polish steelbook edition

https://cdp.pl/wiedzmin-3-dziki-gon-pud-ps4.html

this image is on the back of the steelbook

It wasn't available anywhere else?

it says in the description that novigrad steelbook is '' available only at cdp.pl''.

remember seeing few days ago that steelbook version was sold out but now it looks like its still available.

[flatout]

So was thinking... I mean this is how you view the statue so the face really is not something that is shown and it is not really what you see unless you get really get close up and look up at it from below:

I guess I understand if yours is comically bad or you are a perfectionist... but in my honest opinion it is still an amazing quality statue (overall) for a CE statue.

[CollectorFanatic]

What is with steelbooks lately having a blank spine?!?! You can't really display it on a shelf because its just blank and doesn't say anything. I absolutely hate it

Now I agree with the blank spine thing. That is a nono! :nono:

[CollectorFanatic]

It seems like every steel is starting to do that. Blank or have some stupid little design on it

[Pielord]

I'm actually really impressed with this CE, I've felt a bit disappointed lately in the lackluster CE's I've gotten (MK KE, Evolve CE).

Opening it up after I got in from work was fantastic, first really enjoyable unboxing since AC:U GE, so first one this year really. Hoping for a few more like this!

I'm looking at you batmobile edition

[KnightOfTruth]

Just wondering did anyone else NOT get the soundtrack in their CE game case? Mine says its supposed to be included but I couldn't find it inside? It definitely didn't fall out or anything either (as I looked all around just to be sure). :scratch:

[TheHeape]

Mine was under the game disc in "regular" game case.

Oh hmm... I wonder if it was in there then, I actually tapped the disc a couple of times to see if I heard something underneath, but it was like 4am so I might've missed it. I'll have to check when I get home, maybe that's where it was! (Didn't take my disc out yet).

[flatout]

Did you get PC or XBox? In my PS4 case it was in the booklet area.

[huntrodz]

I bought the PS4 CE and mine came in its own cardboard sleeve, it was located in the game case where the manual and map are.

Haha... moved it here since I was dumb and posted it as the 10th post on the last page :facepalm:

I got the X1 version and figured that it should be in its own case (like the PS4 one) in the booklet area (along with the map, arena DLC, etc. etc.) but didn't see it in there at all.

Also, what does the foam padding look like on the PS4 CE? The X1 version had a spot cut out for the gwent cards and I was just wondering if the PS4 version just had an empty space or if it was a different padding insert?

[huntrodz]

They must be different knight as my ps4 CE only has cut outs for the items the box contains.

Mine was also under the game disk in the game case. Somebody on eBay also messaged me asking the same question yesterday! XD

Bit of a daft place to put it imo. Would have been better to be in the steelbook.

[flatout]

Does anyone know if regular retail copies had the bonuses in the cases (like stickers, OST, and map)?

Wow that is awesome. Pretty good on them to do that even to the regular versions. I mean a map, physical soundtrack, and stickers are a great little bonus.

That's a bummer. Would've preferred the soundtrack to be in the little sleeve like in the PS4 version -- that way if you took it out it'd actually have something to sit in rather than getting all scuffed up and such. Also, I didn't see even a little slip or anything with the track lists (like the sleeve had). Seems like a sad oversight. (Still, its awesome that they included it at all, just saying).

[Vlad]

The sleeve was stuffed in a Jiffybag along with game and needless to say it's in a pretty sorry state.
http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i339/Cosmic_Link/Misc/FA010065-7D78-4F6B-8EF8-2B490CA7404D_zpsg8wfj608.jpg (http://s1088.photobucket.com/user/Cosmic_Link/media/Misc/FA010065-7D78-4F6B-8EF8-2B490CA7404D_zpsg8wfj608.jpg.html)

Same here, I thought I'd missed out on the sleeve because it just felt like a normal Jiffy and almost ripped it whilst tearing open the bag!
It's got a fair few creases like yours, don't know what they were thinking, I suppose at least they didn't just fold it.
Also, not saying it absolves them at all, but I am glad to at least have got one, was quite worried I'd missed out.
Have you seen the price they're listed at on eBay? It's mental.
Any idea where it says they're limited to 3000? I've seen that said a few times but I've not found anything to back it up.


Also, I didn't see even a little slip or anything with the track lists (like the sleeve had). Seems like a sad oversight. (Still, its awesome that they included it at all, just saying).

It's not perfect by any means, but if it helps at all, on mine (PS4) the track listing was on the disc too.


It's nice overall though, the statue is a tad less detailed than the shots I'd seen beforehand but its still good and I didn't think it'd match up to them anyway.
Still a bit disappointed at them giving MS physical exclusives, not for any biased fan way, more in the way that it was sad to see such a supposedly principled company side with a company that, at one point at least, was their polar opposite in what they claim to hold dear about DRM-free and all that.

I fixed it for you. You only put the last letters/numbers in for it to work.


The music is a bit loud, maybe tone it down a bit and make it more "background". Good vid though!

[MattTweeks]

Thanks for the help, and the feedback.

[xhunter]

My copy arrived today! Thank you, Knight!

My statue's face isn't too derby. Way better than what I have seen on here. His eyes are a bit of a painted mess, though. No big deal. A piece did break in the packaging, but I can't figure out where it goes! I think it came off the exposed shoe, but I have no idea. Help would be appreciated!

Makes me wanna open mine and see if anything is broken! Glad you got it though bud, and glad there wasn't any serious damage at all!

If I had to wager a guess I'd say that might be a piece to the medallion on his chest? Possibly also the sword on his back? If not, maybe you're right about the shoe? I'll take a look at mine later tonight and let you know if you don't get an answer!

Edit: Also you could check out Matt's unboxing vid above starting at around 8:32 or so he zooms in on the statue for quite awhile, maybe you could see something on there!

I was really worried about it because there is a USPS sticker on the outside that basically says "sorry for the damage." The shipping box appeared to be in near perfect condition, so I have no idea what that sticker referred to. The CE box itself has a bit of damage because Amazon sucks at packing stuff (giant box, no padding whatsoever so the entire CE box can slide around a lot), but I don't care too much about that.

The medallion looks intact and the piece appears to stick out of something, not lay flat against it. At first, I thought it was part of the sword hilt, but it doesn't appear to be.

EDIT: Thanks for the video tip, it is definitely the spur or whatever it is on the boot. Not sure how I am going to get it back in there. Might just leave it off. Anyone with suggestions for a type of glue? I don't want a melted mess attempting the repair with superglue.

The bit that was broken off, I think that is the hook on Geralt's back

Edit:

http://i62.tinypic.com/jhzbtk.jpg

Per flatouts pic, the hook below the sword. If not that then off the sword (handles)?

[flatout]

I think someone already said it... its the spur tip that comes off the back og het boot.

Any superglue is fine, it is polystone and will not melt.

[Vlad]

It's actually his spur on the back of his boot from the picture you posted.
If you look at your pic, there's a silver band around his heel, it's supposed to be on the back of it and alignment-wise, with the point (slightly longer edge) at the top near his calf and the shorter end at his foot. (I think the leg he has over the back of the griffin shows which way to further confirm it.) :)

EDIT: Ninja'd and just spotted you noticed it's the spur. (For some reason I can't delete this post though.)

[xhunter]

I'll give superglue a try. Not really sure if I want to try or not as I might just make a mess of things and it doesn't look bad with the spur missing.

So been playing on PS4 and I gotta say this game is pretty.

Stupid question I know but is the steelbook the same in the X-box one version as in the PS4 version or is one version G2 and the other G1.

Also do they both have two disc place holders or is that just The X-Box one version as shown in the earlier unboxing vid.

People are SO stupid. This previews are always vertical slices and they are literally call "TARGET RENDERS". Which literally means "This is what we are aiming to achieve."

Witcher 3 looks way better overall the Witcher 2 (I mean character design and facial animations are 1000% better)... also Witcher 2 was not as open world as this (or not at all really).

REally what this happens to be is sensationalist journalism... click bait.

Why can't I spend my character points? Won't let me... I click on what

You would be better just to watch some story re-caps. You will have to play at the very least 120 hours before even getting to 3.

[Vlad]

As far as the game goes, was just wondering, does anyone else think the text size is tiny?
I'm looting things and can barely see what they are or looking at the bestiary for instance and I really have to try to focus hard to make it out. Had a poke around the options but there's nothing to make text larger.

Heh, I feel old complaining about text size but I've never played a game where it's this bad, I think it's genuinely a bit of a poor oversight on their design front when you're 8'-10' from a 42" TV and feel like you need to invest in some opera glasses.

Thanks, I hadn't spotted that. :beer:
Good news, hopefully it will come to consoles.
It's a good idea about the PS4's zoom feature too, forgot it had that, enabled it there and whilst it isn't perfect by a long way, it's helping with loot/menus. (Also with being able to shortcut the accessibility features to holding the home button I'm having a bit of fun seeing what some stuff looks like with inverted colours enabled.)

My statue arrived broken. Geralt is broken off the Griffin, and there are three smaller pieces in the styrofoam. I hope I am able to receive a replacement. I could probably glue everything back together, but I'd prefer an unbroken one. Also I haven't figured out where all of the small pieces go

If you purchased it from GameStop, they can easily send for a replacement in-store or online. It usually takes them just a few hours to find out if their supplier has any extras. Same goes for Amazon but their customer service can be hit or miss. Worse comes to worse you can just contact the distributer directly (WB Games), but this typically takes forever.

So... have you burned the Xbox One version of the game yet? It's green, so I guess it can be burned without producing any pollution.

[KnightOfTruth]

So no one answered my question yet from earlier regarding the PS4 version -- did the foam come with the gwent cards inserts cut out already (and just nothing in them?) or did it have different foam than the x1 version?

I was thinking about it too but I probably be hit by customs too, although as I said before it was nice but at 3x the price + shipping and customs is killing it for me

I wager it doesn't come with the foam cut out with a slot for the gwent cards as if it wasn't provided with the edition anyway I don't think they would cut them out so that air would just fill the slots. Well if the PC version doesn't have it (the version I have) then I doubt the PS4 would have it too

Anyway the code for a free comic on the back of the compendium is invalid for me =/

I managed to get a set of cards and cloth map, now need to figure when to put them, don't want to cut the foam =/

I purchased mine from Best Buy. I posted a message regarding my broken statue on their forum. I find that it's often easier dealing with BB employees through the forum rather than calling. I also emailed WB games about the situation.

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt "Downgrade" RANT

[GODZYLLA]

@KnightOfTruth: No, the PS4 and PC versions have a different foam, only to accommodate the game/steelbook and the medallion.

Edit: The PC version comes in two game cases, so the cut is deeper, all the way to the cardboard box.

Here's a picture of mine:
http://thumbnails106.imagebam.com/41132/b26917411312982.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/b26917411312982)

[CloudyMemory]

So, since a lot of us can pretty much agree that the paintjob on the statue is quite horrendous I thought 'Screw it, I have nothing to lose,' I borrowed a whole box of Games Workshop paints from my friend and decided to take a shot at re-painting some of the worst spots. Unfortunately I forgot to take a 'before' photo, but let's just say that I got one of these:

http://i.imgur.com/XeCosYY.jpg

Here are the results:

Face & Torso: http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/CloudyMemory/IMG_0123.jpg

I ended up re-painting the entire face because there was a complete black and red mess around the eyes and mouth. I re-painted most of the hairline and beard because it was mostly gray without any texture with some haphazard white paint application. I left the eyes black because it doesn't really look that bad and I was a bit scared to go for realistic looking eyes. There was scattered paint on his collar so I re-painted that too, as well as most of the 'leather' and the 'metal' parts on it, and the necklace (it was almost completely black). Oh, and I gave Geralt some eyebrows :)

Head Back: http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/CloudyMemory/IMG_0125.jpg

Added some texture to that dark gray mess on the back of his head. I also restored some of his hairline behind his ear, since it made sense to me and it's kinda visible in the sculpt. This could look better, but I think it's definitely an improvement over the original.

Griffin Head: http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/CloudyMemory/IMG_0124.jpg

I kept the color of the inside of his mouth and repainted the tongue with a richer red with some added texture and gloss.

Silver Sword: http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/CloudyMemory/IMG_0126.jpg

Mine came completely and by that I mean completely black. No silver, no red. So I just re-painted it to hopefully look like it's silver and added some blood splotches courtesy of the 'Blood for the Blood God' paint from GW.

Sheathed Sword Hilt: http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/CloudyMemory/IMG_0128.jpg

This was a relatively small detail. Since the hilt of the sword seems to be made of leather in the game I painted it light brown and dry-brushed it with a darker color later.

These are the biggest changes I made. I also added a bit more gray to some of the Griffin's feathers with dry-brush techniques. There are a lot of air-brushed areas on the statue that would deserve a touch-up as well, but that's beyond my skills. As bad as the statue looked in the beginning, I can say I'm finally happy with it. Also, I'd like to say that that this is my first time customizing a figure/statue - and holy crap, it was a lot of fun. Let me know what you guys think!

UPDATE - FINAL VER.: http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/CloudyMemory/IMG_0143.jpg

Added some detail (gloves, griffin feathers etc.), corrected further paint errors and re-painted doublet to better match in-game appearance (previous version seemed too dark green). I also didn't like the red stain on the griffin's butt so I did this: http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad328/CloudyMemory/IMG_0138.jpg

So no one answered my question yet from earlier regarding the PS4 version -- did the foam come with the gwent cards inserts cut out already (and just nothing in them?) or did it have different foam than the x1 version?

I was wondering this too, and to back-up the answer above, I looked up a couple of PS4 unboxings and yeah, it just has holes cut for the game/steelbook and in the middle below that there's one for the medallion.

[Gazereths]

Good job on that repaint CloudyMemory, looks a hell of a lot better. The original is shockingly bad, what were they thinking?

It looks empty without the cards in there... :( Like there should have been something else! XD Anybody who is buying the Gwent Cards from somebody, like an ebay seller who is splitting the CE up should ask if they have the collector's box too and get it as a whole package.

Anyway, regardless of the sub-par paint job on the statues, I really like this CE. ^^

[KnightOfTruth]

Fantastic work Cloudy! And I'm a huge fan of the GW paints as well (from my old Warhammer painting days). Cant beat the names (i.e. Boltgun metal and Goblin/Snot Green were frequently used). I still haven't opened my statue, but I'm very likely to repaint depending on how bad mine is! You've inspired me! I'll take before and after shots and do the same if its necessary.

Then every statue, on the back where you never look, they may as well colour it red and mush it up because it isn't the focal point.

That's a rubbish excuse, and for what they charged for this (in my country anyway, $250) it's not acceptable.

[Viridius]

I paid $219 from eb...

But yes i agree with you. Statue quality control is getting really sloppy lately.

I got my Unity guilotine statue with the rosetta glued backwards on the back. No reply from ubi of course.

[Interinactive]

Alongside the deformed face, my TW3 statue actually has a crack running through the Griffin's head.

I doubt it would take much pressure to snap it off, if it doesn't fall off itself in time.

Let's not forget how many TW2 CE statues were broken or disfigured. For it to happen again in a newer CE... it's ridiculous.

Edit: I just submitted a request for a replacement.

Looks great! Awesome job!

Wish I had painting skills. I am good at modifying and fixing things but paint has never been a strong point.

Thank you! This being my first time painting a figure, I didn't know what to expect but in this case I was pretty sure that anything I'd do would end up only improving the look of the statue :)

Good job on that repaint CloudyMemory, looks a hell of a lot better. The original is shockingly bad, what were they thinking?

Thanks! Yeah, some pieces are a lot worse than others. I guess this happens when you try to hand paint thousands of statues. Some of the artists obviously didn't give too much of a damn.

Fantastic work Cloudy! And I'm a huge fan of the GW paints as well (from my old Warhammer painting days). Cant beat the names (i.e. Boltgun metal and Goblin/Snot Green were frequently used). I still haven't opened my statue, but I'm very likely to repaint depending on how bad mine is! You've inspired me! I'll take before and after shots and do the same if its necessary.

Thanks, Knight! That's great to hear. Sounds like you have a lot more experience painting figures than me. I'd love to see your results if you end up repainting it!

So after playing TW3 pretty intensely since launch I wish I had bought the XBone version.

Gwent is just an amazingly addictive game. Honestly I spend half my time playing it.

I haven't read this thread but I'm going to assume it's sold out everywhere....?

The cards on eBay have gone up in price at quite an amazing rate.

[flatout]

Wow, I still cannot believe how far down the CC went after the first batch of statues that i got.

Must have gotten overwhelmed with all the orders.

Talked to EB store > "we don't have anymore" > contacted CDPR who put me through to Namco > Namco put me back to EB > EB said send it back and we'll try to source you a new one

That is a lie tho. I checked their website, PC and PS4 version still available.

[Interinactive]

No, it's not a lie. The EB store that I called, as in the store I got it from, they don't have anymore (PC CE). In fact, there aren't any left in my state at all (NSW). You can see this if you click 'Find in store' on the EB site next to the product.

They sent me a postage label to print off and ship back to them free of charge

I really should open my statue and give it a check lol. I only took out the game and everything is still nice in the box.

[Interinactive]

The store I bought it from has no stock. <<<< The place I called first

EB HQ in Queensland has stock. <<<< The place Namco put me in touch with via a specific phone number

EB stores in other states have stock <<<< I am not in any of these states

PC <<<< What I have, not PS4

Which part of this are you having trouble with?

Edit: and you already edited your post. Of course you did.

huh what? Did you reread my same reply from before? I was talking of a completely different thing.

EDIT: or was there a phantom reply that I could not see?

[Interinactive]

My mistake, I saw your post, replied, and then I got the email about your original post and I replied.

Sorry!

I've been called out on lies for this sort of thing multiple times, sometimes even by publishers/developers, so I'm a little high strung when talking about it -_-

No worries mate no one is gonna scorn on this. I've seen multiple issue with the statue itself. I've seen one that have Geralt's left completely broken off the griffin and the sword broke lol.

Hopefully they can get a replacement for you :)

is it just me , the lighting or the statue on the right looks better? :think:

[ob1ob]

Here is my broken statue. I am not surprised that WB Games has not replied to my inquiry for a replacement. This is the third time for me that they have given terrible customer service. Fortunately I feel confident that I can repair it myself.

You missed the preorder from your local EB?

Order online from Australia, probably your best bet.

I did receive a replacement statue! It is in perfect condition. I retract my comment about their poor customer service. I am very pleased with how this was handled. The only issue is that the online form I sent was ignored, and after waiting 10 days I had to call WB Games to get this resolved.

[Interinactive]

I got mine replaced too, it came earlier today. It's much better. I can't spot any issues with it.

[flatout]

Good news guys, glad it got resolved.

[KnightOfTruth]

Darn, reminds me I have to hurry up and open my statue! :facepalm:

[bravoguy]

Glad it is resolved for you.
