The (paid) DLC is apparently very, very good, so consider dropping a few quid on that - at the moment only the first pack is out which is IIRC a 10hr campaign either difficulty ramped up a bit. I'm waiting for the second to drop before diving into them both. The free DLC isn't bad either but it's mostly a few one off missions at best an hour long. Such a good game though. Easily top 3 last year and probably not far off that for the generation to date for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I downloaded the first paid DLC pack last night, according to the ad it's 30 hours. And I agree, after finding it a bit under-whelming at first, I loved it by the end and is right up their for game of this gen, for sure. It's not perfect, but the world they built is brilliant and very immersive. It has a decent sense of humor as well, eg When you're giving Triss one in the lighthouse, the mages on the ship think you're signalling them...."H...K...A...G...L...P", what does it mean?!" It is very much like RDR, but seeing as that's my favourite PS game of any era, no bad thing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 30 hours is for both of them, with the second one accounting for most of it. Took me a while to get into HoS but once it got going I flew through it.

Rino8 Posted February 25, 2016 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 25, 2016 30 hours is for the second DLC which is going to be a lot bigger than the first. This one is more like 15 hours. 15 hours of a game this good for... £9? Can't argue with that. I loved the DLC, it tells a more compact story and there are plenty of moments as good as anything in the main game. Buy it. If you're not completely burnt out with the game it's too good to miss.

Risso Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Going to give it a while. I loved the two main set pieces towards the end of the main campaign, but the other quests had started just to become a little bit samey. Not arsed about venturing into yet another cave for a little while. I also ran out of Gwent opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the free DLC is bugged. The Fools Gold DLC mission has a bug I've just come across where you can't speak to someone to progress the mission. Nothing I can do improves this, even a reload to earlier save. It's a glorious title but there's some really shoddy stuff in it. I have to say that I've yet to see a single bug or glitch in the game, and I've done just about everything that it's possible to do. Every side quest, every bit of Witcher gear, every contract. Actually I tell a lie, thinking about it, in one of the Ciri bits she got stuck behind a cart and couldn't move, but a quick reload and all was good.

V01 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I don't believe you. I had a quest on Skellige that couldn't be finished, you end up having to fight a werewolf type thing and it sinks into the ground and you can't hit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Well I've dispatched lots of werewolves, and never had that happen. What quest was it? I'll happily post a screenshot showing that I've completed it. If it's the one where the werewolf is in the cave in the garden, he never sank into the ground.

V01 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Skellige's most wanted When his death animation kicks in you get stuck in a loop and can't finish. I'm not calling you a liar or anything, the bug was known about pretty much from launch and still wasn't fixed last time I played. I fully believed it would never be fixed.

I think you've benefited from playing a patched up version of the game from the get go, which is testament to the work CDPR have done post release. I was having the game patch as I went and ran into a lot of bugs. I was unable to clear a basic mission in the first 2 hours of the game as the scripting broke, the Fools Gold mission was broken until a patch months later, I also had the Skellige's Most Wanted glitch VO1 mentions, which was never fixed and appears to hit randomly. And that's just the major ones I remember off the top of my head. It was/ is a very buggy game, particularly to start with, and I hit a fair few. But, despite that, I still adore the game and think it's up there with the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Fair enough, I did come it to late, hence why I'm still playing and hardly anybody else is! But other than the annoying-at-times controls, which I got used to, I've not had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 2, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2016 I encountered shit loads of bugs. None of them game breaking, but plenty of noticeable glitches and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 The DLC Hearts of Stone is brilliant. When's the next one out? I'm all L39 geared up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30, 2016 Put this down one day and never picked it back up. Don't know why, I was absolutely loving it. PES took over! Determined to get back into this this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightysasquatch Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm kinda tempted to get it again to play the Dlc. Think I put round 150hours or so into it, bought the Dlc about a week after release but when it came out I just didn't really fancy playing it again.

V01 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Gwent early and often, I found out I'd missed out on a card after a certain quest and sacked it off, my life is poorer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
