I'm in Bradenton, Florida just south of Tampa, there's no GS midnight opening here, so I have to wait, the last half of a day is the worse. No early playing for me

Just made it out of the tutorial and, personally, I don't find the mouse/keyboard controls to be as bad as some people are making them out to be. Obviously the interface could be much better, but it's serviceable.
I'm liking the visuals a lot, too. Low-res textures, but things look great when not up close. Excellent art direction, but that goes without saying.
Good performance, too.
I'm running a Sandy Bridge i5 2500k@3.3ghz, 4GB RAM, and a 5870 1GB. All settings on Ultra, but MSAA turned down to 2x (FXAA on, though). I even have v-sync still on and it's running extremely smoothly.

I'm a few hours in now and I wouldn't say terrible. Yeah, it's a game made primarily for consoles so if you compare it to recent PC releases, the textures and some geometry look a little off.
It's still a beautiful game - this is it running on my laptop at high-ish settings, 720p, no AA:

Green Man Gaming, wtf.
Let me download it already.
Steam lets me play it. Why don't you?

Game plays and looks fan-fucking-tastic. Goodbye life!
I set it to Ultra and am getting 60fps rock solid running around in the wilds, with occasional dips to 55-57 or so when enemies show up, not sure what I'll see in big towns.

Oh yeah, like I said before, from afar, the game is pretty damn nice looking. But even on Ultra, up close...not so much. It really doesn't matter, given how big it is and how much there is to do. Just saying.Jibbed said:I'm a few hours in now and I wouldn't say terrible.

Ok thanks
I feel a little embarrassed that I have watched my partner play this today more than I care to admit. She's only done a few sidequests and such but it still looks like a great game to play. The overworld of Skyrim is quite impressive.
She came across a book about the Great War and told me to read it. Quite interesting.

Soo GOOD!
Started playing 11pm and now it's 7am and I have only done side quests so far.
Also it runs pretty well on my laptop.
i5 2.7ghz - 4gb ram - ati 5870 - 1920x1080
Autodetect put the graphic settings on high and 4xAA but I had some slow downs with that.
So I changed it to 2xAA and now it runs smoothly.

So I played for 45 minutes, here's my full review.
-Graphics are here and there, but gotdamn those rivers and streams looks great don't they? Don't seem to have any affect whatsoever on framerate either. Whoever came up with that earned their salary.
-Speaking of, walked over a waterfall and was surprised to find it pulled me through the current! That was fun.
-I like the interface. Seems elegant to me and it moves fast(that's really the most important thing). Also really like the new favorites menu thing. Pauses automatically and lets me scroll through shit I think is important. Way better than trying to hit 5 and 8 on my keyboard in the middle of battle.
-Executions already seem goofy and clunky. That's OK though, still glad they're there! Combat does seem to hit harder in general, and you can 'feel' spells a lot more, at least that's my cursory experience.
-Voice acting sucks so far but it gets the job done. Seems like it could use some work with spacing and panning and stuff like that; found it hard to tell who was talking when there's multiple people.
