You guys are so angsty. Have some faith.

You are talking to those whose faith has been destroyed by Bioware a hundred times over with their ****ty sequels. Trusting another company is not an easy thing, especially when CDPR is saying things like this.

Did the Elves found the Crucible?

Nah, that was the Vrans who were later turned into liquid goo to preserve them.

That's the right mindset. Better to be pleasently surprised than being all hyped and then disappointed.

Why its weak? Becuase other compaines did medicore/bad  jobs with it? Im all about bashing pitiful games or such but before we have anything solid about game/subject, I find this kind of bias a bit extreme.


And they only are saying humantiy. So dwarves and elves are OK. I dont mind elves but as long as dwarves are OK im OK

[hangmans tree]

Threat to humanity might mean the Wild Hunt mustering a whole army to flood the known world with Blitzkrieg. That was their agenda in the first place. Red Riders are looking for an elder blood to open the doors between the planes/worlds. Maybe we will deal with another invasion? Those elves exterminated a world full of humans when they skipped witcher world during conjunction of the spheres (if the memory serves right)...left only the females to serve as slavework.

No big bad evil please.

Come on Seboist, it's been clear from the TW the last confronation for Geralts story in the games would be with the King of the wild hunt, his real form. There is no way you did not see this coming.

Hell, the game is called the Wild Hunt, that's a very good indication of what will happen.

Digital versions of Witcher 1 and 2 on sale for the next three days

Bit belated, but thanks for that heads-up. Premiere purchase for me on Steam...

...and not regretting it too. Already finished TW1 - a hell of a game in itself - and enjoying TW2 too thus far, into the beginning of chapter 2. Iorveth is a baws.

Womanizing did somewhat put me off at times, but then again, Geralt the barbarian of Rivia does remind me of a few token fictional characters, for whom that is a staple...

That direction was already a given in TW1, to be had, given the sneak-peek of the frozen future by the Grand Master. Despite employing time-travel, that plot-strand was quite well-done, even. Ominous kid-character included...

Well of course but I hope he's not another Archdemon or pre-ME3 ending Reapers.

Do you what annoys me? People that were balanced and acknowledged the strength and weakness of Bioware sequels (Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3) but then decide to jump on the bandwagon after the people started to b*tch. 

Those games were enjoyable but were disappointing sequels. We don't need such polarizing language like go declaring Bioware "destroyed" your so-called faith (lol) with "****ty" (in your opinion) sequels. 


I don't think sh*tty means what you think it means.  

As for whole angst, this is why I hate fanboyism in general. Fickle creatures... You NEVER trust a business no matter how good they are. 

You decide for yourself with good, strong facts rather than some snippets of some interview. 

*sigh*

That said, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt have plenty of time to prove that it's worth pre-ordering etc. Until then, lets wait and see, eh?

The big bad evil isn't the Wild Hunt.
These guys aren't native English speakers, it got a bit lost in the translation.
Most likely (according to some posts on TW forums), the threat to "humanity" is a threat to society and the way of life in the North - in the form of invading Nilgaardian army.

The Wild Hunt is only a part of Geralt's personal story, not a threat to the world.

So yeah... Rexal. Politics are still HUGE in TW3 apparently, just that Gealt's personal's quest gets more attention and a closure.

[Dutchess]

Perhaps some people should also consider what Geralt is and is supposed to do as such? Witchers are monster slayers. They are meant to protect humans from monsters. The Wild Hunt is abducting people, so besides Geralt's personal reasons to chase the Hunt, he also has a professional reason.

Exactly. The Wild Hunt was always looming in the background, and it's obvious they'll be the "threat to the human race" in TW3.

I for one,  refuse to  "prepare for the worst"  or  "keep my expectations in check" or whatever.

When a gaming company goes overboard with their hype and their promises, they should be held accountable for every single one of their hyperbole-filled statements  if their game fails to deliver.   And the reverse is also true.  If they go out on a limb and promise the moon and stars, and then the game ends up  meeting or exceeding the Hype, then the fan praise should be limitless.

 All accomplished gaming companies know full well that those are the  stakes of the gamble. No reason for  us, the consumers to  expect anything less then what the marketing department is promising.

No argument from me that a game company's feet should be held to the fire if they foul up. Lord knows the contempt I have for Capcom and other companies that fail to deliver due to malice or ineptitude.

Agreed - while I would expect any company to say their product is awesome - it is kind of their obligation to do that, it is where knowingly... wrong... promises are involved, or anything that feels deceitful, that I think causes their reputation to swirl down the plug-hole.

"This is amazing and awesome!!" is one thing, but "this has features X Y and Z" when it doesn't, or omitting to mention massive paradigm shifts in what you're getting, these things deserve to be called out.

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst - is some pretty great advice on a personal level though, in general.

No, they just don´t have the numbers to become a world wide menace. Nor is it their goal, they have no interest in conquering a world heading towards an ice age. Without Ciri, they lack the means too. It´s also likely Emhyr is trying to prepare everybody against it and that´s why he´s invading again.
