| So reviews have already begun to pop out around the internet: http://www.lazygamer.net/review/review-round-up-review/the-witcher-3-review-round-up/ http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/05/12/the-witcher-3-the-wild-hunt-review http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/video-game-reviews/11599371/The-Witcher-3-Wild-Hunt-review-phenomenally-dense.html http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-review/1900-6416135/ And there are less than 10 days left until the release date. So who's anxiously waiting for it? Who's going to binge-play? You hyped? |
| Stop gaming and go make some music instead! |
 |
| I'm not hyped at all, the only games that survive the ridiculous amount of hype that one is getting are made my Bethesda or From Software. The Witcher isn't made by them. |
 |
| ^ Filthy casual Yes, I'm hyped. I still want to play the first Witcher before trekking this one though. |
 |
| It's not about being casual its the truth, those are the ONLY companies that are capable of making games that live up to their hype. And From Software who make the Souls series and Bloodborne is hardly casual, |

|
| Never played the any of them before but I have the game preordered for Ps4 and set to ship/arrive on release day. The only thing I know about the game is there's a lot of sex. |
| Idk why it fucking matters. Look at those game-play trailers, the game looks fucking amazing. Unlike fucking Skyrim the combat actually looks fun and gratifying. And yeah, Souls series is no longer considered niche. Might have been the case when Demon's Souls was the only entry to the franchise, but now after the success of Dark Sous and Bloodborne; it's mainstream as fuck. Doesn't mean they're bad though. They're still great games, but sorry man, they're no longer considered to be niche titles. Now if we're talking about From Soft's mecha titles like Armored Core, Another Century's Episode, and rpgs like Enchanted Arms then yes; they are niche titles. |

Are you baiting people? I like From Software, but it's kinda hard to get hyped when they keep making the same game all over again. They are no different than Call of Duty and Assassins Creed at this point, with the only difference being that From games are good. You're still playing the same game all over again though. On the other hand, Bethesda was and always will be shit. Their games are shit on release and depend on the modding community to even be playable. At least Fallout 3/New Vegas somewhat work vanilla, but Oblivion/Skyrim are garbage undmodded. People only got hyped and enjoy Skyrim because it's "omgepic". How can someone even get hyped for Bethesda games when they are shitting all over liked franchises. Skyrim doesn't even pass as an RPG. You seem like the kind of people that approve of Goat Simulator and Five Nights at Freddy's. |

I never said Skyrim was an amazing game but they polish it enough that it survives the heavy marketing and uber hype people give it, plus the Elder Scrolls title also helps.. If the Witcher 3 isn't perfect it will fail because people invested in a new IP. Let's be honest most people never even HEARD of The Witcher before 3. In fact they even considered taking the 3 out of the title to not scare people of because they know not many people who own current gen consoles played 1 and 2. |

Nowadays everybody is into Skyrim purely because of modded graphics, but god knows how it got so popular on consoles as well. At least on PC you have game changing mods like Frostfall, Wet and Cold and Requiem, which change the game a bit. But not even the mods could save the game for me. The core of Skyrim is just too awful to be fixed. Majority of the game being boring fetch quests that take you to linear and repetitive dungeons; ability to become everything, a thief, mage and fighter at the same time; casual gameplay that can't be even fixed by mods (increasing the difficulty just makes you deal less damage and take more damage) etc. Democracy said: I never said Skyrim was an amazing game but they polish it enough that it survives the heavy marketing and uber hype people give it, plus the Elder Scrolls title also helps..

The game was never polished by Bethesda. While still being full of bugs, it was the fans that fixed most of the bugs. Kinda says a lot about a company if players have to fix bugs and release content. Bethesda doesn't even have to try and fans will eat their shit up because hey, they can just mod in stuff they want. Not sure where you are living, but Witcher 2 is pretty popular, heard about it a lot. Haven't heard about the franchise before 2, but everyone was hyped about Witcher 3 since day one of announcement. |

Democracy said: Uh what. There was just a sale on the Witcher 2 earlier and people are playing it now. Fuck, I have a friend playing the Witcher 2 now.

| Fuck CDPR. http://www.gamepressure.com/e.asp?ID=51 Platform unification exists – we have a single build, which is distributed to each one of them. The game is the same; the draw distance is the same. Minor differences result from the fact that the GPU has different parameters on different consoles, which can result in, e.g., the changes in color temperatures. Yes, there is only one version, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to make the game in time. We would have to take it all apart, and then build it and test it on three different platforms at the same time, which is impossible to do. Therefore, we have one common basis, and then transfer it to other platforms.

Man that must mean there are TONS of people in the world playing it! It's definitely a thing! Nuns Attack was also on sale last week, so by that logic that game is also extremely popular. Buggy or not it's still one the most successful western rpg multiplataform games. The Witcher having a huge hype train and a sale of the previous game hardly puts in in the same league as other series. I hope it's successful because we need more open world rpgs like it but the people who havent bought a PS4 or XBONE because there are no decent rpgs to play on them besides Bloodborne wont buy a whole new console just to play the Witcher. They would however buy it to play the next Fallout. |

Ezekiel said: Fuck CDPR. So the downgrade is real? I hope they at least lowered the system requirements in that case (which probably won't happen but oh well). |

|
| Lol at the pleb saying Bethesda games live up to the hype. Bethesda games are mediocre asf only with good with mods. |
| I went out of my way to look for the game sales to shut you up Doctor Dark Souls 1: 2.37 million (no digital version) Dark Souls 2: 2.50 million not counting the PS4 re-release (not counting digital sales) The Witcher 1: 2 million original and enhanced version(re-release) combined The Witcher 2: 1.7 million I don't trust these numbers at all since companies make them up all the time but if the Souls Series sells more copies or is about even in sales with the Witcher franchise no way can it stand up in sales against Fallout or Elder Scrolls. You can call the Bethesda games mediocre but they are still the most successful open world western rpg series. Whether you like the vanilla version of the game or not is irrelevant. They still get higher reviews and higher sales. I don't NOT like The Witcher but it's not the ridiculous masterpiece god-sent franchise people all of a sudden believe it is. |

| I plan to wait until it goes on sale. I never buy games for 40 dollars plus. Anyway I have the first two games and I think they are great, however, I have so many games that I haven't played yet. Steam has a way of making you spend money on games you aren't really excited to play. The double edged sword of cheap games. DAMN YOU SUMMER SALE!!!! Oh and I still have to do more playthroughs on the 1st and 2nd Witcher. Because I only beat them siding with the elves. Now I have to neutral and then with the human sided one. |

| By what I read from reviews, this one still has thousands of fetch quests, the combat still sucks and there is also blatant padding to the story... Well, I wasn't really going to buy this, but this killed any remaining chances. Hope fans enjoy it. |

I don't NOT like The Witcher but it's not the ridiculous masterpiece god-sent franchise people all of a sudden believe it is. Cool story bruh but that's common sense shit that the gaming board has already gone through plenty of times. Either way sales /=/ quality, so I really have no idea why you brought this up. You seem buttmad about the Witcher franchise getting hype though. Apply some stool softener, I recommend it as a Doctor.Anyways: The Witcher (PC): 370,000~ copies. Dark Souls (PC): 70,000~ copies The Witcher 2 (PC): 890,000~ copies The Witcher 2 (360): 820,000~ copies Dark Souls 2 (PC): 120,000~ copies Dark Souls 2 (360): 550,000~ copies Source: http://www.vgchartz.com/ (not even a good source but even then) Also: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-10-25-cd-projekt-red-announces-6-million-the-witcher-sales ^ This was 2013 http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/12/dark-souls-claims-nearly-2-4-million-sales-worldwide/ ^ This was 2013 as well, 6 months earlier but still; there's no way Dark Souls would rack up over 4 million sales after an initial release date and within a short timespan of 6 months. Also: Narmy said: If high reviews and sales equalled high quality, then Call of Duty would be the greatest game series ever made, lol. |

| I played a few hours of the first, but got bored and quit. Maybe it's just not my game or I just hadn't reached the good parts. Should I try the game again, skip it and play the second, or just let them collect dust in my Steam library (only cost me a few bucks anyways)? |
| Do you mind not chaning the thread into a Bethesda/From shitstorm? Hell I loved the original Witcher and I loved Skyrim, had tons of fun in both games and I don't see why do you have to be so bitchy about some fucked up superiority of one title over the other. No - it's not objective discussion. It's kids throwing stuff at each other. As for the downgrade - it really doesn't matter to me since I always go for the PS4 version if possible. Less hassle and I preffer a pad anyway (yes - you can hook up a pad to a PC but that's not really the point). But seriously - do you really only care about the graphics? I'm most inteersted in the rich world full of mythology and interesting characters, the tension between races and political disturbances. And of course Ciri - I love Ciri. I love that shit. And my final exam (in a presentation form called "matura" in Poland) was about The Witcher - series of books by A. Sapkowski. And it just happened that the first Witcher game was released around that time so I could actually include some of the stuff from the game into my exams - how cool is that. Anyway - I was trying to avoid the hype and I wasn't even watching any trailers until yesterday and yeah - now I'm super hyped. Should I try the game again, skip it and play the second, or just let them collect dust in my Steam library (only cost me a few bucks anyways)? You might have been bored because you weren't in the mood or went into it with wrong expectations. You can try it again - it's not like you're losing anything by doing that. Worse comes - you'll just shelf it. If high reviews and sales equalled high quality, then Call of Duty would be the greatest game series ever made, lol. I don't usually say this since if it's not my pair of shoes I say "just let the people who enjoy it be" but in this case they should really fuckin' stop making them. It has gotten ridiculous. Gator said: I had to force myself through Wither 1 and I can't even play Witcher 2 for more than one hours without getting annoyed. So I'm not really hyped and probably won't play it ._. I fail to understand why would you force yourself to play something. Aren't games supposed to be fun? |

GatorMay 13, 2015 1:13 AM
| I hope they improve the combat in this game. I loved the first two Witcher titles, but the combat system is incredibly awkward and just plain frustrating at times. The Witcher 2 improved somewhat, but it still wasn't particularly good. Aside from the combat, I love just about everything else about the series (minus the plethora of fetch quests in the first game). |

 |
| Yes I'm really hyped for this one the gameplay trailers look amazing. Also you can have sex on top of a unicorn. Who wouldn't want to do that? |
| I'm just really worried for the PC system requirements ,hopefully I can get it to work somewhat decently on a 560Ti. |
| my pc can't handle this beast ; ; |

Werchiel said: Yes. I don't even play video games. I just look at them on YouTubeBut seriously - do you really only care about the graphics? What kind of a question is that? Of course I care about the whole package, but graphics are an important part of that. The old graphics matched the realistic tone of the Witcher story. It looks more like a cartoon now. An oversaturated, blurry cartoon.   All because the PC market, which made them a success, wasn't good enough for them. |
EzekielMay 13, 2015 7:04 PM
| Rofl Lmao This Whole thread is a joke No TC, i'm not hyped. You only should be hyped for a game that you know the developers/series. Never played the witcher, only heard bad things about witcher 1 and 2, not interested. Maybe one day if it gets positive remarks by everybody |

The old graphics matched the realistic tone of the Witcher story. It looks more like a cartoon now. An oversaturated, blurry cartoon. I was just refering to the downgrade for pc rather than the entire thing. But even so - graphics is the least significant part of the game for me. To The Moon is a good example of that - awesome story and beautiful music but since it was made in RPGmaker - the graphics = shit. And if it had a better graphics it would not make the game any better than it already is. So yea - I probably wouldn't even be able to tell which current-gen game has awesome graphics and which one is average. I mean I can see when a texture is terrible or when a resolution is fucked but I pay so little attention to me I probably wouldn't even remember it afterwards. Music is way more effective for my personal immersion. And honestly I like it that way since I know some people that are so enthralled by next-gen graphics that they can't even pick up older games. It is true that more gritty/darker graphics would fit the game better but I'll probably get used to what I get fast and won't let it take away from the rest of the experience. insan3Inquisitor said: PrimeX said: hey I bet you'll change your username to insanewitcher after you're done with the game :D Nah, I'll probably do it before then. I take it you liked DA: Inquisiton then. |
