Why does Witcher 2 feel more dated than the first game?
Because CDPR tried making it a console game and not a Witcher game. The entire game feels different than the other two. TW1 and TW3 have a very Slavic feeling to them and have great music while TW2 feels like yet another generic western high fantasy game and generic western RPG music.
Why the fuck would you enable bloom and dof
?
>full of quick time events
The only QTEs are the fist fights and there are not many of them.
>full of *bwooooooom* slowdown effects
What slowdown effects?
I agree with everything else.

Watching a stream of NPCs exiting a building is funny as fuck in this game because of this.
TW2 was total shit, and literally a "We want AssCreed AND DeS audience!" -the game.

someone forgot about the Dragon, huh?
>what slowdon effects?
at least play the game.

Because TW1 sold like shit so they thought they could capitalize on the console audience by making an AA game masquerading as an AAA title and making it as dumbed-down and soulless as possible.
Alas it became the frankenstein of the trilogy, the one with the half baked ideas/implementations and bizarre design choices.
>The only QTEs are the fist fights and there are not many of them.
Boss fights, mash button to do thing, etc.
>What slowdown effects?
When in cutscenes time slows down and the sound goes *bwooooooom* like, see

It's an effect that was "cool" in movies ten years before the game was made.

There is no slowdown effects.
Even the glory kills are at normal speed.

You're free to turn of DoF, what's the big deal about it? Sure it looks like ass, but who the fuck needs DoF? Well, except developers to cover up shit optimization and console manufacturers to cover up shit hardware?
>>377619513
Every non-human boss had QTEs, and human bosses sometimes have them as well.
I think them making their own game engine from scratch had a lot to do with it, it took up too much development time. And it's not like it even felt finished in the released game. Full of jank.

>You're free to turn of DoF
I know you can turn it off. The fact that it's there in the first place means the developers were retarded. It's how they intended the game to look, and it looks ugly and dated as fuck.
>>377619068
The whole game has like 4 QTEs

Maybe he means the slow mo when you open the menu to switch tools and signs.
>daily reminder that /v/ actually argued that this was a better game than DA2.
History has not been nice to /v/.
>>377622217
I started playing a bit of DAI and I don't know if it's just the disappointment from W3 but DAI feels like a better game.
t. likes W1.
>>377619068
>>forced stealth sections
What does this even mean? That you can't switch the game off if you don't like it?
dof, bloom, and the majority of qtes could be turned off
