>>739686297get Windows 11 then?are all PC faggots this mentally ill?
>>739686525>get this defective version that's had a string of issues including those that brick your hardware>made by a company that's mostly jeets doing vibecoding>to play this DLC made by the studio that has had so much staff loss since CP2077 that it's probably not even the same people who made the original W3>all so you can have path tracingGrow a brain morans
>>739686297Kind of cool to get AAA content that my 5 years out-of-date PC will be able to run, but I have very little hope it'll be good.
>>7396866525 year old PC should literally be able to run every game out there.
>>739686650>heres my 300 word essay why i simply not get Windows 11didnt even bother reading that
They have to say Win11 because microshart stopped supporting it, it's not like the old days where you could list XP/2000/98 because only 5% had a constant internet connection at the time.
>>739686824Learn to count you barely sapient shit ape.
>>739686297does it actually? I installed some games that "supposedly" required 11 on windows 10 or even linux and somehow worked. Did anyone test it yet?
>>739686297So will the game refuses to run if i use Win 10 or what ?
>>739686751Older than that then, idk. I could barely run E33 on medium.
>but muh security updates until 2032I told you third parties would drop support long before that just like they did with 7.Just get over your Stockholm syndrome and drop this jeetware OS already.
>>739687161most likely notwhat this really means is they can't say they officially support Win 10 anymore ever since Microsoft stopped doing security updates
>>739687223The Witcher 3 did not support Linux
>>739686652it's red engine 3. it should run maxed out on a gtx 1060
>>739686650I run Windows 11 and I have not encountered any issues at all. Get bent, dipshit.
>>739687189Probably mid range new from 5 years ago which means more like 10 year old parts.
>>739686297they only said they stopped testing on 10it will still work on 10, even better than on bloated 11
>>739687159>I installed some games that "supposedly" required 11 on windows 10What game ?? I didnt pay attention to OS on minimum requirements
>>739687159Minimum requirements never mean anything, you could try windows 8 and it will probably work finethey just put it there so they're not accountable if the game doesn't work (because they haven't tried win8)
>>739686824>I refuse to readCongratulations my zoomie friend, you're exactly the type of customer MS looks for with their spyware OS.>>739687364>I've never been robbed, therefore crime does not existSaar, pls.
>>739686297A lot of new games say that, but you can run them fine,
>>739688820https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/gamer/gaming-pcs/pragmata-system-requirements-and-recommended-specs/Youre right and i played Pragmata. Its still not over for us 10bros
>>739687159it will work, op is retarded >>739687223 this guy too
>>739687245>>739687757this sounds most plausible. but i still don't get the other raised minimum requirements
>>739687364>I run Windows 11Therefore you are not considered human and things you say matter not.
>>739688324Correct. It has not happened to me, therefore there's no need for me to worry. I am better than you, ergo my experience is more important than yours. Kill yourself, faggot.
it better be free, aint no one paying money for that
Is there any Modern games that out in last 3 months that can run with Windows 7 ?
>>739689203$40 plus tip
https://support.cdprojektred.com/en/witcher-3/pc/sp-technical/issue/2973/upcoming-changes-to-minimum-requirements-for-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt>Windows 11 will be the minimum required OS for both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 following Microsoft's end of support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. Without ongoing security updates, official platform support, and continued GPU driver support, we will no longer test our games on Windows 10. >HDDs will no longer be supported, as SSDs offer faster load times, smoother asset streaming, and improved overall performance.>The game will exclusively run using DirectX 12, which allows us to support ongoing technical improvements and modern hardware more effectively.>Only processors supported on Windows 11 will be supported by us.>Only graphics cards with ongoing active driver support for gaming on Windows 11 will be supported.Not my problem.
>>739689172Bragging about using an inferior product because you haven't experienced the obvious deficiencies doesn't mean the product isn't inferior.>>739689302What's funny is under any other circumstance, I would have probably preordered this Witcher 3 DLC by now. But by making it W11 only and doing this extra 'we improved the visuals for a modern audience' shit, they've turned me into someone who is going to end up pirating it and using the inevitable mods to get it working on W10.
How many levels of development hell is TW4 on for them to do this?
I have W11 and I can tell you from experience that you do not want it.Don't be like me. Learn from my mistakes. No game is worth it.
>>739688972I don't know what the other req's are, but that doesn't matter for this general explanation:for example, you could have a pong or tetris remake and min. req's would be win11 and an rtx5080, just because it's the hardware/software they have available. they're not gonna test it on a 10 year old configuration>but why not?couple of reasons, either the studio can get good equipment for free/cheap, either by doing a sponsor deal or tax writeoffs. it's also not feasible to check every configuration possible. why bother checking 'worse' configs when it's only gonna be mindless consumers that only buy the LATEST LATEST LATEST shit anyways
>>739689292tip of what?
>>739686490>master raceYou're nothing but a cocksucker of jeets. No real man would ever kneel before a pajeet.
>>739689038Seethe more, fuckface. Windows 11 is still the most used OS in the world. I have not encountered any problems with it. I am a better person than you in every way. Hence my opinion carries vastly more weight than a shitskin like you.
>>739689376>the inevitable mods to get it working on W10.How would you make it work on a gpu that doesn't support DirectX 11?
>>739689172WHEN, not if, it happens to you, we will mock you. You realize that, right?
>>739689512>an average Microslop 11 user in all his glory
>>739689563I wonder the same thing. I cannot play Elden Ring because it needs DX12.I see so many idiots making modifications that make games run with later versions of DirectX, but I don't see the opposite, modified libraries that allow a game to run in earlier DX versions like 11. Or things that allow a computer incompatible with Vulkan to run such games with DirectX/OpenGL.
what the fuck else would they say? Windows 10 is EOS
>>739689486so you're telling me that recommend/minimum specs are mostly bullshit and only mirror what the devs themselves have on hand?
>>739689512A slave proud of being a slave. If people like you were more common, the CSA would still be standing.
>>739686297Imagine being so tech illiterate you think an update to a 12 year old game will "require" Windows 11. Drooling retard tier.>inb4 you reply with the windows 11 listing.They list only Windows 11 because it won't be tested or QA'd on Windows 10.
>>739689512The most indian-coded post in the history of /v/
>>739689836Windows 10 still got security updates until 2032
>>739689836And a sizable chunk of the userbase, myself included, refuse and/or are unable to use Windows 11 because of its excessive restrictions on requirements. The fact TPM and SecureBoot failed in their purpose makes Win11 irrelevant as well.
>>739689838yes
>>739689972security update is maintenance mode, it's not officially supported enymore with new updates and features. There's legal reasons why they can only list Windows 11 even if 10 will play the game just fine
>>739690089I dont need those features so no thank you
>>739689563Well, if it's just some rendering stuff in the engine being updated, I don't see why the content from the DLC couldn't be extracted then repacked into a mod for the base game. It's probably not that simple, but it doesn't seem impossible.>>739689736Huh? I have W10 and have played through Elden Ring and its DLC without any problems.
>>739690057what about directx? witcher 3 runs much better for me on directx 11, can we hope for a mod to make witcher 3 run on that directx in the future?
>>739686297Time to update saar.
>>739687364Its the people who run all the debloaters and wreck their systems.
>>739690274Because your computer is compatible with DirectX12. Mine isn't.
>>739689972>the edition of 10 meant specifically for devices like ATMs got security updates until 2032fixed that for you
>>739690320I don't know anything about directx (or how it interacts with hardware) but if nobody else answers it and you really care, you could probably get an answer here >>>/g/sqt
>>739689406This game is being done by the people making the Witcher 1 remake which is supposed to be UE5. That's probably what is in development hell. I'd say they're having second thoughts on using UE5 for all their games and want their own engine back. This is a way to test if they can continue work on the Red Engine.
>>739690445Yes, LTSC is the GOAT of OS
>>739690274>>739690417how old are your potatoes jesus christ, dx12 has been supported for a decade
>>739689986Technically you CAN install 11 if you go with LTSC, they got rid of the TPM requirement in that one without requiring any fuckery with the ISO from the user.
>>739686297Expansion on a old game that used to ran on a bunch of old OS, this means that they went out of their way to make it unplayable on win10.From the creators of "No steam, No buy" i'll introduce "No Win10, No buy".
>>739690417....Yeah anon your PC is from 2009. Its time to upgrade your ATI Radeon 5770 / Phenom X3 PC
>>739690476>Witcher 1 remake which is supposed to be UE5I wish CDPR never happened.
>>739690463thanks
>>739687284It doesn't need to, that's the best part of it.
>>739686297Free on PS5.
>>739691168what are you talking about?
>>739686297Just means the PCs they tested it on used Windows 11 so that's all they can guarantee works.
>>739686297not gonna trust cdprojekt still
shitttt.... I don't even have my old save anymore.
>>739686297They mainly just mean that the minimum they tested it on is Win11. It doesn't mean that they literally will restrict the game from running on 10.Unless it uses some kind of process that's only available on Win11, it'll most likely also run on 10. It's just that they won't certify it as such.
That means ER can get another DLC too!
>Yarpen Zigrin is back>Iorweth is back>Sihil is the ultimate steel sword>final boss is a Vilgefortz level opponentAll I really want.
>>739691483Yeah, and Sekiro
>>739687364I can't even open the sound setting menu without shit freezing up in that window
>Give Geralt the perfect fairy tale send off>bring him back 12 years laterNo sir I don't like it
>>739691529i'd want to see mother nenneke
>>739686297>halfway through 2026>she's still using WindowsIs this thread serious? Lol.
kek poorfags SEETHING
>>739691642blame it on witcher 4. since it stars ciri they'll have to bring back all the plots and characters in some way. to explain what happened between the games
>>739691642i like it honestly, fuck new games, i actually like expansions of games i like
>>739691743nah, it works on 10, there are no unique 11 only functions that games use, it just means they're not testing the game on 10 anymore so they can't officially say that it will work on 10
>>739691529>Yarpen ZigrinHis VA is dead
>>739691642what fairy tale send off? He's hanging out at a vineyard in the centre of civilisation, still young and ready for battle.
>>739686297this makes me wonder does anyone optimize for operating system? lolidk what would even go into that like how do you make something that works on windows 11 but doesnt work on windows in general
>>739686297>it's a fucking anthology>no new region>it's 5 vignettes>1-2 hours each>they are set sometime between the games>$14.99 +tax +tip
>>739691863you're thinking of Zoltan
>>739691895>>it's a fucking anthologydon't see a problem with that
>>739691863That's Zoltan's voice actor.
>>739686297The game runs on win10, it'll still run. It's just because support has moved on to 11
>>739686525OP is a spamming faggot he doesn't care about Windows 11 just getting retards like you to reply to him seriously. That goes for the rest of you too. Kill yourselves.
>makes one ending canon so they don't have to address multiple timelines in W4>lays stupidass groundwork for Ciri becoming a mutantyou rike?
>>739692051depend on the execution i guess, not saying that i will like 4, but the expansion can still be good by itself even knowing that 4 will exist and geralt will be no more
>>739686297Its been years since i finishes Witcher 3. I dont even get the canon ending. I got the ending where Ciri becomes a nilfgaardian crown princess and separate with Gerald for good.I dont finish Blood and Wine DLC. I really dont want to replay the game again....
>>739692051>>lays stupidass groundwork for Ciri becoming a mutant>"songs of the past""um akshually there was always female witchers but they've been erased/forgotten or whateva"
>>739692375Im sure there will be a way to start with a preseeded save. hell, actually I think there will be a recap of sorts
>>739692375you don't need to i think, you can play the expansions directly from the main menu, assuming it's like BaW or HoS
>>739686297can't even imagine how woke and lame its going to bethere are totally going to emasculate geralt with some girlboss rescuing him every 5 seconds and every important and strong leader/figther being all woman again
>>739692832calm down, they're not american cuckolds
Why are the brokies who can't even run w11 on their ewaste mad the game requires w11? You weren't buying it or running it, clearly.
>>739692398I’ll be so fucking mad. Thanks for reminding me to let subhumans play and review it first, then decide whether I’ll buy.
>>739692929You're right, they're Polish cuckolds.
I've seen normies on twitter acting like giving an expansion to an older game like this is unprecedented.When that happened to Baldur's Gate, Kingdoms of Amalur, Titan Quest, Quake and Doom to name a few.How fucking retarded and clueless is the current gaming audience?
>>739686297lol
>>739693043those expansions were given by other dev teams tho, so they're considered non canon by fans even if they're actually canon
Game opens with Geralt chilling at his vineyard when Ciri and new her Zerrikania boyfriend come to visit. Plot is about Geralt letting go of his witcherchud past.
>>739693043you really need to ask? same people consider witcher 3 to be one of the best games ever. thats all you need to know

>>739693838More stuff or somethingThey did the same when the expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 came out
why even release a DLC for this now?
>>739693996nah it'll be "i'm too old for this shit" and ciri'll be like "it is time for me to take up the reins" and everybody will clap
>>739686297>"Am i really going to defile this grave for money?">"Of course i am!"
>>739694137Apparently to bridge the gap between Witcher 3 and Witcher 4Some anons have speculated that Ciri has gone through the mutations, because of her eyes and having a new medallion so some stuff has probably happenedOr its just a small expansion to act as a marketing schemePick whatever you feel like believing anon
>>739694137Guess despite the shilling and the anime people forgot about cyberpunk
>>739686297Lmao. who the fuck cares. If that is a problem for you, then obviously you are not the target audience and are inexistant.
imagine if fromsoft announced Bloodborne was getting an expansion pack for a second run at defeating The Witcher 3 to claim the GOTY crown from it.
Doug Cockle's Netflix quest voice was already like a kick in the face compared to talking to another NPC two minutes earlier. It's not a bad Geralt voice, but it's just so much different. Would be perfect for a new Witcher with an even older Geralt but now sidequesting old content in the middle of the new shit is going to give whiplash.
>>739694108That's dumb, but I just remembered some old games did that too
>>739690408This. Remember to keep all the telemetry and Copilot on as well to guarantee a 100% optimal Windows 11 experience. Only the people who start messing around, disabling stuff, and tinkering in the settings end up complaining about bugs. Windows 11 just works.
>>739694412wait, isn't Doug Cockle already the voice of geralt in game?
>>739694212Nyyooouuu... They aren't like the other companies! They do this because they care about us, the players!
>>739686297Is it still going to be the same polish voice for Geralt?
>>739686297>Minimum requirements : Windows 11are /v/irgins really this retarded?tons of games say they require windows 11 on steam, but they actually don't and run exactly the same on 8 and 10. resident evil 9 and pragmata for example.
Is the PS5 version still broken with input lag?
>>739692957The game is from 2015
>>739694510He's older now and his voice sounds worse. Its kinda like how David Hayter cant do the normal Solid Snake voice anymore and can only do the Old Snake or Big Boss voice.
>>739694962the dlc is from 2027

Real question here:main quest women were Yen and TrissHearts of Stone had the comeback of ShaniBlood and Wine didn't have bitches for Geralt to fuck, but had the Countess and her bitch sister from fantasy not-FranceSo will we have another hot girl for the Witcher? Who could it be?
>>739695856>ShaniBest girl
>>739695856Ciri should be the protag of the dlc, so it works as a setup for the next game
>>739686297Still shan't be playing the bitcher 3
im sorry haha, but i just won't.. updateto windows 11 haha..yea yea.. i know, i'm not haha gonna update it
>>739686297the worst thing is that this DLC is just going to be some DEI fag shit injected into W3 and if you're lucky it will leave the rest of the world/ setting alone
NuCDPR will fucking humiliate themselves with this DLC. Shit performance, writing and game design.I bet the normie cattle will cope with "They will learn from it for Witcher 4"
>>739686297im sure someone will just make a workaround if they actually dont let it launch in win10also nobody will buy videogames from developers that lock people on win10 out so it wouldnt be smart of them to do this
>>739695006I wouldn't say the Netflix quest voice is terrible. Geralt works with an older, gravely voice anyway. It's just that within the same game, it's way different. The isolated, tiny Netflix quest wasn't a big deal. But a big DLC like this could be a big deal if you're mixing in new and old content. I'd rather have Cockle with his new voice than any other VA, but the real issue here is that we're getting another DLC for an old ass game when we should have just had TW4 by now, which I assume Geralt will show up in somewhere.Honestly, they should have made another Cyberpunk DLC instead and just let us wait for TW1R and TW4.
>>739686297I'm happy about this because its my favourite game and I've been looking for an excuse to replay it for the fifth time. I'm also kinda annoyed because Blood and Wine ended Geralt's story perfectly.
>>739695890Damn right
>>739696141i dont want a cyberpunk dlc. i want them to finish making cyberpunk.
>>739692398I hate this comment because i know its true.
>>739686525yesyes they arejust observe how they shit up this entire board with their insane consolewarfaggotry everyday and chase away actual gamers who just want to discuss games
>>739696267I wish I could filter the comments and only read stuff from people who play video gamesalas
Calling it, Geralt gets send on a quest, gets killed by the villain who's the main protag of the witcher 4 where you play as Ciri to get revenge
>>739692398this. but sadly enough the can do it without retconning much. there has always been female warriors and with other "male" professions in the books and though rare, they never were portrayed as something extremely odd or different
>>739686525SHUT THE FUCK UP aaaaaaaaah
>>739691642>Give Geralt the perfect fairy tale send offIf Geralt chooses Triss, she becomes the advisor for Kovir's king, and he still does some contract work up north, where TW4 is supposedly taking place.
>>739696619not happening, revenge is le bad and you cant have a woman being bad
inb4 geralt gets his head caved in by a mutant roid rage stronk woman
I've just been replaying it because I never got to play the expasionsThis game's exterior environments are still something elseI have no expectations for a modern expansion tho, current day CDProjekt sucks ass. I'd be surprised if they remembered how to use the in-house engine
>>739696619they are not killing geralt. not in a million years. and we already had the passing the torch moment in that super fucking retarded witcher 3 ending that makes no sense at all but the devs really wanted to have because they thought it would be a touching moment.
>>739689265Mate, you posted this image at least three times. Generate some new shit for gwen's sake.
>>739686297I hope it gets a physical release like the other expansions.

>>739698965There've always been edition wars but I don't get what causes this level of seethe about win11 years after release. Like, it mostly just werks, most anons are unlikely to use more unusual features and run into issues with it. Privacy and analytics? I understand the concern but you can debloat it and it's been an issue for at least a few versions already.Are they just 3rd worlders with hardware so old they can't install it, is that it?
>>739686525it is freetards, yeah they are all mentally ill
>>739686297>not on xbox one>not on ps4Is this even legal?
>>739686297So linux should be fine, right? The dx12 version works with no issues on steam
>linux schizos get a better experience than win10 chudsstrange times
STOP KILLING GAMES
>>739702260no, linuxtroon
Windows 11 was coded by demons, and with Copilot and Recall it unironically became spyware/malware. Poland has truly fallen. RIP CDPR.
>MFW I still haven't played any of the expansions even though I own the game on multiple consoles and PCThe main story and exploration are long enough that I just get burned out after beating the game.
>>739686297I'm less concerned about the win11 requirement (it will probably run fin on win10 anyways) and more about the hardware requirements.why the FUCK are they greater than the base game's?
>>739686297Install gentoo. Witcher fags are such babies.
>>739704113Theyre both bretty gudalthoguh yea, fair enough. Shit’s LONG
>>739701686Supposedly to bridge the gap between 3 and 4.
>>739686297wonder if this DLC will be included with the complete edition of the game or if they'll charge everyone for it.
>>739691743isn't it free to go from 10 to 11? I didn't because I don't want to update if I don't have a reason to, never considered it a price thing
ciri is going to be so powerful as a witcheress
>>739702260>So linux should be fine, right?Proton has reached "it just werks" stage 2 main versions ago.
>>739699094It's a reference to an old meme, newfriend.
>>739686297the hardware requirments only confirm the rumors even more that it's going to be a standalone DLC running on the unreal 5 engine for the next witcher game and not the engine of witcher 3 and cyberpunk.
>>739692051>makes one ending canon so they don't have to address multiple timelines in W4more like they'll throw a bunch of plot contrivances that force every possible save into the desired situation with some minor flavor text differences. the bioware special basically
>>739706994so why are the requirements for the base game getting increased? >>739707361they'll probably do that. or make all endings canon someway.
>>739690615AIKA my beloved...
>Buy game for Windows 7>Later game update makes it incompatible with Windows 7 (and Windows 8, and Windows 10)>Game now unplayable on anything but Windows 11>Money stolenHow is this legal?
>>739704113My first playthrough of W3 took 120 hours, although I am an autist and ADHD. I didnt even try to 100% it, just did what seemed interesting or useful.
>>739707757Unsupported is not the same as unplayable you fucking faggotNot even defending CDPR here. The main game is still just as playable as before.Just dont download the new DLC you retard
>>739707791that's the based approach to gaming. just playing the game without fear of missing out on content. i am replaying witcher 3 right now without the minimap so i just go where my eyes lead me, without chasing quest markers
>>739708115I've played Nioh 3 for 250 hours already with the same mindset and I didn't even finish it yet lmao
>>739707361They already did that with the W2->W3 transition handling the W2 choices (though boy did they shaft the Scoia'tel pickers), and really the only variables are>Who rules the North?>Witcher Ciri or Empress Ciri?>Geralt romance choice>Maybe your dlc ending choices or who rules Skellige/the Baron's fate if they want some minor callbacksMost can easily be reduced to flavor text if the game isn't set in the North, so Ciri's fate is the only true variable they have to account for. But it's not that hard to find some way to have Ciri quit ruling Nilfgaard
>>739686297>old game now requires win 11When can hangings be expected for this kind of behavior. I hope I'm not being rascist...
>>739690408The astronauts on the moon mission had to call tech support from space because they had two instances of outlook open and both of them were frozen
>>739686297no
>>739707875How would it be unsupported or unplayableIt's literally the same gameYou would have to go out of your way to make it not work on those systems
>>739707875>Unsupported is not the same as unplayableYes it is, now please kill yourself you braindead shill.
>>739699557>start this trend>CTRL+F >paradox>Phrase not found??? how
>>739708301>Ciri's fate is the only true variable they have to account forthey'll make all endings canon. first eveeryone thought ciri was dead, including geralt(ciri dead ending), but she re appeared which only geralt knew (witcher ciri ending) but after a time emhyr found out so she accepted her fate as empress (ciri empress ending) but she got tired of that with everyone still wanting to use her and her powers for their own gain so she concocted a plan with geralt and yennefer to undertake the trial of grasses which renders her infertile and somehow removes her elder blood powers, voila and there you have witcher 4. now ciri is free to pursue her dream of being a witcher
>>739695563This. The penguin can't stop winning bigly!
>>739693716It's 100% some fucking bullshit meant to excuse all of the lore rape that Witcher 4 is built uponYou'll be lucky if they don't kill Geralt Vesemir style
>>739708887>You'll be lucky if they don't kill Geralt Vesemir styleI'm calling it now: Geralt will get the Joel treatment...
>>739708626unsupported only means that IF there's a problem, you cannot request assistance from the devs since you run the game on an OS that the devs didn't test for, but you can still play the game
>>739708887>Vesemir styleDog's death. I really dislike main quest post fog island.
>>739689512>muh bandwagon appealYawn.
>>739709304yeah. most content can be played before the isle of mists leading to the rest of the game feeling empty. unless you postpone many side quests
>>739689512>Windows 11 is still the most used OS in the world.And circumcision is an adopted practice across the globe; both of these are forced onto the public by a <<<certain>>> group.
>>739709149Oh absolutely not, they're not jewish enough for that and they know full well they would get dragged through the streets and hangedHe'll get a heroic, sad death but they'll still fucking kill him in their corporate fanfic as opposed to the canonical ending where he retires to Corvo Bianco because he fucking earned it.
>>739686297upgrade your os for a dlc do slavs really
>>739709149Can't be worse than the books really
Not only is the future illogically gay, incompetent and straight up retarded but now they have to go and rape the past as well
>>739709670I'm utterly convinced that there is a cabal of satanic elite who get of on causing as much misery as possible.
>>739707875Shouldn't a game be entirely playable on the system it was developed for? What bullshit is this where you can run a game but not its dlc? This is unheard of.
>people are genuinely surprised at CD Projekt's technical ineptitudeBTW Cyberpunk is still a broken mess that runs like shit, ignore the shills
>>739695394>and cyberpunk 2077i thought they were done with it now though
>>739701686cheap cash grab watch it be mediocre and worse than blood and wine
>>739686650look how this makes fecaloids seethe
>>739709869Most likely it is tied to libraries in the engine. If some libraries add dependencies only available in Windows 11 any new changes they make to the game will be bound to those dependencies.
>>739686297It will play just fine, "no longer supported" doesn't mean "it will no longer work"
>>739686297>endless bitching about currentOSIt was like this when 8.1 ended service. And 7. And Vista. And XP. You guys act like 10 is the last hope you have against a shitty OS when 10 is in fact a shitty OS that you bitched about having to leave 8.1 for. Same with 7. Microsoft hasn't made a real OS since fucking XP, they've all been shit. inb4 "b-b-but 11 is slightly more shit than 10" just like 10 was slightly more shit than 8.1. They're all bad, they're gonna get worse, and you're going to be forced to upgrade. If you don't want to, switch to mint or something.
>>739709869I agree and you are correct here.But nowadays DLC is additional content and you didn't buy it when you bought the game.So you still have the game you paid for and then if you want to, you can buy the additional product.I'm just trying to make sense of it, I'm not defending CDPR here.I'm probably not going to play it either way.
>>739699094It's a MEME, you dip.
>>739710198The main difference is that the switch from windows 8 didn't involve any major upgrade in hardware. I could use my old i5 just as easily on windows 8 as I could on 10. The issue is not that "new thing bad", it's that the new thing is clear downgrade from the previous iteration both in terms of resource management and efficiency.
>>739710389You are a warlock incanting memes of ancient times, don't even try to make sense nowadays.GO USA U MORANS
>>739710198>If you don't want to, switch to mint or something.Oh I have, and yet here I am, still complaining.
>>739708332>AI Norm
>>739691642I agree. Feels like they're doing the same as everybody else now. They fucked up so now they're falling back and going "hey guys remember when people thought we were cool?"
>>739710836KEK
>>739691642>bring him back 12 years laterNo way 2015 was yest-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>739711208the march of time is spooky
What are the genuine odds Witcher 4 ends up flopping simply because Ciri is ugly?
>>739711983All in.
>>739711983why are you people this insane
>>739711983It will do well at the very least. Maybe not as well as they would like and all the budget they put into it. People do like Witcher but many are against this Ciri direction, even if they like Ciri. Her being a Witcher feels weak and any explanation just feels cheap. A Ciri game would have been fine if they leaned into maybe more of an action RPG, one and done. Planning out a whole new trilogy with her as a Witcher and at the center is a bad call.
>>739712448the voice change alone has killed much of my interest in it, the original ciri VA was 10/10, perfect for the character, the new one sounds generic
>>739710836What kind of joke would norm use for ai? For me, it's amazing how we can use the latest technological advancements such as ai for...jacking off!
>>739686297I am currently playing this on windows 7.
>>739686297Windows 10 is done and dusted, it doesn't mean that it won't work on it just you can't get help from them if it doesn't you have to look up other users for help.
u wot m8That's quite odd. If it somehow has the quality of the other expansions though, then fuck it, I'm game.I never actually finished Blood and Wine.
>>739686297lol get fucked luddite
>>739713228>has the quality of the other expansion that I didnt finishehits also primarily made by the witcher 1 remake studio, with cdpr oversight
>>739713228>If it somehow has the quality of the other expansions thoughit's blackrock CDPR making it bro
>>739686297i wonder what the scale will beanother blood and wine?
Better mean a PS5pro patch. Or another patch that lowers res and makes graphics better.
>>739686525can torrent a mostly bloat-free cleaned up version and crack it with 1 cmd prompt. Sure it has faults, but I've been around to see this repeated whining since windows xp.Truth is, some complaints may be valid, but they're so minor that 99.9% of retards playing vidya have no ground to stand on with these complaints. I've upgraded every single time and I've done benchmarks to logged usage between upgrades, it runs all the fucking same. Maybe if I was a third world poorfag that was still running a min-max clocked rtx 1060 I'd complain too, but thank god I'm spared from such a miserable existence.
>>739713502The PS5 version in general is broken with input lag
>>739713804For me (and I think for most of W10 users) the change from 10 to 11 is mostly about the change. It's a fucking hassle.There's some organizing to do and fear of losing your customizations etcthe actual luddites are rare.There's some real flaws in W11 compared to W10, but then again W10 is bullshit too. Being used to W10 bullshit, the W11 bullshit seems alien and horseshit.I'm thinking about changing to W10 IoT LTSC or just straight up to Bazzite.
Why?
>>739715080MONEY!
>>739711983They're gonna doll Ciri up behind the scenes
>playing anything by CDPR.Sorry I only play GOOD games.
