Witcher 3 DLC Leaks Early, Dev Warns Against Downloading It

@bsford: These DLCs *are* free game updates. On Galaxy it always updates by itself before starting the game and the DLC is there.

@bsford: Well some of the quest DLC's are fairly big, if you're someone thats running low on space or just does not want to take up your HDD with DLC you won't use; then it's handy being able to download just what you want.

And if your on the ps4, you can just hover over your game and go down to related items and find the DLC right there (saves you the time to search). Also, if you haven't noticed, theres a notification that comes up everytime when you save a game thats from a previous update, so if they had a new update everytime a DLC comes out (practically once every week), theres a chance of a user corrupting or messing up their save files.

@bsford: Yeah, it's more of a gimmick than a feature. They really wanted to pull the whole, "we're doing free DLC!" thing, and having a new article pop up on game sites every once in a while for a few months is a great way to let everyone know that.

@bsford: lazy

@bsford: With GoG Galaxy there's a DLC pass you can "purchase" for $0 and it acts like a season pass and just auto downloads the DLC as it becomes available. You can also go get them manually if you want.

@Mevrick: Blizzard is an icon of video games industry, especially PC gaming. They don't need much publicity, they have awful lots of money, they have enormous experience. CDPR on the other hand...

So? It's good marketing and PR for them and free DLC for us.

@Mevrick: WoW is an MMO so it doesn't count.
They are doing this because that is how they think it should be done, as an example to companies like ubisoft, activision and EA which charge for microscopic DLC.
They give those away and then sell expansion sized DLC.
It's about following through on what they believe and hoping more devs follow their example.
So what if other companies do it too? The more companies doing this the better.

@Darkhol0w: me either... where's the cleavage? lol

@skiggy34: Yep, she is definitely HOTT in the pic on this page... Holding On To Trousers!

@kopesettik: this does not mean it was intended for Xbox to be the first to have this content available. you can call it "unofficial XBOX exclusive" but it doesn't mean that it really is, early access and exclusive are not the same thing. could have been a misprint on a release contract or any number of simple mistakes that lead to it's early broadcasting. i doubt CdProjekt or MS would bother hiding the fact that they got an early DLC package for Xbox.

They certainly have an unusual look for fantasy... it's all very 1500's, where most fantasy worlds have more of a medieval aesthetic.

I found myself wishing I could set my armor's appearance separately, like-- find a piece you particularly like and just keep that look while changing stats with updated armors. There was a red sort of... I don't know what you call it... a surcoat or something, like a robe. That looked cool. Then I had to swap it for my Glorious Striped Beer Belly Assault Armor.

@elessarGObonzo: +100. Maybe they should hire better concept artists. Those dlc armors for Triss/Yen and Ciri are the worst. Triss looked like some korean mmo character, Yen like Morrigan from Dragon Age and Ciri... Ciri's alternative design is just extremely uninteresting. It's like it was designed in about 5 minutes or something. I really hate character concept in TW3 and character concepts in TW3 artbook wasn't really good compared to the other games.

@Fandango_Letho: If it wasn't ready for release and they're still working on it.....doesn't that mean they are in fact working on it post-release? Or do you think this is some elaborate scheme to confuse you?

@Pelican170: The eye shadow is a little much, and the chainmail sports bra is a little ... well I guess it's better than no armor at all. I think she managed actually lose a button on her shirt though. : p
