These guys had almost secured the Day 1 buy from me until this announcement, thanks to their reputation with The Witcher. Now I'll wait for videos and reviews, and maybe, just maybe, will grab it when it's very cheap.
If it's for inmersion, in The Witcher 3 I just loved and enjoyed walking slowly towards my next objective, toying with the camera, at the pace and speed I thought Geralt would do in his day to day life. Even if the controls were clunky, the animation was great and used these sections to admire the view, my character, my armor, my gear, his swords at the back, give me time to investigate odd places, etc. If I wanted to go faster, I would call Roach and ride at a realistic speed, instead of just running wildly like I would do in GTA V, for example, where it's super easy to get a car or climb anything. If I needed to run I would run, but I would never ride my horse at a stupid speed inside a City even if I could, because I was totally inmersed and wanted to act just like a real person would do in that world. That was just an awesome inmersion level.
Now that will be gone and instead we'll get tunnel vision with a floating, rectangular, single eye? No, thanks.
@attila1155: Yeahh, it kinda kills inmersion, as this series in particular rely quite a bit in History. I mean, they go the extra mile to recreate many historical places, events and societies. We'll see.
Not interesting. The main features of the series aren't base building, first person shooting and online multiplayer, which is what this is all about; they were role playing, exploring and a focus on main story with multiple sidequests, at least for me. Maybe I'll check the beta.
I didn't hate the building aspect of 4, I hated the fact that it replaced true expansions, which used to be great with Bethesda.
@hardcoregamer1: Exactly. Adding multiplayer would just increase the production cost, and am not really sure if it would attract enought players to justify the investment.
They could use that money on DLC to make it as great as The Witcher's, or just save it. Hell, even a multiplayer anouncement would keep me away from a day one buy and make me wait for reviews and more info about it. Don't want a Mass Effect 3 or a GTA V stunt on this.
