Waldorf and Statler Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I can't wait to play this. Will make the PS4 purchase all the more worth it, alongside Dragon Age, Destiny, Watch Dogs, Infamous Second Son, and others. Sure most of those have a version in multiple platforms and sure the PC version will be superior, but I don't own a PC that can handle heavy games like these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 http://www.gog.com/thewitcher3/en Witcher 3 up for pre-order on GOG. If you pre-order if from them you get it DRM free (though they give everyone a DRM free copy anyway), warm feelings in your heart, access to a beta online board game, unspecific bonus content and if you've got the previous games on GOG (I bought one on disc and the other on steam but due to aforementioned "they give everyone the DRM free copy anyway", I'm a "loyal GOG customer") then you get a discount. In my case I get £11 off, which brings it down to £39, just shy of the normal console-game-at-launch price. Which is a fucking massive rip-off imo (even more so when it notes you're paying £10 more than US so they'll give you that in GOG money). So yeah if you're really into the beta for upcoming spin-off game and really really like owning things on GOG this might be for you. If not I'd strongly hold off and hope that no other retailer is honestly going to try charging £50 for this. I'm really hoping thier little calculator thing is just bust and tomorrow it'll all be like "whoops, fucked the code!" and it'll go down to a nice PC-like £30. I got Witcher 2, sans and discount and with a bunch of physical goodies, and digital stuff, for £25 from GAME, who aren't the cheapest on the block. So £50 for a digital copy you've got to make a back-up of yourself and no physical goodies is a bit extreme. I'm still looking forward to the game, but their pricing certainly pushes me miles away from going the GOG route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 And the trailer to boot. On top of the stuff above, it's also £50 on Steam, with similar deals if you've got the other Witchers on steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 This is probably a dumb question, but will they be doing anything with regards to Witcher 1/2 saved games? Will it be an entirely new story line (Wild Hunt aside), will your actions from the previous games have any impact on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well Witcher 1 files passed on to Witcher 2, with several choices in tact, and that was between two different engines, so I imagine that they'll be doing the continuing file stuff with Witcher 2 on to Witcher 3. There was some relatively decent sized choices you had to make (to the point the middle of the game is pretty different between plays), and I imagine the ending choice with...err I forget his name but the other witcher, is probably pretty relevant given the empire advancing and the latest trailer showing you with a group of witchers.

deanb Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 another gameplay trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 At this point it might be quite easy to skip on the game the amount they carry on recording before it's out. Given this is 35 minutes long, which for some RPGs might be nearly 5% of the total game, I've a feeling this is going to be a pretty large title.

danielpholt Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I've not watched any of these videos. I understand being excited for it, but I'd rather just enjoy it whilst playing the game. Same goes for trailers, I've almost stopped watching film and game trailers at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Okay, that was a pretty fucking cool opening video. Shame it's still many months to go until it actually comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 We should be were expecting to be playing it around now weren't we? The game's shaping up to be fantastic, I just hope people aren't expecting Polish Skyrim.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yeah I think it was due for now-ish, but got pushed back to February 2015. I think it's had a couple vague date moves, but the most recent moved it to a pretty solid day and month. Heh, just gone digging into the dates, I forgot when it was announced it wouldn't launch in Poland on Xbox One (since changed). Got what a fucking stupid policy that was. Also: "I used to be a plumber like you, until I took zloty to the knee". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 http://www.gog.com/news/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt_free_dlc_announcement Bunch of free DLC coming for the game. Mostly cosmetic stuff like armours and beards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 lol, I don't even meet the minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 My recent upgrades fall somewhere in the middle but my GPU doesn't even meet the minimum lol. Not too surprising, I knew it wasn't likely to last me very long. AC Unity is similar, it runs but I'm a GPU upgrade short of it being decently playable. It's the next major upgrade I need to make, I'm just not sure when I'll be able to afford it. Honestly, as long as I can run The Phantom Pain I'll be fine for now. Ideally, Arkham Knight too. But at least TPP is cross-gen and Ground Zeroes was crazy optimized so I should be good. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 To be fair I think I failed with the requirements for Witcher 2 and it still looked pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 My card is a Radeon HD 6970, so it's only a single "gen" too old. In recent years I've learned not to take specs at face value, so I'll still torrent the game to give it a test run. If it's reasonably playable I'll probably just say fuck it and buy it anyway.

deanb Posted January 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yeah it's a GOG game, so easy enough to give a trial spin. Shame it's so large, would be nice to have a short frame rate test tool instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the situation I'm in on this one. I'm expecting to upgrade due to this and Evolve (which I already know I don't run well) but we'll see how the timing actually works out.
