Looks amazing ! never played witcher before but might give this one a try! looks AWESOME!

ZodTheRipper3963d ago

You can still play Witcher 2, it's one of the best RPG's this gen and anything else than outdated.

JsonHenry3962d ago

You could probably start from part 2 and not miss too much from part 1. It is hands down one of the best RPGs ever made. The story telling, decision making model, and combat are top tier. Worth every penny.

zeddy3962d ago

i hope people buy it, im going to need my rpg fix on the ps4.

It seems as if they are going the way of Halo 3's ridiculous marketing to get the name of this game out. I never played a Witcher game but I look forward to getting this version as I loved what I saw at E3.

Mariusmssj3962d ago

In all fairness they didn't do any advertisement for first two. No banners, posters on the streets ads on tv and ect.

zeal0us3963d ago

Selling over ~600k copies shouldnt be hard for a title big as this.

Prcko3962d ago

so 600k copies will bring them profit?

NameRemoved00173962d ago (Edited 3962d ago )

They don't make 100% profit they have to pay to ship it, package it and advertise it, realistically they probably need to sell 750k-800k to break even if their going to do advertising.

They make a lot more off the PC version of the game though than the console version since steams fees are much lower and no physical copies are made.

awi59513962d ago

No they will give you the option to buy it directly from them from GOG.com. So that is 100 percent profit for them thats where i buy my witcher game directly from the developer.

Razputin3961d ago

Good thing there are many different ways to sell on the PC.

First of course you need a publisher.

Steam, so I've heard only takes 5%. I do not know if this is entirely true, but you can see what is taken.

GOG.com will obviously be pure profit from them, but I am sure they will use other digital retailers.

But also physical media which I know they will use. So a small percentage will go to whatever publisher they decide to use.

Also one good thing for the PC aspect is that there are no licensing fees, but there is with consoles.

I'd love for them to sell at least 3-5 million copies. And I believe that can at least hit double the mark that they did with The Witcher 2, which sold just over 1mil and that was last year.

So here is to CDProjecktRed and their great success.

It's also good to note, the reason I support these guys is, not only do they offer you a physical copy of the game, or digital to where ever you purchased it from, but they also offer a NO DRM digital copy from their website. Also they do extensive patches and updates to their games.

Both the Witcher titles have "Enhanced Editions" which either add content or fix and patch a lot of issues, and in general add improvements.

I wasn't a huge fan of RPGs but this one for me is by far the only one I could get into and actually enjoy myself.

reef10173962d ago

well they will get my money so only 599,999 more copies to go.

solar3962d ago

i dunno why but CD reminds me of Valve of a company that just wants to makes games, because they make games. they want to tell a story and all the DuckTales fucking money in a big pit is just a side affect. started small with an idea, now wants everyone to share and enjoy and money is an after thought.

AznGaara3962d ago

BUY THIS GAME! Honestly love this series. CD Projekt RED will always have my money.

NameRemoved00173962d ago

Withcer 3 so far makes Skyrim look like crap.

Captain Qwark 93962d ago

The witcher 2 made Skyrim look like crap lol but in all fairness, they are so different I'm not sure its a fair comparison. Fantasy setting, action RPG, those are common grounds bur game play mechanics are wildly different and meant to be that way

Bigpappy3962d ago

Do you know that CD Projekt has high praise for Skyrim. More and more developers are looking Bethesda consistent success with the open world formula and are nom trying to move in that direction. You guys really need to move pass this Bethesda bad on PS3 thing. You are getting PS4 now. I am sure you want Bethesda games on PS4. No?

dktxx23962d ago

Can we please stop pitting every single RPG against each other? The Elder Scrolls and the Witcher both rock.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave12d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan12d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name36d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno36d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno36d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure36d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
