You can adjust camera settings and slow it down. What I allso had to add that i miss ability to zoom closer or further.
But all in all , with all shortcommings - over 200 gameplay hours ! Wow ! Well worth the buy :)

lol well already level 4 , the fate touched weapons may be a wee bit too powerful especially with all the other free items I got like sheperds armor, and some other weapons. |

I've only gotten through the demo but the game looks like a lot of fun. Skyrim is an awesome game and it's sort of unfair to compare the two titles, IMO. |

Originally posted by reignjuste Overpriced yes. Asking way too much money for it sure. Charging console game prices for a PC game, very greedy. See where I'm going here? Played about 4 hours so far. It's actually better than I though as far as the RPG and different ways of tweaking your character but I cannot stand the WoW circa 2005 graphics and art style. I have been shouted at in other forums that it is closer to fable 1 than WoW though. Still not impressed. BTW it is WAAAAAAY overpriced ATM. Not sure if I said that. EDIT: Oh yeah by the way it looks NOTHING like the SS posted on the OP. Every since the whole TOR "hi-rez textures was a bug" shit I have become very attuned to this! [Mod Edit]

I played the demo and i though the game was just 'okay' that's it.Now apparently the demo did not feature the proper build and graphic enhancements so i would ask SBFORD to show us on PC format what the graphic really look like. Or was the excuse for the older build just another high rez cover up and the game is what it is on PC.Personally,the witcher 2 rains all over KOA,it really is a class above from story to graphics to combat. KOA = alot of buttom mashing,yes the witcher 2 has button mashing but at least you can look good doing it.

Originally posted by Sylvarii No the SS posted look nothing like that in-game. If you like WoW-ish graphics or apperantly Fable 1 then you will be OK. I used the NVIDIA CP to tweak it some but it still is just OK in my book, but I am an admitted Graphics Whore so take that as you will.

Originally posted by Sorrow I guess I got lucky and found a Purple Chackra (SP?) that does nice damage before I got out of the Well of Souls part. I got something in the chest in Gorath but can't remember what it was.

It's the exact same game regardless of platform, there is nothing greedy about them charging the same price. You people expect everything for free these days, it's sickening. |

Originally posted by Kost No shit? That is what I'm saying. PC games should not be as high as console games. Console games are/were higher for a reason. Plus again this is not anywhere near worth the same amount of money as say Skyrim is. Now THAT was worth $60, but barely. I hate the fact that $60 seems to be the new price point for AAA PC games coming out. You should hate it too. Free, no. A price worth the product, fucking A right I do!

Was looking forward to this game until I saw the grahpics style, tried the game anyway with the demo... was "meh" and I will probably not get this until its maybe 50-75% off. |

Is no longer the case. The reason why Console games used to be more expensive, is because at that time they games were sold on cartridges, which were a lot more expensive in production, than a CD/DVD format used with PC versions. Now all consoles have shifted to the standard DVD/Bluray disc format and there is no longer a reason for the price difference. |

So lower the console price, not raise the pc price, 60 is to steep especially in a day where reviews are worth less than a pint of piss, remember what was said about swtor? Could have just said its a bust and kept your credentials. With that, its been a few months and skyrim is doing some neat things, that's where my 60 is going and only because I have a couple gift cards I need to use up.

Originally posted by bartoni33 You need to stop shopping at the crap stores then, it can be pre-ordered here in the UK for £29.99 which is the price PC games have released at for as long as i can remember. Blame the stores, not the developer.
As for the graphics, looks just like in the screenshot to me, not that even it looks that great. You do have to bear in mind that this was first being made as an MMO until the company was bought then development was converted to single player with a mind for an MMO in the future. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

The stylised graphics and dramatic sfx don't do it for me. Makes me feel like I'm playing Super Mario in 3D, lol. I prefer the realistic and "boring" gfx styles used in games like Fallout and Skyrim, or Lotro and Fallen Earth, where the game world makes me feel as if it's "real", which is essential for my immersion in the game. |
