Is Witcher 3 the most breathtaking, beautiful game ever made?
>>343868180
I would be happy if someone could prove you wrong, because I can't.
>>343868180
>>343868256
Fallout 4 is clearly a prettier game.
>he uses enhanced blizzard
Yes
>>343868256
The Witcher 3E3 Build.
fuck you're self
>>343868180
For an open world game - yes. Corridor/hub-based games like the upcoming Doos Ex: MD will probably look better.
>>343868256
It is literally impossible to prove me wrong.
>>343868180
The Witcher 3 looks weirdly horizontal, I've never actually played the game so don't take what I say for granted but it looks like there's hardly any verticality, as if the whole game is flat, kinda like Guild Wars 2.
>>343868180
go to bed sonygger
>>343868583
There's plenty of verticality in the game.
>>343868180
Star wars battlefront looks better and it doesn't even need mods
>>343868180
Witcher 3 is very beautiful. But sometimes I think modded Skyrim looks better.
I don't know exactly, I wish Witcher 3 had first-person mode so I could appreciate it's beauty more.
>>343868612
Please don't, you're gonna make us look retarded.
Skyrim can look pretty good when modded.

E3 2013 Witcher 3? Yeah.
>>343868857
>>343868904
The lighting in Skyrim is absolute ass. Also Witcher 3's moving trees and grass, swaying with the wind, it's weather effects are just amazing in motion.
>>343868773
download the freecam and you'll see it's 95% a flat land
>>343868180
I was streaming it for my girl over skype for a full month.
Needless to say there were some parts of the game I just had to stop and stare at, the game is insanely beautiful and I don't think Uncharted 4 even comes close.
>>343868180
That particular shot actually looks pretty terrible.
When it came out, fully maxed out? Maybe.
Nowadays? Nah, most games are surpassing it in sheer graphical quality.
Overall, though, the animation, dialogue, voice work and everything? It's excellent. It's certainly one of the best, if not the best game of this generation.
I'm not even that crazy about it, not my preferred genre, but I can recognize who well it is made.
>>343868180
It's beautiful. but hardly breathtaking, I find most of the environments boring and quite repetitive. Great weather effects, its just boring.

>>343868612
saving this shit thread
>>343868180
If the game wasn't held down by consolecucks. The render distance LOD is garbage
>>343868815
Yeah Battlefront graphics are pretty much golden. Too bad the gameplay is god awful.
>>343869083

why does the wii, a shitty nintendo console, get games that clearly should be on other platforms
>>343869083
The swaying effect is way over the top.
Find a flaw in this image.
You literally can't.
>>343869221
the animations are actually pretty shitty
>>343869310
>consolecucks
Hate to break it to you, but you'd need dual 980ti at launch to run the game any higher than it was.
The ability to run the game as it looked in promos doesn't exists even with SLI'd 1080s.
>>343868180
it's not.
even the original is more beautiful AND enjoyable to play.
MOUNTAIN IN BACKGROUND'S SHADOW VERSUS FOREGROUND SHADOWS LOOKS LIKE ASS
IT MAKES ZERO SENSE, GIVEN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN'S RAYS
IT RUINS THE DAMN SCENE AND NOBODY FUCKING NOTICES.
Fuck.
>>343869083
It's a shame TW3 doesn't have a properly working 1st person mode. Much more effective for the atmosphere, I think.
>>343869087
so it's accurate with the location it takes place in then? that's good

>>343869471
It's not real.
>>343869732
of course it's good.
otherwise you'd constantly have to reload caouse of the retarded fall damage had it any sort of verticality.
>>343868180
Witcher 3 is pretty good, but it's no Inquisition.

It is literally the greatest game ever made.
>>343869676
you don't actually believe this, do you?
>>343873390
I don't think I've been as immersed into a video game before since probably Morrowind
Without a doubt desu senpai
>>343868180
It most definitely is. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been to Toussaint.
I don't know, man. Crysis 3 is still damn gorgeous.
it really is a fantastic game
about 22 hours into the new expansion and have barely touched the main quest line
122 hours in total
It's probably not the best from a technical point.
That being said, the world design, the amount of foliage, the sheer variety of locations and how everything comes together in the world is incredible.
Each area has a completely different and unique feel to it. It becomes even more apparent with B&W. I really thought Toussaint will just be Velen with more sun but after going back to fuck around in Velen and Skeliige you can see how different everything actually is.
>>343869452
Because nintendo actually funds good developers unlike sony.
>>343874035
Took me 182 hours just to beat vanilla, senpai. Another 20ish for HoS.
Currently on 229 hours and still barely touched the main quest in B&W
>>343873995
DAM GORGEOUS IN THAT PIC AMIRITE?!?!
I like The Witcher 3 but it's not an amazing looking game there are many many games that surpass it's graphical fidelity, that being said it's not shit or anything
>>343874324
>Each area has a completely different and unique feel to it.
Exactly. Which is why I've become more fond of TW3's region-based open world compared to Skyrim's full open-world.
The witcher 3 is the most detailed boring shit i've ever seen.

>>343874i917
I don't agree entirely.
Maybe it's just me but Skyrims regions genuinely felt different, obviously visually it's shit compared to W3, but Reach was unique from northern Skyrim and different from regions around Riften etc.
>>343876080
How's the story? The only reason I play single player games is because of the story

the hack and slash combat in skyrim kind of gets repetitive to be honest. W3 is somewhat the same but I feel like I'm more in danger
>>343868583
Very few games aren't fucking vertical. Games have been plagued with poorly formed, steep, impossible, wart-shaped video game mountains for two fucking decades, hardly anything has even begun to faithfully represent how flat the earth typically is and how actual elevated terrain formations truly look, because A. Devs are lazy, B. the scale needed is quite momentous, and C. some shitty engines require a fucking hill every 50 feet just so you notice the upper limit of the rendering distance.
There is only one game more beautiful

Same here, friend. Hell, even vanilla Skyrim graphics are okay with me. It'll reach a plateau eventually, if it hasn't already, and then they'll be forced to focus on something else because they simply won't be able to advance the graphics to any noticeable degree.
>>343868180

I want good looking outfits and armors lads. There's none in Velen
PC version, yes. It's insane how good it looks considering it's an open world game. Overall, I'd say Uncharted 4 is the best looking game, but then again, 90% of the locations are tiny with a shit load of baked lighting and quality passes.
IDK, it just doesn't look good to me. Like plastic or something. maybe it's the artstyle, but it doesn't look good to me. prefer witcher 2's aethetics every day

I really am, that's gorgeous.
To contribute to the general thread, I'd say that Witcher 3 isn't THE prettiest game I've seen on a location-by-location basis. You zoom in and you're gonna find some low-res textures and some weird geometry. But in the massive scope of the game, being able to create a holistic vision of a world that makes sense and has a wide range of biomes and geography, it's absolutely stunning.

Well, it's not *exactly* a dodge roll, since you have to be in sneak mode first and you can only roll forward. It's meant more for sneaking quickly. But you're right, it does work in first person.

I agree Witcher 3 is great, but for me most beautiful game has to be Red Dead Redemption. I am probably remembering it with nostalgia, and completely subjective, but visuals in that game make me feel weird in my belly. Like it's home or something. Yes, I am aware how retarded it sounds but I love it
>>343882940
where u at in 2?
>>343879683
Speaking as someone who's played on 1440p with a 980ti I'd take 1080p on a big tv any day. Looks so damn good on a tv actually.
4k is out of the question since there aren't any cards that could max the game at 60fps. Maybe the 1080 could? Haven't seen the benchmarks.
>>343882043
You can enjoy the 3rd one without playing the previous ones, but it's much better if you know the story. And I don't see why not? The previous games were also great. The first witcher is a bit hard to get into due to strange fighting system, but it's awesome when you get used to it, and it's the comfiest one of the series. Witcher 2 is actually very similiar to Witcher 3, except it has more closed off locations and the plot is generally more densely packed. It's also pretty short because of that but due to a lot of meaningful choices it has a lot of replay value.
Also, if you want to actually fully understand the story, characters and what the hell is going on I definitely recommend you to read the books, they're good.
>>343883171
Just arrived at Loc Muinne to talk to one of the kings
>>343883337
No the same guy, butyou're basicly at the end of the game, the Loc Muinne act is very short and after that there is only a short epilogue. You could probably complete it in few hours now

Too bad there is no gameplay in this video game:^^^^^^^)
>>343883256
>Looks so damn good on a tv actually
This. Witcher 3 is made for a TV. I played it on a "40 TV and it looked fantastic. Now I play it on my "24 monitor and it looks... okay. Because you can see that shitty AA, chopped foliage and wierd textures.
>>343868180
Nah
>>343882483
it's pc nigger
>>343883256
1080 can only do about 40 fps on 4k at max settings in witcher.
1080 was made for 1440p60fps
yeah i'd say its still the best looking game out there. it's also what another anon said, the first and so far only truly "next-gen" game. the expansion from W2 to W3 is insane.
>>343868180
Arkham Knight looks nicer tbqh.
I have the first two aswell, havent really played much of the first, should i put the time aside to play through 1 and 2 before 3?
>>343883847
>posting a picture that's 60% black to prove anything about graphics
>>343884837
absolutely. 3 does a really good job of making you feel like the previous games have led up to that point. couldnt go wrong reading the books too. its worth it, itll make it that much more satisfying and theres a lot of subtext youll understand better

It's been casualized as fuck and is pretty shallow.

Lacks details.

NPCs in cities usually pop in in a really obvious way, I've never seen anything else pop in or have shitty textures that are being loaded, though. Maybe you should upgrade?
>>343876230
