Definitely worth going for any of the Witcher gear once you get close to the required level. Griffin set is great.

I think I'm addicted to gwent, is there anywhere I can buy official cards?
The physical edition for Hearts of Stone has two decks of Gwent (Monsters and Scoia'tel, specifically)

It's had 18GB of patches.
Seriously.
I'm at about 40 hours so far and the game is running fine. I've noticed slight visual glitches once or twice. I wouldn't be happy if there were any big problems because, again,
18 bloomin' GB of patch!
Started the first one today. Oh my what a difference. That combat system really is something else. 
I have to say though, the game itself looks pretty damn good for a game from 2007-2008. Everything maxed out on 4k and it's more than acceptable.
And oh, I'll definitely have to adjust to Geralt's face.

Great game!

The framerate can get pretty bad on the ps4 version.

The framerate was fixed for the most part, check out digital foundry footage.

CDPR are holding a charity auction for one of their promotional statues. Was used as the backdrop for many of their press interviews, apparently. Pretty neat. At least the face detailing is slightly better than the collector's edition figurine ´ڡ`

Same here. :/ Got the last Superior bomb recipe I was missing and one Superior oil from Hearts of Stone, but I'm still missing 2 Superior oils, I think; probably won't be able to get 'em until Blood & Wine.
Kinda weird that they made them random like that.

Put two hours into the game and it's biuruful. I've just literally just did ?'s on maps and contracts in the first area. I'm pretty sure I did stuff way over my level considering I was level 1 doing level 2+ quests and what not.
Does crafting go up as you level or do you have to craft **** to level your crafting? Also, when you loot diagrams for crafting and alchemy are the automatically learned?
Oh BTW I love having mods!

I have a bigger issue with there not being enough unique ingredients in the game to craft all of them and absolutely no warning that you might have to choose at some point.
Ok so I'm playing on PS4 only really played 2 or 3 hours and I'm getting a very frustrating stuttering issue. Seems to develop after about 20-30 minutes of play, just out of the blue and won't go away until I restart the game.
Is this a known issue, cos it better get fixed soon?

Haven't experienced anything like that...have you downloaded all the patches?
Yep completely up to date. I'm only at the beginning of the game and the last two times I've played I got about 20-30 minutes of gaming time in, game working smoothly, and all of a sudden a persistent stutter. Pan the camera slowly around and you can see it, maybe like twice a second, constantly. I can't play it like this and restarting every half hour isn;t my idea of fun either :\

I'll suggest this again, even though I don't have a PS4.
Rebuild database.
This seems to be a wonder fix for a lot of problems on PS4.

Finally completed the game a few days ago. Passed my expectations completely, and is honestly probably the best RPG I've played (although I haven't played many 'classics', which I plan on fixing soon).
I just started playing Hearts of Stone, and love it so far, especially everything involving O'Dimm. CDPR, plz keep releasing expansions of the same quality until The Witcher 4. Thx.

There's a barber in Oxenfurt, in Skellige and a couple in Novigrad. Just look for the scissors icon on the map.
Ah thanks. I was wondering if I wasn't far along enough for the barber, still in Velen.
I want to play the Velen Gwent questline, but I haven't played against the Baron. I heard that you can find the unique card in his rooms, but when I activate the quest in my log there's only a waypoint to the square in front of his house.

So for the Djistra quest where

So I made an error that i didn't realize. I completed the Bloody Baron stuff without first playing him at Gwent because I figured I'd just mop up everything later on.
While scrolling through my quest log I see that there is now a red X through the "Play Baron and acquire a special card."

Is it too late for me to round up all the Gwent cards?

I have yet to
go to Skeliege or get out of Novigrad yet. Right in the middle of the Whoreson Junior/Dandelion stuff.

But it didn't give me a new one, is it because I did it at too high of a lvl? Or do I need to go back and pick up a new one.
Keep going with the main story.

You can go back to his place and loot it from the room you two talked in a lot.
But be sure to play Gwent at the masquerade party of the Novigrad quest line when it comes up, cause I missed that one.

I've been playing the game on and off since I got it at launch, and tonight I've finally completed it. It has it's problems but I enjoyed the game nonetheless. The ending was awesome too.

Thanks. Now I just have to actually get good enough to win some games.
Put me in a 8 on 1 fight on Death March and I'll win no problem but a deck of cards in my hand and I fall the fuck apart. >_<

There's definitely not enough vampires in the game to craft everything requiring the remains of them.
That will probably change with Blood & Wine though.

If you just look at the game funny on any platform it messes up the playtime. So probably.

Play every innkeep and every merchant. Do the quests for the powerful cards.
Once you get Foltest the Siegemaster as a leader, use him. Use spy cards. Get a few decoy cards. Ditch all weather cards except clear weather and maybe one or two biting frost cards to deal with Monster decks. Your special slots are better spent on heroes, decoys, commander's horns and scorch cards.
Don't be afraid to lose a round every once in a while. It can be a tactical move, getting your opponent to waste cards while you build your deck with spies or just wait it out.
Been playing TW3 off and on since August because I don't want it to end, but I've made it one of my New Years resolutions to finish the damn game and start Hearts of Stone haha. Went and got the Superior Wolf & Griffin armor last night. I just hit level 31 and I'm finishing up the
quests, so I'm pretty close to the end. This game just blows my mind one way or another every time I play it.

I own Witcher 3 on XBox One, but haven't played it yet. I bought my XBox One from a private seller, and it came with it.
I may start playing soon, but I'm wondering if I should sell my XB1 copy and get it on PC instead. I have a good rig, and I imagine I would be able to run Witcher 3 at High, if not Ultra (I run Fallout 4 at High, but Ultra doesn't seem to give me any problems).
Does the PC version run noticeable better than the XB1 version?

Devil's Pit for that trophy, NPC's will stop at the gate so you can line up your shots.
