yup that is dumb, i think they are fixing itLock picking mechanics really hold the game back. It's "basically" required in a lot of key quests, yet it's nearly impossible even on easy locks, both with gamepad & MK.
He has some fair points in there for sure but he'd be better off not entertaining the pitchfork wielding masses. You simply can't win when engaging either side of the debate. Arthur Gies is such an ignorant, pretentious cunt, too.
He got in "trouble" for wearing a Burzum shirt at a games conference. I own the vinyl for the album of said shirt he wore so we're already kindred spirits. He also wrote some fantastic stories in Mafia 1 and 2 so the man is very talented.
Got 4 days off this week so I'm pretty stoked to binge this game.
btw the game runs pretty good for me, all on ultra settings and the lowest i get is 70 fps (gtx1080)

People have been complaining about this, and the bow mechanics? I'm good at either at them, the lock picks are easy once you realize the you have to alternate both joysticks at the same time, and the bow works well if you shoot only a second after you draw.
Does upping your stats on lock picking make a big difference? Got the tutorial, the sweet spot search while having to turn while being unable to stop halfway through, but the margin of error being so small even on very easy locks makes it a unnecessary headache. Picks being expensive doesn't help. I'm sure it's a timing thing, as well.
You can move as slowly as you want, you aren't being timed (unless a dog, or someone is coming for you). I have zero points in it.
My tip would be push the left analog upwards, and hold it there until you are ready to rotate it counter clockwise, with your right analog, thumb around until you find the dead center of the orange sweet spot, move around it a couple times, like circle it to see it's size, and also create a reference point to where it is on the lock, so as you turn it with the left analog, you can match your location with the right analog (near corner, center, etc. some are harder than others).
Not sure if that makes sense, but, after a couple of tries I've gotten good at it. Just take it slow, when it starts to shake intensely, don't worry or panic, just keep moving your left analog, and keep that right analog centering the pick.
its staying around 70, granted i havent had much time playing itEven at 1080p you'll dip into the 40's with your rig. I play at 4k, and alternate down to 2k if I have to. 30 fps is about as reliable as I can hope.

Did I read it wrong, or did that fucking idiot claim the dev was racist, then use Witcher - a game with griffins and magic unicorns as a reference?The developer behind this game is easily a lvl 99 ascended shitlord,

I'm playing at 1080p,
i7 7700k
1070
32gb 3000mhz ram
and I haven't had it dip under 60. Everything maxed out. I imagine it'd be a drain on resources at 1440p and 4k. There is also a pinned discussion on steam if you have 16gb or under ram you can edit your start up settings for the game to get it to allocate ram properly.
Buy me one and I'll let you knowi wonder how a 1080Ti will do 4k

I can already tell this game is worth waiting on. Seems like it will continue to get better with time and future patches/mods/dlc. I am about finished with my first run on Witcher 3 so I'll be in need of filling that gap soon though.
