The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition |OT| They Call it Switchcraft
- Thread starter Dancrane212
- Start date
Picked up the physical release today and downloading the day 1 patch now (a two hour wait *sigh*). The "Witcher Universe Compendium" is fine -- it's just a short black and white story manual, but the map is really quite nice. Reminds me of using the physical Golden Sun 2 map back in the day.
Played for a few minutes on my Switch Lite this morning and can't believe how good it looks. Excited to dive in tonight.
I was going to buy this digitally but I forgot this game is huge. 32GB plus you need an SD card to download it. I didn't see it chart digitally but that's most certainly due to the fact that its a huge file that can't be downloaded on to a standard Switch without an SD card. Will go physical for this one and the cart will probably stay in my Switch for a long while replacing Zelda botw.
Seems so. I have US and JP accounts too and it was there, plus UK people are reporting it's in their eShop. No idea why we're getting the cold shoulder.
Started a Death March play through yesterday on TV, continued for a bit in Bed, then played a bit after Breakfast and currently play a bit during my break at work. It's fucking amazing that I can cram a bit of playtime whenever I get the chance. Performance is mostly fine, some stutters here and there and the resolution sometimes does look extremely poor, but man the game is so much fun still. I don't know who it was that made the comparison on here, but it really feels like Witcher 3 Monet edition lol.
I won't be able to boot it up for another hour. You know, on my break at work. Yup, gonna play Witcher 3, on my break, at work.
That's why this port is amazing.

A hot tip for ye newcomers: don't use the roll in combat; instead, use the dodge step liberally. Also, be sure to enable the "alternate" movement in the gameplay settings menu if Geralt feels a little too weighty to control for you. That menu should also allow you to disable some of the visual effects of "Witcher vision" which I personally found a tad annoying when left enabled.
Just played for 3hrs, absolutely amazing that I am playing this on a handheld.
Having completed the game on PC with a fast attack whirl build which makes the game kind of easy mode even on the hardest difficulty, I will try a heavy attack build with rend this time. Let's hope I can actually hit something lol.

Oooh this feels so good... what a sweet portable conversion :)
They even kept the high detail textures for the cutscenes, that's surprising... and it still has the blue line texture on the shoulder plate of the base armor xD ahaha... the old quirk is still there, full port.
A dream come true, really.

I got around to playing it for a few minutes. I knew it was going to be Witcher 3 on a handheld, but fucking A. This is fucking Witcher 3 on a handheld.
This is so damn impressive.

Hey folks playing Witcher 3 for the first time: if you get frustrated with the combat, please don't give up on the game. Switch the difficulty to easy and you WILL enjoy the experience more. I played on Easy most of the way through the game and I still had an amazing time.
That's a damn good trailer. Shit, I'm trying to resist buying this game when I have too much on my plate as it is, but I'm about to break.
So, is the physical version that boxed set with the map, stickers, and game? And is that also the version we get in NA? Hate to make trip to BB and only find just a barebones version without the goodies.
Just finished the tutorial part, never played the original game. Boy oh boy I played for a very small time but I'm having a blast si far, still can't believe they managed to port this. I've only played in handheld mode and bar some framerate dips in the cutscenes, it's absolutely amazing, I'm really glad I decided to give CDPR my money.
I have the base game on PS4 and struggled to really get into the game, I did enjoy it but I think handheld will really help me keep at it.
I just have sooo much DQXI left to play before I can grad this.

I believe that's the only version. I'm in the US and just went to Walmart and that's all they had
The physical edition should have all these goodies. There is no other version afaik.
It looks like they prioritized resolution and texture quality for those, which makes sense to me.
first minutes are not representative though. graphics go way up once you finish the tutorial.
I had this happen to me as well. Game glitched out even though I was casting the spell. Reloading your last auto save should put you right before the combat tutorial and then it worked for properly me.
