It might be
Rience, he was promised with Ciri's sister, but her mother didn't keep the promise so he was hell bent on taking Ciri instead.

My plan is re-reading all 7 books this year, and play through Witcher 2 on PC for a third time, right before TW3 comes out.

I will be taking 2 weeks vacation for this game. No kidding.

WE MUST MENTALLY PREPARE!

The books are so astoundingly good- I've read The Last Wish and Blood of Elves, and a slew of translated fan site material. It's time to reopen the archives!

Last time I checked Russia buys more PC games than console games (and that is where their largest audience for this series is)

Unless this is like a huge breakout hit in the US, I would expect PC to still sell more.

Aren't CD Projekt Polish? Not doubting that Russian gamers are per-dominantly PC gamers, just curious.

is that why witcher 2 sold twice as much on pc than it did on xbox 360? am pretty sure, if antyhing, the hardcore rpg crowd is on ps4 and pc, not xbox. dark souls 1, 2 and wticher 2 proves this.

This will be marketed to everyone. It will be this gen's Oblivion/Skyrim. Everyone will buy it.

lets play a game and guess what it will take to run this at ultra 1080p with a stable framerate. at least we know that PC is the lead platform so i think it will surprise many of us.

I'm a PC guy going with the PC version. Some of the PC arrogance is a little off putting though. I am always a PC advocate but just as some try to dismiss PC's because of stupid old driver or how hard they are to assemble excuses, there are equal annoyances on the PC side. It will actually probably sell best on PS4 to be more specific. That doesn't mean the PC version won't be best or sell well.



It should be obvious by now that the 360 version came later down the line. This will be a simultaneous launch and I suspect will easily be the best selling Witcher title to date and rather fast. It looks amazing.

Well then why even bring up sales?

You get upset at people pointing out the facts: The PC version will look/run better. For some reason that ruffles your feathers, even though you are a PC gamer. I guess pointing out facts just rubs you the wrong way? Do you also get upset when PS4 gamers point out that games look better on that system than the xbone? Or when console gamers point out how much better games sell on their systems? Oh wait..

So, this bothers you so much that you have to take a silly swipe at PC gaming by trotting out sales, like you own CD Project Red or EA or something where that would have actual meaning to you.

It's weird. You claim PC gamers are arrogant (by pointing out facts) and so you feel the need to act in an arrogant manner (by pointing out sales of a game that isn't even out yet and which did better on PC last time around)!

Weird.

How would you respond to the question then?
Click to expand...

In fairness, they probably can't answer it right now due to the respective platform holders holding that information back or a pending announcement at something like E3.

In relation to the tweet from the fake account. The guy specifically asked about consoles. If you negate that, it is inevitable that the PC would have the superior product just because it is the only place where the highest quality assets can be used by more capable hardware, but that is just typical of the platform which is obvious.

You could probably bet that the PS4 would be better of the two consoles since that is the current trend. Again that seems fairly obvious

For people who don't know. She should have a big ugly scar on her face's left side

She also killed
Bonhart the witchers hunter
and the books were really about her/her story.

Rience, he was promised with Ciri too, but he did not get her
Click to expand...

Nope, I doubt that Geralt and specially Yennefer would be near Rience and don't try to murder him ASAP (and Yennefer would recognise him instantly even with mask). And anyway, spoiler of the penultimate book about Rience
Ciri kills him in the frozen lake skirmish
.

Yep. Would have preferred to see her hair down, but that's just me.

There's a little more:

PPS: Have you seen the Collectors Edition video? What did you think about the figure?

PPPS: We've just announced a closed multiplayer beta of The Witcher: Adventures... *bunch of unreadable stuff* ...password (WILDHUNT, eg: "geraltwolfmail.com/WILDHUNT", no quotes in the *unreadable* to let the GOG.com guys know *unreadable* you.

It's all I could get.

So is this a story
about Geralt being an assassin, again? Sorry, haven't read the books, I apologize if I'm being dumb. ^^;

Of course it's obvious. It's obvious to the PS4 gamer who tweeted the quesiton in the first place. He KNEW the answer would be PS4, it's why he tweeted.

But when this account comes back with the other obvious answer: PC, then console GAF has a meltdown. If the answer was PS4, no one would bat an eye.

Sure the game looks nice but I don't see much of a step up from W2. Dat hair.

Scale is much bigger though and I am sure that will have a big impact.

couldn't find a better pic but the face/skin for example looks much more natural.

Brilliant trailer and the game is gorgeous. I'm getting that warm gut feeling when you're super hyped. :D

I'm interested in getting into the books now. Any book-bro's out there who can give me a heads up on how many there and in what order I should read them? Have they all been translated to English? Are they even worth reading?

It really does look as good as the cutscenes in The Witcher 2, or even surpassing them. Simply amazing.

Geralt looks so freaking badass, and how about dat Triss Merigold tho. :O

Gonna play through 2 again after I finish Watchdogs. So hyped for this game.

Holy fuckity fuck. This looks like it will be game of the forever. My jaw hit the floor initially then I just started grinning as I realised I was only 30 seconds into the video and that there were 2 more minutes of awesome to come.

I still have a grin on my face, my wife thinks I'm nuts.

Best. Trailer. Ever.

I never need to have sex again, this is the pinnacle.

Can't wait to play this maxed out on an affordable PC
ten years from now :(

Does look great though. Witcher 2 is probably my favorite RPG. It was excellent on launch and each new update was a big improvement. With CD Projekt RED's ambition + what they've learned from past games, I can't see W3 being anything but a watershed moment for them gaming.

So can someone tell me who the grey haired woman is without telling me who she's killed or what she's done in the books? Just a name and perhaps her relevance to other characters? I'm curious.

There has to be a flashback scene at some point because at the start of the trailer you hear "there was once many of us" and this is definitely Vesemir and Eskel.

From the hidden message:
"Geralt's close friends and some of the last witchers remaining in the world. Vesemir, Eskel, and Lambert will play a big part in the game, as well as their famous fortress, Kaer Morhen."
