Cdprojekt red could learn from these guys

[@popcrnshower]

Just Cause 3 had a ridiculous amount of bugs, glitches and frame rate issues that were only solved by using a high-end PC...CD Projekt RED is just fine

[@SazLowify]

What do you mean? Witcher had amazing animations.

[@SirHardMetal]

Keyword is responsive, Witcher got some input delay that made the game impossible for me to enjoy

Cdprojekt red could learn from these guys...For cyberpunk...cyberpunk's locomotion is trash

I prefer the Overgrowth talk about character movement, it was funnier in my opinion. But this talk is very interesting anyways.

All those fancy animation solutions and yet you guys captured the video with interlacing..... SMH. :)
