Also in case anybody was wondering I can fully confirm: you can't kill or attack kids.

EDIT: You also cant punch cows but you can stab them. Maybe you can punch them if you de-equip everything.

Pre-order canceled.

 

[Frillen]

How do you re-equip the crossbow? I have both the crossbow and bolts in the slots but I can't use it battle somehow.

The real question is.. can you eat them?

Who has been able to download the 1.02 patch on PS4? Apparently it's out but it is not downloading for me.

There is a 1.02 patch already? Confirmed?

too late to cancel my pre-order.
crap.

I believe the 1.0.1 patch was for review copies or something.

The new patch is getting released to the servers at game launch.

The Witcher 3's day one patch is 482MB on PS4, 588MB on Xbox One Improves performance, stability, AI and quests.

 

[MrS]

Yes I pre-ordered last week, delivered this morning.

Good to hear, hopefully it'll be waiting for me when I get home from work. Can't wait to try it out!

Glad i am skipping this until I upgrade my GPU.

 

[dragonelite]

I'm really considering to go to bed early and wake up at 3:30~04:00 to grab some hours of gametime before heading to work.

 

[bombshell]

It's a very small patch. Only for cross region compatibility of DLC, nothing performance related.

No, that patch has been out since Wednesday and it was bigger than the one review copies had.

Good. Geralt's not the type to wantonly attack harmless children anyway (now, possessed demon children, that's likely a different matter).

 

[KorrZ]

So happy that this is releasing at 7 PM tonight...I thought I was going to have to wait until after work all day tomorrow

 

[TraBuch]

How's the card game?

 

[maximum360]

Best Buy lied. Delivery was scheduled for today at first but now it's set for Tuesday.

Can you lure monsters into towns?

Early countdown was real.

Does this mean digital versions of this on X1/PS4 unlock at like 7pm EST?

 

[EatChildren]

Didn't try, but most monsters seemed apprehensive about wandering out of their area. Could have been drowners not wanting to stray from water.

A bandit chased me a good distance though.

yes-been confirmed for a while now

Yep, that is about the time I usually wind down and get ready to play. The timing is perfect.

 

[OnionPowder]

I am so ready for this game.

Pre-order on Steam and $800 worth of PC upgrades just for this release.

 

[ViciousDS]

anyone know how the recap is in the game? I never played the first two and don't want to be lost.Mass Effect 2 on PS3 with the dark horse comic was one of the coolest implementations if a recap that I think I've seen.

As long as they aren't brats and have a lot of dialog. getting chills remembering that little girl in W2 "deth 2 d skwurls" RIP my ears if anything as annoying as that voice is in.

 

[Vanagandar]

Finally an OT! I was waiting since Friday, the day I had the game, to ask fellow Gaffers owning the game same questions.

So, does anyone know a place where I can get some smaragd dust?

Spoiler

In the hideout where the recipes were, there was only one portion located, but I need a second one to build the other sword

I didnt even found dust there. But i found out that loot is randomized when you reload a save so.

Sad PANDA here

I got a smaragd jewel but i dont want to break it down ;(

 

[IAmRandom31]

Game is shipping from Gamefly! Woot!

Will get it Thursday - Friday. I had no interest in this game but hey, a RPG is a RPG.

Will have both FFX/X-II Remaster and Witcher 3. Awesome. I'm proud of ya Gamefly.

And thus the beta for Fable is still the greatest RPG never made.

 

[valkyre]

thread is alive and amazing, I checked the retrospective videos but I was wondering if there is a .doc / .pdf file that has detailed information about the story so far in these series, like there was one for Dragon Age.

Would appreciate if there is something similar.

I see your avatar all the time and always want to make some kind of pun related to Death Grips, but I'm never clever enough to think of something.

Oh that sucks :/

Wonder is Sony Australia messed up somewhere...

My Shopto order arrived

 

[leng jai]

Still no key from GMG. This stinks.

Yeah, it was supposed to be a worldwide unlock at the same time everywhere, but it seems like SCEE has messed up and just put midnight as unlock time for both AU and EU.

 

[Echelon079]

Going to pick up my copy here in a few. Yay!just can't decide if I want PS4 or PC for this computer I just scored off Craigslist.

 

[Hans.Gruber]

According to that white little triangle on the top right it seems like the Day 1 patch has already been downloaded. Well done! We can start right away!

aaaaaaaand GOAT

PC code hasn't been sent out to anyone really. Even youtubers/streamers who got it early were only getting X1 and PS4 code. CDPR have kept PC very tightly guarded for the most part.

That and GMG suck at giving out keys early most times

 

[erawsd]

New Nvidia trailer showing off some new creatures designs. Hairworks looks so fuckin good... so pissed I don't have a rig that can handle it.

So the best thing to do when we encounter these is to run away? Roger.

Who needs the official Prima guide with tips like this. #Intel.

 

[Zeliard]

Did combat take any cues from the rebalance mod?

 

[Mendrox]

How do you re-equip the crossbow? I have both the crossbow and bolts in the slots but I can't use it battle somehow.

Just choose it from the quick access menu.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Some of the sidequests are glitchy.

Anybody had one where you have to save a guy locked in a cage, except he stands outside the cage and there's no key to be found on the whole little isle he's on...?

What is wrong with you?!?

Lol.

Reminds me of when I got Skyrim. My son started playing and he spend like 5 days just running around electrcuting foxes.

 

[Justinh]

My Xbox One copy is "out for delivery," that's nice, but I'm not sure if I'll actually play it (I really only got it for the physical manual, map, and other stuff like the preorder bonus hardcover comic). Maybe just wait for my GoG copy to unlock.

Nice OT, OP.


edit: haha, who the fuck am I kidding?

Spoiler

(whom? whatever...)

installing now

Friend of mine w/ ~500k got his PC review code yesterday, seems like they're a bit easier to get hold of in NA than elsewhere atm though.
