My body is ready!

[Fist-Of-Freedom]

I'm trying SO hard not to get overhyped - I've been let down too much these past 2 years.

But... my body is ready...

[leafs43]

Already pre-purchase both game and expansion pass.


Staying away from the hype train because I don't want to ruin the experience for myself.

Having never played a witcher game should I start from the first 1?

You won't have time to beat Witcher 1 and 2 before 3 is released. They are long games.

Just go with 2 as it explains the events of 1 in teh opening.

"Is it 1358 yet?" - Vampyr

"No" - Geralt

"Then **** off" - Vampyr


I died.

[Miraak]

Do not want/10... Was what I thought before watching that video.. Holy sheeeeeeeeeet. Couldn't get into Witcher 2 and I didn't even install Witcher 1.. Is this game for me?

Really can't put my finger on why now, maybe the fukin long ass cut scenes.. Only have 6.2 hours on record according to steam.

[CoreMaster75]

Can't ****ing wait. It's painful waiting for it, it still feels so far away

No, first one is too dated IMO, 2nd one was one of the best games I've ever played.

Witcher 3 will probably be similar. The gameplay will be amazing, but you have to immerse yourself in it/listen to the story to truly enjoy it. I usually do immerse myself, but Witcher requires a bit more attention than all other games, I realized this once I got to an early decision in the Witcher 2 and was pissed because I didn't pay enough attention to the smaller conversations to know which side I liked more since neither was truly good or bad. I went back a bit and paid explicit attention throughout the game and my god, it was a 10/10. I just remember thinking about how good it was for months after I finished the game.

Looks amazing, seeing a lot of good ideas from other games blended in.


My body is ready.

[InstantLoser]

My Titans are ready.

So much HNNNNNNG

[Miraak]

still waiting for a (decent, e.g. non-powercolor) 290x to be $200. thought it would have happened last year. might just say fukkit and grab a 390x

How much will the 390x be? Downloading the high quality version of the trailer.

Ready for no life starting may 19

Not sure whether to pick this up on ps4 or pc. Gonna be using a controller anyways and I'm not a graphics whore. wut do

Wait for the reviews to ensure the PS4 doesn't have FPS issues.
If it doesn't PS4.
If it does, PC (I assume you're an Nvidia card owner so you probably won't have issues with the PC version).

PC will have it's own host of issues but if you don't care about graphics it won't matter. Those issues will effect those hitting the top end of graphics is my guess. Nothing as bad as AC Unity I pray.

[tential]

probably $500-600. hoping amd bundles some games with it too, would be nice to get gta5 and witcher3 hehe

This... But I'm guessing the 390x will be faster than the GTX Tian X (easily IMO). Which is why the GTX 980 Ti is set to be released afterwards. So Nvidia can accordingly make sure they have the GPU crown. God Nvidia's business tactics are so phucking flawless right now compared to AMD....

Aww phuck bye

I have a 4790k and a 970 and a 1440p monitor

Only reason I say no to PC for you is you say you don't care about graphics and if the FPS is stable on PS4 why bother? I prefer to sit on the couch and game though.
If it was me, I take PC. But I also don't have a choice... I don't console game. I PC game connected to an HDTV.

However, an argument to make for the PC version is that you can buy it now, play through it at decent settings, then come back to it again when you have a Pascal GPU (You'll get one....), and play it at the highest settings that GPU can stomach.

Edit: that's just my recommendation though, I'm sure you know enough to make a decision.

[HarpoonBrah]

fuarkkkk

gonna be a good year

Witcher 3
Batman
Black Ops 3
Dying Light was decent as well
MGS5
Assassins Creed has a chance of not being trash like Unity

[Kumquatv1]

I need a better GPU but my plan is to play this on the PS4 because upgrading my computer will break me. Eventually I will upgrade the computer and it will be dirt cheap for a collectors edition on GOG. Then I will crank up Ubersampling and grab my dick.
