Excellent news. For those that haven't read the books yet....they are fantastic and complement the game material (as well as theoretically being a pre cursor).

 

[ironcreed]

I'm still debating getting this digitally or physical disc. Especially since on PSN it is discounted and I won't incur sale tax.

Any reason not to go digital guys?

That deal on PSN is what I went for. It's the best deal going for the console versions that I have seen.

 

[Daingurse]

Excellent, soooon. The wait for this has been absolutely brutal.

"Once we were many. Now we are few. Hunters and killers of the worlds filth. Witchers, the ultimate killing machine. Among us there was a legend. The one they call Geralt of Rivia, The White Wolf."

IT'S ALMOST TIME! GERALT IS RETURNING!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Its weird that the deal is only on PS4 since Microsoft has the marketing deal with em.

 

[Alebrije]

Ended Bloodborne this week and ready for W3 , peorder the game since the 1st day it was available.

And then after W3 will play DS2 remaster.

What a great year!!!!!

Yea I feel like my hand is about to be forced. I have $50+ in Amazon credit so I'll either buy it through Amazon or buy PSN cards on Amazon to buy it on PSN.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

The HYPE IS REAL.

Wonder if the extra month means that copies are going to go out into the wild early next month.

 

[ironcreed]

What makes it even better is that it is going to be the best version of the two. I'll take it.

 

[mgs2master2]

Obligatory

Loll


I just finished paying off my preorder yesterday.

Now the wait begins

 

[Vincent Grayson]

has any game ever done a reverse-delay where they release the game earlier than intended?

Yeah, it happens sometimes. FFX came out about a week early, IIRC.

I'd love it if this did, since the 12th is my birthday and I'll have the day off.

 

[Dsyndrome]

This keeps reminding me I need to hurry and finish Bloodborne, PoE, and Witcher 2 so I can play next month. Can't wait!

 

[Coins]

Ugh. Can someone freeze me for a month?

 

[Digital-Hero]

This keeps reminding me I need to hurry and finish Bloodborne, PoE, and Witcher 2 so I can play next month. Can't wait!

I'm frantically trying to finish Bloodborne and then DSII: SoFS before W3.

 

[Cave Johnson]

Hope this translates to early review embargoes.

 

[Facism]

got this game cheap as shit 8 months ago.

Praying my system can play it decently at some level that doesn't look like smeared ass

 

[Tovarisc]

Probably. Strange that it is only 25 GB, versus the 50 GB for those of us who will be downloading the PS4 version.

Well, it has been reported to be that big.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/02/02/the-witcher-3-reportedly-has-50gb-install-on-ps4

I guess we will see soon enough. Hell, I hope it is a smaller size.

PSN site most likely isn't up to the date and even that IGN article seems to pull its facts from that PSN Store site.

What is that 25 GB? Size reported for X1 download? On PC it's 35 GB.

looking forward to the new sex scenes

Its good to have priorities :b

Spoiler

16h of sex mocap

 

[Slangblade]

Please release this game early!

 

[PayOffWizard]

Anyone think its worth forcing myself to finish the second one? I've played the first 2 hours and just couldn't get into it.

 

[Lunar15]

I wonder if this means they'll send out review copies somewhat early along with an early embargo.

 

[clst]

I can't wait! Looks wonderful! My pc needs a new game and this will be it! Now I just have to decide where I get it. I figure GOG since the devs get the most $$ from me right?

you re right if you want to support the devs for their next games it's the place

 

[Tovarisc]

I wonder if this means they'll send out review copies somewhat early along with an early embargo.

Early copies are likely, but early embargo? I'm calling release day embargo.

 

[Lunar15]

No reason they have to.

 

[julrik]

Haven't played the first two in the series, but I'm still hyped!

PS4 or laptop (i7-4710HQ, 8GB RAM, 980M), though?

 

[j-wood]

I can't decide what system to get this on. I've played all the other witchers on my PC, but right now I only have a GTX 660, which is the min for witcher 3.

If I switch to PS4 version, I'll lose all my choices from W1 and W2....

 

[ironcreed]

25 GB is what is shown on the Xbox marketplace page for the game. Who knows? We will see soon enough.

 

[Tovarisc]

No reason they have to.

For most of the time no publisher or dev have good reason for release day embargo, but it just seems to be a thing. I can understand it from not wanting story spoilers floating around through reviews too far ahead of release.

If I switch to PS4 version, I'll lose all my choices from W1 and W2....

Witcher 3 has "Prologue" that tells you events of Witcher 1 & 2 and asks for your decisions at keypoints of those games so you get to customize Witcher 3's worldstate.

 

[nickthebiggeek]

Great to hear its gone gold. Wasn't a big fan of the first two hopefully this one will be worth the wait.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[OnionPowder]

Only 1 more month. What a fantastic time to be an RPG fan.

 

[Anustart]

Obligatory

Is this from 3? Gerald looks like ass.

 

[Primethius]

Ah god, the wait is going to be brutal.

On the bright side, my PC is fully upgraded and ready to (hopefully) max this baby out.

 

[Complistic]

Is this from 3? Gerald looks like ass.

I too enjoy making graphical analysis based on glimpses in 480 x 220 gifs.

 

[jim2point0]

I've been looking forward to The Witcher 3 more than any other game this year. But man... I'm enjoying GTA5 a lot more than I expected to. TW3 has a tough act to follow. But if it delivers... I'll be glued to my PC for weeks.

Spoiler

please deliver... i took off 2 days from work for this!

 

[Fordfx2]

This makes me want to go back through TW2 before it releases.

Already started....

Since 660 is the min req, would I basically have to run the game at low settings? Might as well get PS4 version if so, because I don't think I can upgrade my video card right now...

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Gerald must be his drunk twin brother or something, eh?

 

[Fordfx2]

Seriously? Easy Choice...Laptop!

 

[Lionel Richie]

AH HELL YEAH!

 

[Anustart]

Gerald must be his drunk twin brother or something, eh?

Or auto correct, the world may never know!

 

[metalmachine]

I'm so looking forward to this but I don't know how I'm going to find he time to really dive into it. Lol

From work, to getting my MBA, 2 kids...I'm screwed.

On my second playthrough of TW2 now and I'm trying to speed through it so I can see the other story line. And I still have Bloodborne I was playing...

Ahhhhhh!!

[Newtype-001]

Mfw my exams start 22nd onwards

I hope they have some sort of recap thing for those who didnt play the previous games.

 

[Tovarisc]

There is such recap and it also lets you make decisions at keypoints of the events.

 

[Fordfx2]

Get on the Hype Train!

Watch till the very end....

 

[tuco11]

Please no launch day review embargos.

 

[DJIzana]

The Witcher 3, Splatoon, and Arkham Knight. The next few months are going to be great.

Replace Splatoon with FFXIV Heavensward and I'll agree.

 

[RealityCheque]

Got it for free with my new 970.

Get the fuck in!
