The Witcher 3 GOTY Edition

[ERYFKRAD]

I don't like large downloads and avoid them whenever I can.

CD is probably gonna just have a download link, you know.

CD Projekt believes in DRM free games, and if all they were offering was a GOG key, then they wouldn't even bother printing boxes.

 

[Gerrard]

The game is already on 4 (I assume all double layer) DVDs, that's going to be at least 4 more.

 

[HoboForEternity]

There's a leak with a screenshot of a map from the upcoming new expansion DLC.

Spoiler

Wait, isn't Blood and Wine supposed to be the last expansion?

They did print boxes for the expansions and didn't even put a disk inside. Just a GOG code.

I love that. Great way to troll the disc fags.

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Oh... Fooled me.

All the hearts representing prostitutes gave it away.

Expansions by themselves aren't worth disc printing.

Of course I'm waiting for post-release confirmation. If it's really just the Witcher 3 discs and DLC codes, then yeah, I'm just going to get the discounted original.

The only point of those physical boxes were the Gwent cards, they explicitly said all you get is a code.

[Bohrain]

I hope they'll do a game in the future in the same setting with more of a blank slate protagonist.

[Jack Of Owls]

I'm currently playing The Witcher 3 + all expansions + all DLC so I don't see any reason to get the GOTY edition unless you boys and girls can talk me into it. I'm really enjoying this, btw. Sometimes I just like roaming around and coming across interesting new areas where I find useful (but never overpowered) loot. One thing I miss that I'm use to in good RPGs is the option to play a total evil shit. The worst thing you can do in this game - at least up to the level I'm currently at (20) - is to kill a serial killer as he pleads for his life, though I did kill Kiera because- well, I simply didn't like her looks and jumped at the opportunity to get rid of her before I ended up saddled with her as a mate due to some cruel & terrible C&C. I really want Yennefer, or Triss, or BOTH...preferably at the same time, but not that old bag Kiera trapped in a young woman's body. However, I do appreciate that, while you can't play evil, you can play asshole...which I generally do. There's something almost satisfying in telling the MILF at the theater she owns that wants to play the lead in the play that Priscilla is younger and more beautiful and will be the bigger crowdpleaser. But assholio role-playing is never a good substitute to taking a saber to an entire town of innocents if the mood so takes you.

Is there a single reason to get or upgrade to "GOTY" and trudge through this game for the second time?
