I only realised now that the eyes in the last image of the OT is the GAF logo, lol.
Nice OT OP, best I've seen this year so far.

I also want to know.
People make sure to upgrade drivers if you are on PC! Nvidia put out theirs earlier today;

Can't remember the last time I've been hyped for a game this much.
Thanks for the OT, great work!

Has anyone ordered this from Playasia? wondering when they will plan to ship out hte product
What region version are you ordering? If you're ordering a North American copy you won't see it for another week. They only get their region 1 stock 2-3 days later and it takes them forever to ship stuff out.
The postal service in Hong Kong is fucking awful.

After maybe 10 hours I cleared the first area of the game (the tutorial?).
I'm happy with the game but not super happy yet, especially because there's too many question marks on the map that destroy almost completely the sense of esploration.

Just beat it on Death March.
Any items that will nullify bleed? It's not particularly hard outside of that!
Turn them off.

The first thing I did. But you can only disable the "magic trail" and not the destination and not all these question marks (interesting points).
Edit: Some question marks position is reaveled trough lore (reading books, talking with NPC) and i'm ok with this, but I have the impression others were there from the beginning... hope the game became a little bit more bastard in this regard

Not sure, I'm sure there are in Alchemy, but I was just very patient with it. Just like the griffin, always have Quen on just in case...when it attacks you, just dodge normally. When it tries to jump on you, roll out of the way instead of dodging. Anytime it's in the air and coming to you, shoot a cross bow at it to knock it down for a good 2-3 strong hits (this is a gamble though). Took me about 3 minutes but was a good fun fight.

Well maybe I can get this when my vision is back to 20/20. That sucks.
Just managed to beat it, cheers though!
Keep my guard up and as long as I did, it's bleed effect didn't kick in. As soon as it swung and missed I used Aard to stun it and got a couple of hits in. Just had to be patient!

Nothing for me, still on 1.01. Though there was DriveClub patch
Maybe its just downloading the same one again. When I see update history on W3 icon, it does mention that 1.01 is already installed.
You can toggle them on and off on the map, but I don´t know if it also removes them from the minimap.

Nice! I love how the game lets you play in different styles. Makes the combat much more diverse and enjoyable.

But this is just a filter...

So the website were I purchased W3 sent me the code... But for GOG.
It said on the page it was Steam. But they have removed the page and their support says you can't refund downloadable products. So basically I got nothing. I really don't want to download another application, and make another account on top of everything I already have. Goddammit.

Wait, if you turnoff both Undiscovered POI in hud options and filter them on the map they still show up? Thats weird.
Sounds like you probably bought it from a grey market site. Nobody has had Steam keys for W3, it's just Steam itself.
GOG is DRM free so you can just download the game without needing the client if you want, though that won't make patching it very easy.

I've just discovered the existence of the GMGgate, what are the final words on this ? I've ordered my keys there should i cancel ?
Probably smaller stuff like the tattoo

I've used the website for years. I think someone just made a mistake when they put it up. It just annoys me because I wouldn't have bought a non-Steam version.
The email they sent says I need to download something called GOG Galaxy?

Is there yet any consensus regarding how the various difficulty settings compare? I know I'll be playing on at least hard (which I know isn't called that), as I'm sure normal would feel too unchallenging based on what I've heard, but I'm wondering if perhaps I should even go with very hard? How much more difficult is it, and in what way? Are there other differences beyond just combat difficulty? You lose the same "handholdy" stuff on both, right? I've beaten both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls (and soon Bloodborne), so I'm not afraid of challenging combat, but at the same time I don't think I would want quite that level of constantly getting my ass kicked in a story-focused RPG like this. But I'm guessing even very hard in TW3 is quite a bit below Souls difficulty, right...?

I'm going to bed and when I wake I will be able to play this at last. The wait has been excrutiating but I am no less excited than I was a month ago and I've been counting the days. It's hard to believe it's almost finally here!
I'm starting on the hardest setting and if I find it overly difficult then I'll reduce it mid way. Best way to figure out a difficulty IMO.

I dont have the link but someone in the previous thread linked to a bunch of saves on Nexus.

Yeah, that's probably the way to go.
Some people in chats during streams tough that W3 was harder than those games
But everyone is different, so that might not be the same for ya.
Anyway, you can alwyas change the dificulty if it's too hard or easy whenever you like I read.
