Witcher 3 Ships Almost 10 Million Copies - Report

@nikon133: With COD,the thing is that 2 teams are making COD.
Treyarch and Infinity Ward.
That is why COD can launch more often

@czlapaj2: i mean,multiplayer focused games...vs multiplayer games with a short or no single player content.
Titanfall,Star Wars

@kyelo: PS4 actually had a lot of performance issues, and it isn't that graphically demanding and very well optimized on PC. A good mid-range PC will max it out at 1080p 60 fps, so I'm sure even a low-end rig would handle it on low-medium.

@kyelo: No.

@HenrySix: No, he's just the most ridiculous TW3 hater on Gamespot.

@HenrySix: Just beef between Salt_AU and CD. You know, he has to defend his purchasing decisions and his opinions on games.

@Salt_AU: I don't know if this comment will matter in the grand scheme of things (and I know your usual - pretty strict - standpoint; which is a reason I didn't touch your comments before), but let's take a moment and remember the horse armor DLC from lovely Bethesda in times of Oblivion, shall we? Two sets introduced by free DLCs in Witcher 3 are complete armor AND horse armor sets. By the same logic, shouldn't they have sold them for around $5 each? No one claims the free DLCs for Witcher 3 are groundbreaking, and more than a marketing scheme. But it's free content that other games have sold/have been selling for money nonetheless. That's the main take from this. (A quote from Marcin Iwinski: "How many man-hours does it take to design an extra armor? 8? 10? I can't charge for that in good conscience.")

Like I said, it will probably be lost on you, with your extremely strict and unchanging standpoint, but I wanted to make my point anyway. It's one thing to claim other people are fanboys, while acting like a complete "hater" in doing so (either deliberately, or to "offset" the other extreme); it is not the "sideless", "objective" take as you claim it to be. An objective view can look at both sides, and point out both of their positive and negative aspects. But I digress. Good day and be happy sir/madam! Life is too bleak anyway.

PS: Oh, all of this is coming from a person who quotes Morrowind to be one of their favorite games, if you were wondering of my "allegiance", so to speak.

@Salt_AU: They added in several outfits for the three major characters of the story, new cosmetic options, several quest, good weapons and armor, new animations, and a new game + mode for free. A total of 16 free things. What did you expect? A 10 hour expansion for free? The big publishers like EA or Ubisoft , would of charged $5 a piece for each little DLC totaling $80. Not counting the expansions you would of already paid $140.

Comparing paid DLC, CDPR charged $10 for Heart of Stones which is a quality expansion with 10 hours of story, and Blood and Wine will be $20 for 20 hours of story. EA charged $15 for the DAI "expansions" with 5 hours of story, so if this was EA that would be $20 for HoS and $30 for B&W leaving a grand total of $190 maybe $185 with season pass versus the $85 or less we paid now for TW3. That's why people are praising CDPR, their have a fair business model, on top of putting out a good quality game.

As far as bugs go, every game has bugs, as games(specially open world games) and teams get larger these small things are easy to miss, especially since they din't always occur at the same time and they don't always happen for everyone. You can't really fault them for that and they did work on fixing it all, and it's not like it was broke beyond repair like AC Unity or Bethesda who leaves it too Modders.

@Salt_AU: CDPR is definitely number 1 for me. They are the only developer who does not dime and nickel their costumers. Yeah the free content they released was not hours and hours of content. But they had 3 dlc missions that I greatly enjoyed. Missing Miners, Where the cat and the wolf play and fool's gold which was my favorite. And who the hell can complain about them if they are free? Had it been EA or Ubisoft, you can damn well be sure they would charge money for those snippets of extra content. What other company can you say have done that?

What you should take note on is the first expansion Heart of Stone. Now that is quality DLC that has at least 10 hours of content which only cost like $10-$15.

And I have not had even close to as many bugs and glitches with this game compared to any Bethesda game. I finished the game on a 100 hour playthrough when it came out with very few issues. Mostly all bugs I have encountered has been fixed. While for instance Bethesda left Skyrim with a serious lip sync bug with their latest patch.

And please grow up, the stupid neckbeard thing is so childish.

@Salt_AU: Those chest are like 1% of the game....Copy pasted missions? Every side quest has a rich story, even monster ones. Like a mini detective game or something. Tell me one game that does it better and has more variety and more rich questlines? You are mentioning some fanboy goggles here, while you are trolling or just showing plain ignorance. Horrendous ammount of bugs? There were a lot, it is a huge game, but horendous amount? Care to mention them? Care to mention what was not fixed? Your post looks just like plain hating, not argument to back anything you just said. Personal taste is something different, I don't argue with that, but your post has nothing to do with that. It just makes no sense.
