He's better now. That second image is kinda unfair because it was taken during company summer retreat or something when he got tanned.

The Witcher games are so boring. Broken tedious combat. Mediocre writing. Boring characters.

Then it all went to shit

It's like his face got downgraded alongside the game.

It's still amazing the way Witcher 1 turned out considering that, in his own words, company was literally learning the basics of video game development along the way.

>>385605870
>Witcher 3 downgrade meme
Even with downgrade and insane optimization this game still barely runs at 30FPS on consoles. With trailer graphics it would burn most machines.

>>385605964
Just gotta get out there and try anon.

>>385605964
one of the reasons why they have respect for bioware is because they were a huge help for cdpr early on with aurora engine documentation and even providing a space for them at an event so they can demo their game.

>>385605720
he gave his power to witcher 3, it's GOTG for a reason

>>385606206
Because back then BioWare was actually based studio. Now they are bunch of Tumblr hacks.

>>385606290

What he said. Current Bioware problem think the Witcher series is good but could use some changes to be less "problematic"

while true what they did with the aurora engine for the first witcher is out of this world. shame it was also unstable as FUCK until enhanced edition.

>>385606206

Holy hell, I hadn't heard this anecdote before

Could such a repeat thing ever happen again considering how close all companies keep their proprietary engines to their chests.

>>385606443
Eh, keep in mind AURORA engine was already old at that point and CDPR probably licensed it because it was dirt cheap.

Sorry I just got alot of hype out that because of how mentor/mentee that was for Bioware to do form them, of their own will. I love that shit.

>>385606563
This. BioWare never used that engine again and sold it cheap as fuck to CD Projekt because they knew them (they were distributing their games in Poland).

This is encouraging, seeing punk stuff like this.

From a lot of their promo material I was worried that Cyberpunk would be generic Call of Duty-style future.

>>385607082
It will be toned down for sure to appeal for mass audience. It's a super ambitious Triple A game. It has to sell.

>>385606628

I wish CDPR went back to making AA games instead of Triple A open world meme boring shit.

>>385606438
is that modded or shopped? because the definitely didnt look like that

>>385605840
that really seems the kind of "haha im having fun and my depression doesn't bother right now" kind of face, i make that when i have fun

CDPR is apparently a shit place to work

It is. You can read company reviews on some sites. Literally every single one complains about terrible fucking management, which makes total sense.
All of their games were Frankenstein Monsters that barely made it and were put together by a miracle.
They also waste A LOT of resources. Witcher 3 does so much shit it doesn't need at all (or even ruins the fun) it's just astounding.
They absolutely lack polish (pun not intended) and organized work.

Witcher 1 and 2 were AA at most anon.

lul, this is like every god damn big company ever, like for example where the fuck does valve put it's money? they sure don't spend it on shit but running the company without new products costs money so it's a waste of fucking time to not release games

Witcher 1 is A and Witcher 3 is (obviously) AAA.

No you have no idea how much CDPR waste.
Half of the content is always cut from their games (Witcher 1 had like 100 hours of content cut from the game) and they develop unnecessary shit for their games like Item Rarity in W3, crossbow etc.

>>385608258
>cartoony
u wat son

>>385608290
If they waste resources it was definitely because until Witcher 3 they had no HR department.

>>385608745
They still do this. Most recent reviews still talk about shitty management and communication.
Their teams do whatever the fuck they want. Like not whole year ago Russian CDPR team leaked very important stuff about Gwent because they just don't care about the upper staff.
Seriously it's a fucking miracle that they even exist as a whole.

>>385608662
>waste of resources
>featues and content that didn't make it into the game

That's not what waste of resources is, though. It would be something like changing engines mid-development or such. Missing chapter in Witcher 2, for example, is missing because they prioritized polishing system over more content. Whether they succeed at that or whether crossbow is a wasted effort is subjective.

>>385608437
>Witcher 1 is A
No, Witcher 1 is AA. It had a publisher.
Indie games are A.

>>385608876
>changing engines mid-development or such
Except they did change it. Or at least had to make game from scratch again.
At first they wanted separate PC and console versions but it proved to be way too expensive so they abandoned EVERYTHING and started again with version on all three platforms.

What the fuck does valve do with its money? Genuine question. They have released a game in years.

>>385607953
>>385608131
>>385608350

There is no such fucking thing as A or AA games.

AAA is a marketing slang for "ye we pump money into every part of the game to make it fuckin' A"

It's not a sliding scale. It's just a buzzword.

>>385608985
Hookers and blow

>>385608974
From what I understand they re-wrote the shader pipelines for Witcher 3. Then again I really don't know much about game engines.

>AAA is a marketing slang for "ye we pump money into every part of the game to make it fuckin' A"
Actually, AAA comes from credit providers' ratings of their clients. A client who is AAA is seen as a safe bet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_credit_rating#Credit_rating_tiers
This is in analogue to AAA video games with large budgets, which are seen as a safe bet that is too big to fail.

There's no reason why we can't call small-budget published games "AA" and indie games "A". All the terminology is borrowed anyway.

>>385608985
They just take it for themselves/spend it on Steam servers.
They literally don't have to do anything just manage Steam from time to time. They get money from every game sold there.

>>385608967

DISTRIBUTOR, not a publisher. CDPR is independent and always has been.

I wonder why they haven't gone full independent like Larian. Maybe they read Scen's blog and decided against it.

>>385609631
tell me

>>385609631
They are self-publishing in regions where they have corporate presence as a distributor. As for other regions, it's probably not worth the problems, especially since Atari and such are happy to provide marketing for them for a piece of the pie.

I imagine because CDPR is a much larger player with more logistical issues in worldwide distribution. Probably not worth it for them at the moment.
