I would think it would described as the opposite of that. If you're on an ice rink it takes you a long time to get going, and a long time to stop. Geralt is 0-100 real quick, real fucking quick.

Yeah I think I'm done with anyone who uses the word "janky" from now own. FFS, game is amazing.
Yeah I just finished GTAV this past weekend so the movement feels completely normal to me.

I'm deep into Velen.
I just did the
contract and called it a night.
Some game this. So dense, so much to do. I just sunk in a 4 hour session and feel like I've barely done anything.
I also did all the horse racing and it's upgraded my horse quite a bit, including storage space, which is nice.

It's not the momentum, for me it's too analog for these small little sticks.
What do they do for PC players with a keyboard?

Jenny O The Woods is a pain in the ass goddamn. Granted the recommended level is 10 and I'm still 7, but still. One of her swipes does so much damage. Then she summons her wraiths that suck life out of me and replenish her health too... Ugh. I'm gonna get her.
What do you mean? I've played exclusively with kbm so I don't know the controller issues.
Help... :\
Kotaku said you can just leave your items in any random place and it won't disappear & should still be there throughout the whole game. Haven't tried it yet though.
Geralt moves at different speeds, depending on how far you move the stick from the centre, but the deadzone's too big, and it's hard to control how fast he walks, I often walk past where I wanted, by mistake.
Doesn't help the game is very finicky about your position when interacting with things.
Ah. on kbm you have a toggle for running and walking which works really well.

Finally gave up on the hardest difficulty. Some parts just weren't fun. I still like a challenge, so just moved it down one notch.

I actually killed some wolves in the beginning and came back much later and their flesh was still lying there. At least I assume that's their's. In any case an experiment with something of little worth is worth for sure.

Precisely why I am doing side quests to level up before I even attempt those higher quests. Not worth the headache for me.
That shit scares me though. I'd like to plop all my smithing mats down next to a blacksmith/armorer, but who knows if a patch comes a long and fucks it up, and then it's all gone.
Luckily I haven't been overencumbered yet in about 12 hours (make sure to buy saddlebags), where as I was double my weight coming out of the prolouge in the Witcher 2.

They were at launch
Hmm. I thought about moving up as I found Blood&Bones moderately easy. Guess not.
In alchemy.

If you don't have bombs you *may* be able to use Igni to do that.

Death March isn't so bad ten hours in. Just have to use
Quen. If you haven't bought the ability that lets you use adrenaline to cast spells do so, completely changes how you play on the higher difficulties as you can be offensive while protecting yourself.

Yeah, I thought the tree spirit would help me kill the crones since they were trying to kill her, you know fight evil with evil, that didn't work out so well. 
It was there at launch on PC, maybe just put up for consoles?
Yeah about 2 hours after release it was up on gog galaxy.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I went one step further and killed the mini-map. And I'm not likely going back. If you're on a mission and the game needs you to focus on a certain "search/defend" area or something, it'll show on the big map I've been told. As long as that works, mini-map off is pretty awesome.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Hmm, might try

So how do I access those free DLCs?
The game isn't running at all?Man I am so bummed out that the game isn't working for me on PS4 no matter what method I try.
Guess it's time to wait for the patch.

Yeah, this is my one complaint with the game. I wish the icons only got filled in if you get an in-game hint (something on a notice board, over hear a conversation, read a letter, etc). Having all of them pop up as soon as you read the area's notice board just feelsl ike I synchronised a viewpoint in AC or something.

You could always give it a try. Most parts of the world were fine, but most of the bigger encounters and boss fights were just really frustrating.
Just wanted to say thanks for the tips. I'm struggling in normal at times (anything that triples my level always kills me And maybe rightfully so).
Had my on xbone from the start. Had to dig for it tho

Swimming is fine, they just do a poor job of explaining it in game.
To swim Xbox Controls(X is dive and B is surface) What I think the devs mean for you to do is to swim by just holding the left stick forward and then use the right stick to "aim" yourself. If you hold either X or B in conjuction with aiming yourself, you'll dive or surface respectively. It actually works rather well, but they just don't tell you shit about it really. I'd say those that have completely sworn of swimming should reconsider. Just remember your using the camera to dictate which direction you swim, above and below water. Trying to only use the left thumbstick results in you doing dolphin spins.
I got them Tuesday on PS4.
I say go for it. There's a ton to do in the game, the story is incredible so far, and it's a lot of fun. The controls are admittedly bad, but you can turn down the sensitivity to lessen that a bit. The underlying combat is similar to bloodborne, but the learning curve for the loose controls will take some getting used to.

GOT HER. Took a lot of patience but goddamn. So satisfying taking her down.

So many bugs in this game. The most recent is where a needed item doesn't drop, no matter what.
Had an issue with an earlier quest too, where I already looted an item prior to reading a note that tells me to loot that item, so it never finished, and is stuck in my journal forever.
In the Velen Bandit camp, I killed all of them and the key I needed dropped. But instead of letting the vendor out of the cage right away I went around looting everything. The game hard froze my PC, so I ended up having to redo that fight TEN times, and the key never dropped again. So I'll never be able to release the guy from the cage thanks to this shit.
