    I’ll just wait for the Witcher 4 patch 2.0, which will release after 3 years from the original release date and will actually contain the advertised game.

      I just finished four endings and am now grinding side missions. Through oner 90h of great gameplay, I had like 5 bugs (1 crash, 1 person walking on air, 1 body that rolled away like a car, 1 car stuck spinning wheels on a flat surface, 15 cases of “summoning” a car to see it dropping upside down 30 meters away)
      I’ve seen worse in terms of bugs, and it’s an interesting game with tons of content and different ways to build your character.

        Yeah, yeah, we know they fixed the bugs but did they fix the game? Do cops still exclusively spawn behind you so you can escape them by driving in a straight line?

          They also appear on some streets ahead - they are usually avoidable if you look at minimap all the time, but it’s definitely not “just behind”

            Interesting. I just looked it up and it seems they completely revamped the entire police system. It light finally be time for me to give it another shot.

          Occasionally we get the odd tech update but they consider it basically finished now.

          But the tl:dr is

          • Bugs fixed

          • Optimized

          • Gameplay enhanced

          • Dlc is amazing

            There’s DLC?! With the state the game launched in I wouldn’t even buy it, they honestly lost my trust

    Just in time for me to actually play Witcher 3, I’m starting this weekend. I wasn’t big on Witcher 2 and just never got around to 3 until now.

      if you’re on pc. get the friendly ui mod and try to hide the mini map and use 3d maps marker instead. immersion is so much better

    Great - what am I supposed to do with this? Hope it’s not as shit as the rest of the UE5 games or Cyberpunk? Hope my hardware can run it? Have they learnt nothing from Cyberpunk? Like STFU and maybe show people things when it’s ready?

      Nothing. Not every information needs to be actionable by its receivers. Do not get hyped up but know there will be a next installment and wait till they show something.

        Yeah - and us consumers don’t need every fucking milestone painted out either. We didn’t back this. Show it to us when it’s time or get the fuck out of my feed. But watch how they’ll go down the cyberpunk route and build hype over 7 years again to deliver a broken piece of shit on launch. Why? Because they made so much money last time doing it.

          I have never seen someone so upset that there’s gaming news in the gaming community

            I do understand the reaction somewhat though… It’s these kinds of news that gets people hyped for a game and leads to the sort of pressure that might make a launch fail as it did with Cyberpunk

              Announcing a game is not over-hyping. If you can’t control yourself that a simple announcement that a game is in production makes you have a meltdown, then probably they shouldn’t be browsing the gaming community, where this kind of news is expected

                Help me solve my dilemma - I do want to hear about new exciting releases/reviews of upcoming games but I also don’t want news of announced games which are 5+ years away. And especially don’t want to hear about every little morsel of info they throw your way in the 5 year build up only to launch disastrously and then keep us in the news cycle for another 2-3 years where they advertise how they are fixing their game only to turn around and ask for more money to sell you an expansion. How do I just focus on the good ones?

                  Honestly it just sounds like you don’t enjoy reading news about games, and that’s fine, but this one is a good announcement
