The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PC, XBOX ONE, PS4)

[MLB]

That is great timing as I had only just started another playthrough. Might as well get into this for winter!

Also, a DLC release twelve years after initial is pretty insane.

 

[Steve1986]

Oh - here we go... I'm going to lose 250 hours of my life again.



Remastered, improved combat, improved traversal, upgraded graphics, and a billion other bits... this could be even more epic-erer with the improved combat and traversal.

And then another goodness knows how many hours lost in this...

Witcher 3 new DLC

Im looking forward to downloading it, checking what frame rate I get, then never playing it again. Same as I did with the original and the last time they remastered it.

Not even joking, I love benchmarking stuff and this game always looks great

 

[Willo40]

mmmm this may well tempt me into a second playthrough, epic game.

 

[Flat Eric]

Never played it. Do I need to have played the others for this to make sense?

 

[MLB]

Probably some background things, lore references and old relationships that you might not get but I never played any other games in the series, read a synopsis beforehand and had a great time.

i never played any of the other Witchers, just 3, didn't make any difference to me, well not that i noticed.

 

[Whitetac]

Likewise. Absolutely loved it, such a good game. Will also be doing a second play through once it’s remastered, looks like DLC is now free too?

 

[MLB]

DLC free for base game owners. I played it first on the PS4, but recently got the complete edition in the steam sale for £6.99.

 

[Hixle]

Easily the best £2.99 I’ve spent. Was on sale inc DLC’s about five years ago and bought it on a whim. My wife, who’s never played a game, has played through it 3 times

Decent marketing strategy actually:

- Release update for free, iron movement/combat bugs out
- get people hooked again in time for the paid DLC next year
- which gets people more hyped for the sequel in 2028

 

[Flat Eric]

Its on the PS Store currently for 30 quid.

Worth the money like?

i assume you will wait for the remastered version?

 

[Flat Eric]

i assume you will wait for the remastered version?

When's this out? Will it not be a free upgrade? I am a nob with all this so forgive my ignorance

 

[MLB]

End of September and I believe I read every 'qualifying copy' will get a free update to the remaster.

So the one on PS store for 30 quid shpuld qualify? I think so?

Second bullet point, looks like it is.

 

[E30kev]

Having to defeat Detlaff again…

 

[Geddes]

I got this a while back, can’t remember how much I got for it. Played it for an hour or so. How long will it take to get use to the controls and buttons. Need a new single player game to get into

I haven’t been properly playing games consistently for years and I managed it.

If it’s been ages then it might be worth starting over and fully committing to it, it’s such a brilliant game.

I’ve amassed a pile of exceptional (but old) games to play as I’ve just not had the time in life to do so until now, just finished the remaster of Red dead redemption this evening.

Yeah , think I’ve seen you on my list on RDR1, not played 1 just 2. As you say need to commit to the Witcher and get use to it. A lot of you saying this is a great game

Witcher 3 new DLC

Definitely interested to see what they do with the combat revamp in this. I'm probably one of the few who thinks the 3rd person view in W3 is one of its biggest weaknesses. It's like your brain, the visuals in front of you, the inputs and the camera view are all battling each other to flow smoothly. When there are plenty of enemies, it gets messy, and not in a good way.

I think a number of the Batman games and the LOTR franchise have done 3rd person view combat, much better than W3. The over-the-shoulder view of ones like Warframe run absolute rings around it in terms of response and accuracy too.

I don't really like button mashing games, and it's been a good while since i played this, but i don't remember it being too complicated, it's take little but of getting used to, and remembering to use things like blade oils to make your sword better etc, i have always been a stealthy gun/sniper player on games, but i really really enjoyed this.

Wait until you have the pleasure of playing Gwent.... it's such a good way to lose hours of your life you can never get back...

 

[Whitetac]

I never got into Gwent first play through but I feel like I must have missed out from how people talk about it!

 

[E30kev]

Aye that’s me
My Witcher save game is on my Series X, currently back playing the PS5 Pro for the foreseeable.

You havent, its f**king diabolical...

 

[Geddes]

If I’m in the mood, might pop in this tomorrow get some practice in. Think I may of already said this but what things do I need to do early in the game to get a good start or just crack on with the story

If you are interested in achievements and 100%...

Make sure you do the scholarly scholar or "scholar" in the White Orchard tavern during the start/prologue. It can be missed if you finish the main objective and leave the area before playing him in Gwent. You need to play and beat him.

Yes this is important, luckily for you @Geddes Gwent is a game of skill, no luck involved what so ever...

I’ll bear that in mind thank you . I’ll play a few hours if if I do play and once the update arrives I’ll restart it
