I know but they aren't putting it out at any of the Walmart's near me. Asked at 3 stores to get it from the back and they said it was marked for the 15th and they couldn't sell it to me... might try the Walmart's near my work tomorrow.

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

I might grab it down the line when the price drops. I skipped it on PS4, it's not really my kind of game, and I am already swamped in a backlog of great games.
These types of games though, somehow, have this insane increase in appeal to me when I can play them portable. I bought Skyrim on sale, and I've only really dicked around playing it, but having it digitally on a portable just feels....amazing.

Because FUCK THE HATERS who chastise the Switch version, that's why.
That's a bummer. It was in the case, guy just grabbed it and rang it with no issue.
Are Walmarts really breaking street date of Switch games these days, or is it just certain specific areas?
If that poster bought and played it twice before and is willing to do so a third time, it's probably safe to say they loved the game, and playing a graphically inferior version has its charm if you're a fan. If I had money, I would have bought Captain Toad on 3DS despite owning it on Wii U. It's fun playing a port that feels like it couldn't exist but does.
I'm not gonna play Witcher 3 on the train. I will play What The Golf on my phone like an adult.
I never got into it on prior consoles. I appreciate what CD Projekt is doing with putting the whole game on the card and including some rad pack-in materials, but it's just not a game that was of any interest to me. If the reviews are solid, I might consider giving a whirl at a discount somewhere down the line.
I would've been tempted if there were cross-save with other platforms. I would double dip on Switch with several epic multiplatform RPGs if there was cross-save.
I don't see why not. Both Divinity 2 and Civilization VI support it.
I want to try it to see how it runs and because maybe I'll be able to play it more than the pc version. But I loaded up a screenshot on my phone and boy even on a 5.5' screen it's incredibly blurry. I finished DOOM on handheld mode so I shouldn't bother but wow
Just for the record, I have the PC version, but would much rather play this "inferior" version on my 4KTV than actually boot up my PC just to play it.
I've played it all today. Resolution is at least as good as Doom's, performance is almost perfect locked 30, actually performs better than ps4/xb1 from memory. Not been to novigrad or the bog yet, but people are saying those hold up well. It's honestly really playable in handheld mode.
It feels like magic and some kind of blood oath was definitely involved In this port.

Yeah, but I think you don't really need good resolution and details to enjoy DOOM, the action itself is enough. But with a rich and lush world, I'm afraid of losing some of the charm
Pre-ordered it today. Even if the port sucks (which it apparently does not), I will soon have GWENT on my Switch. That's worth $60
Honestly, I don't think this will happen. at least, not anytime soon. the game uses a 32GB cartridge which is expensive, reportedly it cost 20$ (including licensing fees) in the past, though I don't know if the cost has been reduced or not.

Still haven't touched DQ11, Fire Emblem, or Daemon X Machina and here I am, considering Witcher 3. And I still got Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokemon Sword/Shield to get over the next few weeks. I should probably hold off for a while, but I know I'll end up impulse buying it the next time I'm at the store.
Perhaps if it's $20 at some point. I already own it on PC, Xbox and PS. So I don't really need lol
I'm not but I hope people do. Seriously it's an amazing game w/ must play expansion packs in Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine.
It can run good and look good if you are use to 720p or lower in dock mode. Game struggled on PS4/Xbox One and to expect the level of detail, resolution, shadow resolution, AA, AF etc. on the Switch is asking for too much. The game from what a friend has told me that has it looks good and runs good for being on the Switch. He likes it more in portable mode versus on his 65" 4k set where he described it as blurry due to the low resolution. It still can be a good looking/running game on the Switch, but taking into account the limitations of the system...for lack of power the system has, my friend is pleasantly shocked how good it turned out.
I'm going to spend the next year going into every console thread and asking why anyone would buy the inferior version on consoles when I can play at 4k ultra details and 120fps on my gaming PC. These threads are embarassing sometimes.
On topic, I guess they broke street date again? Do we have a thread for first impressions or is anyone doing press on the switch version?

I finished it on PC, and I wish I could double dip but I'm going for The Outer World this month.
Probably not, but maaaybe if the price drops. I played a good chunk of it on PS4, but I could never fully get into it. I walked away from it thinking it just probably wasn't my kind of game (I understand I'm in the minority on this), but if I start craving a meaty, open-world RPG, I might be persuaded to pick it back up.
Thanks I just caught that afterwards my bad. Looks like it holds up as expected. Just gotta wait for my copy now.
