The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

[Meteor_of_War]

Simplest? I think that goes to Witcher 1, that whole game can be played with a 1 button mouse and no need for the keyboard.

Simplest to get into, in regards to someone who is a self-proclaimed "RPG noob."

[ThirdEye]

Any details on NG+? Do we keep our gear from the previous save?

[Dungeoncrawler]

when are they planning on the next patch to fix this pos game?

[Brainstew]

I'm really enticed to buy this game altough my only RPG"s i played were oblivion, skyrim, and fall out


Is this hard to get into if you're an RPG noob ?

All the games you mentioned give you a blank slate character whereas in Witcher 3 you're a character with an incredibly well established history. You can't go around slaying innocent people or any crap like that, just like you wouldn't expect a Batman game to let you be a mass murderer.

The key things this game offers that Besthesda games don't:

• Excellent narrative.
• A massive and highly memorable cast of characters.
• Decisions that matter.

So if those things interest you then get the game, if you only like open world rpgs for absolute freedom then you might not like it.

The final thing I'll add is that the map absolutely blows any Besthesda game's map away imo.

this

they need to fix the last patch

mobs I have killed are back just standing around, but I can't hit them

[Higgy10]

[Lazy8s]

they need to fix the last patch

Yep. I just fired it up on my new toy. It looks phenomenal, but I can't fight lol. Controls only work part time now., and the movement is still horrible.

Well, I beat the game once already, so it's time to uninstall and move on. No more buggy messes for a while, no matter how pretty they are.

Ok.. I am getting very annoyed at AMD right now... What the heck is wrong with AMD's drivers?

Every other DX11 game I got runs. I even did a complete removal using Driver Cleaner(G3D)... re-installed the most recent driver package... It will work as long as I don't reboot after that. Once I reboot- It says I need DX11 compatible hardware.

It happens on all of my AMD hardware. Even installed the game on my HP laptop with the Kaveri APU. Won't run says it needs DX11. Re-install the drivers.. works till it reboots. So its gotta be AMD drivers problems. Running Windows 8.1 on the laptop, Windows 7 on the rig. (see specs)



Thats the error message...

[lukilla]

Maybe changing the gpu id via radeonpro to something supported by the game?.

HD5770 is a DX11 GPU. Juniper is listed as supported. Like I said, I re-install drivers.. and it works till I reboot. Its gotta be in the same area that GPU-Z uses to determine compatibility for OpenCL etc..

Wish there was a force run option. :-(

[Dungeoncrawler]

i know most of you have already finished, but i haven't. that being said, i'm still running across landmarks that look amazing

Even the second time through everything looks amazing!

Lots of games do card ID checks (not a chip check), maybe after rebooting your registry gets updated and then the game can read that your card isn´t "supported".

Goddammit why can't they let me pause cutscenes?

I just missed some really critical **** because my 2 year old is exclaiming "I PEEPEED DADDY" over and over again. The game doesn't even let me reload to a checkpoint during the scene so when I get back, I have a dialog choice that I have no idea what context it's in.

No problem, just make a choice, get back to the game, and reload, right?

Wrong. What ensues is an endless bashing of space bar and endless series of dialog choices that get me to a point where the farthest back Checkpoint save is about mid-way through the whole thing.

So now I have to reload, replay probably about 10 minutes of gameplay because these ****ers took it upon themselves to keep me from pausing during the cutscene for some unknown reason.

Is this your first child? Mine is 6 years old, and over the years I cannot think of a game that I played that allowed pausing cut scenes, and I know I had to replay many times because of my son. Welcome to fatherhood

[BababooeyHTJ]

Yeah, cutscenes need a pause option for sure

[MNB4800]

I have a long long way to go. 80 hours in and still exploring Novigrad. I am checking every nook and cranny in it! Loot everything!

[SD-[Inc]]

Yeah, cutscenes need a pause option for sure

Did anyone try Alt+Tab?

[KAC]

Press the windows key. Works in many games. Not sure about Witcher 3 though.

[Arioch]

Waiting for my Samsung 48" 4K to arrive before playing any more of this. The game looks amazing with 4K DSR so I can't wait to play it at that full resolution.

[KAC]

Which one you got?

[Arioch]

Which one you got?

UN48JS8500 for $1497.99 total. It's not a curved screen but I can live with that. I still have my VG278H also but look forward to true 4K gaming.

[KAC]

That's a tight screen. Which connection will you use? Hdmi or something else?

[Crawdaddy79]

Did anyone try Alt+Tab?

Sometimes the game doesn't come back when I do that.

Press the windows key. Works in many games. Not sure about Witcher 3 though.

I will try that next.

I know for sure Alt-F4 doesn't work... Need to CTRLALTDEL to kill the game during a cutscene... It's a practice I've avoided because if you did that with some games, they would start in "Safe Mode" the next time you started it up, with all your settings undone. Thankfully this game doesn't do that.

[Arioch]

HDMI - luckily my 980 GTX cards will output 3840x2160@60Hz.

[KAC]

Thought so. Let me know how it goes and how far you sit from it

[Brainstew]

Lmao, I just found a book called Gottfried's Omni-opening Grimoire... CDPR are cheeky bastards.

That is just awesome!

[Crawdaddy79]

I guess you guys don't look at the screenshot thread often.

Here's a clearer version without the 9GAG watermark.



FYI I'm not using a gamepad. Pressing Scroll Lock somehow makes the game think I am and it changes all the control hints.

[theshadowcult]

Yeah, there is quite a few cool easter eggs int he game like that

[SD-[Inc]]

I just played that quest yesterday

The cow part was awesome too.

[Exposed]

- It's Friday night
- No work tomorrow
- Wife and daughter in bed by 11pm

That means a (mostly) all night Witcher 3 marathon on the home theater system with some sleep to spare in the morning.

Am I old?

[Crawdaddy79]

No.

That would be where I am right now, except I can't stay up past 11 no matter how hard I try.

[KAC]

I am pretty sure quests are never ending in this game. I just feel like I am making progress but not making progress. I have so many quests, it is overwhelming. I frickin' love this game. Time flies like no other game I have played. Damn.

[Crawdaddy79]

105 hours in, and I am still finding "!" quests in Novigrad that I must have missed because I didn't take the time to listen through a background conversation.

Nevermind Skellige...

There is bunches of them in velen/novigrad, but i didnt find a single one in skellige
There are quests that dont become active until after doing witcher contracts and even deeper still, i'm pretty sure i found one quest that not only didnt become active until after a contract, but i also had to listen to a npc conversation as well!

[Dungeoncrawler]

is there full horse armor for roach?

[Darkz0r]

Can't wait for NG+ now with the 980 ti. Runs everything ultra @ 1440p and vsync with hairworks.

Replaying everything without rushing and skipping dialogues, without subtitles...should take 2 months lol!

[Burnin' Luv]

If you play without subtitles, I recommend trying to remember to turn them on before talking to any trolls and then turn them off afterward...I couldn't understand a word any of them said.

Why were you rushing?
