I don't think 360 version had tiny text. But maybe it did. It shouldn't be an issue.If capcom can do it for dead rising then cdpr can do it lol
PEOPLE! THE MUTANT IS PURSUING MEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The added steps not only break the flow of combat, they make it cumbersome and have you wasting time. I don't even get it. I don't get it at all.

Should I play good game before good game GAF?
Do you need to play witcher 3 now? If not play witcher 2. It's as simple as that
Because they're equals?

Stayed up till 3 am playing last night on PS4(ugh..) and had no real tech issues beyond some design quirks with controls. No crashes and very little noticeable frame-dropping. Fully expect some of the crashes and drops to occur eventually given the amount of whining, but none yet for me.
They really do need to tighten up the looting though. Any interact-able object often feels like a fight to get Geralt to stand in the perfect spot, usually requiring a complete standstill since any momentum animation won't register the action. Often the camera bugs out too usually flipping instantly to look directly up at the sky after trying to grab something. Also Geralt sometimes will just start slow-walking in the direction of the object overshooting it and will keep just walking forward even if I put the controller down. Happens all the damn time which is a real bugger of a weird glitch. Jumping is pretty spotty too as climbing/scrambling up basic walls can feel like the most janky thing in videogaming.
Witcher 2 also had its own brand of similar problems but confined to a more rigid and claustrophic set of environs which was greatly more irritating, particularly since his movement had no momentum kicking into max gear at the slightest movement. Thankfully with more real estate in W3 its far less problematic, but still has its own quirks. Combat finally feels somewhat fluid, which is a monumental improvement from the prior games.

Can't skip entirely but pressing square skips conversations and makes it a bit more bearable.

PLOUGH THE LILLIES
I got the impression that Geralt is the submissive one in the relationship. So no, I don't sense that they are equals. That's just my opinion though.

Aside from a bit of stutter during the opening cutscene, I haven't really encountered any issues with fps either, but I'm still in the opening area, so maybe that changes.
My first impressions of her are that there is more going on with her than wanting to find Ciri. There is a mystery there that I am curious to discover.
Thats why I used the term "bossy". She's gave off a bossy tone to me, not a strong tone.
Agreed. And if you're using mkb on pc and have the mouse on the item window(i think you have to move the mouse to lose focus on the item), but not the item itself you wont have it selected, so a lot of the time I'm mashing e to pick it up but it wont pick it up unless I move the mouse over it.
Only problem I've had so far is the opening cinematic was stuttering -- everything else seemed fine. Weird.
I really like the game so far, but I think it's going to take a little bit of time to grow on me. The movement is janky as fuck. Other than that, I feel like it's a game that I'm only going to like the more that I play it.

Agreed.
I don't trust her at this point.

It is pretty incredible. I brought the ost with me and listened to it in my car on the way to work.

Most complaints are people playing the title for hours like myself that have gripes with the game that are bothersome but won't prevent me from playing a fantastic game.
Yes I get the occassional frame drop scene. Yes the text size is meant for people with 20/20 vision. Doesn't mean the game all of a sudden stops being amazing as a whole
Uhm, are you reading a different thread?

It's much better now, but it was relatively negative last night.
Yes, you should.
For starters, it makes sense storywise.
But also, why waste money on The Witcher 3 if you already have a perfectly good game to play - The Witcher 2? By the time you finish The Witcher 2 the price for The Witcher 3 might go down and the game will receive at least one patch.

His slide mechanic kicks in at some odd times. I had it on a staircase once. Made me laugh.
Quirks like that I really don't mind.
Also died in the first 3-4 secs of game play. Walked out to the balcony and said "Hey, I should try jumping here".
Didn't end well.

Makes sense. Only the people who weren't immediately enthralled would be posting about it the night of launch, instead of playing.
They are and surprisingly morally conflicting as well. With the one regarding the arson:
I thought I was doing the right thing by having him apologize but nope, death to the arson.
Only if you want more background on the current events, setting, political movements, characters, etc... but its been entirely unnecessary as W3 is sort of its own thing despite directly continuing the events of W2(which did the same for W1). It can be real damn confusing getting accustomed to who these kingdoms are and what this war is about in the early hours(W2's plot is central to the political conflict in W3), but Yennefer and Ciri are barely mentioned and never actually show-up in either previous games(and are a huge component of the W3 story). You are aware of them in W1/2 through occasional conversation, but playing the prior games is wholly unnecessary for background on that stuff.
If you really dig the social/political-side of this world, then W2 will certainly give you PLENTY of background and appreciation for the current events of W3. Just know that the events of W2 directly explain why Nilfgaard(southern kingdom) invades Temeria(North) which you see the result of the moment of you start W3.

That's a good point that I didn't even think about. I was getting a little nervous last night, but I'm hoping it was all for nothing.

I use to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
i don't remember if that's the actual quote or not. But still.
Yeah, it gets much better. Some of them are actually really emotional.

Anyone know where to get some bear fat early on? Need to make some specter oil. Found the flowers I need just need bear fat. Haven't ran into any bears and all the vendors I know of aren't selling any.
You don't get to the Cloud District often,do you?
My Geralt is the fattest Witcher in the world cause he has to chug food like crazy to heal his injuries.
It's a bit silly,honestly
