The Witcher 3, who is getting it?

Pre-ordered (PC master race) so pumped up for this one. They were talking about how if you find a city that has a mine that has been taken over by monsters and driven up the cost of whatever they were mining, you can clear the mine and lower the cost of the goods, or you can sneak in, grab as much of the material as you can and then sneak out to sell it at ridiculous prices. If they thought of small things like that, I am very hopeful for the way they will let us shape larger things in the world.

I think I'm going to skip this one.

I think it might be a better question to ask who is not purchasing this game.

It's certainly not a preorder for me. I never finished the second one and never started the first.

So PC gamers can be philistines? Who knew

Just make up a rumor that it requires 16 gb of vram and 4k resolution to even play and then they'd be all over it

Loved the first, was pretty underwhelmed by then 2nd.
Its most likely a gamefly for me.
Even though I only played the 2nd on console (1st on PC), I feel like they dumbed it down quite a bit for the consoles...maybe that is just me.

Even for PCers with high-end hardware, this practice is annoying because it either turns out to be a lie, or it means the game is poorly optimized and there's a huge resource requirement disparity between "very high" and "ultra" with no payoff in terms of quality enhancement. It's also extremely misleading to suggest a vram requirement but be vague about the rest of the GPU. NVidia releases 4GB versions of mid-range cards and has been for a while, but none of those older cards would be up for the task of moving huge uncompressed high-res textures in and out of memory fast enough because of the limited memory bandwidth. It's funny how those recommended requirements rarely mention resolution, so are we to assume 1080P? 1440P? 4K? Because to say that something needs 6GB of vram for 1080P at any setting is laughable (shadow of mordor).
Instead of throwing out arbitrary numbers and specific models for "optimal" performance, publishers really ought to stick to bare minimum "the-game-won't-run-without-it" requirements, and list the various settings that tax specific hardware (i.e. textures are memory intensive, MSAA needs memory and GPU, the game is coded to use as many as 4 cores or as few as 1, etc.)
Even the way Star Citizen devs presented hardware requirements is better than how it's usually done. They straight up said you need XYZ specs to run it, and you are not going to be able to max it out with current high-end hardware.

I always hear the opposite. I tried the first and couldn't handle the terrible controls so I quit.

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure they developed Witcher 2 only for PC and then ported it to 360 a year or so after the fact. Would have taken some serious foresight to dumb it down for consoles with that development plan.
