I'm surprised it took this long for a thread to be made!

God damn, I can't wait for this game to be released. I've pre-ordered two copies - a digital edition and a collectors edition. CDPR have never disappointed me so far, and I really want to support a company that supports its customers'.

boredgunner · Aug 1, 2014

So the downfall of RPGs continues. Unless CDPR does something totally different.

^This, so much of this.
And yeah i was suprised as well thats why i made it.

But anyways lets speculate abit about the game...

how big do you guys think its going to be? CDPR said quite a few different things 20% larger then skyrim, 40% larger then skyrim (i think), 30 times larger then TW2 and then it became even larger then that.
What do you guys believe?

This is supposedly 1 of the area's called Ard Skellg.

And this would be the entire map.

DIYDeath · Aug 2, 2014

That looks huge. Im stoked for Witcher 3.

lol i dont guess getting a copy off ebay counts as preorder tho i only paid 22 for it ebay is flooded with the codes from gpus.

Mudfrog · May 11, 2015

I have it preordered, I started TW2 a few days ago to refresh my memory again.

hamzta09 · May 12, 2015

Seems you cant seamlessly move from one "zone" to another ala Skyrim.

faizreds · May 12, 2015

Just pre order Witcher 3 today. I hope I can finish my new rig before the release date.

Bal3Wolf · May 12, 2015

heads up you can get codes off ebay for 15-24usd just watch the seller i got one for 21 and it was a code from nvdia and reddemed the game to my gog acount. Well i just looked and price has jumped up to 28 and not many selling now people musta sold out already glad i got mine when i did then.

"fun, flexible combat; gorgeous art and visuals; an enormous world to explore; a cast full of well-written and well-acted and sexy characters"

-An enormous world, sure, might be, but kind of a shame its not as open as other games.

"Second half is too easy, frame-rate can affect combat, convoluted interface, some tasteless and weirdly written plot developments"

Bal3Wolf · May 12, 2015

we still havet seen a finished pc review with the day 1 patch most the screen shots people show are from a beta versions not the final.
