Yep. In the style of Witcher 3 I can play forever.
if you are enjoying the witcher games you should definitely give the first game a shot. it's dated yeah but if you can get past the combat and visuals i think there's a fun enjoyable game there for any witcher fan. the visuals didn't bother me at all but the combat took some getting used to. that's definitely the biggest hurdle. i played it in 2015 (after playing w3 of course) so by that point it was already 8 years old. it's now 14 years old so...yeah i can't say how it holds up now but definitely give it a try.I haven’t got round to playing 1 yet, but I heard it isn’t exactly the most polished product out there. I’m still playing 2, and that has some rough edges of its own but visually it’s mostly fine. Just needs a few tweaks here and there.
I wonder if they’d give many upgrades to 2 with a remaster. There’s an official mod, made by a prominent modder for 1 that they later employed. It added new animations and changed quite a lot in the perk and combat systems. That could easily be revisited and worked into the main game. A few QoL upgrades that people mod on PC, like reducing the time before you can loot after combat, would go a long way to making it feel less janky and more modern.

if you haven't actually seen gameplay then check it out:
sorry i assumed you had played 3. personally i don't know if i would have stuck with W1 if i hadn't already played W3 first. have a look at W1 and if you think you will enjoy it then by all means play 1 before 3 but just know there's no harm in playing 3 first and going back to 1. the games kinda stand on their own so it doesn't really matter what order you play them. i did 3 > 2 > 1 but 2 > 1 > 3 would be fine.I don’t remember how or when, but I own 1 so I’ll definitely give it a chance before I get 3 at one of the deep deep sale prices it now goes for.
That’s very generous of you, but no need to spend money on me! I just meant that I have a backlog long enough to see me through to when I can take advantage of the low price it goes for these days - I’m in no rush. I was going to buy it recently, but I want to make sure I see 2 through before I buy 3. It’s been 7 years since I started, I always forget it’s there or I’m not in the mood for that sort of game. But it clicked in a way it hadn’t before when I recently played, so I think this could be the time I stick with it until the end. I might even replay it with that combat mod on Dark mode, that sounds very different.sorry i assumed you had played 3. personally i don't know if i would have stuck with W1 if i hadn't already played W3 first. have a look at W1 and if you think you will enjoy it then by all means play 1 before 3 but just know there's no harm in playing 3 first and going back to 1. the games kinda stand on their own so it doesn't really matter what order you play them. i did 3 > 2 > 1 but 2 > 1 > 3 would be fine.
if you have steam (and a pc that can run Witcher 3) then i'll be happy to gift Witcher 3 to you. just send me your steam name.
the GOTY is going for £7 on steam right now. not bad for about 150 hours worth of content (well that's how long it took me to get through it lol). i have some money in my account i can't decide what to do with so i'm more than happy to gift you it. its up to you but if you want it the offer standsThat’s very generous of you, but no need to spend money on me!

Going OT here, but you could always use a Steam trading card farmer and sell all of your cards to put towards a full price game when the time comesthe GOTY is going for £7 on steam right now. not bad for about 150 hours worth of content (well that's how long it took me to get through it lol). i have some money in my account i can't decide what to do with so i'm more than happy to gift you it. its up to you but if you want it the offer stands
done that a while ago. don't think i've got much worth selling. i bought a game a while back but refunded it so the money has just been sitting there lol i keep going to look for something to buy but can't decide. i went to buy star dew valley the other week but turns out i had already bought it long agoGoing OT here, but you could always use a Steam trading card farmer and sell all of your cards to put towards a full price game when the time comes
2nd game to this day still looks and plays great, gameplay is better then the 3rd game but id rather the first game got remade with witcher 2s combat and just the 2nd game aloneI think the time is right for The Witcher 1&2 remakes. The IP is probably at its peak of popularity right now and it will only get more popular with the season 2 of the tv series. Do you think CDPR would want to do it? Or should they focus on The Witcher 4?
By remakes i'm talking about complete overhauls of both graphics and gameplay (especially the combat) and even dialogues.
If they can bring them to the switch also. I think it would be a money maker.I think the time is right for The Witcher 1&2 remakes.

CDPR tend to strive for a strong graphical showing with their games, a Switch port would have to be done separately to not hold the other versions back. But they would do definitely well after the Netflix series and 3 being so popularIf they can bring them to the switch also. I think it would be a money maker.

Yes. The Witcher2 :Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition is playable on XSX and they added a really awesome intro movie.The story is indeed fine. But the way they sectioned the game and the areas within... I mean I literally 100% the game and did both storylines... the gameplay and combat felt boring. Witcher 3 was a BIG step up in every department. Besides 2 is too recent to need a Remake unless they make it open world.
When they finish that, I want them to remaster it.I want a Cyberpunk remake
Witcher 1 - proper remakeI think the time is right for The Witcher 1&2 remakes. The IP is probably at its peak of popularity right now and it will only get more popular with the season 2 of the tv series. Do you think CDPR would want to do it? Or should they focus on The Witcher 4?
