I am sure all multi-platform games not made by CD PROJEKT RED are the epitome of controller integration at all levels.
As long as I am happy at the end of that time, yeah! Fine.
Tried using a wireless set instead.
Cannot help if you want ease in your life all the time.
I had warned you not to purchase the game at the day, people had mocked me for 'being that guy' but hey, you win some, lose some.
I have a wireless set, nothing can replace the fun and comfort of a controller. Btw, I also have a dog. Also, a fan an ac a fridge. Aur kuch to help you justify the game?
And no, no games are broken with a controller. Even on PC. I really hate that you have no reference points or played any major games in recent times or you would have known. I mean really your only two references are the two most f**ked up games I have ever played- BF4 and Witcher.
Leave it man.. I am off. This coolbreezer guy has ordered me to leave.

I meant the game itself he deemed interesting enough to take interest in and yes that includes game play. I have no issues with you disliking the mechanics but that doesn't make the game broken. I can understand the frustration of not getting your money's worth but like I suggested you can sell the code if you haven't used it on gog. Even I dislike the mechanics of some games that are extremely popular but it doesn't make the game bad.. clearly your opinion means nothing to the devs and is neither shared by the fellow gamers in this thread so what is the point of stating it.
Omg pls read carefully. Mechanics are not the problem. Its the execution or the finesse with which they operate.
Tu rehne bhai terse na hoga.
Also, only the most delusional people are downright denying the problems with the gameplay and controls in this game. I'd rather you not read my opinion than me not stating it, so thanks but no thanks.
I spent like fifteen minutes, you might take an hour since you are not comfortable with the I/O devices and have no experience with the same but I see no reason not to try.
Have tried controllers in almost all my games which have been recommended by friends to play with a controller, MoTN, FEZ, SMB, Closure, Bastion, I only use the controller in FEZ. Rest all I am comfortable with the keyboard-mouse to the point it has not hurt my entertainment of the games.
I will tell you something and you might hate me for it but this botched control scheme can be only blamed on one and one thing. And that is the controller, you do not agree with me. I have no quarrel but out of the box this game has so many keys mapped so haphazardly across the keyboard it is not even funny. And guess why it is broken because they were trying to fine-tune it for two different controllers on three different platforms and obviously did not have enough to time to tweak things to anywhere near perfection on all of them.
It is sad but I want to play the game and with a half-decent keyboard and mouse set-up (a TVS Gold and a G300s), I am doing fine. Keys that can be remapped have been tweaked where they are no longer at-least unintuitive and offensive. Use something that you have the option of trying out.
I(and millions others) dont enjoy playing with a keyboard and a mouse. No matter how well a shooter will play with a mouse or how many more headshots I can take with that 1000dpi mouse- its just not fun. And in this case too, its just not fun to steer a horse or a car with 'WASD', or swing my sword with left mouse hunched over the table or sitting awkwardly on the sofa- not intuitive-not fun!
You may be right about 'its broken cuz of controller', but only partially. Its broken cuz of CDPR's incompetence, and thus this game's incompetence. There is no denying that, and unless fanboys(not a bad word in its truest sense) accept this this is what you will get.
I guess I have made my point and there is no other thing to add to it now from my side. One day you guys will look back and laugh at spending 500+ hours in games with such broken gameplay.
-
Its your lose in the end .. nobody is ignorant here ... I have played as many games as you have and I don't find the game play broken whatsoever..imo the score is well deserved and there is no point talking about it .. you didn't like the game then I guess sell your game code and play something else
exactly.. my room mate sometimes just comes to watch me play and even he finds the story quite interesting at times .. so he listens to the dialogues and asks me what is happening etc... such is the presentation
Sorry for stepping on you candy.
I never criticized the story or dialogues, what are you reading?
lol, overreaction much ? It might have its quips, but I wouldn't go as far as saying the game is broken ....
Whether its worth the review score 10/10 too early to say, since i've just scratched the surface ! But so far in the 8-9 hours i've played, I have not come across such BROKEN gameplay like you have encountered ....Game is not broken Mr. TLDR, its the gameplay and UI that is unresponsive, unituitive, glitchf**k nightmare.
Your witcher doesnt control like a drunk wobbly doll?
Your horse doesnt come to an absolute hault from top speed under a femto second when touching the smallest obstacle/tree/object? SOmetimes even nothing at all.
Your horse doesnt deny jumping over half the stuff?
You dont struggle trying to loot crates and stuff?
You dont struggle with the inventory?
The miniscule text doesnt give u a headache?
ANd all this is just tip of the iceberg. HOw all this affects you in combat and tricky situations, or even general 'playing of the game' is a different story altogether.
Bhai bhagwaan se darr!

Here, I have highlighted your issue. =P
Jokes apart, I had thought about plugging in the controller for the game, then gave up. Remapped the keyboard to something as close to keyboard was in The Witcher 2 and now after close to 20 hours in-game, several hours of deaths, I have a handle on things like movement and combat.
I would honestly have appreciated if they would have lifted the entire system from TW 2 but even that was not perfect and had a much incidence of fickle item detection. So maybe they were fine in mixing up things.
Inventory management has been a bone of contention through out the franchise, early on it was too traditional and rigid and in TW2 it was way too detailed and expansive, this latest iteration is something of a bastard mash-up that occured when they wanted to go with improved controller support for this title.
Also, what settings are you playing at because seeing your configuration I am surprised that it even judders, Rishi has a comparable system, I might have a somewhat comparable system now and several other people on this very forum (with similar configurations or worse) are running the game without much trouble, that is unless you have tried to force 30fps with everything ULTRA-HIGH.
Please tell me an open-world game that has done something of an interesting map at this scale.
There will be parts in every map where there has to be boring stuff, you cannot saturate every inch with something or the other, else it will exhaust you as a player or end up like how UBISOFT does things. Collectibles in every square-metre. Because you know, we love content.
You need to learn how to keyboard man, at-least somewhat.
I had the same thing against that IS IT WORTH A BUY guy, he kept harping up everything negative about the game, on PC.
Okay controls are not good, at-least not out of the box but for the most part if you have a decent keyboard and mouse and are comfortable with them, remap, remap, remap. Try to make it work.
I am just glad that the game is running for the most part out of the box on much of the hardware, 20+ hours in game, one crash. Worth it.
BattleField 4 crashes more often than not, till date.
I know you are a reasonable guy but you are also probably the biggest fan of Witcher(the stories books etc not just the games) here.
Your whole post is basically either saying that-
WItcher 2 was worse- this is an improvement.
Use keyboard and spend an hour mapping the keys with another hour of trial and error. Dont use that awesome comfortable intuitive and fun to 'play' with controller.
There must be something wrong with your settings. No I am not trying for ultra- mix of medium-high on 1080p. Aukaat yaad dila di iss game ne.
I know that you what exactly what all is wrong with this game- the controls- the unintuitive combat. And you kno that I know what all is right with this game, the story the character the ambience the sound etc.
But you are a fan and for you this is fan service, I am more objectively seeing this for what it is+as a gamer.
For your wuestion about games with such scale+finesse, there are many. GTA, The crew, Saints row and countless other but I dont think you have played them. The point is not how broken this game is, the point is how in 2015 a game can have such broken controls and still be the top rated game of the year. The irony is so strong I cant even begin to explain. Its a game with a bad play. Its like a car that drives really badly but has a good painjob or a phone that has bad voice quality while calling but an epic camera, I hope you get the point.
-
Agreed with all you said. Game doesn't deserve more than 7.5-8.
Yea. I dont care about what review scores what game gets frankly, but I am fairly certain that in no other field something as broken as this means a 10 or even a 9. Its more to do with what a '10' signifies- perfection. If prominent critics themselves are gonna pass fanboy judgements then what will be the catalyst to improvement?
Nothing is broken in the game..Little bit of annoying glitches or bugs are in every open world game. No game is perfect
And this is CD Red's first open world game..They are not experts at making open world games like Rockstar or Ubisoft
Little bit is an understatement dude come on be reasonable here. I am not a hater but one must call something as it is. Gameplay and controles are downright broken.
Aww poor CD Red's first open world game
Bro, I am making a car, it doesnt run though. But you can totally drive it down a slope cuz gravity! Breaks dont work though. But here is what you get- Carbon fibre chasis and gold seats(the previous one I made had silver seats so upgrade!). There is also a mechanical hand that will jerk you off on the seat, HUD displays boobs and a*s pics to get you (not the car) started.
BUYING?
Ok WAIT. Screw that yo am making a plane instead. It has none of those features, but its shaped like a plane. BUY.
Ppl calling this game broken/laggy & choppy clearly havn't played huge open world RPG's like Fallout 3 & Skyrim Before
See polish & content aren't the two things that can co-exist together
I saw ppl complaining about how GTA controls are clunky & choppy till this day
It just can't match games like Uncharted
Similarly Witcher 3 can't compare with GoW or Mordor level of polish & fluidity
It's the openess of the game that attracts you
If you don't like open ended games then this isn't for you
And you are CLEARLY wrong. I have played 100+ hours of Skyrim and it wasnt this broken. 400+ hours of GTA and nope, not even close. Have played a good chunk of Fallout and Dragon Age too but 'that wasnt the point- part 769- starring Ank666 again'.
Your other lines baffle me. Thats exactly what I was ranting against. Can you give me a 100 page technical and factual synopsis of WHY polish and content cant exist dudebro? And YOU write it. Dont post it from some half assed developers website filled with excuses.
There is no truth in what you said- only the 'norm'- its what you have ever got from such games and still getting and the critics dont question it so- hey! it must be like this only man, JUST NOT POSSIBLE, chill play or dont play go home loser go play your CoD hahahaha. This is exactly the kind of random and clueless mentality or fanboy or consumers and critics that will delay improvement in this genre even further.
I am not asking GOW or Mordor level of finesse. I am asking something that is not an unitutive glitchy mess- not questioning the mechanics, that is their artistic interpretation of what their game should play like- but questioning the finesse with which they have executed it. For example- Heavy rain's gameplay is what they wanted it to be, but if it was broken in terms of pressing 'x' resulted in game thinking u bressed 'a' then thats what one can rant about.
Open world glitches will probably be ironed out in time.. But as far the review goes.. this is your personal opinion and the other review sites are only for consideration... they have obviously enjoyed the game as much as I am enjoying it( and a lot of other ppl). I guess you haven't played the 1st and 2nd game(imo this game is mainly for those who loved those games as well). Personally I don't find the controls "glitchy". Though the camera angle sometimes annoys me but that is usual with a lot of 3rd person games.
Read what I replied to Zodak.
Oh please not this - 'reviews are just opinions' again. Opinions cant deny facts. What I stated are the facts, in the last para I also praise the game for whats good.
Its broken that is a fact. The story and characters are extremely well done is another fact. I cant ignore th ebroken gameplay to enjoy other things (or vice versa)- can be the opinion. But omg omg best open world rpg omg omg omg no glitch ok yes glicth but f**k that omg boobs hawwwwwww yayyyy hairworks 10 10 10= fanboy ignorant fatass sitting in a bar review.
I am not pointing at any one review but the accross the board acceptance of such 'games' that have 'broken gameplay' and controls and great everything else. Oh the irony. And the fact that people will defend it just for the heck of it and cuz timepass kuch toh karna hai yaar bored of Destiny now :/ --- is pathetic.
I am ranting not because I hate the game but because I want to fall in love with it. But it+the ignorant critics & gamers with 'chalega re- de toh sahi' mentality wont let me. Not any time soon.

Man the controls are so wonky and glitchy, from walking to fighting to cillecting items, you name it. Riding on the horse is a headache, gets stuck it places, suddenly comes to an absolute stop from top speed, its not even rare... Happens almost every 30secs, wont jump over stuff 50% of times,OMG! Inventory management n shops are a nightmare! Add to that the miniscule text and I literally avoid equiping the new armour or figuring out which weapon or upgrade I should use. The whole UI is a clunky mess. The map is a stuttering sticky afair, and I still dont know why its not a full screen map. Then simple things like pause menu being mapped to select button and map+character menu mapped to start button on controller annoy me more. Combat is a mess too, its hard not cuz its difficult but because its so unintuitive-random-clunky affair.
Reached Velen & Novigrad, and its almost as barren as White orchard. Was expecting something spectacular. Even the city and port areas are underwhelming. Rest of the open world is a barren same to same ghaas poos, and thank god the trees and grass sway with the wind otherwise it would have been a total disaster.
Game is semi beautiful, nothing extra ordinary even on Ultra. I am trying my level best to 'get into it' and as engaging as the narative+storytelling+characters are- the bad controls, glitches and meh combat ruin everything for me. Cant understand how something so broken can even get through the alpha stage of production. I got annoyed when in battlefield 4 my player glitched walked near rocks or debris, but this is 100x of that sh*t!
I dont know how can anyone give this or any such wonky controlling games a 10 or 9 or even 8. Such reviewers and people who support such games will never let this whole RPG open world games segment improve cuz they settle with such broken gameplay. I really cant understand why such big deep RPGs cant have good gameplay. And dont give me that- you win some you lose some nonsense. Such wonky glitchy controls are simply unacceptable man.
/rant
Love the dark tone of the game, its main quest, the side quests. Ots almost depressingly dark and something I have never felt playing a game before I think. Soundtrack drowns you further into the mood. Should have been a movie instead. Really hate this whole genre of 'deep world-broken gameplay' games. Can only hope to see such a game without the broken and glitchy gameplay one day.

I am struggling in the combat even on normal difficulty... So much so that I have started runnind away from foes. :l
Any tips guys?
(Also, a tip for those struggling, disable vsync as it causes stutters, and then push the settings so much that no matter what- the game can never go beyond 50-55fps on ur hardware thus avoiding clipping, and then locking fps to 30 for a smooth non variable experience)
-
And someone tell me exactly how to get the mods working and exactly what not to do to avoid a ban?
Also. do these mods work between single player missions or only director mode or something where we cant do missions with these enabled?
-
Nope, he is like Hope.
Finds long bit of exposition and journal entry's and associated elements of RPG game-play 'boring'. This game has even more of the same, so he might as well save some dough and time.
Man the only reason I dont play RPGs is cuz they have boring or limited gameplay, I dont mind the pointless roaming around and fetching and ultra talkative tween syndrome in these games.
I liked and played a lot of Skyrim... so I CAN do this. There is HOPE.

Guys has the gameplay changed for the good compared to Witcher 2? Hated it in that game.

I specifically mentioned Ultra at 60fps when I used the word f**kton of money
Next time pls read posts more carefully
Oh I did. And trust me it wasnt too hard to decode the passive aggressive bashing of PC in that comparison. Like your most posts. Always trying to hint how costly and illogical and inconvenient it is to be playing on a PC. Or may be its just sheer ignorance, can give you that.
And so, I genuinely wanted to tell you that PC gaming is not just about low-med-high-ultra while trying to score a 60. It can also be about doubling the capacity of ones rig for graphical fidelity by limiting the game to a console-y 30fps, and, that you remember this next time you think every PC gamer is struggling to hit a stable 60 with every new game while playing at LOW on 'omg just a year old gpu lol lol lol'! My GPU is almost 3 years old and it still makes the games look better than the next gen console.
Again, not bashing consoles, just giving you some facts to enlighten you, like countless before me have tried and failed and as I write this i reali...

PS4 is 27k in countries
& in grey
I don't know if you count this 50k with what(grey,White)
But anyway PS4 is 35k(with a controller) in bundles even in White
So 50k plus controller makes it 54k
If a 35k machine runs high at 30fps
54k machine is apt to run ultra at 30fps
Remember this when you make a post next time
Ofcourse I am talking in white. And indian pricing. With warranty and bill deals only. Why did you have to enter grey and foreign prices? Just to add more numbers and somehow vaguely try to make a point where there is none?
Even considering your grey market prices and foreign prices, let me inform you that PC components from the same sources or countries will cost equally lesser. GPUs and CPUs etc are cheaper elsewhere in the world, just like the PS4. And yea, price difference is almost as drastic. So that argument is invalid.
Also to correct your comparison,
A 35k PS4 will play at high(not really all high tho, and not even always at 1080p).
A 40k PC will play the game at high (truely high,always 1080p, even 1440p in fifa and the likes).
Both 30fps.
The controller argument is invalid as you can also get a wired xbox's for 1200 or even use a cheap KB/m. In any case the higher resolution and multitasking ability of a PC MORE THAN compensate for the 4k difference even if you do get a next gen controller.
All said and done, my point wasnt to say that PC gaming is cheaper than console, you totally missed the point. It was to say that its not as expensive as you'd think and actually has a lot of its own benefits. It was to inform you that ultra on PC wont need f**kton of money if you just lock it to 30fps liek a console. You can spend 25% more than a console and get better or equivalent performance, plus the multitasking, freedom and cheaper games.
No more OT from my side.

Though PC is a very diverse platform
Some hardware will run at mid,high & ultra
& some at 60fps
I think as I said earlier PS4 is on High at 30 FPS
It can never compete with PC on Ultra at 60fps
Obviously that's a f**kton of expensive technology
There is a midway too. 30 fps on ULTRA on a PC(may be even at 1440p). And such PC wont be f**kton expensive, say around 50k for the rig(excluding monitor). But not many PC gamers know this, many dont choose this (i do) and no console gamers know this- ultimately drawing the wrong conclusion that console gaming is cheaper.
Point is, its not mandatory to play games on 60fps on a PC. GTA 5 and many new games have the option in their menus to choose 60 or 30. If a game doesnt give the option just use a third party app and lock fps at 60,30,45,47,33,... u get the point.
I myself discovered this just an year ago... and since then I play most games on ultra, till today, on a 2.5+ year old rig, at almost 1.5-2x better gfx quality than any console. The odd well optimized game also gives High at 60 which i gladly take.
I hope you learned a new thing today, definitely something to think about when you make your next post.

Mods are already out?
Will it get us banned for using it?

The most annoying thing I have ever experienced in all of gaming EVER is getting hit by fast cars driven by NPCs while crossing the fookin road in GTA Online. EVERY SINGLE FOOKIN TIME.

I think he is asking about engaging in combat with cops... which is yes, extremely difficult now. Infact the thing that made GTA, well, GTA... seems a bit bonked now- now that fighting cops in a long dominating crazy battle is impossible. You will get wasted sooner rather than later. i remember when the only thing i did in GTA was messing with cops and feeling like a badass.
Although yes, simply escaping them in a vehicle is twice as easy.

Another new update. I hope they better fix the issue with msaa on AMD GPUs

Thanks so much Joe, this fixed it for me completely. I always use Radeon Pro/D3Doverrider to enable v-sync in games but GTA 5 wasnt compatible.Check this?
Found a workaround to get Radeon Pro working and voila!
For other AMD users here having stuttering and drops, do this to get Radeon Pro working with GTA5 and make it run flawlessly-
1. Disable in game V-sync
2. In radeon pro do this-http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=5052190&postcount=27
3. Now in tweaks tab enable Tripple buffer. Then select 'Always On' for 60fps or 'Always on Double vsync' for 30fps from drop down menu.
4. In Advanced tab enable flip queue size n make it '1'
5. Bam. Smooth.
Also, for AMD users, if u wana use MSAA but its giving u artifacts in bottom right corner thsn simply put 'Post fx to high', artifacts gone.
(P.s. i stuck to double vsync as its more stable n too beautiful as i can push the settings further. Take ur pick)
Nvidia users, do this- http://m.imgur.com/hrQgXpi
Joe cant thank you enough for the link. Totally saved my game. Zero issues. Makes me wonder why developers cant make a game with these settings n vsync teck that Radeon pro and D3Doverrider use. Its like 90% of pc games are broken just cuz of their Vsync issues.

The game is stuttering really badly since the 200mb patch on steam, rendering it(no pun intended) unplayable for me.

I just realized ur FPS mod changes according to the glasses u wear.
HOLY f**k! Yesterday whole day I was getting pissed that why my FPS view was darker than the third person view. I was gonna google the issue.
Thanks!

Guys we have made an IVG only WHATSAPP group for PC GTA 5 Online players.
Cuz all players are too disintegrated between Steam and RGSC, this helps a lot.
If you are a regular on GTA Online(or even semi regular, once a week ones pls stay away
), then please inbox me or Mizan ur mobile number and i'll add you to the Whatsapp group. Dont worry no one chit chats thr after the game session.

Those playing online should check their privacy settings. Many players are shown offline even when they are online.
Press Home button> Settings icon> Game Settings > Friends & Crew/Everyone.

All u guys playing GTA 5 story mode for the first time- ATTENTION-
Read- DO NOT spend all your cash in gta 5 sp at once on stuff that dont matter. Instead save it for Franklin's share market assassination missions... google how to make money from franklins assassination missions... you will be playing in millions then. But this would only happen IF you have enough capital to invest in shares. Wont spoil further, just remember dont spend ur cash atleast till u have doubled-tripled it playin 2-3 assassination missions(then u can spend some, but always keep enough cash to invest n double).
If u dont do this u will regret in the end when u wont be able to buy 'the really costly n awesome stuff'.
As for online, buy a 10 garage house, Weazel plaza room 101(i got this cuz its highest n has a sexy garage exit) and Eclipse tower room 40 have the best views(google for videos). If not them then stick with richard tower room 51 or Alta tower room 57. Rest all are crap with either buildings blockin view or shitty view. Buy a cheap but good >150k car n INSURE IT. Go to weapon store...there u wont be able to buy the rank locked weapons BUT- scroll to the right side wall and BAM- Rocket launchers and ASRs and what not.
(Spent 2 hours watchin videos about all this last night)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
in Games
Posted
Controls are so broken!
Ok had to start off with that so fanboys dont think I have been enlightened by the light of sheep mentality and blind worship but ANYWAY. Game is AMAZING. As I understand it better, the inventory, potions, shops, crafting and so much more. Even combat is decent as I understand it more(controls are still finicky and very rough though which gets in the way a lot).
Saviour was the recent 1.04 patch... No stutters now and performance has gone up by a LOT. Somehow, magically, I am able to play at a stable 30+ framerate on fookin ultra(foliage distance-high)! With hairworks ON!(using AMD trick n reducing tesselation to 16x tho, but hair looks gorgeous now)
Also applied a controller fix by editing an .ini file so player movement has slightly improved.
All in all loving the mood and art of the game. Also probably the deepest most convulated game I have played, I guess. Goodness that never ending cycle of dismantling! Hahahha
Still stand my ground that controls are awful and movement glitches on the horse and indoors are horrendous, game deserves a solid 8 in my book. No realistic man/gamer will give it a 10 though by totally denying what all is wrong with it(like a lot many here are doing).
In love with Ciri. So beutiful! So sexy!
