There were a few threads about it last night.

Pretty comfy to be honest, really makes me sad that it's the last we'll see of Geralt and probably the Witcher universe.

Hopefully Cyberpunk holds up to the hype, CD are the only devs I still have faith in.

Hilarious. No one gives a shit about this series enough to warrant caring about this anniversary/video at all, seriously.

They act like they've made fire or something.

Who's oldest and youngest among Eskel, Lambert, and Geralt?

I think its kind of cool. CDPR obviously care about the series quite a lot. The video is nice, and a little nod and thank you to people who bought the first game. Most devs don't really acknowledge a milestone like this, much less thank their audience while celebrating it.

The success of this series still baffles me.

I don't think the Witcher series was a bad series by any stretch of the imagination, but holy fuck the Witcher trilogy has sold more than 25 million copies and the Witcher 3 alone made more than $250 million in pure profit.

Shame they're trying so hard to push Gwent now instead of focusing all that money into making Cyberpunk something truly amazing. I genuinely have no idea how they are going to be able to top themselves with Cyberpunk, people are going to have sky high expectations after the Witcher 3 (and will undoubtedly be disappointed with whatever we end up with as a final product).

>>389310980

News Flash: They're out for money, that's all. Cyberpunk is another un-original adaptation they'll be doing as well. Once they become big enough, eventually you'll be buying their microtransactions and Paid Mods in the future too, so shut the fuck up you brain dead little twerp.

>>389312654
Thanks for your cash and how we re-used 100% traditional slavic folk songs (but got away with it, cuz Americans are none the wiser) and also copied a book series that wasn't original in any way, shape or form.

The Witcher 3 is game of the generation. I'll be eagerly awaiting 2077.

Anyone who thinks CDPR is going to stop making The Witcher games after the incredible success of Wild Hunt is a naive idiot. They made a card game for fuck's sake. They're going to milk this cow over the next 10+ years. I guarantee it.

>>389311246
Eskel and Geralt are roughly the same age. Lambert is a witcher-generation younger.

>>389319289
CD are going to turn in Bethesda aren't they?

>>389319380

We'll see what happens with Cyberpunk. CDPR are at a turning point, whether they can hold onto their integrity or not remains to be seen.

I don't like the Witcher series because I don't care for the source material much and the game had some bad design / mechanics that really grated me the wrong way. I get why its popular and it deserves to be. But it shouldn't really be lauded as this perfect game series because its not.

>>389319289

Witcher's going to continue to be milked, but at this point the two guys who've been writing the games (who I think are Marcin Blacha and Sebastian Stepien) have probably run dry regarding the Witcher-verse.

Witcher WILL continue to be milked, though, because Sapkowski is a businessman. IIRC there's a Netflix series on the way.

>>389318567
Geralt's hair turned white as a result of the mutations though...

>>389319796

Sapkowski has nothing to do with the games.

Given the context of the thread and your talking points, it is easy to see that you were implying he was.

>>389319805
i know. point was that eskel was there to witness it, meaning he must be as old as geralt or older.

>>389320052

How? I explicitly mentioned the guys who I recall as being the games writers, guys who are not Sapkowski.

you're delusional if you think there won't be another Witcher game eventually. It might not star Geralt, but Witcher 3 sold 11 million copies, they're not going to just let the franchise die.

That assumes Cyberpunk ever actually comes out.

>>389320052
You're dumb. He's mentioning Sapkowski-milking in the same breath as the games because the license was only given out for a bit of drinking money, Andzrej had zero confidence in the quality of the product and, in the way only a Pole can react, felt cheated because he wasn't given a residual on something he expected no residuals on.

>>389320210

It doesn't matter that he isn't the writer, you said the series will continue to be milked because he's a businessman. This thread is specifically about the series as a video game medium, and saying "Witcher will continue to be milked" without further context can easily be construed as you talking about the games. Mentioning Netflix doesn't help either, it could very easily be based on the stories told in the game series rather than based on the actual books.

The Witcher is a good series, but it's sort of masturbatory to try to hype up its anniversary like anyone outside of GOG developers should care. I mean, did BioWare try to hold Dragon Age anniversary? Actually they might've at a con and run a sexplay party with fully gay trannies.

>>389320562

Making my text green doesn't change that fact. Do we know anything about the series other than that it exists?

>>389320591

Dragon Age has soured the vast majority of it's fans, and Bioware as a whole has not been very popular lately. Witcher has no bad blood anywhere, except with a few autists of /v/, so this kind of anniversary celebration is not out of place.

>>389320630

I like CDPR because they released all 3 Witcher games physically with no DRM. I've never played them, but I bought all 3 out of appreciation for them releasing their games in the only proper format to sell a game.
I can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077 and I will be definitely buying the physical copy of that.
Shame about GOG though.

I just got the ending where radovid takes over the north, ciri becomes a witcher, emhyr gets stabbed by his own people and geralt lives with triss all rich in kovir. Best ending ever.

>>389322659

Cyberpunk is their next stage. They saw Witcher III as a means to really establish themselves with a reputation for quality to a decent sized audience. Gwent is a side project, they're still hiring for Cyberpunk if you look on the website. They know Cyberpunk is to be something of a magnum opus. They know what they need to do. Pondsmith putting faith in them gives me confidence, let alone the quality of Witcher III.

He grouses over being stupid enough to let the IP go for a pittance, but he doesn't hate them. He does hate the thought that there are people who don't realize the books were first or even that the books exist. He doesn't bear a grudge against CDPR though.

I played Witcher at release and I liked it.

Witcher 3 is pure fucking cancer of a game, completely ruined the series for me.

So I don't give a fuck about their little circle-jerk about how good of a company they are, employees there had a lot to say about how "good" they are.

Also they could have released something useful, liken the Mod kit they lied that they would release instead some mastrubatory fanfiction that would give the original author a heart attack

>>389324774

Your taste is questionable, but you have a very valid point about them abandoning the Modkit.

>>389324774
Witcher 3 set the bar so high this gen it'll never be topped. Bioware and Bethesda already failed

>>389324867
I have an idea about it, their cutscene system is too valuable, if they let full access to it it would be reverse engineered to hell by everyone in the business.
Bethesda can give editors because you can't do nothing of value with them.

>>389324796
All Witcher books were somber and Sapkowsk ended the books as tragically as possible. Do you retards actually believe he would like this happy reunion party bullshit where everyone lives happily ever after?

>>389324951
The graphics, the vastness of the open world and technology are already better in RDR2. And that's all TW3 had going for it. Cry some more dronie

>>389325102

There is no "cutscene system " you fucking retard, it was hundreds of people being in crunch time for a year animating every useless side quest the brain dead writers could come up with

>>389324951
>Witcher 3 set the bar so high
Did it really though? It wasn't a fun game to play for me. Sometimes bad combat can still be fun if it has other parts that make it fun, but all 3 Witcher games have had bad gameplay. I don't play games for the story either so none of the games have anything to offer me.

>>389325656
Witcher 3 sets the standard for casual open world trash where as long as you have good graphics and 'muh feel's plot you can get away with having every quest be a follow the line type of ordeal.

>>389325395
These things are already better in GTA V. It looks better, it's better optimized and the technology is better.

And that's a last gen game with some graphical improvements.

RDR is gonna blow Witcher 3 out of the water in the only good thing the game did.

>/v/ hates witcher 3 cause it's popular and a good game but not as good as that 2d RPG in 1993

>>389325656

You clearly haven't read A Season of Storms. Fan translation to English is out, it's good. It's both a prequel to the other novels, even the 1st, and a epitaph for the series. Even without it, it was left deliberately vague if Geralt was dead or not - either way, he was with her and was happy.

KYS you cringy fuck.

Also there are many other quests that can only be accessed by giving people the correct item, or just running into the quest giver at the correct time of day.

Witcher 3 didn't have either of these systems, no interaction with the crowd trough items, and people will have picnics with their family at 2Am if it suits Geralt

Second, you can make "wrong" choices same way in tw3, for example gwent tournament, skellige succession quest and serial killer investigation, top of my head.

Every other quest or NPC interaction is basically the same, Zoltan will stand in front of that inn all his life waiting for you. In Witcher 1 he would walk from the bank to the inn and go to bed. That's dedication and attention to detail.

Grow up, you salty perma-virgins.

Anon, are you actually for real right now? How the fuck are you this much of a moron, seriously?

No one is arguing that a quest should progress, but the point that has been made is that in the previous game the world and the character's actions didn't completely revolve around Geralt, there was a consistency. If you showed up in the middle of the night to complete a quest chances are the dude is not available, because he went home to go sleep. In W3 you will find him at his porch in the middle of the night in the pouring rain waiting for you to hand in the quest, the entire world revolves around you.

Seriously mate, are you drunk or should I call someone for you? This isn't right.

>>389328112
No it doesn't. . Stop lying.

>>389328024
Gee, I don't know. Why shouldn't the world revolve around? Fucking crazy, right?

Nice wall of text, not even going to read that trash.

TW series is a loved classic by many, and your shitty little attitude will never change that.

>In Witcher 1 he would walk from the bank to the inn and go to bed. That's dedication and attention to detail.
and it was annoying as hell, also he was not part of the quest at a time as I remember, I didn't need to specifically find him more than once => who cares the fuck he is doing
world supposed to circle around the player=observable universe
NPC schedule is for flavor, atmosphere not gameplay
it's reasonable for people not to walk at night time, they don't
it's unreasonable to make player wait for the sake of waiting

They claim their Cyberpunk team is now larger than Witcher 3's ever was, but this game has also been in 'development' since before Witcher 3 was announced so it could very well be in development hell and never be finished.

Well, TW3 is apparently the clear exception then.

I know I'm in the minority here but Witcher 3 has honestly been my favorite game this generation.

I think they really should have focused on the overall gameplay, its pretty shit and boring to play. They should have deducted 10 million or so from the marketing budget.

>why do people consider gameplay=combat
We don't, and even then TW3 is definitely on the lower end of the scale as far as third person games go. Dark souls is most praised for its level and world design which are parts of gameplay. The sense of exploration in DS is better than most open world games, TW3 included.

>>389331762
Being forced to go through the same corridors multiple times kills any sense of exploration and novelty. I bought Bloodborne based on this meme too. Meanwhile you have a living breathing city like Novigrad and an introduction to Skellige that blows most players away.

Looks pretty open to me.

>>389327609
I get what you are saying but isn't it 100% possible to turn off markers and guides?

>>389332349
Yes. You don't have to use the map if you don't want to.

>>389332025
I would take that over an open world that has nothing to do, any day. TW3's open world is just a novelty but games like DS and BB have actual exploration. The biggest reason being that you actually get different level layouts, different enemies and different weapons through exploration. The Witcher 3 seriously lacks in those departments, without the sidequests, majority of the interaction with open world is through walking or galloping which becomes really tedious.

>>389332025
Also, repeating levels might become tedious but that's mainly because the player isn't good enough and it really does not take anything away from the world design.

>>389332683
>I would take that over an open world that has nothing to do, any day

Games like DS and Bloodborne really only have combat so this is a fairly ironic statement.

>>389332835
Most players aren't "good enough" though. The Dark Souls re-release was literally called "Prepare to Die."

>>389332840
That's wrong though both Dark Souls and Bloodborne have ton of optional areas that will only be found through exploring and secrets. Like the Painted World you need to figure out to get to the crow's nest in Firelink Shrine, get the doll and then find the painting in Anor Londo to get there or Cainhurst Castle in Bloodborne you need to find the secret exit from Forbidden Woods to Central Yharnam to Iosefka's Clinic, get the summons and then go to another optional area in Hemwick.

You sure you've played these games?

>>389313721
It's okay pal. Just tell me where is the anger coming from?

>>389332225
are you for real? I know every tree in that location, and I have shit memory
DS is action game, the retard that called it RPG should be shot

>>389332840
>DS and BB only have combat
Combat is the part of the levels and yes it is huge part of the game but it's little ignorant since you really can't turn a blind eye to the world design just because combat is the primary focus. If anything, exploration is a huge complement to the combat because almost all weapons, armors, spells and all consumables are scattered in the over world and some are extremely easy to miss if not explored properly.
That is one of my gripes with TW3. It does not really encourage exploration, there is just one sword with one moveset, the witcher gear is one of the best gear( and we get it fairly early from what I recall) and there aren't many enemy types to fight with in the open world. Apart from combat the gameplay mainly involves walking and talking which is not fun, atleast from me. IMO they shouldn't have made the switch to open world.

>>389333053
god, I see why you people like DS that much
it's so tiny you can remember it barely well and think it's big

I never called it big or small and that's irrelevant to it having great and rewarding exploration.

>>389333636
big relates to content, souls games have barely any content it all comes through repetition and if you don't like the combat game has no value

>>389333564
>Apart from combat the gameplay mainly involves walking and talking which is not fun

>>389333389
Define what an rpg is to you then.

>>389332967
And it's fair but should we really knock down the world and level design for that? There are multiple areas to go through at almost any given time, so, if you are stuck somewhere just try another area and come back to it later. That's how I played BB and I did fairly well, I even admit that I would be, at best, a mediocre player( I get raped in PvP half the time) but this approach helped me a lot.

>>389333860
the game where characters say more than 2 lines to start with

>>389333710
Dark Souls has content in spades from optional areas like I already mentioned, optional bosses, tons of NPC quest lines that will span the entirety of the game, over a hundred weapons, different play styles, covenants.

You're looking at around a hundred hours if you want 100% the game.

>>389333953
That's pretty low for shitting on a game.

I always get such a shill vibe from Witcher threads. There are people who are way too in love with the company that they must be paid (thinking 1 mln views in a day is impressive? really?). They get money from the government to make their games, had a fuck huge marketing budget and, given how low wages are for graphic designer and programmer here in Poland, the fact that the game cost around $70 mln is ridiculous. You retarded "muh Slavic superiority" Amerifats just bring up all this retarded shot that makes no sense

Are they really ending with Witcher 3? A Witcher 4 that just built on top of what made Wild Hunt good would be huge.

>>389334676
The majority of that is probably spend on advertising, hella expensive. More than half the budget of a game nowadays.

>>389334757
They made bank with W3, they're not dumb. Geralt may not be the protag next time around, but it definitely won't be the last we see of the Witcher as a franchise.

I want to play The Witcher 3 but first i'd like to play the first two games, but the graphics are kinda bad (especially the first one) that i can't bring myself to do it.
Will there ever be a remastered collection of the trilogy?

>>389334286
as a fan of both series, I can call this as 100% bullshit.
You can platinum every soulsborne game in 60 hours tops.

The Witcher is a better, more immersive world. A true roleplaying game.
Soulsborne is an action game with rpg elements, but better combat.

Thats literally it, all other arguments are lies or just plain stupid.
The Witcher is not the pinnacle of combat.
Soulsborne is not a good roleplaying game, in fact its barely an RPG at all. Most of the story is written by FANS.

Anyone think we'll get a small Ciri cameo in Cyberpunk 2077? Just a character in the background or some mention of her?

>>389335078
witcher 1 is unpolished and dated but totally worth a play-through. Some would argue its the best game of the series, though I'd say 3 is the best all things considered.

Witcher 2 and 3 do not have bad graphics if you have a good PC.

>>389335270
I'm sure there will be. I hope it'll just be a sublte wink and not in your face though.

>>389335078
Witcher 1 is a funky game, if you can get over that it's brilliant.

>>389334383
what? Dark Souls is a good game, just stop comparing it to another genre

>>389335139
Of course you can platinum it that fast if you speed through it.
You can build your character just like you want it. There is a huge variability to builds. You go on a quest to find out about the world yourself. You can choose to learn about it or just go your way to fulfill your quest. All this comes pretty close to pen and paper rpgs. Just because the combat is kinda action based, call the whole game a action game is a bit over the line. If we we see it like this, games like final fantasy or dragon quest couldn't be called rpg at all.

I'm not exactly looking forward to justifying why Ciri would stay in her homeworld when she has refridgeration, flush toilets, chinese food, and tampons in the "future world".

Being a Witcher/Empress would be great, she can visit Yen or Geralt at any time and still live in Cyberpunk with cold beer and TV.

I'm just going to admit her being there will be stupid but will certainly be charming nevertheless when you see her chowing down at a ramen street stand.
