The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Maybe it's because I've just finished it, but that's a quick turnaround on the expansion - delighted!

10 hours for $10 is incredibly generous too, even the best AAA campaign expansions are usually 3 hours for that price.

Don't know the pricing structure for the console versions, but £20 for both (and the second one will be getting on for a 20 hour one), that's darn good stuff. Can't wait

If you have already bought the expansion pass you can gain a code to allow you to pickup two gwent decks (Monsters and Scoia'tael) that will be included the boxed version here - http://redeemgwent.com/

I'll be going for it but I do wish they would make the other sets available too. I missed out on the collectors edition.

Well even though I'm kind of keen to get to the finish now, what with MGSV staring me in the face waiting to be opened, as soon as I get in game, rather than progress the main quests (I'm half way through recruiting allies to defend Kaer Morhen should I successfully lure the Wild Hunt there), I've been instead increasingly fannying about in Valen doing odds and sods. I've now got a sudden urge to get the enhanced Cat gear for when I reach level 23 (I'm level 21, almost 22 at the mo) and at my last save point I was in some underground cavern, having just survived a 'trial of cheeses' (wtf! ), wandering around seeking out the enhanced armour cat school gear diagram. By the time I'm nicely suited up in my enhanced cat school gear I suspect I'll be wanting to fanny about doing something else in game

MGSV for October then

This is £34.99 on PS store this week. I have far too many games to complete and i do prefer retail copies but this is proving very tempting..... please talk me out of a purchase

[RubberJohnny]

I think it's the best RPG that's ever been released, get it.

[BruceBruce]

For some reason I can't update to version 1.08, and steam crashing during the download. Then the download has to restart completely. Is there no way to manually do it?

[davejm]

Pre-order for the Heart of Stone expansion with the Gwent cards...

[dr_manhattan^]

At game?!

I'd read the super Mario maker thread first.

[davejm]

OK, will do. Although I thought it was the only place you could pre-order the physical copy with the Gwent cards. Only reason I'd ever link to GAME.

Pile of shame +1

For those curious, if you've already purchased the expansion pass and you want to use your code to get the boxed copy of Gwent it's £14.23 (£7.99 + £6.24 postage). You're better off buying the PC version from Game (£14.99) and reselling the Hearts of Stone key.

[StephenM]

Are the physical Gwent cards packaged with the boxed expansion as standard? Just wondering if it's essential to pre-order or not.

Came out at £12.80 for me but yeah probably makes more sense if you can be bothered.

[scottcr]

I quite fancy these physical Gwent cards. Are there plans to release a physical card game with packs etc for it? There's no way I'll be ready for the DLC come October but I don't want to miss out on the cards if they are going to be rare.

Minor spoiler question about this big bastard you meet in Velen.

You know, the big bald Witcher from the previous game. Where is he? I accidentally found him early in my first play through but now at 20 I am about to leave for Skellige and have yet to bump into him.

He's in a barn in House Reardan

[df0]

I knew he's in a barn. Thanks for the location

Hmm, he's not there. I have completed the chain with the woman who grew up there, I wonder if that interfered. Or, I think this makes more sense, my simulated The Witcher 2 "choices" messed things up. Poor Letho, I like him.

This is reduced on PC and PS4 this week and I'm thinking of picking it up (it'll sit on the pile for a month or two, but that's OK).

Is general consensus to go with the PC version (good PC, nVidia 970, SSD, 16GB, 1900x1200) or the PS4 version? Which platform does the game feel like it was designed for?

[Talk Show Host]

Your PC is good so go with that. It's also very good on PS4 but since your system can hit 60fps, plus mods, I'd say it's the way to go. No matter what though you shoud be using a controller.

[Radish]

With a PC like that it seems like a pretty easy decision. Not only will it look better but it'll run better too. There are a few nice mods out there, but nothing essential yet. It will be a lot cheaper too (£16 here, possibly cheaper elsewhere).

[Opinionated Ham Scarecrow]

I wish I could mindwipe this game and play it all again. Roll on the DLC.

I'd go with the PC version just so you can use this

For some reason I thought you were going to link a nude mod. Yours is actually useful

I probably wouldn't use this mod at the start of the game, but I really liked it later on.

Thanks. I've also noticed that it's in a bundle with Witcher 1 and 2 for just US$4 more on Steam this weekend.

Thank the lord! I was expecting exactly the same!

I hate being an only pervert

It's down to £14 at cdkeys now if you haven't already picked it up.

Already bought at the old price

Thanks for posting the deal though

[Stolly]

Well I'm at the heady heights of level 26 now fully catted up with enhanced feline gear and swords. I've just sorted out the Isle of Mists and have a full team waiting in KM for the wild hunts arrival. Can't wait

A minor question - I can't find my total time played, well not accurately anyway. Pressing R2 in the character screen tells me laughably 1 day and 2 hours odd and I've played loads and loads more than that. Is this glitched (I know it supposedly overstated hours played at launch)? I'm on the PS4
