Witcher 1 is the better game imo, not saying 2 is rubbish, by god it is a masterpiece as well. But 1 has the edge for me.

I'd say 1 is the better story, but doesn't feel as polished in some places, 2 is fantastic!

Thanks for the link, i know its not gonna look that good on my rig but my wallet is now ready

Looking forward to this, just got a new Mac Pro for work so my old work PC is being relocated to the lounge for gaming duties, I'll have an SLI GTX970 setup connected to a 55" TV, might miss using mouse/keyboard but the trade-off ought to be worth it!

Really looking forward to this. I've never played Witcher 1, but Witcher 2 was the game I enjoyed most in 2011.

Witcher 3 will likely push me to upgrade my PC, but I'm going buy the game first and see how it goes...

Going abroad just over a week after this is released, don't know whether to start it before I go or wait till I come back. So hard making the right decision.

Wait.

So you have something to look forward to do following your post holiday blues.

Hmmm may have to buy the game guide for some gentle reading while away...

Everyone should check out the code giveaways forum

Also, the latest trailer got me excited seeing all of the different armour variations you can get, as lack of customisation was one of my biggest worries about the game. The armours look great though!

I like the fact in the lastest trailer it showed how if you clear a town of monsters people will come back and your be able to buy stuff off them and maybe they will have quests two

So concerned my 3gb 7970 is not going to be able to handle this game.

It'll most definitely run it, just on medium settings and what not.

The textures of the open world look fairly "light" (trees and grass in particular), I think it will run much better than we might have guessed.

I lol'd at the vampire moment in the video, great bit of comedy.

Also, I'm sure the female narrator says "erbs" and not "herbs" too, she may of but I still lol'd.

Now I never played the other Witcher games but this trailer has got me intrigued.

So tempted to get a 4K screen for this game, just not 100% my 295X2 will handle it...heres hoping for a decent crossfire profile at launch.

I wouldn't yet I will be waiting at lest another year to see what happen's with all the technology's that's about atm and to get better support for 4k from windows 10 as from what I have read scaling in window is just bad atm

Looking at getting a 32" 4K screen if I do so should not have to worry about scaling too much. Its the performance I'll get I'm concerned about.

There's no chance you'll get a crossfire profile at launch for this, there's a good chance it'll be around 3/6 months till you do. Your 295X would play it quite nicely @ 4K when the profile does finally come.

Really want the collector's edition of this but the PC one is sold out everywhere. I think I'll buy the console version, sell the game, and buy the standard edition PC version.
