Yes, there was an update for GoG galaxy, and then the preload appeared. 6GB. I guess they delayed the preload until the update was done.

Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales |OT| Queen Of Diamonds
- Thread starter Bardoon
- Start date
Just Thronebreaker.
You can find cards and cosmetics when exploring in Thronebreaker that will be shared with Gwent account (if you have one of course).
But the cards you use/play against in Thronebreaker are mostly different than they are in Gwent, because they are tailored for story/quest scenarios.
Dammit you had me worried for a second xD
The game preload says 6.5GB for me.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, the PTR was a fairly small download so I can't imagine this will be much different. The multiplayer isn't downloading an all new game, just an update.
Why isn't there more hype for this? It's a new major singleplayer game by CDPR; Witcher 3 people worked on its story, characters and dialogues; the reviews are quite stellar and praise the gameplay as well; etc. Is this because console versions are delayed?
I, for one, am incredibly hyped.

I think the lack of a Steam release is one major reason and the release date being so close to RDR2. There's a reason no one wanted to release a game the same week as RDR2 or for a week or 2 afterwards... I'm likely going to wait for a sale. If the game was available on GMG with a 20% discount or even just on Steam since I have $6 credit from selling cards, I'd get it day 1.
Gwent was a cool distraction in TW3.... but there is no way I'm gonna play a game where all the combat is replaced by gwent.
GMG most likely screwed themselves out of ever working with CDPR by sourcing and selling grey market TW3 keys back when TW3 launched.
Gwent in TW3 isn't same as Gwent in standalone TCG which isn't even near what Gwent is in this game.
Why are you going to wait for a sale if it's a great game (as apparently reviews indicate)? Just because it's not available on Steam? It's already a bargain, in my opinion: a new large 25-30-hours single-player game for just $30. I mean, you get more bang for your buck than with most other games, even if you'd cut $6 off their price.
Battles in Thronebreaker have very little in common with Witcher 3's Gwent. Hell, they even have pretty major differences with the new standalone Gwent to be released simultaneously today. Just read gameplay portions of the reviews, e.g. of the Gamespot one. And take a look at the 37-minute gameplay walkthrough.

I'm hyped, but I'm tuning out for a month (until it's released on PS4 together with Gwent Homecoming).
But they changed the formula quite a bit, right? From three to two rows and some of those cards and synergies are pretty complex, in comparison to the quick and easy setup of the original Gwent.
However I don't think the marketing was poor. Whoever has remote interest in the game could have noticed that. They announced those huge changes some months ago and revealed them just a couple of weeks ago.
Personally, I pretty much lost my interest into the game, due to the massive changes. It seriously does not resemble the mini game at all anymore, besides the core game play idea.
For Thronebreaker you just have to think of the Gwent combat as a battlefield with two armies and you controlling one. It's actually pretty fun and strategic and much better than The Witcher 3's version.
It is a single player gwent game. And gwent got completely overhauled today as well with the launch of throne breaker called homecoming
It looks like it is a lot more in depth. And there are apparently a lot of puzzles interwoven with the mini-game to resemble the story beats.
I know this is gonna seem obvious, but if anyone is wanting a bit of a challenge then starting on hard is probably the way to go. A few of the reviews said the base difficulty can feel too easy. Thought I'd mention it, since we are only like 1 hour away from launch.
Whelp shit. I have to start work at 4 and wanted to get some hours in to start on my Review. My week is packed and Red Dead is also coming out... Oh man. :(
Servers are dead. It took me 30min just to update the gog client.
And the game download has been stuck at 3% for minutes now.
Edit: lol now it's at 2%. It actually went down hahahah
I think i'll try again tomorrow.

Played to the first boss type battle, was fun but figured out the mechanic to optionally kill him too late.
The puzzle scenarios seem good, the first one past the tutorial had me thinking.

No Ultrawide 21:9 support in Thronebreaker. Damn shame considering how most of the cutscenes are 21:9 with black bars in 16:9.
Also, look at all those scraps after the great mill. 250K. FeelsGoodMan

"There are no plans to release Thronebreaker on any other platforms than PC (GOG.COM), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One," a spokesperson replied. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...ebreaker-the-witcher-tales-on-nintendo-switch
Excellent. I'd like this on my Switch, however, I can also easily see me chasing a Platinum in this game as well so at least the decision is easier now. Thanks!
