Sweet another addition to my 15+ year old account I only made because of the first humble bundle. I really tried putting effort into one and two, but they never gripped me. Hopefully I can find time to invest in this guy.
The trilogy is only $7.49 btw.
There’s a bundle that includes the first two games for like an extra buck I think. Buy them and then never play them.
The bundle is $7.49. I just saw it but already have the first two.
or be like me, play Witcher 1, then play other stuff for 12 years, then start replaying it again to go through the whole series this time, then take a 6-months break 2 chapters in… 😅 (yea, I have issues)
I wish I had the patience to like this game. It seems so well made.
Complete edition is 100% worth. The dlc is crazy long and excellent.
Don’t worry if you didn’t get that discount this time. They have this exact one all the time. At least on GOG.
I got it free from epic a few years ago.
it took me a couple attempts at W3 before i really got into it, but after that i played all the way through. as a habitual game DNFer. it’s a masterpiece
I got the worst the ending. I should really replay it with a guide some day.
If you got the one where everyone dies, yeah you should probably replay it and at least have a short list of the specific scenes/choices that determine the “best” ending(It’s 5 or so and I think you only need to get 3 or 4 “correct”).
There are also some “hidden” endings to quest chains, where the best outcome is only available if you do a seemingly unrelated quest first or make certain choices early in the chain. Or quests that wouldn’t naturally line up until certain choices are made. So if you’re interested in getting all the best outcomes, a full guide is needed.
Note that some of the "hidden chain outcomes might be bugs, so at least one isn’t always listed in all guides:
If you free the whispering hillock spirit before talking to the village leader, it prevents Anna from turning later and the game acts as if the kids are safe(although they don’t show up where they otherwise would).
I think I’ve played the opening scene a dozen times. I know it’s gonna be good, but I never go back to playing it.
i don’t remember what the threshold was for me, it might have been having to defend the bloody baron from mobs while he’s carrying his undead monster infant to a burial spot-- the sort of thing that would make me say wow, that’s about the most warped thing i’ve seen in a game-- i need to see the whole thing!
35 years old and this is one of the most overrated franchises I’ve ever touched.
I’m so patient I haven’t played The Witcher 1 or 2 either. Should I get W3 Complete + W1 + W2 for 9.99 + 1.49 + 2.99 = 14.47, or get the trilogy bundle with only the W3 base game for 1.49 + 2.99 + 3.99) * 0.9 = 7.62 and wait for the W3 expansions to be more than 70% at some future date? (In other words, are W1 and W2 likely to keep me busy for a long time, and does a playthrough of W3 need the expansions installed at the start or is it more of a ‘complete the base game and then to the expansion content afterward’ sort of thing?)
Also, are “The Witcher Adventure Game” and “Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales” worthwhile/important?
I didn’t much like W1 and W2. Especially W2 feels like it’s on rails. The story is pretty good though.
I only played W2 and W3. W2 was not necessary to play the third one, but it’s certainly not a bad game (I personally didn’t like it as much due to the fairly linear story telling). W1 I am told is not that great. Both are much shorter than the complete edition of Witcher 3 I’d argue. The DLC should be fine if added afterwards, I can wholeheartedly recommend both. Blood & Wine especially has received wide praise back then as “being a whole game in the shape of a DLC” .
Thronebreaker is a tales-game that I haven’t had the time for yet. I was told it’s solid.
The Witcher Adventure Game is essentially a board game and is absolutely not necessary for any of the other games. If you like board games and have people to play it with, it’s actually quite good. It has a bit of a learning curve and I very much recommend reading or watching whatever tutorial you can grab a hold of, because it is not all that intuitive.
I wish Cyberpunk went under -60% off. I don’t tend to buy stuff over -80% sale, so more patience for me… 😅
I was a day one purchaser of CP2077 and played it on a rebuilt $30 PS4. I guess I just got lucky in that I had almost no bugs, not even a t pose, and it maybe crashed three times in the twentyish hours of my first playthrough. But I remember seeing it on sale for like $10 at Walmart not a month or two after release. Like they got shovelware bullshit they don’t discount like that!
