Multiplat The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Tales of a legendary card playing, camomile drinking adventurer

Honestly I really liked 1 though!

I think I might play through it again in French for a learning experience It's an easier way to justify the time spent on video games.

I also really liked 1, and I'm probably the only one that's gonna recommend you finish it, especially if you already like it. Yes you get some of the story from playing 2, but there are some choices you can make that influence 2.

Really? 1 was huge, and 2 pretty disappointing. Story was not as good, little sidequests, combat more annoying, somehow looks like a quick response without going deep into details.


Well, they actually motion captured reenactment fighters for 1.


But having said that I am still pretty interested in no. 3.. Sounds good, main reason to be unsure is this open world thing: Sounds pretty nice on paper, but makes it difficult to have good story through the game as well...

I don't enjoy going back to 1 as much as 2. Much preferred the combat in 2 as it was more fluid and twitchy, except for when it got a bit easy late in the game after maxing alchemy tree. I think I preferred 1 when it was new more than 2 but imo it hasn't aged as well, which is why I recommended 2 to a new comer when there is only a month until 3. Two also gives the main back story of 1 which again would fill in someone new to witcher.

Not sure about the quote on the swordplay, I didn't say that.

Ok, messed that one up when working with multible quotes. Sorry.

Great hands on in this month's OPS Aus. Super pumped. Just went and looked up some confirmed trophies/achieves. There is definitely a dark mode one. Will be a brutal platinum unless resort to save back ups. I'll determine if I go that far after a 100% normal run through.

After watching Gamespots 3 part look into the game, I'm officially on the hype train. Game looks incredible.

I've been dabbling in Witcher 2 the last few days in preparation for next month. Gone back to try Roche's path again.

At least that path you don't have to sneak around the damn king's camp.

Another thing I've noticed is I've been getting more crashes than when I first played through it. I am using a controller this time around so maybe that contributes? I don't know, I don't think I'm patched to the latest version either (not Steam version).

 

[dwwaino]

By not Steam version do you mean it is the non enhanced version without that arena style intro tutorial and stuff? Because I think that original retail version was notorious for bugs which I think was part the reason they almost completely overhauled it.

Nah, it is the Enhanced Edition retail but I didn't install it through Steam. When I play I just click on the shortcut and there we go.

I heard about the franchise, never played it but it is all about change. Can not wait to play it.

The two main maps are absolutely massive. According to someone on Neogaf, they are individually bigger than Skyrim

 

[kangle4]

Los Santos map compared to Witcher 3.

Plus a new video with a decent amount of gameplay.

 

[dwwaino]

I've scored the week following the release off work, looks like I should have asked for more...

 

[pantskyle]

That is just massive.

Thanks mate.

Watched all I could of that angry Joe video. The game looks fantastic but there is only so much angry Joe I can handle.

I've taken a screenshot of that secret cave he mentions at the end and I'll check it out when I get the game.

 

[dwwaino]

Great idea. Didn't get that far into the video but I'll make sure to do the same.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

The Map is huge, I've been playing GTA V lately and the map in that is pretty damn big, but this is going to a whole new level.

When I get this my life as I know it will be over.

Pre-ordered the other day, I am not usually one to pre-order but I am just so hyped and also wanna show my support for CD Projekt. Didn't go for the collector's edition with the statue though, just went the Prima Guide edition from JB.
