hmm in asia its weird. The Game + Expansion pre-order is listed as free instead of 70 dollar.
I have much catching up to do I wasn't really interested in the Witcher 3 until very recently so now I'm consuming all the content I can. Speaking of Witch (gettit?) here's Damien Monnier again in an interview with Game Trailers from the past day or so. This looks to be about an hour long and he's currently explaining how one of the devs just secretly sneaked in hair/beard growth.^yup, that one is very fun to watch. Had seen it a few months back.
The game has gone gold, over a month before release.
Maybe this means early players won't be beta testing it for the first month
They've said they want to avoid a day 1 patch if at all possible because they know there are Witcher fans who aren't always connected. This was in direct response to the increasingly common massive day 1 patches like the 20Gb Master Chief Collection patch.Chances are they are still working on the game and that there may be a day 1 patch.
I can't think of one single game that didn't have a day 1 patch when I started it on PS4. It's really normal these days. It's bad when it's a few GB worth of day 1 patch.@Silent_Buddha please no day 1 patch....
Also my greatest worry. W2 combat was extremely clunky, but this looks like it has tighter controls.Will be getting this.. but the combat leaves a lot to be desired. Seems like a rehash of W2.
A lot of people have played this now and the combat system is often described as being somewhere between Assassin's Creed and Arkham Knight. Swordplay is generally described as being very fluid, as are ranged and magical attacks. Many have said the dodge and counter system are tricky to master but counter systems in general, other than AC, are often described as being tricky. I think it's generally a case of learning the visual cues and mastering then over time.Also my greatest worry. W2 combat was extremely clunky, but this looks like it has tighter controls.
agreed, at least from watching the gameplay videos is looks like it reads. Luckily it's on GOLD sale this week.... I really should finish Pillars before starting this one though lol. And I really should start programming my own game, lol but this game looks devilishly good.A lot of people have played this now and the combat system is often described as being somewhere between Assassin's Creed and Arkham Knight.

Just looking at videos of Witcher 2 and Witcher 3 and watching the man in action, the latest game looks more flowing and fluid.

My main concern was the same animations over and over again. It looks like that's still the case. Several videos have shown him doing the same turnaround slash. It has got to have variety at least rivaling Shadow of Mordor in order for me to consider it a step up from W2.
No Shadow of Mordor but an improvement over Witcher 2. It's not a fighting game like Shadow of Mordor, it's an RPG with fighting.
