Witcher 3 pre-order up.

»www.gog.com/thewitcher3/en

$60 if you don't own nay witcher games, $51 if you own one, $48 if you own both. Comes with some free games if you pre-order form gog and some other cool stuff. I'm temped since I don't know how long the $48 price will last and I do own both the first games.

Don't think it does, but I'm okay with that I'd prefer to just use the drm free gog version myself

True, but I like having stuff saved on Steam... either way I'm good I'll probably pre-order shortly

It's from GOG, so no. It's a DRM free game requiring no other software or client.

Definitely taking advantage of this. I'm generally not a big fan of pre-ordering anymore, but the Witcher series gets a pass, especially since it's $12 off. I have the previous titles on Steam, but you can add fee backup copies to your gog account to get the discount. Sweet!

I figured as much, as I bought the first Witcher game on GOG, but I added the second game to my GOG account, so I'll be getting a good discount if I order it from GOG.

I'm probably going to go that route as well.

By the way, in case someone didn't notice, they also released a new trailer with the pre-order.

Hah, his face is the first things that really caught my attention. He looked 'cool' before... but now he looks like a real badass.

He looks pretty slick.

I was trying to go for a Geralt-as-hippie-therefore-not-qualified-to-slay-monsters troll, but the beard grew on me after the second viewing.

Normally I don't do collectors editions either, but that figurine has me drooling.

That's pretty awesome looking, my children would destroy it in seconds, but I can admire it from afar.

No pre-order from me. They fucked up many things with TW2 at launch, notably:

-A very pretty but UTTERLY USELESS MINI-MAP! I would have fired whoever programed and designed this.
-No storage for the trillion of mats
-An unsatisfactory crafting system that was for show more than actually useful
-An unbalanced and unoptimized difficulty curve
-One of the shittiest inventory system I've seen next to vanilla Skyrim, which is surprising because the system in TW1 was perfect -- old school, but perfect.

I have faith in CDProjekt but they will have to prove themselves first this time. And all the bonus they're giving out is fluff anyway, fluff which will be made available to all eventually.

Inventory and drinking potions out of combat only was really annoying but the story was so damn good and combat was amazing.

Witcher 3 pre-order is up on Steam. They're doing the same deal, 15% off if you already own TW2...

Cool, I already ordered it on GOG but this is good news, I'm really happy about the discount if you own previous games.

GoG didn't recognize my Witcher Enhanced Edition key although it did recognize Witcher 2. I may just get it off of Steam then.

I really don't like the inventory system, so I'm hoping it'll be better in TW3.

Considering combat is trying to be more or less realistic it makes sense that you can't drink potions while in combat, despite it being annoying from a gaming perspective.

I think an adequate compromise from a gaming/realism perspective would be something like if you're far enough away from the action, you can drink a potion you put in your pocket ahead of time, or some similar mechanic.

All in all, I find combat in The Witcher to be pretty satisfying despite sucking so badly at it, so I wouldn't want to dumb it down too much.

Pre-ordered as well (still playing through 2 though...will be getting to it shortly after going through DSLR...).

Just wanted to point out that the GOG version includes a lot more bonus content compared to Steam ATM with the hint of even more...

If they had a physical copy I'd be all over it, I've got a boxed copy of tw2 with the sound track and user guide still unopened and in the shrink rap and kinda want to get tw3 the same way.

How the game turns out remains to be seen, but so far general movement seems to have been improved greatly, and combat seems to be "lower maintenance" for lack of a better explanation.

The equipment menu on the other hand doesn't look like it's been improved from TW2, at least from what I can see.

In case no one already realized this, Charles Dance voices the Emperor of Nilfgaard's character.
