The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Looks impressive, as usual. However as I seem unable to get past that stupid, annoying squid boss in Witcher2, it may be about ten years before I finish it and am in a position to move on to 3. :-)
 
All sounds awesome, assuming the first thing they did was take the combat system from Witcher 2 and throw it away, never to see the light of day again. If they did that, I'm hopeful.
 
They need to nail the horse riding, only one game that I know of that pulled it of and that was Red Dead on the 360/PS3. Really looking forward to this, I guess I need to finally upgrade my 6950 lol.

Glad I'm not the only one. I've had loads of advice, and even bought an XBox controller to try and master the key combos required to trap and slash tentacles. But in the end I just got thoroughly cheesed off with the whole artificially structured battle and binned it.

Shame, but I hate game design like that. Give me a slow, thoughtful option as well as a fast, twitchy one.... especially on easy! :-)

Of course what I hate most is that even as I'm typing this, part of me's thinking... go on, just one more try! Except that's what I thought last time, and the time before that, and... part of being an adult is knowing when you're beaten. That thing beat me like a red headed stepchild! :->
 
Cayran took me about 10 tries, but the feeling of achievement when it died was nice.
Super easy compared to some Dark Souls bosses though (orson/smough !).

Nonetheless, they already confirmed that NO bosses like that will be in Witcher 3. All enemies will be purely in gameplay, no QTEs and gimmicks.
 
There's a knack to it, much like most games like that with a difficult learning curve. Once you've got it, it's easy! That boss is one of the easier ones too lol.

Use the specific Cayran traps if you have them, it's not a must to make them for the boss fight iirc, but they do help.
 
I didn't think it was possible, but I think I am looking forward to this more than any other game ever(more than Skyrim even!).

The plot is very much A Song of Ice and Fire by the looks of it.
 
The first two games didn't really grab me, think I got through about half of each then lost interest. Odd, because they should be right up my street.
 
Not played the first but really liked the second. The second didn't have a lot of variety to it though. Hope this changes for third.
 
I only just got Witcher 2 in the Steam sale, really enjoying it! Will be getting this as soon as possible if I keep being entertained so much!
