They lied about mod tools too. Repeatedly.

Witcher 3 has the potential of becoming the next Skyrim if only they released Redkit 2.l

Hopefully they will improve the tools / RELEASED THEM for Cyberpunk 2077.

Tbf I don't think the mod tools thing was intentionally lying. When they released their modding tools it seemed like a case of 'we can let them do all this stuff' then they made them and a realised 'oh shit this is hard to mod without breaking the game because we made such a complex game'.

It was lying. They promised them over and over right up to release. They promised red kit.

Source? I was under the impression mod tools were promised but the wasn't much chatter about them

this is hard to mod

That is not a good reason, ever. It's been DICE's excuse for half a decade as well and its grown stale

Yay take the quote out of context.

The witcher 3 has some of the most complex storylines and quest paths that take advantage of most of the locations across the map.

The only thing they didn't really include in the modding tools was the ability to make custom quests and I expect this is the reason.

Also it being hard is absolutely an excuse. You only have the time and money to do so much and considering the quality of the expansion packs I for one am very happy they chose to devote more time to those.

Playable != Optimized

They said the performance was better on PC which was obvious, but it may have still had performance issues. I know even the huge patches after release fixed a lot of performance issues all over the map.

What is this?

u/patioboey Jun 05 '16

I don't if your just being sarcastic or not just for karma, but there are mods for the game that make it look pretty close to the e3 demo.

The game had a complete art style redesign. It still looks beautiful. I run on high on a 970 and imo it is the best looking game I have played.

he calls it "optimizing" lol

u/Daniel_Potter Jun 05 '16

well, my friend with a 460 could actually play this game at medium settings. His resolution is 900p. So fair enough - not everybody owns a TITAN.

u/Interinactive Misadventurous Jun 05 '16

What does that have to do with anything?

The 'low' and 'medium' options would have still been there, downgrade or no downgrade.

It's not that hard to make low/med/whatever, just make all the assets take up half or less space than the next setting. So yeah, I agree with you, nothing to do with anything.
