If they dropped Half-Life 3 one day without any warning whatsoever, it'd still sell millions and millions of copies near-instantly. I suspect they're the only company capable of doing such a thing though. I suppose they could. For a digital only, PC exclusive it could work. But then they potentially pass up those sweet, sweet pre-orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you don't pass them up at all; Steam has them all over the place and even lets you pre-download if you've preordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in the context of a game never having a set release date, or possibly never even being officially announced, just getting released out of the blue a la Beyonce's last album. You couldn't have pre-orders for something people don't know about. But on the point of pre-orders being less important for digital only games, that's true.

karaddin Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I think Bioware are trying to play it very cautiously with the marketing for ME:A after the satisfaction problems with ME3. You can't oversell promises of what you can do in the game if you don't really say anything about what you can do at all! That said, I definitely expect a lot of info to come out now.

Shryke Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 More important then any silly news out of Bioware, Blizzcon starts in like ... 3 hours. Should be some interesting info coming out. At this point I frankly can't be bothered to type out what the rumours all are. Fuck it, we'll know for sure soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'm just hoping for a Diablo 3 xpac or Diablo 4 announcement. Other than that this Blizzcon doesn't have me too excited . ETA: OK, Tri-Class cards for Hearthstone are pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melphis Amekia Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Sombra looks amazing. I can't wait to play her. And her animation short... omg. The Overwatch League is also something amazing which can only happen with a huge playerbase like Overwatch and League of Legends can have. If I didn't have uni, I'd be searching for people to prepare to play in it now. The Arcade with more game modes also sounds like a lot of fun. SC2 gets Alexei Stukov as a new COOP commander(awesome), last Nova DLC pack on 22nd and that they'll be developing Deepmind AI to conquer SC2 they way it conquered GO, and all of this is absolutely awesome. Wish I could buy Stukov and Nova as commanders, would probably be the only two terran commanders I'd play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Necromancer class being added to D3 and the remake of first game in D3's engine is pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Won't get me to buy the pack. I'm a bit eager for more details on the D1 dungeon. So it will have 8-direction movement, but with the current classes? D3 item system, or D1? I spent many hours hanging out in the battle.net Sorcerer's Tower chat room, and hoping for sweet Zodiac rings. I wouldn't mind playing a pretty version of D1, depending on the details. The Necro was my least played class in D2, so I really just don't care much about it. Diablo 3 is just a cesspool of terrible itemization and boredom. I'll be much more excited for Path of Exile's 3.0 expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sci-2 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 This is a free code for Dex: XR52959605AF32FCA4 [Got this from XP on purchased games but already have it. Not a bad indie game so far - only played the intro part.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 That reminds me... What the fuck happened to that steampunk game we got a trailer for and never heard of again? that was like... 3 or 4 years ago. Is the project dead? Didn't someone already ask this last year? Was it me? I'M SO CONFUSED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melphis Amekia Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 It's in development and I don't think will get released before 2018. They probably underestimated how much time they are going to need to finish both Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077... by a LOT. Since CDPR has been very succesful, I am reasonably confident it'll see the light of day. On the other hand, colour me surprised, cause damn Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is actually a damn good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Yeah, Cyberpunk 2077 is an absolutely monster, monumental game from everything they've been saying. Bigger, by far, than The Witcher 3 and with more reactivity. Remember that The Witcher 3 only came out in early 2015. I'm not expecting Cyberpunk 2077 until 2019 at the earliest.

briantw Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 CDPR basically has a free pass right now. They've moved into the "instant buy" category for me as a result of Witcher 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helped by a bug in The Witcher 2 that I can only overcome by reloading an autosave and completely redoing the last 2 hours of the game.

I never finished either of the first two Witcher games, but I finished the third one and the two expansions. It's just so much better than the first two, and the writing and acting got significantly better as well. The writing in the second game really suffered from the translating, I think, whereas the third one might as well have been written in English originally. Just a much better translation job.

Her hacking and EMP seems a little too hard counterish. Would have to see how it actually plays out, though.The video I saw wasn't too informative. No cooldowns or range or anything.
