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

Did they fix the cat's eye potion? Dungeons were difficult to explore cause it was all orange and frankly looked terrible.

 

[kaizoku]

Are they going to put out more CE for sale?


How much was it selling for?

 

[Gerrard]

The potato version was something ridiculous like 350zł I think, because of that figure, and it sold out in one day on PC and PS4.

 

[Sam Ecorners]

My amazon preorder says $150

At least some info on skills, not a fan of "limited" skill usage(eventhough they are passive) which became quite popular thanks to fucking consoles.

There are four or five trees

So how drunk was this guy that can't remember?

After unlocking skills, they must be activated. This is done by placing them in a separate tree, which contains a limited number of slots. Activated skills affect Geralt’s fighting style, and activating a set of skills from the same category will increase its overall effects. It adds another layer to preparations and tactical planning, as players have to choose an appropriate set of active skills depending on what kind of opponent you are going to face).

This sounds retarded.

How hard can that be to remember...
I also concur on the second part.

 

[undecaf]

Wasn't it already stated somewhere that there will be four skill trees (combat, alchemy, signs, general)?

 

[WhiteGuts]

We'll see how it works out but I'm totally in favor of some flexibility in how to approach combat, like TW1 with the different stances (Strong/Fast/Group).

Variety of gameplay is an extremly important aspect in a 50/100h game.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Exclusive, 70 minutes of video interview with 3 Hungarian colleagues of the Witcher 3's Developer Team - Answers for the fan questions about the Witcher 3 in the CD Projekt RED studio, Warsaw, Poland (Recorded on 8th of January, 2015) -With English subtitle. - via reddit.

From a dev on their official forum :

Q: Another cup of coffee?
A: Yes, please.
Q: Is it good?
A: It's a damn fine cup of coffee.
Q: Explain the skills and armors then.
A: Okay. Activated skills determine tactics. You choose (activate) some of them and you have resources to manage (stamina and adrenaline), so behaviour in combat depends on skill choices. In other words, to use your build properly, you cast signs, parry, dodge and hit with you sword more or less frequently. Some skills grant additional signs modes or special blows.

There are 3 types of armor elements: light, medium and heavy. Protection they grant is less important than synergy with combat tactics they are designed for. For example heavy armor favors agressive swordfighting. But you can mix armor elements to balance bonuses they offer.

If you like to twieak and customize, you'll find it attractive, I think.

Cut the guy some slack, he is Polish after all...

Or it could be that other things have been much more important for him, then to memorize the correct amount of different skill trees. And form what i have read he was quite acquainted with the character / skill / fighting system.

 

[Outlander]

Ok...

Interview with the senior gameplay designer:

 

[Darkzone]

This news and interviews sound like this poland fan:

And if i had no bigos yet, i wouldn't be so fat.....
...god does not live in france, after all god was a pole...

With the obligatory Polska t-shirt.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

The only reason I can see for someone to be a fan of Poland is food, nothing else.

What about the girls?

You should read form Steffen Möller 'Polska da się lubić'. As a pole your perspective is limited towards your own country. Poland is always loved from the distance, not from inside. Chopin and Mickiewicz can verify this.

What about them? The same as anywhere else in europe, maybe a bit more inclined to suck black/latino/arabian dick because "muh exotic boyfriend "

Not sure if butthurt or edgy (it's irrelevant though).

Warning: some of these are full of decline and just your typical gamejourno hackjobs, including PlayStation Lifestyle mistyping a certain game's title as Boulder's Gate or Shacknews referring to Geralt's horse as 'he' (Roach has always been a mare), but they should feed your inner hype if you are waiting for the game as eagerly as I am (J_C).

EDIT: interesting quote:

Will there be a chance to disable hints?

Yes, and then embark on a journey of a classic RPG-like adventurer. No one can accuse us of dumbing down the game. We’ve simply focused on making the plot, the world and the mechanics clear. We explain everything from the start, and every single character is introduced with a particular plotline. To be honest, the plot starts to unwind faster later one, after we’ve finished introducing everything in the beginning.

No one (besides the Codex of course) can accuse us of dumbing down the game.
