The Witcher 3

[ProjectPat2280]

of course he has. He's the biggest proponent for the series around here

LOL!

I'll concede this one. Now if someone wants to challenge my Hitman fandom, sure then there'll be an issue.

I didn't think he had from discussions a while back in the lead up to Witcher 2 but he might have since, or I might have got confused. I think most of us in that thread jumped on with Witcher 2 just because the original was on pc. The first had an awesome intro though. I'll play it when I can play games regularly again.

Yea, I didnt play it originally. I was introduced to the series through Witcher 2. I did trudge through the first game somewhat recently though.

As much as im a proponent of playing the recent games in a series of titles, this is one where I do recommend just starting with 2. Not that the original is a bad game or anything, but it is quite dated. For instance, ill play through Witcher 2 before I get Witcher 3, but ill prob pass on playing Witcher 1 again. I say the same thing with the Hitman series(another of my favorites) I tell people who have never played the series to just play Absolution as the dated feel of the previous games could turn some off.

Oh the gameplay is dated? I was more interested in any story elements that carried over anyway. Maybe I'll just watch it on youtube then. Thanks.

Has this been seen? Might have been as I couldn't view all the recent videos due to Hype related video probs on my laptop.

The new footage is beyond good. The next couple of months and change are going to agony to wait through.

Pretty much. I'm glad I'll have a few games to hold me over, but still, this is the one Iv got triple circled and the wait won't be fun. Ah well, not too much longer now. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

[Iceman]

Wow, that's great!! I may need to upgrade to it.

Oh I didn't know there was another playable character. Nice!

I just got into Monster Hunter, so I have plenty to do. Plus Bloodborne. Still, this is the game I am waiting for.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Must. Have.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea that's incredible.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Apparently you can only win one.

The Witcher 3 : Bring Along Geralt's Razor -- Things Will Be Getting Hairy

Posted Mar 24, 2015


According to several published reports, Geralt's beard will grow over time in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Unless one's character wants to be unkempt, Geralt will need to visit the barber every few days for a spa treatment. Luckily, however, there will be a DLC that will stop beard growth so worry not for razor stubble!

If having a foot-long soup-catcher dangling from Geralt’s chin isn’t your style, you can download a free Beard and Hairstyle DLC pack, which will freeze any style in place. “When you download the free Beard and Hairstyle DLC the growth of the beard will stop because we decided that when players want a predefined look, it would be weird to require from them to reapply it time after time,” explained Platkow-Gilewski.

I like that his beard will grow gradually throughout the game. Should be a cool-looking effect.

that's how real life works!
I say go for it

 

[Iceman]

In real life some of these guys probably spend 4-8 hours a night asleep and 20 minutes on the ****ter. You want to simulate that too?

 

[BoredGuy]

pssssh yessss

immersion, baby

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

I wish the CE's weren't sold out for it, it looks like a great set.

 

[Iceman]

pssssh yessss

immersion, baby

In that case, good on you sir t:

Yea thats pretty damn epic.

 

[Iceman]

Sounds like a simple thing but has that been done in a game before?
