Is anyone on Era picking up The Witcher 3 on Switch next week?

Future support cancelled based on a ResetERA poll, that'd be a new excuse for third parties I think.
Already played through it once and since it has little to no replay value and is super long along with me finding it to be a little overrated, no I'm not paying for a worse looking and performing version that has no inherent benefit of being portable years later.
Currently ranked #4 in best sellers on Amazon and #1 out of actual video games. Don't worry there's interest.
That being said, I wouldn't expect Cyberpunk lol
Yes. I'll be keeping my GameFly copy at a discounted price, plus I have a promo coupon for $10 off my next purchase.

I really hope that it's not a waste of money and resources for CDPR.
Saber worked on the title with help from CDPR and it took 12 months, that's not cheap.

If future support hinges on a 4 year old port that's been on every competing platform selling like a new game, well, I guess they won't be supporting the platform again anyway.
To be honest, they probably won't have another game out in time that can reasonably be ported to switch anyway. If cyberpunk was coming to switch, we would probably know by now. I guess Gwent could, maybe?
If they put their expected sales at a reasonable level though, I'm sure the port will reach them.
Ughhhh that $50 price again... so tempting. But I have so much to play already.
It'll probably come down in price around black friday, right?

Oh cool. I didn't realize it was actually doing well!
I wonder if this bodes well for NPD performance
Have we received a high profile third party title on Switch so far that the publisher ended up being dissatisfied with? Other than EA and FIFA.
No lol, why do some people keep asking me this
Because you're all over the place like he was. I wanted to ask the same question multiple times. I just got that feeling that you were.

I dunno whether or not that's a compliment lol.
In any case, nah.
I'm saying maybe later because I already own it on Xbox and PC, but I would get a Switch physical copy if it was $25 or less. As long as it's not a blurry mess like some other "impossible" ports.
Why would we know by now? If I were CDPR I'd focus on the platforms we were building it for then decide after the game went I'd not even consider even trying to port the game until release then I'd wait until we were sure we could port it before saying anything, and even then CDPR announced Witcher just months before release.
If they were to announce a port I'd say it's still a year or two before being announced.
I do hope Witcher 3 hits it out of the park. My favourite game this gen outside of BOTW and FETH, it deserves to sell huge numbers on Switch.
I don't think anyone outside of EA has had anything negative to say about the sales of their games.
You post a lot of threads on a ton of different topics with a lot of different thoughts. Phantom Thief was known for a quite similar style of posting.

Well if Skyrim did well (it did, right?) I guess TW3 can as well. At least I hope it will.
As for PT, my memory is of him mostly posting Nintendo stuff. I didn't even own a Switch until recently lol.
Game is full of cut scenes and dialogue pertinent to the story or whatever else you're doing at the time (side quests all have their own stories) so be prepared to mute your TV a lot or have subtitles on.
Yeah, Skyrim did quite well, if Bethesda is to be believed: https://www.videogameschronicle.com...f-switch-owners-bought-console-for-its-games/
I would, but in the middle of Divinity Original Sin 2.
Don't sleep on Divinity on Switch. It's amazing. Just hit chapter 2.

cause you post very similar to that poster, even in syntax, similar topics regarding nintendo focus
and their account was closed very recently while yours was opened very recently
Likely will down the road, but I need to put a moratorium on new Switch games until I reduce my backlog to fewer than 10 games. I'm also iffy because I own it on PS4 and dropped it, but I know Switch has been good for clearing games I couldn't on PS4...

Well that's good to hear!
Is this a good port?
Also worth noting that Skyrim on Switch never received deep discounts (at least in my area) while consistently staying in the top 100 charts. Deepest was 30€ digital, physical 40€, and people still wanted to have it. And it was a 6 years old game when it got ported on Switch...
I can't agree with this more, what an incredible game. I need to do a second playthrough after finishing DQXIS.
And maybe TW3.
Yeah, it's extremely good. Outside of character models the visuals are excellent and the framerate holds up really well. Load times are a bit long though.
I would do as I love building my collection on Switch, but the graphical compromises are just too much. I'll keep my PS4 for heavyweight games like Witcher 3.
Outside of the glorious combat, it's the writing and voice acting that really blows me away. Didn't expect this level of polish.
I've been playing CRPGs since Ultima III, and D:OS2 is up there.
Glad Witcher 3 port is good tho
not skyrim cause I opted for the vr version instead but definitely BoTW and dragons dogma (no real interest in dark souls) and even saints row (which was a horrible port. The controls have so much lag you have to really want to play it to deal with it). So I have plenty.
If I play this game, it'll probably be on PC. I'm glad the game is coming to Switch, but from what I've seen, the cutbacks seem to be a little more than I'd like when I could play the game on PS4 or PC just as well. (I never play my Switch portably.)
For comparison, I did get DQXI on Switch because I felt the graphics and style held up reasonably well and the additions/updates made the purchase compelling for me.

- Pokémon Sword (NSW)
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (PS4)
- The Witcher 3 (NSW)
No, for several reasons:
1. Beat it already on PS4
2. I don't see myself spending this much time on a game right now
3. While I am not a graphics fanatic, I don't like the downgrade at all...

I hope the port delivers. Can't wait to see what switch owners and Nintendo fans think of the game.
I'm surprised so many are picking it up. Doesnt really seem a good financial decision to get it if you've already played through the significantly better versions on console or PC.
