I'm playing on a 40 inch TV and the text is still too small, especially for inventory items. I feel bad for people on smaller tvs. My only gripe so far.

Curious to read more Xbox One version impressions. Post em' if you got em'
Looks great. Only have some issues with the framerate and an eternal loading bug where I have to reboot my console to fix.

I'm pretty sure the sign boost regenerates. I could have sworn that I used one, went into a little mini dungeon and when I came out I was able to use it again.
On another note, are people dodging or rolling more? I started out rolling all the time, but I've found that dodging seems to be better most of the time in combat. I'm pretty much only rolling when I'm about to die and I'm trying to get away.

Played about an hour of the PS4 version.
- Don't play Gwent until they patch it.
- Game looks pretty nice though the colors during the day look weird.
- obvious framerate issues
- combat feels more fluid compared to TW2
- Camera feels weird. Hard to explain but it feels floaty as well as Geralt when you stop and pick things up.
- Load times aren't that bad
- Picking things up feels harder than it should be due to the camera.

This game at 1440p is amazing. Downsampling does a lot in getting rid of the aliasing and increasing image quality. That and I'm running the game at all ultra settings with the exception of foliage which I set to high and I'm getting a solid 30 fps. I have gameworks off since I don't really like the hair and I have HBAO+ enabled.
This game looks AMAZING on PC.

When you equip it, it should be already ignited.
Make sure its in one of the pockets in inventory menu. Press L1, select from the wheel, press R1 to equip in the game. Once you do that, It should be lit up when geralt pulls it out from youknowwhere.
On the topic of Gwent. It crashed 3 times on me in White Orchard (when passing my turn by pressing and holding Triangle). Once again in other place. But now, a bit further into the game, I am glad its working just fine. Maybe the Gwent is buggy just in the starting areas.

So far the overall atmosphere, story, characters, and quest design seems very reminiscent of TW1 to me. Which makes me happy.
Precious Cargo quest question.....
Early game quest, so even if the game glitched me out of a reward it doesn't really matter. But damnit :-/
So I chose to keep the medicine and let the guy go, assuming it would get me something.... But I didn't get any items from it? That doesn't seem right. You know, assuming I withheld what the guy was after.

I've been at it 4 hours straight
Where do I go to heal though? I'm on the hardest difficulty and you don't get anything back meditating.

You eat/drink food,water etc. Or you drink Swallow potions. Meditate don't give back health on Death March
So yeah, managed to play a couple of hours before interviews, work etc
Aside from the clunky movement stuff, it honestly seems amazing. Fuck, I'm even enjoying the combat to some degree so I'm probably gonna stick with the normal difficulty for now, just gotta learn how to effectively close in on the enemies. Using a light attack sometimes ends with me hitting the air, delay on rolling to light attack is too long. The game is most certainly not easy on normal, either.
Hopefully I'll be home by 2 or 3pm, I just wanna play Witcher 3 all day!

for the life of me I can't understand why dev's make underwater movement the most frustrating thing in gaming. I try to dive, he dives a little, then won't stop doing somersaults. I go too far down, and theres an object? guess what, you cant swim up around it. we're going to turn you around, every single time you try. oh, and there's enemies here. Fuck you.

What? The option in the beginning of the game asks if you want to simulate a Witcher 2 save Meaning if you chose ON to simulate the game grants you a sequence where Geralt is shaved by a dude and answers questions about decisions made in the prior game. If you choose off there is no simulated witcher 2 save and instead a default is set for players who haven't played the previous game. As far as I know this simulate option has absolutely nothing to do with allowing or disallowing you to make other story changing decisions in the Witcher 3 game. Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm beginning to get confused regarding this simulate off on business.
In the first village section after you get on a horse, I had a weird thing (bug?) happen:
Do wild animals spawn in buildings normally?
A wolf spawned inside a house with a little girl. I couldn't ever open the door with E, but the wolf was clipping through the door and hurting me. I finally ran away and somehow the door eventually opened, and the wolf came out. After finishing the fight, I was able to walk through the door to open it, but not press E on it.

first encounter with a bear was pretty disappointing...it got stuck on a tree and couldnt move lol
That's probably what he meant. Just worded it oddly.
That's uh, what I said? I'm not sure why you read it as not allowing you to make choices in the Witcher 3 story. I was posting it in response to people asking the question over and over for the past few pages so I didn't quote anyone, so I guess I can see why you read it as being about Witcher 3.
To clarify, Simulate = at a certain story point you get to make choices regarding the Witcher 2 story.
Putting it to Off just puts it to default choices for that game.
Damn, talk about breaking street date

Quoting for new page.
Killing ennemies don't seem to give any xp. I played like 3-4 hours before I reached level 2.

I must have missed the tutorial prompt - how do I dismantle items?
Nothing. Nothing in my inventory that could even be mistaken for what I should have got, and no one at that place that's willing to take it (that I don't have) from me.
Dangit.
I want my meager amount of cash and exp.
Crafstmen can do it, just back out of their initial crafting recipes.
