Who else has got their preorder in?I haven't even played HoS yet.
I don't understand why they made a box copy for this
Pre ordered it digitally on GoG for £14. Pretty excited, should be decent
>20 days
>>337204775
Eh it's pretty cool, don't see many boxed expansions nowadays .
Have the season pass. I'll probably buy the gwent decks online.
>>337204775
It has more content than most 60 dollar AAA games nowadays, why not?
>>337204775
Back in the day expansion packs were worth getting a box for.
>>337205637
They also used to come with fucking disks.
>>337205637
They didn't come as a digital code though
>>337204605
Goddamn CD projekt red, making me buy physical dlc which I've never done, but I want those cards so goddamn bad. I bought the first one but these are two new decks. After I figured out how to git gud at Gwent it became one of my favorite things to do in the game.
a pre order.... for dlc? lmao
why? they gunna run out unless you ensure a copy now?
>>337204605
where can I get this? is there a pc version? I'd really like a few physical gwent decks.
HoS was fuckin rad. Hopefully this is just as good
>>337206251
If it is half as good it will be worth it. The content and pacing of HoS was probably better than the middle and later parts of the main game.
>>337204605
I just got the season pass after I finished the main game but I am excited. I liked HoS but felt like it was a bit too short.
>>337205807
>>337205731
Imagine it's to cut on manufacturing costs. It might not even fit on one disc.
I appreciate the pageantry it's trying to convey.
>Just finished book 4
>talks about how badass vigelfortz is
>he is going to be probably featured in this DLC
can't fucking waitttttt
Finally, the Game of the Year Bun...wait, what?
Is the boxed edition exclusive to PS4? That's some bullshit.
>>337204605
>winner of over 800 awards
How can any game ever compete?
>>337204605
how much do the dlcs cost, physical and digital
>Download code
>Collector's box
WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT THEN?
>>337207894
You get two Gwent decks. They did this with HoS too, nice box + DLC code + Gwent cards.
>>337207769
PC too.
>>337204605
is this gonna release stateside? should i wait for a goty edition or just snag this and wild hunt
>Want to get a new card for this, so I can play it on max
>New cards from Nvidia and AMD are right around the corner, making it a bit silly to buy one right now
Fug
>>337204605
CDProjektShill here. Remember if you bought the expansion pass and want the Gwent cards, go here and upload a picture of your receipt for the expansion pass.
They did this for Hearts of Stone too and I got my cards just fine.
http://redeemgwent.com/
gotta get HoS too.
might have to wait until after mid-June to play it though, got some finals around launch.
>>337204605
>I haven't even played HoS yet.
Same famalam. Getting there though
>mfw I see Geralt hug Regis when he sees he's alive
>mfw by the end of the expansion when Regis sacrifices himself once again and dies but this time it's for good
>you get a vineyard you can retire to at the end
neat
Last piece of content for the game seems like an odd time to change so many things like UI and shit.
>>337211065
I think it's doubling as their enhanced edition as well as an expansion.
>>337210492
Just sent mine, would really like the Northern and Nilfgaard decks.
How much do they cost anyway?
>>337210934
They should have the epilogue reflect this. I get that Kovir could be a nice place to retire to as well if you're a Trissfag, but if you're either with Yen or Solo, why the hell wouldn't you want to retire in the most comfy of all comfy places.
I guess the already existing one could be interpreted as that.
When are you meant to play the expansions? Right before the end? I haven't gotten TW3 yet so I don't know if there's level scaling or what have you.
>>337211065
I think it's more about them trying to figure out how to make controller-friendly interfaces and iterating over and over.
>>337204775
>>337205807
They should have just released the game again with expansion included for $60 just to artificially extend the game's life on the shelf space.
>>337211065
that's what expansions were for before
to make things better and add content
for example tribunal for morrowind made journal coherent with proper quest names and segmentation
>>337211531
B&W seems to favor being played after the game. For example Yen and Triss come visit your vineyard while HoS sometime prior to beating the main game due to the additional dialogue that you can get with Yen, Ciri, Triss, and Gaunter if you aide with him.
>>337211709
I bet they're going to release GOTY version with everything once they've fully patched it.
>>337211354
Probably $10+shipping+tip like last time
>>337211776
>GOTY Version
Surely you mean Enhanced Edition!I bought Witcher 2 when it was new but sat on it like an idiot clearing my backlog, and by the time I got to it I only experienced the Enhanced version.
>>337211991
they said a long time they have no plans for giving it the enhanced edition treatment, but that's kinda exactly what they've been doing with patches and expansions building on top of the base game
>>337212091
It made me glad I waited on Witcher 3. Wanted to get if for PS4 originally but it was a performance clusterfuck until half a year of updates later just to give 'some' semblance of a steady 30fps.I really should build a second PC for the living room.
>tfw when you were right to buy season pass last year
>>337212091
I just wish they could change that fucking Radovid assassination quest to what it was planned to be, so we don't have Dijkstra going full fucking retard.
>>337212197
Not season pass, friend - expansion pass. I really liked how they laid out exactly what you're getting for your money and loosely when you're getting it.
>>337204605
Already got the Expansion Pass my neagro amigo.
The amount of content in this expansion sounds insane, and it seems like it's filled with neat features we've all wanted.
I imagine I'll spend 30+ hours there, easy. Most likely a whole lot more.
>>337204605
From everything I've read it sounds like a great sendoff for the game.
Got the expansion pass a long time ago
Its going to suck when the mods I like break, immersion things like scabbards, immersive cam etc.
Did they mention what the new Gwent deck is? Northern Realms, Nilfgaard, Monsters, Elves. What else fits here?
>>337213739
Skellige
Remember how busted basic movement and horses used to be in the game, and people defended it?Good on the devs to at least fix it and provide the busted method as an option for those that somehow thought it was better
>>337204775
because sweaty virgins love mediocre card games that they'll never actually play in person and so they'll shill it for them
Not sure it can top HoS.
Probably the best linear cinematic experience I've had in a video game.
Vampires are always pretty lame.
>>337213813
Man I hope they rebalance the game. Less hero spam, less spy spam.
>>337214093
HoS will be hard to top because it had a very strong cast of characters, in a small but dense new part of an existing map that still allowed some room for new content in old places like Oxenfurt, all in a 10-15 hour story.
B&W is a new region, in a 30+ hour gameplay experience. There is no way they can top being a proxy for a demon and completing 3 troublesome wishes for an immortal.
>>337214249
But it already topped it by having REGIS
Is this gonna be the last bit of DLC for W3?
>>337214565
Yep, this is the last expansion. Then they're going to be working solely on Cyberpunk 2077.
What's with the enemy difficulty in HOS?
>Wraiths in the painted world felt cheap as fuck
>Fight Olgierd nightmare
>Have a difficult time
>>337214565
Yes, this is it for Witcher 3 and for the foreseeable future, the Witcher franchise. This is the send off for Geralt.
Might get some Cyperpunk stuff by the end of the year then with a release late 2017
>>337214716
It wasn't that bad. I had a bad time with the frog, but that was my own fault.
Wraiths aren't that bad as long as you use Yrden and attack the healing painting fast. Also I hope you didn't trigger more than one Olgierd at a time, otherwise I can understand why you would get your ass kicked.
>>337204605
Wtf is this? Does this come with the original game or is this just a DLC?
>>337214913
It's not standalone, so you need the base game.
>>337214809
I meant the spider wraiths. They came off as cheap.
No, only one at a time. I just need to get good with parrying and dodging.
>>337214809
>2016
>not fighting all of the phantoms at once
Say goodbye to your achievement.
>>337215149
Didn't know that was a thing. Who cares about chievos, though.
>>337211065
I've preordered the pass long ago, but this actually doesn't feel right, UI changes should be pathes material, why those who just have the main game couldn't get them?
PS the Griffin armor looks like shit in every form
>>337215310
I'm curious what the grandmaster tiers of the other witcher armors will look like.
>>337215310
UI is probably getting added to the old stuff, but the new LOD improvements won't.
will there be a goty edition i'd buy it
>>337215613
Perhaps they'll make one that's a bundle with both expansions, but don't expect any additions like the EE version of the former games.
Wheres the special edition for PC?
I want them Gwent cards.
>>337216002
See
>>337210492
Better act fast if you want them, I'm sure they'll go out of stock soon.
>>337204605
dont think I can go back to that boring combat after playing dark souls3
>>337211065
Wait is the UI change free or do you need the expansion for it?
Is it only for EU? I tried getting the limited edition set for Hearts of Stone, but couldn't find any place taking pre-orders for it inCanada
>>337210492
It just redirects me to the main site
>>337204605
Will it pre-load?
>>337210492
I don't see the expansion pass I bought in my library, but I've had HoS just fine.
Finally i will have all the gwent cards
Now to find someone to play it with...
>>337204605
Same here anon, I'm gonna marathon the game with both expansion packs this summer.
Already got the HoS physical copy, definitely gonna get this one as well.
>>337214704
>>337214740
i guess all good things must come to an end
>>337204605
Who else /redeemgwent/ here?
>>337220936
Here.
Let's hope they haven't all been sold out before we get the codes.
>>337210492
Tried this just now and ended up with an error screen telling me to go back and do it again. Now when I try to do it again it says my email address is already in the database. Did it actually go through?
>>337219161
i would play with you if i could.
luckily, i have a few friends that cares enough to play with me.
>Collector's Edition comes packed with Magic: The Gathering cards and authentic trading card box
>the video game part included in the box is just a slip of paper with CD-key code
Couldn't they have at least pressed a disc with all their game patches and free new content packages? I mean shit I haven't bought a physical boxed game in years since fucking Gamestop ran all the gaming stores out of business, so I mean whatever. It's just funny that even boxed copies of games don't have a physical game included anymore.
>>337222189
Wouldn't be dlc anymore if it was on a disc
Almost done in Novigard.
Is there as much to do in all the other places`?
>>337215310
>UI changes should be pathes material
It is? Of course they're not doing UI changes just for the people who own the expansion. They already said it's one major patch before the expansion hits, expansion itself and then one final big patch for the road. That's it for Witcher 3. Then they're moving full-time to Cyberpunk 2077.
>>337222189
>Couldn't they have at least pressed a disc with all their game patches and free new content packages? I
No. Because that's going to be GOTY version later on. I just hope they fix their GOG patching system in the future because FUCK downloading 5GB+ for each patch.
>>337212287
It's a shame. I liked Djikstra, I really did.
Too bad I like Roche and Ves more.
>>337226752
they supported the game like crazy already
I've played a few hours of TW1 & 2. I enjoyed 2 more but found it hard.
What's 3 like? Which of all of them is better? Are 1 & 2 necessary to play 3? I imagine I'll try and finish 2 first, but I don't know if I'll play 1. I'll see how I go.I might try my hand at the books too, but if so it won't be for at least a year or something.
>>337227210
>Are 1 & 2 necessary to play 3?
It's highly recommended, although I think books are more important than games because 3 finishes or references a lot of those story elements as well.
preordering the season pass once my money arrives
>>337227210
3 is the best in the series by a huge margin
>>337227210
>Are 1 & 2 necessary to play 3?
Nope. Played 1 and 2, hated them. Played 3, adored it, and I was never lost or wondering what the characters were talking about because they actually did a really good job of introducing new players to the series.
>>337205215
>download code only
They might as well just get into the merchandise business.
>>337204605
me neither so I think I´m going to wait for the "game of the year" edition.
who knows they might even change the combat for the better like they did with witcher 2
there is even a change that they might redo it for the ps4 neo to get used to the hardware for cyberpunk
>>337224386
>Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me.jpg
guys.. guys!
>>337204605
>I haven't even played HoS yet
You haven't lived
>>337204775
because it has cards, I only am buying boxed version for cards
>>337205815
>Physical DLC
M8 this is an expansion pack.
>>337227602
mod?
>>337227892
LADY OF THE LAKE <3
>>337227892
Didn't that already happen in the first Witcher game?
>>337228597
Yeah once you did the best path for the chapter 4 main questline. Considering they're turning very strongly to fairy tales for B&W it's a natural choice to give the sword back.
>>337204775
because you get physical gwent cards in the box.
>>337227892
I don't think she's going to be very impressed by how I've been sticking to the oath she forced on my in the first game.
>>337207184
nice b8 m8
Those motherfuckers should've started with northern and nilfgaard in the first place. Monster and scoiatel decks are not fun to play with in real life.
>>337229348
I imagine any muster deck would be fucking boring to play.
>>337229487
>Put a unit on the field
>Now I need to rummage the deck to find that unit's group of friends
>repeat for the next card
It was more enjoyable when the game would handle rummaging the deck for me.
What US retailer even has the physical version for PC? Gamestop, Bestbuy, and the PX didn't have it
>>337206251
what armor is that?
>>337230242
school of the wolf
>>337204605
Meh, I'll pirate it when Steam has it on sale
>>337230381
???
Is this gonna be some shitty waifu focused DLC?
It looks like it
>>337204605
fuck thats cool
>>337214716Spiders
Will they make a a complete collection?
>>337215149
It is impossible on a difficulty higher then sword and story.
One phantom can stunlock you,with 6 you are dead in seconds
>>337230821
>It is impossible on a difficulty higher then sword and story.
Spot the shitter that never uses oil, potions, bombs, or signs.
>>337231238
Show me how then.
>>337204775
Because digital only wouldn't fit the GOTY 2016.
The physical version of the game doesn't have a Steam key. Does the physical expansion?
>>337231749
The only way to get a Steam key is to buy it on Steam itself, everywhere else its a gog key.
>>337231749
Physical expansion have a key, which you enter on GOG website and you choose where you want to activate that key (Steam/GOG/Origin) and it generates you a new key
>>337231578
with tank build probably or bomb spam or perfect dodges
but if i remember right they can rush you all together, fight is pretty hard on deathmarch
>>337231963
you are wrong, I have bought Hearts of Stone physical and I have it on Steam
>>337231963
>>337231974
Contradictory, but I'll assume the second one is right. Why can't you do that with the physical base game?
I guess I'll just buy the physical, get the GOG digital, and add it as a non-steam game.
>>337230121
walmart and bestbuy have it.
>>337204605
>still no playable yenefer
>still no new characters
>still no fleshed out playable ciri
>still same boring gameplay in a nice but non interactive, boring world
>>337204775
Well the physical gwent deck might be nice if you can't get them anywhere elsewhere.
>>337232405
>>still no playable yenefer
Why the fuck would you want this?
>>still no new characters
Literally retarded there's several new ones
>>still no fleshed out playable ciri
You want more of the worst sections of the game?
>>still same boring gameplay in a nice but non interactive, boring world
At least this "boring" gameplay is getting some improvements with more enemy varieties and bosses.
>>337210492
fuck them for proposing a bundle of both with the second xpac and not the first, can't get a second set of the new cards so i can play mirror games with all the decks
>>337215427
I hope we get it for all schools, including Viper.
>>337228409
Nah, it's the PS4 version.
>>337224386
Pull it to the right and hope they get a sad song.
>>337230771
You mean GOTY version? I'd be surprised if they don't considering it's another way to sell the game to players who don't want to buy individual DLC. They'll probably do it only after game has been completely patched.
>>337232643
Why did you take the bait anon?
