I think witcher 1 and 2 are less than €4 each on steam at the moment.

I played The Witcher a few years ago, enjoyed it a lot but never finished it. I bought The Witcher 2 on release from GOG, enjoyed it a lot but never finished it. Last year, I decided to replay W2 and finish it before W3 came out. About quarter way through, I decided to replay W1 first and then W2 before W3 came out, so I could have my choices from both run through to the new one. I didn't finish either of them.

What's wrong with me that I can't finish these brilliant games and should I take it as a sign to not buy Wild Hunt?

I really like Witcher 2, but couldn't be bothered finishing it. Made it to the 3rd large area, the City, and gave up. Was getting a bit samey for me. Witcher 1 was ok, but the controls were not for me so I arsed around the castle for a while and never went back. I can't stand Mouse and Keyboard. Witcher 3 looks to be more of what I'm after.

Yupp, looks like they brought the time closer to match the rest of Europe/US. Will have to keep an eye on it.

Someone broke release as there is people on ps4 playing on twitch streams.

Zero-Cool · 15-05-2015 4:08pm

Download is now live on Irish PS4. The auto download never kicked in for me. You can kick off the dowload from your library.

So this leaks early on the store and then the store goes down. Shenanigans.

tok9 · 16-05-2015 2:53am

It didn't leak. It's just pre-load.

It did leak, and has leaked for over a week now, people in the Middle East have had the game for the last week and this is the norm over there, they are notorious for breaking street dates gong back to both consoles.

He means it didn't leak on psn. Its freely for sale in Italy and Germany. I think London broke release yesterday as well.

Dipped into the witcher 2 last night to see what all the fuss is about, I wasn't expecting it to be so menu and inventory heavy, seems like there's a lot to manage between crafting, combat , traps, thrown items, signs , meditation etc . It was late when I started so I'll have another look later And see if it starts to gel a bit.

I wouldn't really consider that a leak though. That's just breaking the street date.

What! I'd be tempted to get it if I hadn't preloaded.

annoying the consoles always get the leaked games. Seems to me PC players always have to wait

It's usually the other way round imo with torrent sites and all.

I seen PC gamers giving out on reddit that CD Projekt won't launch the game now it broke release but the fact is they have obligations to retailers and other online distribution systems.

Some of the latest biggest 'leaks' have been on console, actually. GTAV leaked on torrents site for last generation consoles a week before official release I remember reading.
