It's not about handling anything. It's fucking annoying is what it is with these random jabs in unrelated threads.
Such a lust for anger...
I'm ready to spend more time with Geralt, as are most of the women in Temeria.

Poor Metal Gear right?
Glad to see this expansion to wash out the disappointment I had with Metal Gear too. I can't wait to play this. New music too? Yeahhhh boyeeee.

Don't bet on it. You never know everyone's going to be crying over how the expansion disappointed them greatly and how it's the worst thing ever created. Won't be surprising.

I'm sure. Nothing is perfect and can please everyone. Im loving how CDPR has treated us as customers though. Tons of free DLC that would have been sold for $.99 from other devs*cough tuxedo suit* and a reasonable priced expansion with another one to follow. Say what you will on their game. But you can't deny they treat their customers well.

Think I'm just gonna buy the expansion pass and start my NG+ alongside Transformers
Last 3 years it's like everything I want comes out in October or November, it's driving me nuts

Yes, that's true. Amazing company.
Back to point, how does this expansion work? Can we start this separately from the main game or do we need the game installed? Any ideas?
You must have quite low standards for game play. Good game, but incredibly flawed.
There's honestly more annoying posts whining about the single post.
I agree it's not necessary here, but just ignore it for pete's sake.
You need to have the game installed. You can start it from the main menu where a level-appropriate character will be generated for you, or you can pick up the quest to start the expansion in game using your own character build.

Its integrated into the main game.

Mechanics aren't the only thing in a game.
I'm assuming you meant that since you specifically bolded "played".

I've started NG+, and have my character at level 44 or so. Does starting NG+ have any drawbacks, you think?
With a NG+ you need to be around level 60. I'll find the link to a CDPR employee's post on their forums.
Or he thought that the mechanics were passable and not a huge hindrance to the game.
I sincerely hope you don't turn into Overside 2.0. One foul-mouthed poster with a bitter yet understandable view towards the gaming industry is enough for my lifetime.

Basically, everything is 30 levels higher in NG+, yeah?

Dat arrogance, impressive.
Nice review scores, about what I expected, this being CDP who don't skimp on quality.
Mkay.
Meanwhile, the game must be doing something right in order to be such a critically acclaimed success. But I do respect your opinion, as there are many recent critically acclaimed games that I feel are complete shit. You like what you like and hate what you hate, I suppose.

Sarcasm? It's for one of the highest rated games this year lol.

Agreed. Can't wait.
That is how much I paid for it on the Playstation store. Hell of a deal.

I found the Souls games expansions insanely lacking, myself, especially Scholar of the First Sin.
Anyways, hype for HEart of Stone. The trailer was nuts. Immortality curses, bruh

Can't wait for this! The Wicther 3 is a massive game with plenty of hours worth of gameplay but it's not enough lol. I'm probably going to breeze through this expansion at an unhealthy rate.

I've been waiting to see if the pass goes on sale by Tuesday. If not I'll pick it up at full price(the pass that is). This game has been a tremendous value to me. 246 hours played on $20 I payed for the game 5 months before release.
This reminds me that I still need to play through TW3. It was one of my most anticipated titles earlier this year, but a new job, move, other gaming distractions, etc. have set it to the side. My coworker talks about it a lot, and everything about it sounds like something I will greatly enjoy!
Best thing you or anyone can do is simply not respond to it then.
I dunno why you thought this way. Sure, Witcher 3 had numerous flaws (Including the lackluster Act 3), but it was still an amazing game.
I had no reason to believe that CDPR won't deliver with Hearts of Stone.
Yes exactly. I had a great time with The Witcher 3. Easily one of my GOTYs this year, but it played poorly.
Seems like my post generated a lot of salt. That wasn't intended, just still irritated that they've not bothered fixing the movement yet (even after that one lame attempt).
Don't be so blunt: noted.
That's something I'm worried about: for me searching for Ciri fit the open world fantastically. After act 3, the open world felt like a chore to be in and would have suited a more linear style game.
Too bad WB Games is slacking here in NA. Nothing from any retailer, just CDPR saying "Keep checking with them!". :/
Watch it get GOTY on GAF twice.

It's not salt, or you being blunt. You said something stupid and people called you on it.
Saying a game is good, but flawed because it has awful movement mechanics and pretty weak combat is stupid? OK.
Having opinions differing from the majority is stupid. Noted.
Same, I contacted Amazon, they said they had No info.
WB dropped the ball her in NA. How can no side of the retail not have a clue?
