Lock if I don't have the power to be a player.

One of the best games I've ever played and it seems many others have gotten a lot of joy out of it as well. Any and all awards seem well deserved.

 

[wild wild rice]

Get that Hearts of Stone if you haven't already.

 

[CHC]

Crazy that a game can get such amazing press and sales, yet still drop in price so hard. It's good though, if it means more people will play it.

My personal favorite from this year as well.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Shocking.

hmmmmm. I wonder why, right?

Interesting.


Anyways, the game scored well among critics. I think it is fair to say the game is of high quality.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Just picked it up on PSN. Enjoying it a lot so far.

 

[Majestad]

That probably means Game Informer's GOTY will be the same. Best choice

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Bloodborne was robbed.

 

[Majestad]

Bloodborne was robbed.

Not really. The superior game was crowned.

 

[RespectThySole]

Fantastic game and CDPR deserves all the success.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

I came in for the sale and it's only physical console versions so Europe is left in the dust. That PC version is still full price, shameful.

I leave disappointed.

 

[Jarrod38]

Bloodborne was robbed.

Just let it go.

 

[AyanFaust]

Does anyone know if the code comes inside of the physical box that is shipped?

 

[PhoenixSFT]

I already have Hearts of Stone, but I may just get it for the Gwent deck...

PC version is on sale on Steam.

[Hyrule Warrior]

I would strongly disagree....of those two games, I actually enjoyed and finished Bloodborne. I couldn't be bothered to finish Witcher 3 because I got so bored, even though I was close to the end. Very telling I say when a game can make me so uninterested in even finishing it when I put so much time into it, yet I loved every minute of Bloodborne.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Crazy how a polish game wins 2015 year.

DO BOJU POLACY!!!

 

[Off-Kilter]

Witcher 3 got robed.

 

[border]

Crazy that a game can get such amazing press and sales, yet still drop in price so hard. It's good though, if it means more people will play it.

The game is more than 6 months old......almost everything gets cheaper as time rolls on. Only a few franchises can maintain a $60 pricepoint year-round.

 

[Virdix]

I already have Hearts of Stone digitally for the PS4 theme... Those Gwent cards are calling to me.

Pretty much everything dropped in price this year. Even games that released at the end of the year like Fallout, CoD, Battlefront, Tomb Raider, etc.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Anyone who loves Witcher 3 should buy Hearts of Stone. Its an amazing expansion.

Nevertheless, congrats to CDPR.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Bloodborne was robed

Lol, this is what I deserve for trying to be funny.

Bloodborne was robbed.

Bloodborne is 92 Metacritic, 9.1 IGN, and 9.75 GameInformer. If those scores are the criteria, then Witcher is the rightful winner.

My personal favorite from this year as well.

It came out in May...and a drop in price does not indicate "bomba" this far after its initial release.

 

[TheGrue]

I wish I could get the motivation to continue with this game. I think I'm about 50 hours in and just lost all drive to see it out. I beat Witcher and Witcher 2 and I think maybe the poor combat got to me after three games of it. It's so beautiful and I do like the stories these games tell, but I just don't enjoy the actual gameplay. Maybe I should just bump it down to Easy so I can mow through enemies and maybe get it done one day.

 

[dlauv]

I want that Gwent set so badly but their site never lets me buy anything.

Finding the Gwent sets standalone cost so much more.

 

[TaterTots]

I haven't really been keeping up with awards because opinions, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say The Witcher 3 has won the most GOTY awards?

 

[Tosyn_88]

I do plan to purchase this game again but I am waiting for when all the DLC has been released. It definitely set the bar for what an open world game can be and then some

No GS nearby? It says all the stores near me have it in stock.

Game has been out for awhile. Sold a ton at it's $60 price point so it makes sense to sell it cheaper during all the awards. "oh this game won goty and it's only $30, let me try it out"

pretty much only Nintendo hates price drops.

 

[Majestad]

Bloodborne is 92 Metacritic, 9.1 IGN, and 9.75 GameInformer. If those scores are the criteria, then Witcher is the rightful winner.

I don't think it has to do with just those 3 places.

 

[tearsintherain]

Can also buy it digitally for $25 on PSN/Xbox stores, although Gamestop is offering $12 trade in value which is higher than I expected. Still, its a 70+ hour game for most people so its not like you are going to beat it in a weekend and then trade it in.

I play a few hours a week, switched from physical to digital when it went on sale a few weeks ago (for $25) and its nice not having to eject the disc. I did buy the DLC at gamestop though for $10, you get a digital code inside and a deck of cards which I haven't even opened.

If you are on PSN and switch from physical to digital you have to redownload the game but keep your saves, on xbox you keep your install when you switch.

 

[Majestad]

I haven't really been keeping up with awards because opinions, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say The Witcher 3 has won the most GOTY awards?

Yeah, I think there's a blog that counts awards and the difference is like Witcher 87 GOTY's compared to the other closest game, which would be 13 haha.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

I'm so sick of this "meme".

It says you enjoyed one game more than another, and not much else.

Thanks, I wouldn't have thought they would sell it in stores.

Hopefully it wasn't. Damn thieves, they should pay for such a great game.

 

[Majestad]

Yup.

I'm really liking Fallout, but glad Witcher is trouncing it. Maybe next time Bethesda will try to be more ambitious and finally ditch their outdated engine.

 

[Dragon]

I tried firing up after a large break and kept getting owned by a werewolf. There's something just up with the movement that I despise. I even tried the alternate movement.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

This game is absolutely massive.

I'm doing Skellige missions at the moment and I have to be around 70 hours into the game...and I'm pretty sure I have a lot more to do. Insane.

And I own Hearts of Stone but haven't even installed it yet. This game is nuts.

 

[Bane]

Does anyone know if the code comes inside of the physical box that is shipped?

For Heart of Stone? Yes, there's a code in the box of Gwent cards.

HoS is another good 20 hours of excellent content.

 

[OrlanisWorks]

No Gwent Deck edition for PC?

Fucking bullshit.

 

[AyanFaust]

Perfect, thanks! The reviews on the site confused me a little bit since they we're saying it was in their orders or something.
