Jimboxy Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I played a few hours a few nights ago. Wandered off onto a side mission (caravan got raided in a swamp, dude wanted his box back) got my ass kicked by some gremlins and turned it off. Might knock the difficulty down to easy and go back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've been on easy since near the start. No shame in that, Jim. It's a big game, lots to see and do. You can always knock it back up later when you start feeling more powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read up a bit on this, apparently it's because the retail game has its region as UK, but the digital eu. Ridiculous that Sony wouldn't sort it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 @DANGERMAN Twice I've been on the phone, have escalated the call but have to wait for a call back. I probably won't be able to answer unless it's tomorrow morning, though. Also emailed them but not expecting anything. I've converted tons of disc games to digital (Diablo III, Black Ops III, Battlefield 4 and Hardline, PvZ GW2 and more) and never had an issue, I think The Witcher III is the only game on PS4 that it affects. If I hadn't booted the game I'd be able to get a refund, but because I loaded the game I'm stuffed. I really hate Sony customer support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I've started it but not got very far. I have heard it goes to some much darker but also more ridiculous places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spatular Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 i've started the 1st expansion over the last few days, the story moves along really quick at first, then slows down a bit and gets a bit GTA, good fun so far though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiofloyd Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Put my first hour into this. Went with the Blood and Bare Bones difficulty. I chose to simulate a Witcher 2 save although god knows if I can remember the events of the Witcher 2. Hopefully. Played as far as White Orchard. Needless to say it's a beautiful game. The mention of Vizima made me nostalgic, haven't been there in a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I went back to this today for a bit of a change of pace. I was going to go to the Isle of Mist, but when I got a fail state for a side quest I'd left I decided to reload and go and to it The mission in question is one involving Dandelion at the brothel/safe house. I hate Dandelion, I hate him in the books too but at least you can't hear him speak there. Hence why I'd left it. In typical Witcher fashion the side quest turned in to hours and hours of play, with multiple layers. It turns in to a really good story too, a massive tone shift from how it starts Spoiler It's the one with the serial killer. Kind of cool that they took the time to model out the victims rather than just use the standard corpse model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I can't stand Dandelion either. I hated the parts of the game that involved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 @Nag I even dropped the guy who picks the bodies up to take to the morgue. Pretty much everyone you meet is a dick in that quest, not least Dandelion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Gonna start 2019 by finally ticking this game off my backlog. I’ve played a few hours and done a couple of quests around White Orchard. Seems cool so far, obviously the game looks beautiful and the world feels very alive. Playing on normal difficult and I chose not to generate a W2 save as I don’t remember anything about that game. Looking forward to devoting the next month plus to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 This game is so good. I explored more of the White Orchard area, clearing out bandit camps, guarded treasure and that kind of thing. I cleared out the monsters in the Sawmill and people then moved in and started working there which was really cool. I’ve found and crafted better equipment. Loving this so far.

DANGERMAN Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Prompted by a couple of you talking about going back to this I have too. I'm a lot later in than you RF so I won't go in to too much detail It's been a long time since I started Witcher 3. I've been back to it a few times since, I only stop because there's so much other stuff to play. Anyway, the downside to that is, while I know the core parts of the plot, Wild Hunt and all that, no idea about the various side threads and characters. I had a conversation with someone about their friend, apparently they're dead and I was there when it happened, it sounds like they died a hero, no idea who they are. I'm currently doing a mission with a sorcerer called Philippa. She's brilliant, a proper scornful nasty piece of work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
