I've been playing it for about the last 4 hours or so. I just got into Act 1. This game is really good. I can use a Gamepad too OMG!!!!

Really happy that I can run it on high with no stutters. They really stepped up with this game.

What kind of system are you running? Also how is the combat with a gamepad?

i7 860 2.8Ghz

8GB DDR3

HD Radeon 5850 1GB VRam

Combat is great with the Gamepad. I definitely prefer it over the mouse and keyboard setup. (That's a personal bias though because I kind of suck with that setup)

Nice playing on high is still a visual delight.  i hear using the gamepad is glitchy ? Have you found any problems using the gamepad and is it worth using the gamepad over the keypad?

Only had a chance to play a bit of it, but the game looks really nice so far! I'm currently playing the game at 1920 x 1080 on Ultra settings. 1080P is the limit of my monitor, so I'll have to wait until I get my new monitor (Dell U2711 is what I'm looking at now)  to crank it up higher.

I have:

i7 2600k 3.4ghz running at 5ghz

8GB 1600 DDR3

2 x 2GB Radeon 6950's (unlocked to be 6970's) in Crossfire, running at 6970 core/mem speed.

Damn. I thought mine was pretty decent but that is straight up roids.

I am some ways into chapter 1. Fun game, the new combat can be exremely annoying (liek why the fuck amd I not hitting EVERYTHIGN my swordgoes through, and not just what is targetted?) but you get it after a bit. Quen sign is by far the unfairest part of the game, I have found. Graphically it looks prety dan good, except for the hairs of people. The hairs are fucking horrendous.

The story is interesting so far but it seems less original than the first one, but this is only halfway through chapter 1. The lack of sex cards is fucking dumb. I don't want to see plastic sex, I want the damn drawn cards.

i m sorry but this is still weird to have no official thread while we are so close from the release ... that made no sense to me

too bad my pc is bugged and keep having problem playing ...sc2 !
