They're honest, but that's still a bad excuse. They could have developed the PC version and then port it to consoles, but they didn't do it and just downgraded all the versions because of lazy development.

And don't tell me that "not all have the PCs with the power to run the game at the detail levels of the old demos" ######. That's why the PC games got graphical quality presets. If you can't run the game on ultra with all the effects cranked up, just lower it to medium.

 

At this point they should stop calling it ultra setting. There's nothing ultra about it. The ultra setting is just not there and the options should be low, medium and high.

Well, the downgrades because of the consoles are definitely real and CDPR is digging itself into a hole right now with comparison videos being pulled. For shame, for shame.

Does Sony or Microsoft ever extort developers for feature parity? EDIT: Or just does this just scream CDPR being a console-first operation?

Anyone knows if the price on GOG is in USD or CDN for Canada?

 

The price for Witcher 3 on GOG is 42.29 and the curency is unkown while on Steam it is 47.99 CDN. If the price on GOG is in Canadian $ then it's cheaper than on Steam but if it is USD i think it will be more expensive which is strange cause GOG and Witcher are owned by the same company.

GOG.com uses US currency:

Yeah, but the price changes from 53.99 usd to 42.29 (I only assume cad) if you use a Canadian proxy

I live in Toronto and it shows up as $42.29 USD for me. Even in PayPal, it shows up as $42.29 USD.

It's less expensive on Steam because of the loyalty thing.

 

Someone sent me a link to redeem my witcher 1 and 2 steam copy on gog to make it around the same price.

i bought it 6 month ago and paid $53.99 US.  even though the exchange rate raised, it is still a huge difference in price.

i am not sure i feel all that appreciated for supporting it early on... :rolleyes:

usually you expect a discount for fronting the money earlier, not a last minute sale that makes it cheaper to wait till release date.

 

 

i was almost tempted to get a full refund, and then go buy it on steam or something. but i decided that i don't care enough, and i did want to support them, so whatever.

 

still a shame i paid more in advance then the current pricing.  like 27% more then it costs now!

Hum the royalty thing has been available for a long time. If you own TW1 and TW 2 the 3rd game has been 47 CDN on steam for as long as i can remember ...

i try not to buy on steam if the game is available on GOG drm free, and i don't own or ever played witcher 1.

(only watched youtube to see about it).  witcher 2 i played at my friends place, as his PC was the best possible computer to play it on, while my pc was so-so

so i never paid for it either.

 

so technically this is the first witcher game i bought.  this is why i don't mind too much. i feel it covers me for witcher 2+3 at the same time ;)

i could not care about steam prices. but it is a shame the game became to much cheaper on GOG in 6 month. so next time i buy a sequel of the game i like i will not preorder.

 

(unless it is a kickstarter, where they NEED the money. but kickstarter pricing is never more expensive then the release date price!)

Maybe if I played it on my laptop with Intel graphics, here's whart it looks like on a decent PC

It doesn't matter on what settings you'll run the game, it still won't look as detailed.

Here's a comparison between the settings (low, ultra and everything in between): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2mJaYQhaYc

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
