Good Evening Patrons :)
This post is just for you guys, it's kind of my feelings on editing Witcher, playing it over 3 days but won't give anything away (no spoilers)
I have never spent so much time on a game review as I have with Witcher 3. I had all the commentary edited yesterday and then deleted it all and had another 6 hours in the game, just to make sure I had experienced it enough to make an unbiased review.
I don't like ranting, I certainly don't do this channel to rant, I do it to try and give a totally unbiased honest opinion of a game in the hope that I save a few of you some hard earned cash. You see, we are surrounded with sell out's, huge PR machines churning out bullshit that is designed to take your money. I would estimate more than half the reviewers out there are just programmed to give AAA material a high score if the hype is high as they are scared to lose readers or viewers should they dis a game that has a big "fan boy" following.
I have scrapped 4 reviews of this game, never have I had to do that before, I was just not happy, they were around 25mins long and so I had to cut them deep. Today around 2:00pm I managed to cut one final review to 17mins and that is the one you will see (very soon). I rendered it off at 1080p 60fps and uploaded it around 7pm. It finally processed around 7:30pm and looked bloody dreadful :S
I quickly went into my editor and did a shit load of render tests as it soon became apparent that it was my export settings that were wrong. I used the same as usual but for some reason shadowplay (which I am very new too) does not like them. I eventually sorted it by upping the datarate to Blu-ray quality (18000) but realised this would make a 4 hour export as I use multipass. I quickly did a 7 second export using single pass of me riding a horse, uploaded it and it looks fine. I have set the whole thing away again rendering and it's currently at 31% with 35mins to go, so in around 1 hour it should be live on WAB.
I am really looking forward to the feedback from this video good and bad, it's controversial as can be expected from a console port but I am very interested to see how people react to the way I dissected this game, no doubt a lot will be angry ;)
Anyway I hope you enjoy it regardless of weather you agree with me or not.

I 100% agree with you on the controls, it felt really weird from the start. It feels like the character is going too fast because it can't turn around standind still, it just walks a bit when you turn in another direction. It's really hard to position yourself in front of things as a result and just feels really clunky. I enjoyed the rest of the game but I can't play like this. The bugs of the horse stopping at the slightest obstacle but can follow the road automatically is weird to me, and the combat system is just a copy of assassin's creed with the weird targeting system of dark souls. I just don't feel like I have control over what I do.
Hello Mack.. thank you for the review on Witcher 3. I'm a huge fan of TES and Chivalry so... witcher 3 seems a lot like assassins creed to me. I wonder why you didn't compare to it when criticizing the game :) Dont let all the hate from console kids get to you. You made me save a lot of money today ;)
