Pre Order bonus on GOG will be fu***ng amazing

+
I didn't hear "fricking". I'd be 100% confident it is the non-euphemised variant used there.

You have some kind of issue with your system, dragonbird. It is possible to drag&drop the current time to any point on the seek bar and get audio even if it hadn't been cached to that point yet. (W7x64, Firefox)
 
:facepalm:

Yes surely that's the most important thing to discuss, which exact word was used by Marcin Iwinski.
 
Will definitely preorder it through GOG, I bought TW2 twice, once from the App Store then again from GOG to get the extras. Probably could have torrented the extras but wanted to support CDPR.

Wonder if there is going to be a timeline for pre-order for the f-ing amazing extras? Where if you order before they announce you'll get more for trusting them. Still trying to decide whether to buy a gaming PC or just spend extra money on a top-of-the-line MBP and use bootcamp.

You didn't need to re-purchase, nor to torrent the game to get the GOG material. Just use your existing license to obtain a "GOG backup copy" through the GOG site.

The problem was user error - I didn't realise you could right-click on the video to change the quality. It was fine after I dropped to "Low". :)

And we don't know about whether or not there'll be a GOG backup available. It didn't happen with the earlier games until a long time after the game came out, and making it available from the beginning would probably have a big negative impact on GOG sales, so I don't see them doing it.

Order through GOG to get 'early access' to GOG exclusive content. Or "Wherever" to get whatever 'bonus' you get from other routes... then pick up GOG backup copy and bonuses a long time later....

I bought from GOG in both cases so far, and wasn't considering anywhere else for W3. (And in fact haven't bought games from anywhere else in 4+ years)...

Spent some on SB Pro PE just before that*, and on various specialist applications since... but nothing from Steam or it's equivalents, nor from main-stream publishers.
*And a tiny bit on upgrades to SB Pro recently too.

Pre-orders should have started somewhere in April, but then the delay happened.
We don't have any concrete info, but I'd say it's safe to assume pre-orders will hit around E3.
 
I mostly expect some extra customization option from such pre order bonuses. I'll be happy if they add mutton chops beards along with some other hairstyles and facial hairstyles Or full metal armour or some other type of cool armour or mask,helmet or some sort of cool bandana for geralt or tattoos..alot of tattoos/*that tattoo thing on TW2 after getting drunk was pretty cool*/
 
CDPR have said pre-order bonuses won't affect the game at all. So no OP weapons for pre-ordering from Gamestop or mutton chops.

Restricting game content to those who pre-order, even something as small as the color of shoe laces, is a bad practice in the gaming industry and should be killed with fire. Pre-order bonuses should be things about the game, but not in the game. A person who plays the game two years from now should receive the exact same and full experience I will have, even if I pre-order.

It is a digital pre order so won't be anything physical must something in the game and whatever is in-game will surely affect the game.

No, it can be non-game material like soundtracks, artbooks or videos, or it can be something in-game that is cosmetic, as you said. And yes, as Kinl3y has said, I'm pretty sure that they said earlier that there wouldn't be game-affecting bonuses. (And I hope this is still the case).
Although, @Kinl3y, I don't think mutton chops would be game-affecting :)
