here.... runs like shit. Lots of popin. I manually put it at 60fps locked.
Textures are all over the place. great one second. complete shit the next. or at the same time.
Shadows and light are shit.
Benchmarks come out similar.

Plays yes. does it look great? no.

Is the combat still a rolling on the floor fest like Witcher 2 ? That really drove me off.

No. 95% of my dodges are the skip step ones. Very rarely do I roll. Combat is quite fluid so far.

Just started last night on PS4, i have 1 complaint, and I want to see if it's just me, or my tv or what... but the text on screen is annoyingly small and even seems hazy? I can't read half the crap on the screen :/

Same problem. I have to get up to read item descriptions. Pretty annoying

Anyone here playing this game on PC with Dual Shock 4 controller ? I'm looking for opinions.

I useDS4Windows; it's better than InputMapper and has no ads. I connect via Bluetooth except when the controller needs charging, and it works perfectly. Latency shows as about 2ms almost all the time.

In addition to the default controls, I have a TW3 profile set up for the touchpad that binds Igni to left press, Quen to right press, Aard to upper press, map to swipe up, and inventory to swipe down.

When I was fighting the Griffin I would dodge away from his attacks and it there would be a delay between when I performed the action and would get swiped by his wing.

Going to try Bond's fix and see if that fixes it. It's frustrating because it isn't fluid at all. Maybe it's different on mouse and keyboard for you?

I quickstep dodge 95% of the time too. I pretty much never step backwards though, that's just asking to get stunlocked and killed on Death March. I try to sidestep so that I end up able to backstab after the enemy's attack misses.

I'm going to test out that LeftStickSensitivity thing this morning too. (Edit: That setting doesn't appear to be used at all. Set it to 1.0 and noticed no difference, so I backed out and loaded the game twice more with it set to 10.0 and 0.1. Nothing changed with any of them.)

I've tried different setting on the tv, the receiver video setting, can't seem to get the text nice and clear :/

I think it is likely just masking the load times.

This. If the game is on a SSD the Dandelion recap gets cut off long before he finishes speaking.

Edit: I'm assuming the reason we get the "Last time on The Witcher!" animation every time we load is to discourage save scumming? Kind of annoying that it's unskippable.

I have noticed that the long load times happen when you reload from a prior save while load times between sections in the game are very fast, only lasting a few seconds. I am guessing anything that reloads the games state causes the long intro. And is that really dandeliions voice? WTF happened to it? I thought it was vessimir.

Just as heads up, I think I screwed up something that can be avoided:

I never made a "Dancing Star" bomb before I got the Enhanced version of the recipe. The enhanced version requires a Dancing Star bomb as an ingredient....the problem is, it seems that the enhanced version *replaces* the original base version in the Alchemy list. So now it seems I can't make (and don't have any of) the original Dancing Star bomb at all, and thus will never be able to make the Enhanced and Superior versions also.

Does anyone know any way around that?

If not, I recommend folks go out of their way to get the original versions of all the alchemy recipes even if they never intend to use them so the upgraded versions will still be available later.

That's what I used to use, then one day it updated itself to inputmapper. It worked, so I didn't care.

Downloaded dswindows now though, but how do you make the profile set up for in game actions? Whenever I touch the touchpad on the DS4, it registers as a mouse movement giving the message "control type changed, Keyboard and mouse".

I have found no less than three pop culture references so far, to include pulp fictions bring out the gimp dialogue.

Stopping for a break now. That golem... he hurts. Think I know how to beat him, just that the damage output doesn't really give room for mistakes. I find the quests better than Skyrims so far. Will see how it holds up over time though. Picked up a level 33 quest, and I just got level 5 after 11 hours.

I keep half expecting the LA Noire xylophone sound note to go off when I am doing my "crime scene" investigations lol.
