Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. We Skyrim Now.

One of the great regrets in my life was being too drunk to understand how to play during the tutorial so never learning how to play

 

You get a second opportunity at life!

 

Once you figure it outs it’s so good. I’ve never collected all the cards before. This play through I’m determined.

 

It's hard for me to not use Northern Realms deck. So OP

 

It’s the best for sure. Nilfgaardian is pretty OP also. So many 10 pointers and ways to pull cards back.

 

Welp, getting about time for another replay with all this talk. Still haven’t tried doing a new game+, might give it a go.

 

What’s the point of game+ again? I swear I’ve asked before but just don’t get it.

 

Not sure how Witcher does it, but its a New Game Save with all your power ups and stuff available from the start?

 

Just adds new flavor to a replay; saves you having to search for all of the potions and oils, but with the upgrades in armor, still gives you reason to explore to find new diagrams.

 

When that happens, I'll play it through again.

 

Well, I can start in White Orchard with Master Ursine gear and look like a badass. That's pretty cool.

 

That's basically why I do it. Sometimes I just want to enjoy the story again and not have to worry about gear and all that.

 

Don’t think I ever played the original. Started it, but was a little rough on PC.

 

I tried once but it wasn't great.

 

This is a game that will actually benefit from it. The original didn't have great gameplay and also has sort of a weird camera angle.

 

I also own the original and gave up after about 15 mins.

 

Sounding like the Next Gen version of Witcher 3 could be sooner than December

 

It will drop the same day as GoW Ragnarok because of course.

 

One month!!

 

Finally! I've been holding off on another playthrough for so long.

 

same.

 

Sooo, cross progression is nice since I bought this on PC now. Do I do a New Game + or just start from scratch?

 

Less than a week away now.

 

I can't fucking wait to get that old lady her pan back.

Spoiler

I love that you can pretty much figure out that it was Thaler that stole her pan.

 

“FOUND THE PAN, HAVE YE??”

 

Work computer is down, replacement is 1-2 weeks out. Oh what unfortunate timing

 

Last day off is tomorrow, a real shame the PS release isn’t until Wednesday. That’s dumb.

 

Anyone fire it up yet? I am currently getting 11mb/s for the update with their launcher.

 

Download isn't live on PS5 yet.

 

It's gorgeous. Getting around 50-65 fps on RT+Ultra, but I need to lower some to make it a bit more steady.

Have a feeling the console edition will be pretty damn smooth.

 

I didn't realize this was going to happen on my ps4. Watching community while it downloads.

 

I don't think they changed anything visually on the PS4. Just added the new armors and what not.

 

If it's a Pro he should get some visual upgrades I believe.

 

Didn't expect to play this until tomorrow, but Oh man I am so fucking ready. 'Bout to fire it up.

 

This game looks really damn good on PS5. Even compared to what it looked like when I was running it on max settings on my PC years ago. The vegetation is a lot more dense now. Lighting seems to have received an overhaul as well. And everything just looks sharper.

 

Also like the new camera angle more.

 

So I should get it?

 

Yes

 

Definitely. Especially if you've never played it. If you have then it's free so why not.

 

I had it on my old console. So I would have to buy again.

 

I bought the mass effect remaster and it was with every penny on the replay

 

Same

 

I do too, but I'm getting worked on death march from stuff that's behind me. I haven't adjusted yet. Might keep the new camera for exploration and move back to the old one for combat.

 

Would that require a manual switch out through a menu, or is there a quick button switch for this (I would be on console, FWIW)?

 

You can choose which camera to use for combat and exploration in the menu. I think it's under game play. It'll switch cameras automatically.
