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

[tuluse]

Witcher only sells a lot on PC. W2 did not do well at all on the Xbox.

'Open world' requires the ability to run.

Fixed that for you.

Modified that for you.

 

[Multiple Sarcasm]

Coming out on “all top-of-the-line” consoles

Commander Geralt of Reavia confirmed.
But the important question is: can we continue romancing our waifus from Twitcher 1/2?

 

[made]

'Open world' requires the ability to jump.

Ultima disagrees.

 

[Lord Andre]

This shit will make Skyrim look like a masterpiece.

Video of some funny looking guys talking with some funny sounding accents.

0:25 - Is that a tranny?


Also, hooded character with white hair flowing out of said hood on the big drawing thingy - inb4 Ciri

Not what I meant. PB's games have always been rather niche. Witcher however, is a pretty popular mainstream series and sells a lot, now that it's going open-world Bethsoft might have to step up their game to compete.

Witcher 2 "only" sold two million, which is just as much as that other potato open world game, Two Worlds 2. And I have no clue how much Dragon's Dogma sold, but it didn't put a dent in Bethsoft either.

A BEARD??? They have no respect for their own franchise! Yes, keep spitting fans in the face, fucking polacks..

Ciri is dead, but memory-wiped Yennefer has apparently turned into a promiscuous traitorous bitch. I'm expecting some explicit femme fatale action, and a separate "Triss path" and "Yennefer path".

 

[Multidirectional]

separate "Triss path" and "Yennefer path".

Second game pretty much made it obvious that it's gonna come to that. In any case, we should stop discussing trivial shit and focus on his beard.

Geralt having a beard is a decline for me i hate it when they change characters look like that for no reason.
However in W2 you had the option to change haircut so i hope that in the world of witcher there exists a razor for shaving.

Like Morrowind, for example. It's a much smaller landmass than something like Skyrim

No it isn't.

She sacrificed herself to resurrect Geralt. He was dead, remember?

Of course it was all pretty vague so she might come back somehow.

 

[RRRrrr]

Seeing is believing. They promised up to 100 hours of gameplay in TW2 as well. I would take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Neverheless The Witcher is far more suited for open word than for linear popamoling. I hated that TW2 was so linear, TW1 gave a much better illusion of scale and choice.

Hopefully, they would make monster hunting better than in TW2 where it was almost nonexistant.
When is this game coming out, though? 2015?

I would need a source / quote on that, as what I remember happening is Ciri currently doing the Sliders thing.

So much for the "world is getting smaller and smaller with each installment" narrative
For some reason Morrowind feels bigger to me. Maybe because of the slow walking speed lol.

Oops, you're right. "Departed for good."

Potato fatwa imminent.

 

[racofer]

I have no interest on this shit anymore, it's basically "we want the Biothesda audience". They even mention Skyrim and Dragon Age in the video.

This is like that thing racofer was talking about.

EDIT: I'm surprised it will fall to a Brazilian the responsibility of saying this itt: KURWA!

Witcher only sells a lot on PC. W2 did not do well at all on the Xbox.

They released the Witcher 2 for consoles many months after the PC release on a age where people has the attention span of a rat, that is why witcher 3 is going to be multiplatform from the start. The main complain was that the combat system wasn't "intuitive" (AKA easy), they are dumbing down the combat mechanicis, the left mouse button on your mouse must be prepared for the "accessible combat" (combat system on the witcher 1 and 2 weren't exactly all that great either), CDprojekt started being recognized only recently and they are learning some marketing tricks with Bethesda marketing department, the main consoletard complain on Skyrim was the lack of any decent narrative and don't forget the desilusioned Biodrones.

My theory:
multiplatform + homeless biodrones + storyfags skyrim fans + "accessible" combat + "IT IS LIKE SKYRIM, GUYS" marketing campaing + potato programmers and artists slave labor = PROFIT
