Yes! And for bosses I'm not even sure if you CAN lock on. There's no indication on the nameplate so I wasn't sure if the camera was auto rotating for me or if I was actually locked on. Really annoying.

Fuuuuck, in the beginning of the game it asks you if you want to simulate TW2 saves, and I said no thinking it would simulate all of the choices for me if I'd answer otherwise. Ends up it's actually the opposite!! And now I've doneso much sidequests, potion recipes and crafting recipes that I don't want to start up a new game. The question at the beginning could have been handled much, much better I feel.

I've noticed there is a learning and adjustment curve to many aspects of this game (movement, combat, magics, etc) but once you get the hang of it everything starts to play out great. I'm enjoying the game much more after a few hours of trial and error and figuring things out.

Get to the Inn and the guy somehow warps off the invisible horse through the fence to right in front of me. Also, the cut scene before your map is updated to go to the Inn, there was pausing as it was playing. Playing on PS4.
Other than that, not bad thus far. My first Witcher game and once I get better at it, I should enjoy it more.

Second option it is! Now that my Geralt is clean and shaven i'm gonna go and hunt some monsters!

Wait what? So if I want to make my choices through dialogue, hit "no" for simulate choices?

I said no too. What am I missing out on exactly?
I may have oversold the 670 a little with a quick browse of the thread, but even if you have to hit medium to score stable 30 the performance increase would (imo) still be worth it.
Definitely ask for feedback there before you make up your mind.
Your processor and ram are more than enough. You can overclock your CPU easily of you want to, I have the same running at 4.3ghz with no issues so far.
Edit: I asked for you here. Keep an eye on it!

My first impression after 6 hours is that the world is absolutely beautiful.
But that is all i have to say sadly.
The combat system is absolutely terrible and clunky.
Controls are terrible.
Story so far is... meh... The sidequests are boring. I dont know maybe my expectations were too high and maybe this game will get better later. I will continue.

Perfect. Thank you.
I assume you aren't overclocking...what gpu card and what did you set texture quality to? Not sure if that's it as seems a bit strong. No stuttering or anything, just a straight crash? Do you notice framerate dropping a tad? Might be pushing your card too much... (effort but might be worth having a look at it to see if there is dust build up if you can't check temps during framedrops).

Nice
Why are these little touchpad shortcuts not on the controls screen?
The two most important shortcuts, you don't use the rest of what in the menu that much.
No overclocking. 970 and Ultra.
Read on reddit that setting it to borderless might work better than fullscreen. Might try that

Are you sure that has to do with game choices from W2? I read that as just the way the game does saves, nothing to do with previous W2 saves. I picked yes and it creates a new save file for each save, much like it did for me in W2.
At higher difficulty levels, it was a very satisfying tactical rpg- different genre altogether. The problem is that it was marketed as an action game.

I'm in the UK and bought the game digitally from the American PSN, the beard and hair dlc is out in the UK but doesn't seem to want to install. Do I have to wait for the DLC to go up on the American store and download from there to get it to work?
If it doesn't help, try turning down foliage to high and hairworks off and see if you still get the crashes...
Btw you're not playing on 4k right? Hopefully higher than 1080p though if it's performance related crashes.

GOod point, I wish it had dark souls style targetting in terms of distance. Otherwise, I actually really like the combat
Wrong, hit "yes" to simulate choices, and you get a scene where you make them through dialogue. He was complaining the opposite happened when you hit "no", which is nothing happens and the game goes to defaults.
That is laughable that they didn't explain that better in game.

I just checked the PS store and there were no DLC at all. Only themes and the expansion pass. Are they not released yet ? I thought four had already been released.

Thanks man. Saved me some heartache.
Hairworks already off. Couldn't stand the self-illumination-yellow look on geralts hair when his beard is gray/white and renderer with a totally different kind of shader
But ok, will try to turn down foliage.
And on another note... I'm not really impressed with the game so far :/ The graphics are so-so, but I was prepared, but the movement/animations (especially outside of combat) is just... way jankier than what I'm used to. Shadows of Mordor or AC games are just so much more smooth and natural. Why isn't the movement/run speed analog? Feels so unfresh. Well well, the setting is nice and the story seems OK so far.

A couple of hours in and this is what I kind of think so far.
+I really like the combat, the magic all has purpose and dismemberment is dope. Preparing for fights is awesome
+Game is amazingly pretty(PS4).
+The writing is soooooo good and geralt is as great as ever.
+Monster desgin and exploration is great.
-General bugs and the menus are a bit much
-control issues and a very weird stutter on PS4 when trotting with the horsey.
I cant wait to see novigrand(think im spelling it right)

Ah latin spanish version then.
Hoping the castillian spanish one does it though, like the translated books, although they didnt do it in the first two games so...
So i've got this today:
The box is really damn big, the statuette is enormous. Every employee of CDP made a signature inside the box, it's really damn special.
bonus picture of the styrofoam
Now all I can do is read the artboook, because the game won't run on my PC
How is Geralts face in your statue? Many people are getting burned face geralt painted like shit.
No problem.
I've got an MSI 970. Highly recommend it if you're considering an upgrade any time soon. Got mine just a few hours ago and the jump from my old 670 is huge.
I'll test it on GTAV and a few other games later, but TW3's performance with this card and processor has really impressed me. This CPU has legs.

Any idea what the default choices are if you select "no"? Has this been answered anywhere?

Lol I feel like your post could hae been worded much better. What do you mean?
Also, what does the game do if you load a partially completed tw2 save? Do you get to pick your choices for decisions you didn't reach?
Baldwin_the_First

Yes.
You won't be able to choose which of the choices you've chosen in past games to simulate your TW2 game. Thinking about it now, not sure why I struggled with the question. "Simulate" does make sense, I should have played the beginning in french juste to make sure.
Yeah I'm sure, the guy that asks you those questions skipped over all of them in my game.
