What a pile of utter tosh you are talking OP

"Waah...waah I don't like it because it's not exclusive to the PC like they said it would be"

Who cares? What would you prefer, a worse game that was PC exclusive? You think that developers today can turn out something this good (= cost) for what is relatively a niche platform?

;-o

Porting to console =/= losing good PC games. Bad ports = losing good PC games. The only compromise I saw for the console port was the UI. I can live with that really. Why is it when a developer dares to move product from PC's to consoles a bunch of PC elitists come out of the woodwork to make other PC exclusive gamers like me look like jerks?

You know what the best time to start whinging about dumbing down games is? When they actually start doing it. At that time vote with your wallet. If you do it beforehand you are just encouraging them to "broaden their appeal" to the "unwashed masses."

Bah whatever, you've made up your mind I guess.

What kind of moronic company would actively avoid a larger market for their products?

Its bounds to happen.. and if no one voices there opinion before it happens than we basically just given up.

I did say that if they wanted to prove us wrong they had there ways..im not saying its a done deal and there instantly dead to the pc..

they can do things thatll show us PC is the lead platform in design. Mod tools is the biggest one because so much can be done with official mod tools.

Let's meet back here in 4 years when The Witcher 3: Dances With Drowners comes out and compare notes. Until then arguing this is meaningless.

no it isnt.

Because now that the entire team is working on the xbox platform the PC platform is now secondary meaning less support.. we wont get our fixes and our better monitor support or our mod tools for ages! or maybe some of them none at all..

Plus i wouldnt be suprised if a patch changes the entire game and makes it easier cause we all know how the console community loves there dumbd down games.

I'm an die hard PC fanboy, yet I'm baffled by the PC community.

The question of "is the game good" is replaced by if it's on consoles. People care more about if it says "start" instead of "enter" than if they enjoy the gameplay. Screaming greed and console port like it was a greeting.

You know this for sure do you? You work on the team and heard this in a meeting? Or perhaps you are just talking out of some orifice that shall not be named. Just 'cause other devs have gone down that road does not mean CDPRED will too. They made it big on their own and are beholden to no one. Bioware sold themselves off to EA. What the heck did you think was going to happen? Staying independent has it's risks and rewards. I will worry only if they get swallowed up by someone.

'sides you are not much of a fortune teller seeing as tomorrow's patch is making the prologue easier for wimps like the idiot who reviewed the game for The Escapist.

Now that this is out of the way why don't you just pour yourself a nice cup of hot chocolate and calm down a morsel?

Game is fantastic, game has already been released, game cannot suffer any from being ported to a different platform after the fact.

Quit pissing and moaning.. it's quite embarassing to watch.

Where did you get the idea that the entire team would be working on the xbox version anyway?

What the hell would quest-designers, artists, dialogue-writers etc etc - basically everyone except a bunch of engine-programmers, texturers and 3d-modellers - want to do for it?

(Almost) all the people who'd be responsible for creating new content would still be available. Bugs that are not rooted somewhere deep within the engine can still be fixed. Mod tools require certain restrictions but above all an easy-to-use user interface and documentation.

I doubt that porting it to the x360 has any great effect on what the majority of the team does.

And concerning this entire topic: what is this i dont even

lets clear this up again.

I dont want this to be true..i hope they dont prove to be another bioware..im not saying its 100% confirmed..

but history says all developers who choose greed focus on consoles and dumbd down games..

fingers crossed it doesnt end out this way.. but chances are high

Then let's get back to where I said it's a bad idea to encourage them to dumb things down but not buying their products. You stop buying someone's products after they have abused your faith, not in anticipation of them abusing your faith.

If they can't make money on their userbase they will have to expand it. You do that by...dingdingding dumbing down to the lowest common denominator.

Let's try to avoid turning this into a self fulfilling prophesy shall we?

thekingcasper: A game series is released with PC exclusive being the buzz where the PC community pretty much unite and buy this game and call it the saviour due to bioware selling out and going all out on the console. Now the same has happen here pretty much giving us the strong impression that all PC support for this game from this point on will be secondary to the xbox 360.

Alot of people who bought this to support the PC exclusive/ DRM free movement.But now its fallen to the bioware greed bug and will now turn to shit.
I hope this isnt the case i really do but name 1 developer who does cross platform games that takes PC first...theres none. They all say they do but its just not the case.

U wont be getting any money from me in the future and i say alot of other PC owners you basically lied will also be upset.The only way to redeem yourself and to gain some credibility after selling your souls is by showing us! Mod support for Witcher 2 ,Witcher 3 being open world and large that pushes for hardware far away from the console with mod support.

RIP
Your creativity,Your Souls And You PC fan boi community.


Let the hate begin below!
What a drama queen. Such impressive nerd rage. THe game is still a hardcore pc game (well, maybe the UI needs work..........) :-)

this whole thing isn't even news, if you didn't see this coming then your eyes weren't open

look at the UI in tw2
look at how the qte's.. mini games work (fist fighting in particular)
look at the games menu
notice how most of the options are outside of the game

if the above design choices were actually decided upon without consoles in mind, I will eat my shoes :)

Most likely. CDPR never said it was PC exclusive, Where did people get that from?
