The Witcher 3 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Commenting Geralt is idiotic how can anyone deny that?

It's not in the sense that it informs the player of what he's actually examining or seeing, which happens in one way or another in every RPG or adventure game ever that has some kind of a "look" or "examine" action. The action itself is necessary because the game needs some way of telling whether the player has spotted something or not, as there's no keyword system in place and making the right solution just pop up in dialogue regardless of the player's actions would be even worse. It is idiotic in the sense that Geralt instantly proceeds to make deductions based on the evidence and essentially solves the quest himself instead of letting the player form the solution in some way.

Not sure if this was posted already?

Purchased TWitcher 3 for $22 on ebay. Gog key cleared out. Paid less than half of what I was expecting.

 

[polo]

How does that work? I've seen some of those at 22 or 24u$d, which is like half the GOG price.

 

[Ivan]

I don't know. I think 2 things: they don't mention the code was derived from a gpu purchase and 2: it's a Gog key.

Basically you get a code to claim it on nvidia and then you lock the account to your gog account. Done.

 

[MaskedMan]

Unless they changed it recently the Gog price is 16$ in Russia/Ukraine if you have twitcher 1 and 2.

Ditto. The link someone posted before, that I went on and tried (for the team!), works! It will get you a GOG key (my purchase was for a geforce coupon code).

Sweet.

 

[J_C]

I also bought one key from ebay, it speared me 20%. Activated it on GOG, everything went smooth. Nice!

Edit: And you can download the extras right now. They look great.

Extremely praising preview from the German Gamestar, whose writer could play the complete game for two days. ("Among the best in my 33 years of gaming, we cried in the end"). Apparently, it's not three separate areas now, but only two (the whole continent and the isles). Regarding the aforementioned box quest: You could also follow the thief to the rebel camp. You can disable quest markers and even all hud elements, difficulty settings affect the mob AI, not the mob hit points. C&C wherever you go.

 

[Doktor Best]

yeah the journalist really has a raging hard-on the whole preview long, also to mention:

-no hp bloat on higher difficulties, enemies deal more damage, have better AI (dodge better and more often) but take the same hits like in lower difficulties
-the quest everyone here was ranting about with the box you should retrieve, you can also follow the guy with some distance and he will lead you to his camp for example
-enemy combat behaviour really diversive and plausible

 

[Tytus]

Thank you Codex. Just bought the Ebay version and already redeemed it to GoG. Cheaper than I would have expected.

Fist fighting isn't QTE anymore. And it's possible to fist-fight against many oponents at once, and move around while doing it.
