If you missed out on this gem then it's definitely worth picking up.

Well as for the reasons: saves not carrying over seems like a waste of a reason. I'd wager it's a very small percentage of people that bought the game, started it, and either sold or damaged the disc. I guess maybe there are people that would buy it for the expansions but buying them separately is still cheaper. and this is also countered by a new trophy list.
Saying it's a massive time commitment doesn't seem right either, not when you praise it for the value proposition. If you've been waiting on this collection, you've done your research and already know what to expect in terms of it's size.
On the flip side, I'm not sure how being able to start the expansions right away is that big a plus. more of a foot note really.

All that said, there's very few games I could recommend over witcher 3's complete edition. Off the top of my head the last of us the only one I can think of. Witcher 3 is just that good.

Ya those reasons not to buy are pretty damn stupid. This game is so good you'll spend a lot of time on it!!! Do not buy!

There are no reasons not to buy this amazing title. If you buy it youd only be doing yourself a favor. This game is pure gold through and through.

I Buy this game 3times and I'm not regret that.

yeahright22881d ago

Yeah I've bought it twice. Honestly I felt the game was worth more than the original asking price, I had the cash so I figured why not toss a few more bucks CDPR's way. my way of thanking them for giving me one of my favorite games of all time.

kbozz712881d ago

Same here, once on pc and twice on xbone. The disk got messed up on the xbox, so I bought it again digital. No, I don't regret it.

A huge community exists online now for those seeking full completion of their favorite games, but it seems that not everybody can join in on the fun.

Everytime someone says difficulty is bad because it isolate disabled people I feel like it's an excuse because made by someone who wants to have their work done for them, you talk about how much you dislike something and then add a little "I'm talking for the sake of disabled people", also I think it's a bit disrespectful to think that disabled people can't do what others do, you have someone beating Malenia with his mouth or her feet!

Also after reading this article I feel like you don't want completion to be tied to everything in the game (which includes difficulty settings), it's called completion, yet you want to be one without actually completing it?

If an achievement or trophy is too much for me I simply don't do it. I can complete the game 100% without playing in Nightmare mode-if it's too hard for me (or will take too long like the witcher 3).
Then there is the BS achievement mentioned for FF9 jump rope which I will never waste my time on.

My OCD may act up if something is not complete, but my patience will over power my OCD with ridiculous tasks.

Having said all that, achievements have gotten more relaxed in the last few years as gamers tend to want to complete all of them (due to the platinum trophy), when before they were designed to give you a score-to make you want to try more games like in an arcade. So, focus more on relatively modern games and your OCD will suffer less.

Lots of hobbies are inaccessible. Do you think everyone has the steady hands to build ships in bottles?

But nobody is accusing ship bottling conventions of being exclusionary. That’s just a difficult hobby that nobody cares about.

Every hobby becomes exclusionary at some point. I didn’t feel welcomed to my school’s basketball team. If I wanted to play basketball, I had to join a recreational team.

Why erase a challenge for all at the benefit to a very, very few?
