So close now I can smell it.

Currently sitting on a metacritic of 92 as well - good times ahead methinks .

The new cinematic launch trailer is fantastic. Reminds me of the Witcher 1 opening.

So tired, up all night playing Witcher 3

Minimal regrets

Had a very quick look at it last night - enough to look out at the view from the balcony and walk downstairs. Need to fix the HUD as it's locked at 16:9 ratio (which I don't mind that much) - already found a fix though so will change that tonight.

Same.

Oh god, so good!

Anyone else finding leveling painfully slow? Especially considering most of the quests you find are always above whatever level you are.

Important question about this game......do you need to pick flowers?

[Aromaci]

Yes, if you want to use Alchemy.

But not like in Red Dead where he was basically a florist with a gun?

Anyone know how to take screens via GOG Galaxy / Witcher 3... I know Steam is F12 and sometimes it's PrintScreen but that's not working for some reason.

Sorry - first time I've used it.

This game is crazy good, really enjoying it! Played about 8 hours yesterday! (had the day off)
Didn't realize how big the game actually was until i got to the second area.. with my OCD, this game will take FOREVER to complete.

@Aromaci: I am finding that it is taking a good while to level up as well.. I have played a total of 12 hours and am only level 4...

Don't think we'll be able to do screens from gog until they release the ingame interface.

So damn good - and I'm only in that supposed first area still. Beginning to come to grips with the combat. Fought a bear which I died a couple times but it'd been a while since I did that tutorial so couldn't remember all the buttons... quickly learnt off that experience.

Can't see for the life of me what the PC mob is complaining about - game looks bloody fantastic.

This video did make me go hmmmm. In terms of Nvidia blocking out AMD access to the game, low performance on older (or not their brand new range) cards, gameworks and more. The engine hasn't seemed to be as scalable as they were making it out to be with the steep requirements and patchy performance even on powerful systems.
Bit more depth to at least the questions raised rather than the "hurr durr downgrade crowd".


I have no idea why this isn't properly embedding

Having said all that though. I've still been blown away by the game itself. The level of detail in an open world setting I haven't seen before and story really is king even with technical questions about the engine. It looks amazing and is still running pretty great with what I have it set to (have it locked to 30 fps so it's stable but still looks good). Apparently Nvidia are working on a driver for Kepler cards, all but confirming there is an issue and I should see improvement specifically for myself.

I'm not having any problems at all - but I haven't bothered putting hairworks on, I seriously don't give a shit about things like that. Everything else is on Max/Ultra.

That too lol. I'm running on a GTX 670 so I am struggling a bit even without Hairworks (because your worth it, Geralt). Mix of medium and high and I'm good.
