Only thing I wish (for PS4) is bigger text. To read the ability descriptions I have to walk over and squat next to the TV.Comte de Saint-Germain posted:EDIT: Herbs also respawn *really* fast so there's no reason to pick every flower. Nice try.

Firstly, I forgot to install the new nVidia drivers last night but I don't imagine they'd bump me up to pure 60. How are you single 970 bros hitting 60 with ALL ultra AND hairworks? I spent an hour last night playing and varied between 25 to 50, averaging a highly playable 40 or so. Is my CPU REALLY killing me? Win 7 64 8Gb 970 i5 2500K 3.3 Yet you dudes made it sound like I'm abnormally low. I'll update the drivers first thing after I get home but you got me slightly worried.

how is the loot clutter in this game? one thing I hated among other things about Inquisition was the sheer amount of worthless loving poo poo you picked up EVERYWHERE.

Why can't I turn off floating numbers? I've had it off in every Witcher game, it's really weird to not be able to turn it off. It makes super hi-fidelity action graphics skill RPG combat look like a cartoon. If it was locked on in every game I'd understand but this is just weirding me out.

I'm getting 60 with some dips with mostly ultra settings, I think only water, shadows and npc spawn set to high. Hair works is turned off though, I think that's the big fps killer. I tried it and crash my game during the opening cutscene, so I haven't tried since.

Checking out the PC performance thread on Neogaf, most people are saying they have to turn foliage options down and hair works off to reliably hit 60 fps on a 970. You're still pretty low, though, and I don't think it's the CPU.

Is this game good, or is it like the last two (good storyline but otherwise tedious combat and lovely systems abound)? I feel like the developers are like Polish Obsidian entertainment in these respects.

How do I get up to level 4 for the main quest of killing the gryiffin? Do I go around and look for question marks or something? So far I've only encountered a couple of sidequests, not nearly enough for me to level up to 4.

So far I've only encountered a couple of sidequests, not nearly enough for me to level up to 4. I found and did everything except for a few of the treasure caches and went up to level 3 during the griffon hunt quest. You get experience for parts of it, not just for completing it. You don't need to be level 4 and I think the quest itself asks you be level 3 anyway. Arglebargle III posted:Is there seriously nobody else freaking out about these damage numbers?

Even on my 50" inch I have to really focus to read text. It's not that bad but it's just strange since a lot of the time large parts of the screen are unused when reading text.

FOV's got me ready to blow chunks after an hour and I can't find a way to fix it on PC. Probably a cool game but I guess I won't know until I can play more of it. Glad it was free with my video card.

Comte de Saint-Germain posted:You craft a potion once, you get a potion item with a certain # of charges (I think the charges are affected by your skills). When you meditate, any potions refill their charges if you have alcohol in your inventory, one per potion that needs to be refilled. You still need ingredients later because most potions have multiple upgrades that require the base potion as an ingredient, but you don't need to hoard flowers obsessively. This system is a little weird feeling at first, but it's effectively cured me of my open-world OCD. I still have a lot of trouble finding that one herb I need so I do keep running around and picking up everything. GreenBuckanneer posted:The game is much more GPU locked than CPU locked. I have an i5 3570k @ 4.2 and a 750ti and I just left it on the default settings the game was at and it's locked to like 30fps Yeah I have about the same rig as you and I've purposely dialed everything down lower than it probably needs to be. It seems to reduce the crashes, at least for me.

Ideally what level should you be when you leave White Orchard? I'm at 3, but I'm seeing a lot of mobs around White Orchard that are 7+, same goes for the quests in Velen. I did all the notice board quests in White Orchard and cleared out a couple of hamlets/shrines.

Nephrite posted:So I'm an idiot who didn't understand how to import my Witcher 2 save. The choice at the start where it asks to Simulate a save, does anyone know the difference? It should have a 3rd option to Import your Witcher 2 save in that prompt. If that isn't there it isn't detecting the save files. If you bought Witcher 2 on Steam and Witcher 3 somewhere else or vice versa you gotta move your save files from the steam directory to C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Witcher 2\gamesaves

Played this a bit last night and this morning. Ran it on Ultra with the hair works turned all the way up and it's been a steady beautiful ride. Even my daughter was enjoying it. She saw me picking some flowers and wanted to do it too. She did this for like 30 minutes having a blast. GOTY in my household  .Just wanted to check, which is better? SSAO or HBAO?

So am I high or is there no way to play this game in 720p? I was dicking around with the graphics options and wanted to see if dropping the resolution down would help the FPS dives but there's no 16:9 resolution option in my slider other than 1920x1080. Anyone know how I can force it? Edit: also does playing on SSD help at all? Mine's currently installed on a WD Blue but I do have enough space to move it over to the SSD if that helps at all.

Wiggly Wayne DDS posted:card game: the medic ability seems pretty powerful (instantly take a card from your discard pile and put it on the field) - it's tied to a 5 power siege card as well. not sure at this stage if it's balanced at all but it's fun to break right now Yeah, and the siege commander or whoever that gives +1/+1 to your catapults, that happens even after they hit the board with a weather effect. The rules are much simpler than mtg, I thought the weather effect would have a later timestamp.

I'll also run with whatever the gently caress that thing to check your temps is, MSI Afterburner? CPUZ? Can't remember.

Someone mentioned this before, was in the guide but I'm not sure if it ever got posted. If you want to know what each Witcher 2 choice / simulate choice does: (character spoilers) Aryan Dead/Alive: affects conversation with an NPC during a main quest (Broken Flowers) Roche/Iorveth: small conversation change when you meet Roche again If Roche, he asks about Anais/Triss - not mentioned in guide, guess it doesn't matter Sile de Tansarville: If alive, appears in a main quest (The Great Escape) Letho: If alive, gain access to a secondary quest (Ghosts of the Past). If dead, you don't get the quest.

Are bees super deadly or something? I knocked down a hive, then tried setting fire to the bees when they attacked. After that I moved off but noticed my health was falling very fast. Where can I find what affects me? I went through all my food to try and run out a timer but I still died from who knows what.

I'm playing on PS4 but have a 780ti and am used to pretty nice graphics. It looks really good, though some weather looks better than others - sunset tends to wash everything out a lot and it doesn't look great (except if you're in a forest, where it looks amazing). Rain looks incredible. The combination of the sound design (random trees creaking) and the trees actually moving with the wind makes for really nice visuals. tl;dr if someone's still angry about downgrades they probably have autism (if that wasn't obvious before)

This game looks loving great on high/ultra settings on my i5 2500k and 780ti. I could run almost all ultra, but I'm trying to stay at 60fps.
