Good grief, people. Can we not discuss a piece of gaming news on its own merits anymore? Does everything have to devolve into pathetic oneupmanship? How about just saying 'holy tits, fellas, instead of just getting different cutscenes playing out depending on what ending we pick, we're going to get different playable sections! Man, isn't it great that the game industry is continuing to evolve and push the boundaries of our expectations?' Without naval gazing about a largely unrelated game.
Seeing as the bitterness has already soured this thread, I suppose I may as well throw in. Yes, on the very thin paper we're so far presented, these promises do sound like they would be 'better' than ME3's ending. But Mass Effect also lacked the bland setting, unlikable characters and awful, awful gameplay I've come to associate with The Witcher.
And no, I'm not bashing simply because my opinion is apparently not shared by the majority of people in this thread. Despite really not getting on with The Witcher 2, I'm still tentatively excited about the third entry because it does sound like they're improving the formula in a way that could well make for an immensely playable game. And if they can turn Geralt into someone worth giving the teeniest fuck about, so much the better.
Now can we please stop comparing apples with oranges, respect the ambition CDPR have obviously mustered for this title and move past the puerile whinging about something that happened over a year ago? More importantly, can we actually judge something based on what we get instead of mid-development hype?
Words are wind, y'all.
