So it's ok to stream the game now? that's really sad CDPR.

Console sales are the smaller percentage of sales worldwide let alone for just some part of the world. So small percent? yes... Majority of those pre-ordered are not playing it yet... PC getting it early can not play yet... I agree it isn't ideal but it isn't hurting you either... Asking about them releasing it early is one thing, commenting that you are being fed is another matter.

Thing is, I don't see any reason to not release/unlock the game. Console versions already leaked and a lot of people from all around the world are playing. They're not few. 100% of PC users are not playing, that is a fact.

Day1 Patch already out for PS4/XOne, and not for pc...

as I said earlier, we PC players are the real peasants on this situation.

IN GERMAN TELEVISION A Witcher3 TV SPOT JUST AIRED THAT SAID "NOW AVAILABLE"!

But hey, console gamers don't get full hd, high- ultra settings with 60 fps and long view distance.

Neither do I. However CDPR does... I'd love to play it this weekend

Because of that spot one of my friends went to the store and got it. Lucky guy ...
Digital owners can wait -.-

 

[zMorfz]

So, yes I would LOVE to play the game right now. I've waited years, 3 more days are not going to kill me...

 

[mecha_fish]

I wonder how we can avoid this situation with retailers in the future?

 

[MetalBlood]

I think people should calm down a little. Im a hardcore pc player myself and yes it hurts to see that while others can enjoy the game already, I(and many of you) will have to wait a few days longer. Yes, it is annoying having to avoid half of the internet for the next few days now. But really, people need to get their expectations back in line with what is real.

The argument "day 1 patch ps4 etc etc" is absolutely void, considering that those are 2 completely different versions. Assuming that just because the day 1 patch for the PS4 was already released, the day 1 patch for pc is already done and CDPR are keeping them from us out of pure evil or because they wanna have a joke at our expense is simply silly. Im sure they are working hard on it and Im sure its not done yet. Considering all the shitstorms of the past and what is currently going on here, imagine that CDPR would release the game today and because the patch was incomplete the game would crash every 10mins. Oh, the horrors on these forums and pretty much everywhere else....

Next up, I know alot of ppl are sad or angry - I can include myself there(more on the sad rather than angry part). But looking for a scapegoat, especially in CDPR, is not really helpful. First of all its not their fault that some retailers didnt give a shit about the release date. Second, try to see it from their perspective. With the first unofficial releases in the middle east some days ago, it mustve turned into a goddamn nightmare for them from there on and probably still going. On several different levels. Because a: they probably saw this reaction from the playerbase coming before we even did and b: they are in a silly dilemma here on whether or not to release the game early but in a potential broken state or not - on whether or not lifting the embargo on yt and twitch vids etc. This is probably giving them much more of a headache than it does to us. So saying that theres some evil illuminati console appeasing plan behind all this because MS and Sony paid them off or some nonsense is really just some silly conspiracy crafting.

Its just 3 days, people. And its weekend. Go out and have some fun with friends or family.

Does anyone think that it will release early? At this stage, it's not like it really matters, with people playing on consoles already.

Moderator: There will be NO SCAPEGOATING OF ANY KIND. Members who want to be angry about this should keep silence, lest the moderators see the need to enforce their silence. This may mean closing the thread or banning members until after the game is released.

Release dates are not meant to be broken. There are too many scheduled activities that depend on the release date even to consider doing anything of the kind for even an instant. It does not have anything to do with who broke a release date or what platform it was broken for. It does not even have anything to do with whether or not there is a Day 1 patch that may or may not be being worked on. You are not engineers working for CDPR, and you cannot possibly know anything of the kind.

It may or may not. I dont think anyone but CDPR themselves can give you a detailed answer to that question as it entirely depends on the games state on PC and their judgement as to whether its beneficial to release it early(this could cause some serious "harm" if theres a fatal issue with the game since nobody will be able to patch it on the fly over the weekend).

I am pretty sure they can't pull stunt like that.

You can't. Someone will always fuck the cat and start selling things early.
That said, I thought CDPR came up with an anti-leak measure that stops everyone (on PC) from playing W3 before the release. What happened with that? Doesn't seem like it's stopping anyone right now... Actually, it works. Nevermind that.

 

[xiiiarcana]

True, I guess we'll have to wait and see!
Not that it matters much to me, I have to study for an exam all weekend. Just feel bad for other PC users.

That anti-leak measure for PC is working 100%. The only ones that got the PC version early and can play it are reviewers and the like.

 

[xiiiarcana]

Why didn't they leave out some stuff from the physical copies like with the digital ones in the first place? How much did the console industry pay you? It's not fair that loyal people get f*cked over just because they went with a digital copy.........

But PC has pirates man! Nothing bad ever happens with console releases, why would they leave out stuff from those releases?

 

[ShivaSi]

Let's look at the bright side: The amount of leaks and spoilers and such show only 2 things:
1. CDRP did an awesome game, hope it will stand in the same league as BG even after 10-15 yrs so you'll get an awesome game to play
2. CDRP will have enough money to do more awesome games for us
A win-win situation.

Gotcha, thanks. There've been a lot of PC videos popping up lately, didn't think they'd all come from the reviewers.
