They explain their stories to you but sometimes some additional info is great so use the interwebz for that. ALSO READ THE FUCKING BOOKS. They explain a lot about the world The Wither play in AND the new game will open up with a huge spolier of the books. Apparently the third game will be a direct continuation of the book story while the other two games were more independent. €: Forgot to add that the books are generally great. Not only for the game. | ||

The short story compilations (The Last Wish and The Sword of Destiny) are really good, almost must-reads in the fantasy genre to me. The main saga has some good parts and bad parts, but if you really want to understand how Yennefer and Ciri tie into Witcher 3 you almost have to read the saga. As long as you read at a decent pace you will probably be done all the books in time for May 19th, most of them are fairly compact and not like reading ASOIAF or Wheel of Time. | ||

Graphics are more subject to taste idk No one is defending 30 fps, its not something you defend. I can't run every game at 60 FPS because I got fucking bills and a house to heat. We are pointing out that the only reason some games run at 30 fps is because they are on lower powered systems which cost less. Rather than the $700 the PS3 cost back in the day and we all remember how awesome that went. | ||

Graphics are more subject to taste idk IDK - if they force it to run at 60 fps, but its really not smooth / sacrifices that I dont care about the 30 fps. Yeah its worse but i'd rather have they optimize shit WAIT I DONT CARE CAUSE IM NOT GONNA PLAY THAT GAME | ||

Graphics are more subject to taste idk 30 FPS is playable as long as it is consistent, 60 FPS is of course preferable but all this "mustard race 60 FPS le mustardrace goldenfaec.jpg" shit is just ridiculous. Some people just can't afford the hardware to run 60 FPS and game devs are getting lazy with optimization so we have to settle for 30 FPS. | ||

Not including in a monitor, KB+M and a SSD it gets pretty costly and that is usually considered a decent 1080p 60 FPS build. | ||

The issue with comparing prices is that the biggest diferent is the prices of games. | ||

If you already own a pc that's ~5 years old or newer, you can get a graphics card for 1080p60 for <200 | ||

I could probably build a pc better than a ps4 for around 400 bux yeah Like you can honestly slap a few years old card like an hd 6870 and an i5 and you'll preform Granted you can also spend more on a pc than a console because the games are also cheaper | ||

I remember the dark souls release on PC was fps locked among other silliness but luckily DSFix mod was released within a day that unlocked FPS and cleaned up some other PORT issues. | ||

You can buy them cheaper elsewhere of course. But a $1000 PC in NA would also cost more here. Just not as much as consoles because they are not only for recreational use or something. The point was that you don't need a GTX 760, cooling, etc. to outperform a console by a good margin. | ||
