Looks like they've done a lot of performance tuning in the last 2 weeks.

I wonder if the review copies have this performance improvement patch. May be this is why they couldn't send Xbox one review copies.

[Alcoholikaust]

Good.

 

[10k]

And it begins....

 

[GoonerTRON]

Do the Nvidia bundles count?
Still fucking awesome! Don't let us down!

 

[Peterthumpa]

Dat pre-order upgrade.

 

[xenist]

Now all that remains is for the game to be good.

 

[fastmower]

Wow. That has to be quite the record for CDPR.

 

[Denton]

Need some comparisons.

I remember that Witcher 2 sold 200,000 first week, so this is insane increase game on game.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

It is amazing to see the series has come so far.

No doubt focusing on the current generation consoles has helped boost the appeal of the series.

 

[slash213]

do we get reviews tomorrow?

 

[Jb]

First game I've pre-ordered in years. CDPR deserves it.

 

[PFD]

Awesome! Now I gotta clear some space on my SSD to start the preload...

This also happens to be the very first game I ever pre-order. I'm usually against preorders, but CDPR won my heart

 

[IvorB]

Wow the thirst for RPGs is real. F**king great. I hope Capcom is noting this.

 

[raven777]

wasn't witcher 2 on PC only at first, and later on xbox360?

 

[Cruxist]

I know people love this game series, but this many pre-orders is terrible.

I know everybody is anxious to get their hands on this... but we need to stop encouraging pre-orders. It's a bad practice.

 

[EatChildren]

One million preorders for a 1.5/10 game at best??? This is the age we live in.

Although I am part of the problem, I agree.

 

[KorrZ]

Good for them! I really want to see this game do well, the more games of my favourite genre that sell well the better for me.

I don't ever pre-order myself, but I'll be supporting them with my $60 day one.

 

[Slowdive]

do we get reviews tomorrow?

Yes.

 

[hodayathink]

Not all pre-orders get purchased, and it helps that this is the first time the series has been released on consoles and PC at the same time.

 

[Denton]

wasn't witcher 2 on PC only at first, and later on xbox360?

Yes.

 

[Klossen]

I am a hypocrite. Whenever I hear the word pre-order, my stomach is filled with dread. It's the cause of so many bad habits in this industry.

Yet at the same time, my Steam is patiently awaiting the Witcher 3 pre-load. I hate me.

 

[Nugg]

Do we know when we can expect the first reviews?

Edit: beaten, tomorrow I see

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I'm 1 in a million

 

[Nightengale]

Not trying to be a party-pooper here, but I wonder how many of said pre-orders are from the pre-order tickets available in regions like PSN Asia....

Where there's basically zero commitment needed to pre-order.

 

[Welfare]

Not all the time. It's a good way for stores/publishers to see what the demand will be like for the game to properly stock the game.

 

[Boke1879]

Game is about to sell gangbusters

 

[BatSu]

 

[10k]

Dat pre-order upgrade.

"We downgrade our games so you can upgrade your preorders"

 

[Momentary]

Can't wait to see what Steamspy says 2 weeks after release.

 

[Skilletor]

It makes me happy when people get salty over pre-orders.

Good news for a good developer. I'm waiting on more info and footage of the battle system before I commit.

I preordered on Amazon. No risk at all.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Good to hear.
Bringing the game to consoles was a smart move, and I'm a PC only.
Good games for everybody, fuck exclusivity.

Now start pre-loading on Steam CDPR

 

[Denton]

I know people love this game series, but this many pre-orders is terrible.

It is a bad practice with bad developers.
With good ones, who never let me down, like Obsidian, Larian, CDProjekt you bet I am going to support and preorder the shit out of them and feel good doing it.

 

[Nightengale]

One million preorders for a 1.5/10 game at best??? This is the age we live in.

THIS IS THE LIBERTY WE HAVE WON FOR OURSELVES!

 

[Ricker]

It's good...but is this on all 3 platforms or just PC...? still,I am sure the game will sell over 3 millions on all platorms.

 

[OnionPowder]

One million preorders for a 1.5/10 game at best??? This is the age we live in.

When will people learn to not trust these sneaky developers!!!

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

So the "No Preorders" campaign is going great I see.

 

[dugdug]

Yep, literally groaned when I read the title.

 

[SubiyaCryolite]

Oh yeaaah

 

[Kill3r7]

Good for them.

 

[englandprevails]

I preordered for the preloading convenience on the PS4. Normally I dislike preordering unless it offers some kind of bonus to my time.

 

[Prine]

Got mine preloaded on my X1, god damn 19th May

 

[ironcreed]

Sometimes you just know when a game is going to be something special.

 

[Chris1]

How does this compare to preorders of other games? I always thought preorders were a fraction of sales, but 1m seems a lot?

 

[Give War A Chance]

I thought we hated pre-orders on NeoGAF? Is this real life?

Spoiler

Pre-orders are fine, congrats CDPR

 

[Qassim]

I know people love this game series, but this many pre-orders is terrible.

I know everybody is anxious to get their hands on this... but we need to stop encouraging pre-orders. It's a bad practice.

Nah. I don't see what differnece it makes if I preorder it and get to preload it or just wait and buy it day one anyway?

Unless you're telling me to not buy games day one either..? I've literally never bought a game that I specifically regret pre-ordering.

 

[SubiyaCryolite]

So the "No Preorders" campaign is going great I see.

Personally I feel it depends on the publisher and the franchise.

 

[gigantor21]

One million preorders for a 1.5/10 game at best??? This is the age we live in.

Should you be spoiling the score on your review before the embargo is lifted?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I know people love this game series, but this many pre-orders is terrible.

I know everybody is anxious to get their hands on this... but we need to stop encouraging pre-orders. It's a bad practice.

I want the game, I want the pre-load, and no amount of negative reviews could get me to not play it day one. Why wouldn't/shouldn't I pre-order?
