of swords you can sell for 100-300 shekels.
>>340011101
Fuck you, I want this so bad. Too bad I'm playing on NG+ Death March. I don't know if the difficulty matters but goddamn the chainmail Manticore vest literally looks like the mastercrafted Wolven armor. I'm tempted to download a mod, implying there is one, that uses the regular version of the Manticore set on NG+
>>340016378
regis kills him permanently after geralt is done thoroughly fucking his shit up
>>340018378
>implying there is one
Disregard this I suck cocks maybe I should read more. Thank you to whoever posted the link.
>>340018658
that anon was asking about the vampire who was committing all those murders around Novigrad
>>340015827
Just level up to 20 and you can use the basic bear set, found at Yngvar's Fang in Skellige, just google it for exact details.
It really depends on your build, Griffin is medium and more on the sign side, Bear school is more for melee and adrenaline point gain, that doesn't mean you can't use signs with it though.
If you get B&W and get Grandmaster bear school gear, then it heavily favors Quen with the set bonuses and all.
tl;dr: depends on your build
Bear school = adrenaline point gain, combat, better defence
Griffin = sign intensity, better stamina regen slightly less defence
Talking about witcher here is like asking for cancer.
All the time same mad shitposters and shit everywhere.
Better talk only in /vg/
