But I guess they do like to joke about GOG closing down and to then do a mea culpa video afterwards, wearing monk robes?

Oh, and that they don’t like treating customers like criminals. A guy from GOG then came on stage to say that they, on the other hand, can and will do just that.

GOG.com will have the same price as Steam, but will offer a completely DRM-free version! While CD Projekt RED said in the conference that they would love to provide a DRM-free game for every outlet, they can’t do that. Pre-order bonuses have not been announced yet. Steam pre-orders will have 10% off the retail price for the Digital Premium Edition and will have the standard Steamcloud saves and achievements. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be available worldwide on May 17th. Read on for some of the more interesting digital distribution deals. New partners and retailer-specific deals for bonus content will be announced as the release date comes closer. North America will have GameStop and, The UK will have HMV and .uk. Pre-order bonuses are varied and will have DLC deals depending on the retailer. it will be $129.95 and will only be available at GameSpot and Amazon. While they didn’t announce a price, we’ve gotten confirmation that for the U.S. A special DLC Jacket that boosts Geralt’s swordfighting techniques, a big computer generated sculpture of Geralt’s head, a 200 page hardcover artbook with glossy pages, three stickers, and a deck of Witcher 2 themed playing cards. The Collector’s Edition will come in a giant box containing everything from the Premium Edition and more. Papercraft sheets will apparently be printable. This version will retail for $49.95, £34.95 or €49,95.Ī Digital Premium Edition will have all of the above, in digital form. Included are a bonus “Making of” DVD, soundtrack DVD, manual, game guide, map, a pamphlet representation of an in-game item, a coin, and two papercraft sheets. The Retail Premium Edition will be the “normal” one, and comes with a lot more than most other “standard editions” do. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will have two editions. EGADS!Īlso, a fresh install would mean that you have to download all the patches again, so it would come close, if not over, 20gb.CD Projekt RED’s live conference gave a lot of information about The Witcher 2: where to pre-order, what pre-order bonuses are available, and a confirmation of the Collector’s Edition details previously leaked by Gamestop. 😵Īlso, a fresh install would mean that you have to download all the patches again, so it would come close, if not over, 20gb. It took me about 1 hour, but someone is a country far, far away. True, but I feel very, very sorry for people with below-average download speed.įirst, you need to download 10gb, then an additional 400mb to replace the broken parts as described on the witcher site (and on the first page of this topic, kudos+!) So a big thumbs up to CD Projekt! May companies like EA, UbiSoft learn from this as investing millions into copy protection is going to do nothing but just motivate people into piracy. Since I received a free upgrade, I was happy enough to have bought the Enhanced Edition of the first Witcher which is on sale on their site (I actually own a Retail US version of that game, which doesn't have all the goodies and is censored). Such developers motivate people into actually buying their games rather than downloading them illegally. I'm willing to forgive many issues when a developer goes this much out of their way to make me feel I've gotten my monies worth by providing so much additional content and support for free! There aren't many developers that provide this much value for their titles.

Yes, that sucks (as it's 10GB+) - but it seems there were some corrupt files in the pre-load. Try D/L all parts again from the page I linked. I tried the thing you said but it said I needed pack3.bin or whatever. I may just uninstall the one I have now and install the new one tomorrow. I am buying the EE from GameStop tomorrow as well. I keep getting an error code when I try to install the EE patch. Here is the fix:ĭ/L parts 1 and 2 (just a bit over 512MB total) Many are getting an error when trying to install.
