Man, I cannot be more excited for this game. I loved the second one, and I really want to play 1 and 2 before this releases, but I have such a hard time with the gameplay and pacing of the first one. I want to have a Mass Effect 3 save file kind of deal, but done right because CDProjekt.
Then again, not many people would get to take advantage of that. The only console that had Witcher 2 was the 360, and no console got the first one. People playing Wild Hunt on PS4/X1 can't import anything. Even on PC, Witcher 2 and 3 support Linux/SteamOS when the first one doesn't. Maybe I shouldn't sweat finishing the first one so much, I don't think they'd bother having so many people jump in at 3 if it didn't exist independently on its own merits.
Also, damn those graphics, even on Xbone. This is gonna be the game that'll either compel me to upgrade my PC, or pick up a PS4. Witcher 2 is probably the best looking 360 game bar none, and I can only imagine that Wild Hunt will finally push things forward in the meaningful way we were expecting.
