Fierce_LiNk Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 The DLC is tremendous value for money. I seriously can't wait to jump back into this game. Been looking at screenshots for Blood and Wine. Seriously, it's my most anticipated thing this year. Can't wait! Hnnnnnnggggg.
dan-likes-trees Posted May 25, 2016 Posted May 25, 2016 Reviews are trickling out! Essential from eurogamer 9 / 10 destructoid and 9 / 10 ign Great reviews pretty much across the board. Bring it aawwnnn!
Jimbob Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Blood and Wine Gwent sets can be pre-ordered, same way as the Heart's of Stone. Prove you've got a digital order/season pass and voila.
Tales Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 I did that. Took a screenshot of my transaction history and two days later I got a code to buy both of deck packs.Was charged a few days ago so I guess they will be shipped on Monday.

Hold up. How do I do this? Is there a website to do so? Do you have to pay extra for the set or is it free if you have the pass?
Tales Posted May 28, 2016 Posted May 28, 2016 http://www.redeemgwent.com Cost me around 28 euros for both packs (four decks) including shipping.
Tales Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Holy shit, I just read the trophy list and there's a Skellige Gwent deck in the game! Edited May 30, 2016 by Tales
Blade Posted May 30, 2016 Posted May 30, 2016 http://www.redeemgwent.com Cost me around 28 euros for both packs (four decks) including shipping. When you paid for it did you receive a confirmation email?
Jimbob Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Got Blood and Wine downloading as i write this, should be ready to go once i get home this evening.
S.C.G Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 So as I understand it, there is nowhere selling the dlc physically with the Gwent decks this time? I bought the Hearts of Stone expansion pack off eBay but this time, the only packs with the dlc and Gwent decks are from other countries plus they are expensive, £35 - £50... I don't think so! :p The first one only cost me £16.90... I was expecting maybe £25 with the decks, I may well just do the digital download route and redeem Gwent I think, should cost me £12 for the dlc and £14 for the decks, right? Also I may finally get around to playing the game and the dlc this year, you never know.

Do they not have it on their website anymore? Maybe it'll come back in stock? Or might be worth checking out your local store to see if they have any.
Jimbob Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Had a few hours on Blood and Wine, bloody heck it's good. The new region is something else that's for sure, doesn't make you want to re-visit Novigrad/Velen. There's enough to do, including Gwent for those whom play. Only put in 4 hours so far, and thus have managed to visit most of the villages to unlock travel points, done a few main and side quests to name a few things. Back on it on Thursday evening and over the weekend. Edited May 31, 2016 by Jimbob
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Wow. This game is staggeringly beautiful. This is like playing a new adventure entirely. Both Hearts of Stone and this feel like more than just side-stories. They are pretty much like full games in their own right. Now THIS is how you do DLC/Expansions. I'm only a few hours in, but I'm in love with Toussaint. Woodlivein/10. This and Uncharted 4...this is why I game.
EEVILMURRAY Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I found the Gwent deck on sale in Cash Converters still sealed. Decided to invest, even though I probably have no intention of opening it.
Tales Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Don't havemuch to say other than Toussaint was a beautiful and fun world to explore and play in. Must have spent 30 hour or more in it. There's a couple quests left in Toussaint but I will do them now before work, but before that I mopped up the remaining battle related trophies in the expansions and the main game. And now the long wait for Witcher 4 awaits... Edited June 8, 2016 by Tales
bob Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 They've said there won't be a Witcher 4...they're working on a new game instead.
drahkon Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 @Fierce_LiNk you might want to take off your pants so you don't ruin them. Rumour: Gwent set to be a standalone game. Eurogamer.net
Blade Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 They've said there won't be a Witcher 4...they're working on a new game instead. Did they? I thought they said the Witcher series hasn't ended but the next one won't feature Geralt as the main guy. @Fierce_LiNk you might want to take off your pants so you don't ruin them. Rumour: Gwent set to be a standalone game. Eurogamer.net OMFG!!!!!!!!
Hero-of-Time Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Did they? I thought they said the Witcher series hasn't ended but the next one won't feature Geralt as the main guy. I've no idea if The Witcher is finished or not but this is their next game.
dan-likes-trees Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Come on lads give me the cred for calling it a couple weeks back yeah? Also, CDPR have been talking about 'a new type of video game format previously unexplored by the Studio'. Gwent standalone release? Perhaps along the lines of the Pokemon Trading Card Game for gameboy? You heard it here first....
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 @Fierce_LiNk you might want to take off your pants so you don't ruin them. Rumour: Gwent set to be a standalone game. Eurogamer.net Hnnnngngggggggggnnngggg. My fucking heart. I'm going to be devastated when I get to the end of Blood and Wine and have no more other cards to collect or quests to embark on. A standalone Gwent will soften the blow. I will lose my shit if we ever get a remaster or recreation of the Witcher 1 and 2 in the style of 3. The graphics and gameplay being reworked to work with the same engine and mechanics. It's never going to happen, but...oh my, a man can dream. Blood and Wine has been amazing, so far. I pretty much fell asleep yesterday with the controller in my hand. So tired...but want to play moar. Dis fuckin' game.
drahkon Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Well, exams are coming up in 5 weeks so I figured: The perfect time to finally give The Witcher 3 another go CD Projekt RED improved the frame rate a lot, didn't they? Impressive. And the menus are a lot smoother and clearer. : peace: Done the tutorial area and encountered the Griffin for the first time. Looking forward to spending more time with the game tomorrow
