Another thing, when people say the game crashes ( like when playing cards) is it just the game that crashes and you're able to just close the game and start up, or does the console crash with it where you have to restart your console?.
It's weakness are
Grapeshot, Hybrid Oil, Aard, Quen
When he fly around and try to grab you, shoot it with your crossbow it'll crash down. Drink a Thunderbolt potion when you have a good opening and go to town on him. At half health you have a breka and you gotta chase him, you can full heal then. Never stay in front of him he has a surprising long reach/wide arc attack
Pretty much, some little issues, Gwent is pretty broken, but other than that it's fairly solid.

Eh, I'm not sure. I've yet to try the galaxy yet.
I heard it's still a buggy mess. Infinite download loop, etc.
The quality of the atmosphere, insane level of world building and design, the story telling, side quests, the voice acting and the world itself is on another level. Add in some greatly improved and just plain fun gameplay and it is just a behemoth of a game. It's a once in a generation type of experience and that is not hyperbole.

I'm going to say near flawless. People will say there is stuttering and framerate issues but I believe it's from the camera not panning properly and causing hiccups.
I made a comparison video showing it off in another thread. It is kinda annoying when the camera stutters but I'm assuming it's an easy fix

Velen/No Man's Land is beautiful, especially when you get that deep blue sky with the rolling cloud cover and high winds, but wow is the loading time for this area brutal on PS4 (standard HDD). Like 60-75 seconds just sitting there every time you die, reload, or need to fast travel back into it.

I'll just say that I have never used a single potion at this point and that goes for the crossbow too.
Lovely, sud have kept my CD drive. :/

be prepared to hear your PS4 fans. Haven't heard them this loud since The Evil Within :/
Yes
Actually I might be a dirty liar, looks like running witcher3.exe in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\x64 opens it up with GOG

Game makes me more excited for cyberpunk. Soo gooood.
You need to learn, and fast, unless you play easy mode or something, then I guess just mash away

My crashes (PS4) have all been the just-restart-the-game type. (No need to close it, as the crash does that for me.
)...I just realized I think I have arrows in my inventory at the start of the game, but the tutorial didn't mention anything about crossbows. Only bombs. I should look into that.
It would have been kind of funny if I'd gone all the way through the game before realizing I could shoot arrows. *edit* Ah, the post above cleared that up. I'm not there yet.

I really hate the "dirty camera" effect when looking at the sun or in the rain. Just really doesn't fit in a fantasy game.
Ok nobody ever answered me when I asked earlier i nthe thread. Where is the screenshot folder located ? I don't see any in my game folder or my documents.

Ok, thank you. I probably have some in my inventory, but I've just been using food,water and meditation to heal. I'm playing on medium.
im using steam, so I just go to screenshots on the client and 'show on disk'
I have got about 14 hours or so on the PS4 version and I have not had any crashes or anything. Only a frame dip or two and a couple of stutters during a conversation. Beyond that, it is without question one of the best role playing games I have ever played and is probably going to easily end up being my favorite when it's all said and done. The reviews are not bullshitting you this time. The game is genuinely as good as the hype suggests.

Galaxy still says "release in less than one hour" right next to the big green play button, don't know what's up with that.
Weirdly, I can't find the exe anywhere in the install directory, so I've been forced to launch the game with Galaxy even though I downloaded it via the website.
Edit: Found it, pretty annoying that they buried it under two subdirectories.

Uhhh after using the xbox one hard reset method, I can actually play this game now. But when I get to the gamma section, no matter how bright I go the circle picture just stays dark. No image is barely visible.
I have a 720p 32" Samsung ( :'( ) and have never had a problem with calibration before, including MKX. Is this a bug?

You probably don't have the crossbow yet. You can't miss it when you get it.
I -think- I read someone saying that there's a bug where you have to be ingame sometimes before the gamma image will show up. Try loading your game and then going to options.

I'm doing a playthrough on PS4 right now, and its a pretty fantastic port.
Not flawless mind you. You will encounter some framerate issues and a few bugs, but the overall experience is more than solid. Graphics for an open world this size and complex are beautiful and for the most part the game runs fine. Just like I said, be aware on the technical side you will run into some issues but not by any means game breaking ones.
1 ot 2 patches and this thing should be near perfect

Gwent is pretty neat. Finally built a deck and played some games.
Won a new leader card with an awesome ability!
They need to make a Gwent companion app for mobile.

Hey GAF, I've been avoiding this thread because I didn't want anything spoiled but I have to ask - as someone who hasn't played the previous Witcher games, how much am I missing if I just start with the third one?
I played the first half hour of Wild Hunt and it's been awesome. Previously I tried Witcher 2, and I kinda hated it. Storywise, am I missing a lot? (ie, the import save, etc) Or am I mostly OK going in without knowing any of the background of the characters, et al?

During summer or when it's hot my ps4 will sound like a jet engine. Sometimes I'm too afraid to play it.

What's up with this bug. When I'm in combat, Geralt keeps switching Silver and Steel sword

I had this issue with my 970 as well.
I used Driver Cleaner to completely uninstall my drivers.
Next I reinstalled the latest drivers.
Finally I make sure to turn off my overclock and close out PrecisionX completely.

I've been getting slaughtered all the same (minus a quest or two) and managed to find a cave full of overpowered equipment for crafting (level 27 armor meanwhile I'm level 3 :/). Also did a Witcher contract a few levels above me but I'm playing normal. I'm going to get back on the main path based on your post so that I can actually get some play time in against balanced enemies....and hopefully reduce dying load times. Thanks for the tip
Well, I'm on Death's March so imagine my struggle.
Also, I found a contract that was level 36, I entered a cave area just exploring, had some level 5 enemies. Then the contract updated, so I thought naw this can't be level 36. I did the whole quest chain and it lead to a crazy ass boss. He 1 shotted me, didn't even have a level, just a health bar like a boss would have, like the gryphon.
More than good enough...

In terms of the core plot, you should be ok. Granted, being familiar with the story and characters makes this even more enjoyable but I think the game is far and away high enough quality that its an experience that shouldn't be missed. Jump in with Witcher 3!
If you are really concerned with being lost, watch the story recaps in the OP

playing since yesterday. No issues just finished the first area. I am running v 1.01 and 0 issues. No frame rate drops or nothing. Apparently there is a v 1.02 but not available for US yet. It is supposed to fix the framerate even more.
I'd say re-launch your game ? Or you are using the wrong blade so it switch automatically but if it keeps switching back and forth on the same monster, you've got yourself a bug.

So what's with the quen timer? It's a 30 min timer, but the shield definitely doesn't persist for that long a time period.

Tried that, and still it keeps switching to Steel when I want silver to kill monsters

Are you certain it fixes the frame rate some more, I think the post notes said 'support for DLC".

One of the main reasons why I'm enjoying this game is because of how much I loved the storyline in TW2. Never played the first one, but IMHO, the characters, kingdoms, and events in Witcher 2 are pretty important. At the very least, watch some recaps and read up on some of the lore.
did you use a place of power? it gives a boost to the specified sign for x amount of time

you are right 1.02 is only DLC.
