That’s how you do what? Lie?
If you just have purchased the base game without the DLCs, you will receive the DLCs for free. Really awesome.
Absolutely insane how little it takes for people to worship a mega corporation that was caught abusing employees and publicly lying for years just the other day.
I wonder why the video game industry is so bad.
apolitical gamers being apolitical but will cry when they get fired from their jobs because they have no idea what class solidarity is because that is too political
free shit == good
I’ll be happy for a free update to a game I already bought long ago. Can’t take back the purchase anyway, might as well take the freebie.
Oh damn i didn’t knew about that, thx
And all their games are on PC at launch.
And I appreciate those early PC players for beta testing the games for CDPR.
Man, it’s getting a fucking free expansion with 20-40 hours gameplay… (to connect witcher 3 and 4)
The last two W3 DLCs were extremely good. They’re going to be motivated for this one. I just hope the no delays crowd and the needs to be perfect at launch crowds can work things out.
Spoiler alert: the no delays crowd is wrong.
Didn’t witcher 3 already get a remaster a few years ago?
Yeah, we had a first remaster but what about second remaster?

in image form
I don’t think they know about second remaster.
What about revamped? Enhanced? Definitive Edition? Refreshed? They know about them, don’t they?
Gets hit by a thrown high res texture pack mod
Not a full remastere, it got a “RTX” upgrade? They added ray tracing and stuff but they kept the same assets otherwise (no new models, textures, etc).
reremasterer
Impressive, very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s remaster.
Yes, I was a bit underwhelmed. Let’s see how this turns out
Prepare to be whelmed
Underwhelmed is an understatement. The remaster traded the beautiful art direction of the original for shitty upscaled textures and ray tracing. I genuinely prefer the look of the original, let alone the much better performance. The original is playable on a potato (it even reaches 60fps on an overclocked Nintendo switch) and still looks great
The game looks way better to me with RT, especially interior areas.
Tbf though it looked good enough on release that no one would rebuy it anyway…
If they really want to remaster something it would make more sense to do witcher 1 or 2…
They are remaking Witcher 1
my thoughts too. it’s not that big of a remaster to take money for it
the graphics have been updated recently and the gameplay tweaks are not that extensive
i think they are just refreshing the game a bit before releasing the new dlc
My poor old PC and card were already struggling before the remaster. Now it won’t be able to play it at all and I can’t afford to upgrade cuz every PC part costs a mortgage.
Just build your own transistors out of mica you sift from your local stream, dude. Seriously. I’m tired of hearing all these complaints about the unavailability of computer parts. Back in my day we used to build our own computers out of whatever scraps we found in the fridge from last night’s dinner. Kids these days just need to bootstrap themselves some high-performance GPUs and stop complaining.
(/S, in case it wasn’t obvious)
Hah… “bootstrap”
I see what you did there.
No pun intended
Well, now I just feel silly
Weren’t the extra graphics from the remaster update an optional setting?
The previous one was, yes, so I’d guess they’re going in the same direction here
It might make some effects more efficient too, depending how it’s implemented now and was previously, so it might be worth trying again and messing with the settings…
Settings low? Or is that not enough?
I’m sorry for your loss if it isn’t.Feels unfair if you don’t want the upgrade. It should be an optional dlc or something.
Is it confirmed to be an update to the existing game or a separate game added to your account?
Rockstar did the same with gta v enhanced edition where it was added to your steam account for free but you can still play the original one as well.
The original game is a optional update you can install. Similar I assume this will also just be the new default with the upgraded graphics and original graphics being optional installs / betas
I don’t understand the confusion. The remaster IS optional. It’s only required if you want to play the new DLC that is releasing
Great! That’s good then.
This and the new DLC makes me hope that CP2077 might get a second DLC sometime.
Sames. Phantom Liberty was fucking solid.
Got it on sale for a few bugs. Never played. Maybe I should start over.
Bought it on Switch, played a bit and never got that far.
Bought it on GOG too, played even less. It’s cool that save sync works between them.
I, too, hope to start over and actually play it through this time. I’m definitely going to like it, it’s just hard to get in the habit of playing it and it’s not the kind of game you can just casually launch every couple of months.
which store accepts bugs, and what kind of bugs are we talking about?
Sorry autocorrect. bucks.
i was hoping for a funny response ._.
OK how about paid with 3 steam-fly’s on gog-bug.
that’s much better. i’ll have to look into that
catching a few steam-flies outside for buying games is great exercise and less monetary expenses.
thanks for the infomation!
I never really got in to the game. It was a bit too open and easy to go off the rails and then have trouble getting back to things.
Sorry I killed your child and charged you for it. Gwent?
Most of my playthroughs end up being Gwent runs.
I have the opposite problem lol, I dont like playing geralt i rather play my own character like in skyrim
I never really got into “roll your own character” games. I was never creative enough and would always get stuck on that. Probably why I never got into D&D.
They could let us customize the MCs appearance like in Mass Effect. I just can’t get into a story where I’m playing as a symbol of hypermasculinity.
I was kind of hoping they’d do that with Witcher 4. I’m still excited to pay as Ciri but that was my favorite idea for Witcher 4. I don’t know how you’d tie it into the series though.
Eh I’m a guy who always play the female characters so that doesn’t help either lol
i like to be able to customize my characters some and i really like goolocks in 5e. i am having so much trouble with will’s storyline in bg3. i’ve dipped in act 2 due to hey look a squirrel like 5 times now.
My exact issue with games like this. I either railroad myself to the main story into a series of minimap points and never see the world, or i get so lost in the world i never do the 2nd main story mission and get bored
I had the same problem at first but when I started mixing it started to be more fun. And the great thing is that you can do most quests even when you are done with the main story. So you can just do the main story and then explore the world later. I also found that the main story led you through the world quite well.
Cool i bought it years ago and am yet to play.
I never finished the first one and can’t bring myself to skip ahead or play the enhanced edition when I know a remaster is around the corner. I have a feeling that once that happens, there’s going to be a solid year where it’s all I play and just blaze through the entire series.
Should be smacking Nintendo. I would have bought a Switch 2 on day one just to play my Switch 1 games with slightly better performance. Now I’m just skipping the console on principle.
I’d like to smack Bethesda for making zero content mod breaking updates multiple times a year, and Steam too for forcing those updates on a 10+ year old single player game. At this point they have killed the modding scene in favor of paid mods and hyping up their fucking TV show.
SMACK
Wait. Are you telling me switch 2 can play my physical switch 1 games? Thats insane.
I have a good deal for the online expansion through a family plan and I heard they also don’t let me use the GameCube emulator on switch 1!
I don’t own one but I think so. The issue the OP here is talking about is they want you to purchase a $10-$20 “upgrade” to take advantage of the better performance of the Switch 2.
Thats incredibly stupid and anti consumer.
Medallion’s humming.
Damn, you’re ugly!
just once i want to see a witcher run off and cry to that
why do we need remasters before the next installment of a game?
between super mario 64 and super mario world we got super mario rpg. nowadays we have to wait until 12 of our daughters get married to play a new title in the series when we started playing the game in elementary school.
would it have really killed the gta/fallout franchise owners to spend a few bucks to create a half-assed in between title? they would have generated massive income even if those games sucked.
I don’t entirely agree with you there. If it’s been a long time between two installments, you generally want to replay the old one first and it’s nice to have the option to play a remastered version if it’s been done well.
would it have really killed the gta/fallout franchise owners to spend a few bucks to create a half-assed in between title?
That kills the hype for the next game because everyone goes “oh they’ve lost it”, meaning possibly more work for less money if the highly anticipated game sells less because of it.
So I don’t know how to tell you this, but what exactly do you think fallout New Vegas was?
What’s the connection to Big W?
“W” as in “Win”. So it’s a “Big Win”
No no, they definitely meant one of these:
W
