Get Hyped

“People might think we’re putting sex into the opening scene for no good reason,” explains senior game designer Damien Monnier. “No, no, no. We are establishing that your character was intimate with this woman recently in order to plant in your mind that, at very least, he must enjoy her company.” In subsequent moments we see the pair gently flirt in an atmosphere of easy-going post-coital familiarity. Their secrets have been spilled and now, as she freshens at the mirror and he tousles her hair, a deeper affection between the characters is established.

“Through sex we have shown that this is a person who Geralt would be compelled to chase after if she went missing,” says Monnier. Five minutes later, the drama shunts into the future, a time when the woman, Yennefer, has disappeared. Your goal as lovelorn Geralt (accompanied by an older witcher named Vesemir) is to track her across the Skellige Islands. “Sex is the quickest way in which to establish the relationship and provide a justification for the player to pursue this woman,” he continues. “We couldn’t just tell you to go find someone you don’t know or care about. It wouldn’t work.”

With The Witcher series, developer CD Projekt Red has not shied away from the matter of sex, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be no exception. As long as developers are "tactful" about their handling of it, level designer Miles Tost says there's nothing wrong with including sex in a game.

"We make mature games for mature players (every Witcher game is for adults only), and sex is, well, a part of adult life," Tost said in an interview with PlayStation Lifestyle. "The key thing is not to overdo it, not to sell your game with sex. As long as you remain tactful in what you do, as long as you have a legitimate reason to put sex in your game, I think it's quite safe to do so."

I want to see the combat before I commit to building a rig for this beast of a game.

Can't see the link, but if it's a YouTube link, it's not enough. I want to see the *finished* combat, once everything is tweaked, and not a staged playthrough.

I hate how the lighting effects in the staged play-through is always like 10x better than the actual game that comes out 1-2 years later.

I pre-ordered a while ago, loved the first two games.  This one comes out on the last day of my course, if it had come out on schedule I would have been ****ed!

i'm a big fan of the books (read all five main story and the two short stories, translations and all) and really hope the game's ending is a worthy ending to the saga of the White Wolf.

I just hope my current rig can still run it like it did with the Witcher 2.

Won't be able to afford a new rig until after the summer.

That moment when you realize your top-of-the-line computer from 4 years ago will barely be able to run Witcher III on low settings...

My GTX670 might not do this game justice, I may have to finally get a 970 (unless an update is coming out soon).  I'm fine otherwise (X58 platform Xeon hex-core with HT @4.2ghz, 16gb ddr3, etc).

Just got this game because of the hype and my new PC. I'm about 2 hours into it now. Pretty fun game, which really surprised me because for some reason I always mentally associated it with Nicolas Cage:

So I gotta know... does the game get any easier to control if you use a controller vs keyboard/mouse?  I've always hated witcher controls/combat, and I'm afraid I'll turn this thing to easy and just play it once for the story like I did W2. :,(

You should play TW2 at least twice for the story of the other path.

But yeah, the sheer number of buttons makes it difficult to control on keyboard but reprogramming some buttons makes a big difference. But the game does have good controller support.

Also gtx460 master race.

I've heard the keyboard bindings are awful, started with and continue to use a 360 controller with great success.
