The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition

1. STOP ASKING TO COLLECT MY DATA! (CdProRed jumping on this train too. Using their most successful IP to do it) 2. Grass / trees are having issues. Grass is streched out. Way too long (obvious bug). Trees.. this is difficult. Not sure how to discribe it. It looks like a bunch of squares out of order. 3. Stutter here and there. 4. Some textures got an amazing overhall! While others didn't and have to sit next to the ones that did. Basically acting as the ugly child no one cares for. SMDH This is why I am not excited for any new game.

Title is really self explanatory. CDPR took a great game and turned it into a technical nightmare. Performance is actually worse than Cyberpunk. As for visual upgrades, the ray tracing is hardly noticeable at all except in shadows and reflections....mostly reflections. I think it's a visual downgrade compared to the original to be honest. I think free was too much to pay for the update.

Updated the game to add graphics and DRM. Nice move. :thumbs-up:

A vouchier for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came together with my NVIDIA GTX 970 card. I hesitated initially as I am (or at least was) not really a gamer, but finally downloaded the game right before the promotion expired. What followed was a breathtaking sleepless journey through a story so personal that I almost shedded a tear at several plot twists. I've been literally glued to the monitor for hundreds of hours, playing and replaying each and every possible side quest I was able to uncover. I also eagerly read the entire Witcher saga and can only say that the game was made by people, who not only loved the source material, but also their audience. TW3 is not just a game but a marvelous piece of interactive story-telling art. Many still compare TW3 with Skyrim and Baldur's Gate and complain how shallow the character- and story-building element is in comparison to the latter games. I don't subscribe to that view. The story in TW3 is so intense that now Skyrim with its blank slate style seems really dull, and not only because of its older graphics engine (I tried playing the special version with high-quality textures to basically the same effect). As to BG, it is a game from a different era, following different gameplay and storytelling rules, and thus targeted to different kind of players (BG is basically an automated dungeon master). The two games are actually complement to each other and can be easily enjoyed separately for double total pleasure. And now, because I happen to own the game and all the expansions, CDPR also gave me the GOTY edition. Not really much to gain, but neverthelss a great little and much appreciated gift! Thank you guys!

Cool that console players get some good mods like Halk's HD rework, but for PC this update is kind of a joke (just like RT). Some of the mods have bugs that weren't fixed before officially being introduced into the game (Real-time Cutscenes cause a certain Yen scene to just not play). Luckily, stutters and frame pacing issues seem to be gone with latest AMD driver + enhanced sync, and I'm getting decent framerates on Uber+, no RT. But for some people, decent is not enough for a 2015 game, and I completely understand. The game is good and you can go back to the old version, so go ahead if you haven't played it yet.
