This game meta is beating my expectations. I can now say that I was okay with the game's delay to get rid of bugs. And the quality of the game is reflecting that the delay was probably worth it.

There are too much bugs and performance issues yet.

I hope the day one patch fix some of these things.

I bet, but unlike other games with known bugs at launch it is not enough to make the score drop to the 80s, or below. 



90/100 from 4Players.de (of course PS4 version)

10/10 Masterpiece. PS4 Version.

Conclusion

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt sets a new standard for open world RPGs. Its shockingly cohesive world is as beautiful as it is demanding, and it's packed full of mature content that throws you from one emotional response to the next. Its storytelling is superb, its combat is grippingly refined, and its often unforgiving nature only lends itself to a brilliantly rewarding experience. In an industry that's flooded with so many by-the-book open world titles, Wild Hunt stands out as a true labour of love from a developer that's uncompromisingly passionate about its creative freedom. Geralt's incredible adventure is nothing short of a masterpiece.''

Played a couple of hours of the game so far... It's just brilliant. Disappointing that I somehow can't upload my 360 save a little bit but understand that it would take crap loads of work for cdprojekt red.

Game looks brilliant. If this is downgraded... Wow. Framerate seems decent. I'm too busy playing to notice so it hasn't impacted the gameplay at all.

Had a loading screen issue though and there have been reports of it happening on all platforms. Hard boot fixed it for me, don't try to uninstall and reinstall before trying that... The websites I read believed that to be the only fix. Though I only have the copy on xbox one so can't comment on the other platforms. Anyway, it's pretty much midnight here and I'm off to bed.



I have played 6 hours on pc with all settings cranked to ultra with nvidia hair works on as well. the game is mostly 60fps. theres a framerate issue during cutscene which is bug . Apart from that the only i notice it , is when you ride roach too quickly from area to the next. I have had no problems with game breaking bugs as mentioned on the internet.

The graphics is purely stunning. The story is fantastic and the detail on the npcs and the main characters is wow. Oh yea yennefer on ultra is damn fucking hot!. Combat is much faster and much more responsive then witcher 2. Leveling up system is very detail and follows skyrim with light, heavy an medium armor. Mutagen plays a bigger role here with your character stats and how bonuses given by the mutagen increase if you match them with the abilities you unlock. AI is pretty smart.

You don't have to worry about them. Difficulty hasn't changed from witcher 2. At the start you are alot stronger then you were in witcher 2. Plus no loading screens is awesom. Btw if you have purchased the retail version of witcher 3 , then you have to install 4 discs. The graphic options available is not as big compared to witcher 2.

The hairworks is pretty cool. they work and looks Quite realistic. it works on geralt and the enemies. Its still not proper which you guys will see as you progress in the story. If you dont have a top end GU, you will get quite a bit of performance hit to your frame rate

The frame rate thing might be an HDD bottleneck. Maybe the game will benefit from an SDD install? I still need to check that out.

And the hairworks... yeah. Realistic for the monsters. But for Geralt and the others? I guess Nvidia / CD Project watched some L'Oréal Paris commercials instead of glancing at how hair behaves in real life... oh well. It's fantasy and I'll pretend they designed some alchemy to have hair like that...
