Witcher 3 is available for Pre load.

I have the hard copy pre-ordered amd paid for. But I am wondering if I should just go digital. I am a bit of a dinosaur and prefer a hard copy. But I have been downloading a few digital's lately

 

nah mass effect was best for me

 

I'm sticking with physical!, I want it on my shelf so that it can entice me back in for further playthroughs!

 

^ Its enticing me right now, pinned to my home screen : )

I agree with you to a point Tzar, however the Witcher is an already defined character, so your never going to be able to play through as a sorcerer Witcher for example as it just doesn't fit Geralt. So although I would say it's an RPG as you play
the role of Geralt and have choices of weapons, armour, spells your still going to be largely constrained by Geralts definition. Unlike a Skyrim where you choose every aspect of the character. I think that's why some people didn't enjoy the Witcher 2
who were expecting a more traditional RPG with open character development. I certainly don't agree that it was purely an action/adventure game more of a hybrid of the two genres. Either way it was one of the best titles on the 360 in my opinion.

Pretty much this.

You're always going to be playing the role of Geralt the Witcher rather than picking your own class and motivations. So you are constrained by Geralt's definitions, but if you walk into the game already knowing this then you tend not to feel bad about it.

So when I say it's not an RPG it's an Action Adventure game people ought to be able to understand what I mean and where I'm coming from and not feel that they are personally now legally obliged to refer to "The Witcher" as nothing but an Action Adventure
game.

I personally have no problem with anyone who considers the Witcher to be an RPG at all.

Watched some of the trailers yesterday and it's really looking good.

 

@genchy yeah there are consequences but sometimes if I press certain dialogue I'd expect the other options to just disappear but I found a few where it was just the order they were said which made it feel like who cares which one I press.

 

Witcher 3 will be up against some stiff competition, with Farming Simulator 15 coming out the same day...okay, who am I kidding, no one is actually going to buy Witcher 3, right?

 

I'm really looking forward to this one. I can't post the quote due to the swear filter but *** that vampire scene made me roll in the gameplay trailer. It's looking really good!
