Currently waiting for delivery of my PC collector's edition, Amazon why did you have to pick Hermes UK?

And why would I want them?
Do ps4 users get the free armor dlc? I'm not seeing it in the ps store

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
1. I'm loving the controller controls, but I was also happy with using a pad during my replay of TW2.
2. Up to you. It's a good introductory to the kind of mission types you'll find outside. It's not like Hinterlands where it's all medial, boring shit though; the quests are simple, but interesting, and geared to your level. You can return if you want later on, so if you feel the drive to do everything by all means do so. Otherwise just come back.
3. Insanely huge with an insane amount of content. Just keep focused on main missions and exploring incrementally and you'll be fine.

I think Red Dead spoiled me in that regard. Mounting horses was perfect in that game.
As for the DLC, it doesn't seem to be on the store yet. Weirdly enough under 'New This Week' they're saying Final Fantasy Type-0 just released yesterday...

Waiting for work to end so I can go pick it up. Can't wait. Hoping this will wash out the bad taste dragon age left in my mouth.

Yep...Damn old eyes. Had to go with Large HUD and even then the text is small.
It's up in the EU PSN store.
Probably because that's type 0 without the XV demo.

So how do I display my trophies? I killed the Noonwraith in the intro last night and looted a trophy, but I can't find it in my inventory.
1. Try both and see which you like.
2. White Orchard is actually pretty cool, not at all a chore like the Hinterlands.
3. Just explore and have fun, there is no detriment to doing so -- just save often!. If you arent having fun exploring then stick to quests, they do a great job of leading you through the world regardless.
If you are in the US, the DLC will most likly be up when the store updates today if i had to guess. Which is usually around 3pm EST.

Ah that makes sense. Seems like a long time to keep that up since the demo was supposed to be pre-order/day 1 only, but I'm getting off topic.
Aside from the choppy frame rate, I think way Geralt controls is a design choice, in the same way killzone 2 was. As opposed to just being broken controls that some people are complaining about.
If you say move the analogue stick slowly to make him walk and then release the analogue stick, Geralt takes a split second to stop walking due to momentum built.
I do feel that over time people will get used to it if they give it a chance. I remember people complaining about killzone as again the momentum etc felt odd when compared to other games.

Anyone know of PC remapping software that will let me map simultaneous button presses to a single key?
Essentially I would like to bind quicksave to something like A+X since the game seems to already use all of the controller buttons in the normal config.

5 hours into this game and I know it's still very early especially for a game with huge scale like this but so far I really like the game. Playing this game on PC with everything maxed out except for Ambient Occlusion and the game simply looks amazing.
Combat wise TW3 is more or less the same from TW2 but more refined, which is good.
I also like how TW3 can be scary at times especially during the nights. I feel uneasy traveling through the woods during the nights.
Started out with keyboard and mouse control but in the end I find playing TW3 with X360 controller is far more enjoyable. But then again I'm a console gamer so maybe I'm just bias towards controller.
Again, this is just my quick impression of the game. My opinion might change as I play the game

First off, the HUD in this game is absolute trash. Customization does nothing to save it because the options are so limited.
However, it did get me to disable the minimap completely, along with pretty much everything but the Items in the bottom left and healthbar.
Playing on Death March + no-minimap, it's been an absolute blast so far. My only issue is that getting to the world map takes too many button presses. However, exploration for me has skyrocketed without a mini-map.
And the side-quests, they are fantastic so far. I finally managed to hit level 2 off the completion of one just now. Should make fighting level 6 bears and drowners... somewhat easier.

How do I repair damaged weapons? Found armor repair kits but no weapon ones yet.
Been having guards attack me for fighting things near the road - I think, so I've tried to be a bit more careful...but there were these drowners right near the road and just staying there so I fought them...near the end a guard comes by and after the last drowner falls, he goes near him (which is also were I was) and swings at it with his sword while riding his horse. I thought he may have been going for me but it was a bit odd as I wasn't THAT close to the road... yet he keeps coming by to swing at me, the drowner is dead. I walk off to the side...he's in a loop going for the dead drowner and then aligning his horse for another swing.
The spots in the outlined circles lol
Looks like dust on a camera lens effect. Why even...I dunno.

Yeah I'm sure it is a design choice. You can also see it in the way the way he makes a full 180 turn, instead of just instantly doing an about face as you would expect. I definitely started to get use to it last night. I'm still not sure it was a good design choice since it really doesn't seem like it adds anything but frustration in controlling Geralt.

For now pay dem fat stacks to blacksmiths
I love the way Geralt controls here. When fighting locked on and circling, he slowly stalks like a wolf would. Then once you get the timing with quick steps and rolling down it just feels beautiful. Like a dance of dealing death.

I've probably put like 5 hours in on the Xbox version and haven't really noticed anything.

There's the 16 DLC items (hair styles, armor, etc) that are free.
Then there's two big expansions which are part of the pass. One comes in October, and the other sometime in early 2016.
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification!

Are you on GOG, because I just visited him and no armor. Why doesn't this game have some kind of menu that you can see which DLC is activated.

GOG Galaxy download is slooooooooooooow AND it just crashed on me for no apparent reason. *sigh*
Yeah I'm having framerate issues everywhere.... I was playing a slideshow fighting a bear once.
Yeah you're right about the 180 turn, that's another good example, you can clearly see that he does a full animation, and if you try turning again before the animation has completed it won't do anything. In other games characters tend to turn instantly, with zero momentum and animations can break, it's pretty much set that the user inputs get priority.
In this game though until Geralts momentum has finished he's not doing anything. It feels weird but in the few hours I've been playing it's becoming "normal" and I'm compensating for it.
Sweet table-cloth jerkin!

Depends on how sensitive you are to things and how much they bother you. It's more than playable, and I suspect to the vast majority of people there's no issue at all, but people who are more sensitive to stutters might want to wait for a patch or two to address it. That's what I'm gonna do...if I can resist the temptation to play it, lol.
The stuttering isn't bad at all, it mostly happens when panning the camera slowly and in some cutscenes.

My laptop is pretty far below the min and I can run the game fine, played for like 3ish hours last night.
I get 17 fps in towns and NPC heavy areas but out in the open field I come very close to keeping a stable 30.
Game is very very playable.
Since that post I've been able to bump a few settings off low up to med and it looks better while running about the same.
Nope, PS4.
I simply downloaded the DLC, booted the game and checked the inn-keeper first, she didn't have it, but bram next to the inn has the armor pieces for sale.

Thanks. Does it not drop below 30 during game play (great if not).

Probably yes. Mine gets here today. Assuming they detail secrets and side Mission locations it'll be worth it as it will take a while before an online guide has the info
Other than a couple of stutters during conversations it has been great for me after over 6 hours. But it is a massive and hugely ambitious game, so I am sure I will see more niggles here and there. I say just get the game and enjoy.
