I dunno if its just me, but these types of threads seem to attract more attention than actual news for XCX... :'-(

Of course dude. Negativity spawns discussion; positivity only shows agreement.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Hot damn The Witcher 3 makes me horny... XD

So does XCX, but for different reasons; with Monolith's game I love it for the vast alien landscapes, with Witcher it's the vibrant pallette and Tolkein-esque atmosphere.

Obviously Witcher has a clear technical advantage, but they're both absolutely stunning looking games in my eyes.


Sapkowski-esque Lets give credit where credit's due

Again... Damn! Witcher 3 looks sooo hot! I need to buy a new PC to enjoy this greatness, especially since my gf already spilled the beans that she's getting it for my birthday

And seriously guys, get real. There is NO comparison between W3 and XCX. Control your bias, cause it's pointless to argue here. You are comparing a weak console to a top of the line PC! You like mechs, you like Nintendo - cool, I understand. There is a saying in Poland, "some people like oranges, other people like to have stinking feet". You may like XCX, it will surely be awesome, but it's not the game with best graphics out there and it never stood a chance in this department. It looks great and that's "all". Even the faces somehow seem to look better as of late. But no Wii U game is ever going to come close to a AAA PC title, so lets stop this silly debate.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

well we dont know what real gameplay looked like it was just a trailer they showed which looked better than now. They sure downgraded to have more stable framerate

I wasn't debating that XCX looks as good as Witcher 3; not only did I acknowledge Witcher's clear technological advantage, I actually argued against another poster claiming there wasn't a big difference.

I'm just saying that I love the look of both games.

TW3's technical advantage is pretty clear (as would be expected; one is running on a small $200/$300 33w console, the other needs a GTX980 to max, or a PS4 to run high~ settings at 1080p/30fps), but passed that both do look lovely. It's nice being able to look forward to two games that both provide unique yet incredibly well presented worlds ^^

Edit: To the comment above me, i think the latter part of Scisca's post was refering to Materia-Blade and EpicLight, not you.

Debatable. That's for another thread. Completely different games with completely different environments/setting. 

Considering the WiiU's hardware limitations it's really not a debate. Even the PS4 and X1, both a significant power jump over the WiiU, can't run TW3's environments at max (at least not at 900-1080p/30fps).

I doubt you'd find many people who would pick the left side were they asked which looked more graphically impressive (top for ranged geometry, bottom for local. If you have better pics for either feel free to send them to me and i'll edit it).

I disagree about it being a discussion for another thread. Seems like a fairly logical extension from the topic and your comment.

the witcher 3 isnt really a graphicly impressive game, it may have huge areas and more detail but lacks big bosses and creatures. You will encounter mostly human like enemies like in the majority of western games these days, sure here and there is a dragon. I think XenoCX will offer more in that regard. Bloodborne is pretty much open world you can leave an area without any loadtimes whatsoever plus it has a variety of different enemies, small and big. Everything runs smoother on bloodborne than on the witcher 3 plus its 1080p on PS4. Witcher 3 is barley representable what 8Gen consoles are capable off, its a multiplat.

As Zekkyou said, the part after "And seriously guys" wasn't written to you, but to guys like Materia-Blade and Epic Light.

My bad, I misunderstood since it was quoting me, haha. XD

Being pretty pro-Nintendo, I go out of my way to try to maintain that I'm still a realist.

The bolded bit makes me think you've never actually played a Witcher game... ^^;
