OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODRIN
>>332387552WHERE ARE YOOOOU
The release should be in Q2 2016 so at most we have 12 weeks of waiting.
>>332387245
Yes great game that is nearly a year old. Where has the time gone?
Yes . your that dull game with a horrible stale main protagonist and really really shitty combat system. Oh and you also got outclassed by the ps4 exclusive bloodborne.
Um hey man, how's it going? Need some cash to get by or something?
I would remember you more if CDPR actually releases the fucking REDkit instead of that poor excuse they call a "Modkit"
I really want Blood and Wine already. If it's anywhere as near as good as Hearts of Stone then it's going to be GOAT.
Why did they have to set the release date to just after Dark Souls 3 though?
>>332387662
>this much asspain in a single post
>>332387760
It's the "crowning jewel" of the series, and the last thing they can do on the Witcher series, so they're probably going to take their time until it's as good as they possibly can make it.
>>332387245

>>332388038
The only disgrace in that image is that Fallout 4 got more GOTY awards than Bloodborne. Rigged.
>tfw care more about the upcoming dlc than any other games this year
>>332387245
Just started this a couple of days ago. I'm having more trouble with the combat system than in any of the souls games and the loading screens last fucking forever. I'm really not into medieval fantasy either, but people wouldn't shut up about this game being the new jesus of wrpgs, so I had to give it a try.
>>332388142
>implying a semi popular ps4 exclusive could ever compete with a bethesda title regardless of circumstances
Lucky as shit Witcher 3 came out last year or bethesda would be getting away with another 200 awards
>>332388013
might be good but likely wont be goty material.
>>332388038
goddamn.
>>332388170
Take a step back and think what you're doing wrong, the combat system is actually pretty neat despite what spergs try to imply and spamming attacks mindlessly will often get you fucked especially against groups.
Boss fights are a fucking joke though
>>332388132
Not garbage just nowhere near goty level
>>332388135
Not surprising considering how much good will CDPR and the Witcher was earning for the past few years.
>>332388142
Fallout 4 is shit but Bloodborne is niche. What did you expect?
>>332387662
>stale main protag, kinda, shitty combat system, yes...
>MUH BLOODBORNE DIDN'T WIN GOTY ;________________________;
>>332388142
I'm just as big a Sonygger as anyone (PS4 and Vita all day), but Bloodborne isn't THAT special.
The story and lore was decent, the combat was slightly faster and aggressive Dark Souls, and the art design was pretty cool, but it wasnt GoTY material.
I think most of us would have rather been playing a good Dark Souls / Demons Souls game, but DaS2 was shit, so BB was just a really nice filler until DaS3.
>>332388353
Truth be told I was expecting it, but still got a bit surprised when it dominated so hard. It was a pretty hard year and bethesda have always been favourites with no one daring to oppose the hivemind
>>332388393
I almost fell for the shilling and got a ps4 for it, but then I remembered I played both DeS and DaS1 completely offline for 1 playthrough and never went back. I have no doubt its good though, gonna try it when I pick up a ps4.5 since by then a couple of games I want will be out

>>332388883
You're trying a little too hard.
>>332388038
>in an industry this casual this is surprising
no
>>332388883
Maybe the reason why bloodborne didnt get many more goty awards was because not everyone could justify paying 400 dollars for a system with one game?
Regis? Saskia and Yorveth would be neat but IIRC CDPR said they won't be in the DLC.
>>332388979
but everything he said is true
witcher 3 was forgettable, dont pretend it wasnt just to feel better about not playing bb
>>332389052
>still no Iorveth
;_;
>>332389095
I thought it was solid 9/10. The combat wasn't perfect and the story had a little too much padding and downtime, but other than that, it was absolutely brilliant. Heart of Stone was even better.
>>332387245
If Bloodborne didn't come out the same year /v/ would unanimously call this game shit. You know it's true.
>>332388636
CDPR really is a master at PR. They have been building up so much good cred for the past few years that not even an obvious downgrade affected them. Then with everything that it did right it's not surprising.

>>332388282
>spamming attacks mindlessly will often get you fucked especially against groups.
Yeah, noticed. And groups are pretty much the only thing you ever have to fight.
I get what the game is going for. You're fighting powerful, inhuman opponents stronger and faster than you, using your wits, tricks and tactics. But in practice, this generally just means spamming dodge and praying one of the enemies gets randomly separated from the pack so you can kill them off one by one, without being gangbanged the instant you lower your guard. Which isn't very interesting.
>>332389052
Saskia and Iorveth are a no go. Something was found in the files that related to Regis but CDPR would really have to break the lore to bring him back though I suppose it's not the first time they have done so.

Regis likely won't appear in games, he was mentioned in first part. Sapkowski said that he will regenerate, but if cutting his head of took more then 50 years to regenerate... Well, he is dust now, so it will take some time.
>>332389338
This, fucking this. They did some mistakes and shit with Gwint Cards, deleting dice poker and downgrade, but I can't blame them. Making games is still business and at least they play fair with players.
Also, they are one of few people that know difference between fucking DLC and true, old expansion.
Blood and Wine is gonna be like... good wintage.
Also, Cyberpunk. If they will success with this as they did with fucking Witcher 3 and if game will be even better, they will get everlasting fame, like Troika and Black Isle back in time.

>>332392049
They changed it a bit, but I don't remember changing white frost. Sapkowski never stated that they can't use energy like this (actually, they open portals to world where there is fucking cold as hell, future alternative Witcherworld. Sapkowski stated in last book that White Frost is Ice Age coming back)
>>332392108
Reminder that Troika literally sacrificed the studio to make VtMB.
>>332387552
OOOODRIN! KOCHI KOCHI ODRIIIIIN!
>>332392258
Nah, it's a misconception that Bloodlines killed Troika it certainly helped because it bombed like a motherfucker, but they were still operational and pitching other projects to publishers, one of which was Arcanum 2. Problem was no one was willing to fund their projects so they used what money they had to give their employees proper severances and medical insurance and closed earlier. Even during that period Troika treated people right instead of just kicking them out on the street which seems to be the practice these days. Not to mention one employee made Bloodlines patch 1.2 after closure and on his own free time.
>>332391949
>Black Isle
>now this
Holy shit.
>>332392247
The White frost is not in inner dimensional space entropy and is just the planet tilting on it's axis in the books which creates an ice age. CDPR changed it a lot. Also it never got stopped and makes the Witcher world inhabitable 3000 years after the events of the final book.
>mfw people compare Skyrim and Witcher 3 Steam numbers
>>332392420
I thought the misconception was that Activision killed Troika.
>>332391818
Obligatory
>>332392597
That's not a misconception. Activision mismanaged Troika horribly.
>ask them for multiplayer mode
>one year later tell them to scrap multiplayer mode
>>332392725
Maybe so, but Troika was pretty efficient on digging their grave by themselves. Bloodlines was over ambitious, over budget and over time. Activision even gave money to Troika so that they could finish The Temple of Elemental Evil and work on Bloodlines exclusively.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wut?I haven't picked up the season pass yet because there hasn't been a sale. Tell me more about Hearts of Stone
>>332393248
If you liked Witcher 3, Heart of Stone is basically that, but with better bosses, gameplay, characters, story and pacing.
>>332393248
How have you NOT heard about HoS?
Felt like an Ubisoft game with a boring story (muh Ciriii), a Mary Stu main protag and an empty map filled with uninteresting '?' and repetitive quests.
Syndicate did the detective stories right tho.

I would also implore you to not spoil anything. Go in as blind as you possibly can.
>>332393332
>>332393334I never even finished the first area in Witcher 3. I spent 30 hours killing bandits and drowners at map markers and then I uninstalled because I couldn't handle it any more. Ghost baby was cool but I can only kill so many drowners to collect recipes to make equipment that I can't even craft before I have a nervous breakdown.I'm actually reinstalling it now because my buddy has been telling me to ignore all map markers and I'm gonna try.

This game caused the worst buyers remorse I ever had.
>>332387245
Pirated it, played for 150h more or less.
It was fun, but I had more fun with Fallout 4 and Bloudbourne.
>>332393784
MGS is such a rambo ripoff. :D
>>332393790
It's the deep seated knowledge that if I don't grind every map location to get the best equipment possible, Geralt will be unable to progress later in the game.
That, or I just have brain problems. I preordered Witcher 3 for about $10 because the gray market still existed at that time and got my 30 hours of grinding in, whereas I'm $60 in on Fallout 4 with the season pass and I'm pushing 80 hours.

>>332395047
>Open world itself and exploration was god tier, 10/10.
Not really because it doesn't feel like a world. I guess it's true if you want to just explore an area and find shit all the time, but Fallout 4, just like F3 and Oblivion as well as Skyrim, scream THEMEPARK where you can't walk five minutes in any direction without finding something. Witcher 3 is honestly on the opposite side of the spectrum in that how its world is structured is very believable and coherent, but all those question marks in the middle of nowhere exist so you would actually HAVE a reason to go there because game doesn't really utilize it's big areas well. Witcher 3 has so-called open world primarily for immersion and not really because it's designed for the same Bethesda audience.
>>332395047
I wasn't a fan of the world in 4, it was dull to me, damn shame too. After the initial crushing disappointment of Skyrim I managed to find some fun in it and enjoy myself. Fallout 4 is lost on me, no fun to be had.

>>332395412
You are entirely right in a way. TW3 is made to be more believable, and Skyrim, Fallout 4 are themeparks, big sandboxes, just packed with shit. As much as I loved TW3, and I played it for 150h, the world was shit for me. Like, trully shit. Empty with a few copy pasted bandit camps here and there.
I liked the "themepark" aspect of Skyrim and F4, just walking around and finding hidden shit all the time. Bethesda has no idea how to make main quests, good animations, good combat, but nobody can make worlds as interesting as theirs imo.

I'm not too familiar with Witcher lore, but aren't they still weaker than say, werewolves, and other pure monstrosities they fight? The mutations and training just give them a fighting chance where ordinary humans would have none.
was he the devil?
>>332387245
Still waiting for that B&W release date announcement.
>>332397619
wait, is this actual card in the game?
>>332397227
Witcher is far more powerful then normal human. Still, most of monsters can easly kill them if they aren't careful... and wizards can rekt their shit without much problems.
Still, Witchers are faster and stronger then ordinary human would ever be. Also, people fear them as fuck (in tabletop Witcher you get bonus points of fear and reputation drop if anyone see more then two witchers in group. Really, those guys alone can take many people with them before then die. Group of them? If you don't have wizard backup or small squad of people with crossbows, run)

>>332397227
There are creatures out there that can beat a witcher in a fight for example Geralt lost a fight to a bruxa in one of the short stories and was saved at the last second by someone else.
>>332397619
I think he was just a creature from another dimension. Him being the devil or God wouldn't make sense given the Witcher universe. He wouldn't belong at all.
>>332392027
By the time the game comes out it'll be a quaint period piece.
>>332397619
why did he disappear at the end?
beating him in a silly bet casts him away? or did he just leave?
>>332399208
He was probably only held in the world by the pacts.
>>332399208
he has to play by the rules>>332399252
whatever he was there was something that held him in place
>>332394208
>It's the deep seated knowledge that if I don't grind every map location to get the best equipment possible
Or you could just play the game normally and focus on dismanting instead of being horribly autistic and still get the best gear.
>>332397619
No him flat out being devil wouldn't fit given the witcherverse, Probably just a creature from another dimension. Think along the lines of a Djinn.
>>332399525
>>332399594
so someone has to summon him to request he comes back?
Is that what Olgierd did?
Been awhile since i played it...
>>332398241
Doubt that he was. He acted more like a demon and wasn't omnipresent
>>332399739
That's what Olgierd did. He's not dead, just gone.
>>332399739
I'm fairly sure he doesn't act on summons, he acts freely on his own pacts. He can be summoned via directly or indirectly like the poor professor did by looking too deeply into him, but I'm certain he mostly deals in pacts and then at the end of the pact he's free to enslave more souls.
>>332399823
Yeah that and given that we don't know if Gods actually exist in the witcherverse and how the author talked about religion in the books and that the main character is an atheist lead me to believe that the author implied that there are no gods. The only thing I can recall that showed that Gods might exist is that Yen had that whole trance with the Goddess in the 6th book but that was in a trance so who knows what was happening. Him being a powerful demon and a monster makes more sense then a godlike figure. Now the power of Destiny is very real but godlike figures wouldn't make much sense given the lore and everything.
>>332387245
Yeah. Had fun. Going to replay the whole thing when the next big DLC is out
>>332400305
Pretty sure it's implied in base Witcher 3 that Skellige deities do exist a couple of times.
>>332397619

>>332392023

>>332400651
When? The garden was a massivr pocket of magical energy that can be found throughout the world of the Witcher caused by the conjuction of spheres. The game never implies that deities exist.

It cool that David Beckham made a guess appearance
>>332400965
The Berzerkers at the feast weren't men turned into bears, they were bears turned into men because of some ancient ritual involving human sacrifice towards a banished God.
Still wasn't a fan of the ending, it felt rushed, which was a shame because so much of the game before that was exceptional, and then the ending kind of tried to shove everything including place to wrap it up in about 5 minutes with next to no explanation. Thought the new conjunction of the spheres leaves the possibility of sequals more open, with maybe a new Witcher school being founded and being a true RPG with character creation?
>>332394208
Sounds like you're ocd
>>332401193
Given what we know though it was probably just some sort of cursed enacted by magic. Happened in the books.
>Witcher III is the pinnacle of RPG excellence and is praised up and down despite focusing almost entirely on its story and presentation while the gameplay and world design are an afterthought
This is what is wrong with games today. Even Bloodborne was watered down for a wider audience. This game was exactly like Witcher II, boring gameplay and pointless dialogue choices that don't affect the story. This game exemplifies exactly what's wrong with games today, it's far too shallow and puts all its effort into its narrative.
>>332388218
I've been playing the jap version, literally just after I got done playing Witcher 3 the day before.
DS3 is definitely GOTY for me
>>332394208
the main quest alone give you sufficient equipment to get by.
>>332395047
Curie is superior. Better robutt than Spic.
This is a game where BUILD WALL is a mechanic you fucking shit.
>>332393452
i explored the entire south part of valen before doing the main quest. took about 16-18 hours.
>>332401510
>puts all its effort into its narrative.
it doesnt. most of the effort went to presentation. many part of the plot and worldbuilding is lackluster. it certainly get better and more colorful main and supporting characters than new vegas but outside that it falls flat.
>>332401449
To add more. It's mentioned that temples are built around the magical pockets of energy. Priest and priestess like to think they get their gifts from Gods but in reality they just draw upon the magic force that surrounds their temples. Yen mentions it and Nennke even though she believes in Melitle says something similar. Actually wish we would have gotten her in the games she was a cool character and it would have been interesting to see Geralt interact with his mother figure.
>>332393521
That bullshot sky again...
Seriously, the skybox in TW3 was abysmal, and this is the same bullshit as in pic related.
>>332387245
hasnt this game suppose to have 2 dlcs? Its been forever since I played the Hearts of Stone shit (imo better than the game).
>>332402080
Not a bullshot, doesn't take a genius to point out the low LOD

Nice try fampai desu nee
I just picked this game up last week, and I'm having a great time. It's one of those games that make me want to explore everything.
Should I pick up Hearts of Stone? I'm still chasing Ciri right now, does it matter where I'm at in the game with the dlc?
>>332387662
Please Witcher 3 outsold BB by a million in its own platform. You'r game didn't win.
>>332402380
Yes, Yen, Ciri, & triss will comment on your scar made by gaunter, dunno about the rest as I beat the game then played the DLC.
>>332402380
Just do it after beating the game though. I played a bit of it beforehand, and the pacing between Hearts of Stone and the endgame felt... Awkward. But yeah, I recommend it. It's lengthy enough and the story is decent.
>>332402541
Its better if you do it near the finale, because you'll miss some extra dialogue
>>332388135
It was well received in Japan. Having a very well done localization for multiple languages definitely helped. I often saw Nips commenting about that song by Priscilla for instance.
>>332402691
Have they patched the transitions between the audio clips in that song yet? It was pretty awkward.
>>332402618
That's pretty much what I did. I did Hearts of Stone before going to the camp for the final battle against the Wild Hunt. It still felt kinda weird. Stupidest mistake in my life because the urgency in both cases just died and rotted in a hole.
>>332387245
>First Dragon Age: Inquisition
>Now this
It's OK, once vidya journalism has got over its Game of Thrones jealousy it can freely admit that Bayonetta 2 and Bloodborne were the GOTYs of their respective years.
>>332402618
Ah, okay! Thanks.
>>332402304
Yes, it's an obvious bullshot, they are lying again, there is no defending this.
>>332402167
I'm not talking about the LOD itself, the skybox in-game looks terrible, the one in the bullshot is way more vibrant and sharp.
Now I do understand that this is a different place, so a different look to the sky, but the same situation occurred with the Novigrad bullshot, whereas the skybox at the same time of day and weather looks afwul in-game. Another example is pic related, which is easy to encounter in-game and looks horrible.

The man of glass certainly likes to play god. I wonder if Cirri could kill it
>>332402932
Dude he can also control time.
>>332403042
He can manipulate time; idk if he's can control it. Cirri can manipulate space and time
>>332402803
Why do you care about graphics so much?
>>332403159
I should add g.o.d can manipulate space and time too but I'm interested what would happen if two powerful being like those two fought
>>332394590
They aready had the engine version with better graphics running on PC, but had to change the engine due to consoles. There was an interview with the devs on some gaming site about it.
>>332403467
Which matters little since the game still looks better than most of the games released around the year 2015.
mfw the Hearts of Stone DLC was much better then the whole game. Hell better then most games games released recently, especially story-wise
>>332387245
sure kurwa
>>332387245
Yes, thanks for reminding me to install you.
>>332403193
I care more about the final product not representing what was shown beforehand.
I care about atmosphere which was, for me personally, the most important part of TW1.
I care because sight is a dominant human sense.
I care because, graphics, environment design, and story (including characters) are the only things the game has going for it (which is a lot and I do think the game is good, goty for me since I only own a PC and there was nothing else better than TW3 on this particular platform in my opinion).
>>332403576
Is this character modeled after david beckham?
>>332403957
>game is good
I meant decent.
>>332387245
It has the best facial expressions I've seen in vidya and don't see how that will change any time soon. Hoping I'm wrong though, since it was great to see characters as humans for a change.
>>332403576
It goes to show they learned from making the main game, its the prime example of how post-launch content should be. Not to mention its price/quality compared to the diarrhea bethesda dlc is.
>>332403467
How long until ps5 and NSAbox 2?
>>332387245
Ima still playan...
Enjoyan my withchering, even read the books.
Cant wait for a second expansion(this replay i left my may save from Witcher 1,2 and 3 just before Island of Myst(will see how it will merge witn new dlc), aaaaaaaaanyways, im level 37 and i literally look like a billion $(game is not shallow, but fuck , can you dress yourself up in this game!!)
>OP tries to create a shitpost thread

>>332389338
you forgot, game was totally and absolutely free for download.
You literally had Witcher 3_install.exe(21.4Gb) file on Pirate Bay(any fucking torrent hole) and you downloaded small patch on release day.
So, fact is that game was released next to freeware or donationware.
This is not good PR, this is madness but madness works when you polish your games for so long.
Also, IDK if anyone knows, consoles almost killed CDPR and Witcher2 is really way shorter game than it should be, if you want to learn more , google : fail developement of white wolf for consoles

Brown swampy forests filled with one type of enemy: the game.
The cinematics/main story, as well as most of the quests were fine, but goddamn, I don't think there has ever been an RPG with worse environments (or rather, environment, since there is only one type of terrain in the entire game), OR less enemy types.
>>332405757
What i didn't understand, is why he really fulfilled Geralts wishes, if you chose not to get involved at the end.
If you wished to be swift at the wind, he gave you a saddle for your Horse (though i already have a saddle with better stats in my inventory).
Or Vodka-Bottle with unlimited supply of alcohol. And all other wishes.
I expected to be screwed over.
For example for "bottle that always full", he could give you the bottle that cannot be opened by anyone/anything & etc.
But the Gaunter O'Dimm played nice. :/
Completed the game and I literally enjoyed Arkham Knight more.
It was the more consistent game but it has TLOU levels of overblown hype, it plays the genre sickeningly safe. Not really the game you replay especially when the build variety is so limiting. I Guess the DLC will be good and i'm not really surprised as to why it's forgotten. There's not much to remember unless you love the fiction it's based on and any even moderate book reader with knowledge of the Witcher books will tell you how weak those mediocre books were outside of a handful of short stories.

or you did run around in the same area the whole time.
There are plenty when it comes to variety of enemies. Much more then in skyrim/fallout/othershittygames.

>>332406450
>bustling city
Those were pretty good. Clearly inspired by real-life Polish cities and not really Dark Souls level of spectacular, but fairly bustling and large, yes.
>Scandinavian inspired northern forestland
Which is brown. And swampy.
>lots of green forests in Velen
The area with the hags and the poludnica (well-wraith) was actually okay, but they were a drop in the drowner-infested brownness. I wonder if Poland is really so dreary.
>>332406727
because they couldn't create their own Character

>>332406880

Fucking Gwent.
>>332407139
Dark Souls 3 won't appeal to Witcher fans cause it has no story. It's a completely different game to Bloodborne despite reusing most of its assents.
