The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Well i went and got it, £24 on kinguin for a GOG key. I hope i can get it to run half decent on my r9 280 4gig ram on a AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor at 4ghz. I can get a gtx 970 but i think the cpu is gonna bottle neck it a bit :(

It's cheaper on CDKeys for a Steam key.
 
I would really recommend getting this game from authorized seller, ideally GOG.

Getting it on cdkeys/kinguin and such, you have no idea where the game came from. It can be legit, it can be stolen (though still working).
Point is, if you care about actually giving your money to people who deserve it, GOG is the way to go.

The game will definitely be playable but I doubt we'll be able to max it with a 970, even at 1080p and without MSAA. Allegedly, the game had a nasty disposition of occasionally dropping into 30fps territories on the test rig which was a 4790k/980 combo.

The 970 is still a nice card but I thought it'd be enough to nearly max games at 1080p for some time to come and it's just not. No doubt it'll offer a significant performance boost over your 6950 but, unless you're really itching for an upgrade, I would wait till W3 releases to see how it performs.

That doesn't look that impressive for Ultra, that's how I'd expect the game to look on PS4. Slightly concerning when it doesn't look like they've pushed the envelope that far on PC, suggests they've primarily been concerned with developing for the console first.

take in to account youtubes awful compression, the poster even mentions it in his top comment that it looks much better in person than on his vid. i dont like the overly contrasty look that they have gone for though
 
tbh i just want the story to be engaging. really enjoying the books etc :) if it ran on my megadrive i would be fine aslong as i enjoyed the ride :D

must say though in watching that vid and a few others previously, the 'detective mode'/quests of follow the red markers already feel like they will get repetitive. hope they can keep it fresh

Quite a few books but only 4 have been translated into English so far, they are amazing. The Witcher also had a TV show that has subtitles, also a movie but from memory the movie was just a short version of the TV shows.

The books are great! think Sword of Destiny is out near the release of the game? 2nd book of short stories i believe?

Start with The Last Wish, short stories. then Blood of Elves was the first in the actual series followed by time of contempt (which i am on now) and next up is baptism of fire (or something like that

found this while i was on wikipedia think this explains why.

while The Last Wish was published after The Sword of Destiny, the stories contained in The Last Wish take place first chronologically, and many of the individual stories were published before The Sword of Destiny.
