Went into work to grab this earlier (paying at the weekend to avoid breaking the street date :D).

The game is fantastic, ingame runs silky smooth @1900x1200 everything on max except the cutscenes which stutter a little normally on the wide pan shots.

I only went to get this after reading this thread so thanks guys it will give me something to do other than the usual first person shooters.
 
"One day before the official game's launch, Atari has issued the first patch for The Witcher, updating to v1.1 this action-RPG developed by CD Projekt Red Studio. Notice that the bugfixes included in this patch will work only if a game is restarted from scratch, for some others a corresponding act needs to be restarted."

Just as well I didn't start playing earlier today then. Will start afresh with patch installed. At any rate, what I have played so far has been really great. Once you get past the tutorial bit it really opens up nicely! :)
 
hrmm hopefully these arent a competitor... i mean they sell food :)

Asda have got it at 17.97 on their webby. But ill do a quick phone in the morning to check the price as its possibly higher in store. So ill do a quick phone round the usual suspects beforehand.
 
Thanks for the heads up on the patch :p, must say these guys are on the ball :cool:, my copy has been dispatched and gonna be here tomorrow so cannot wait :D

Theres a DX9 november distro in the graphics card forum so dont forget that ;), i am all ready to go now, just need to spring clean my hard drive and i am good to go :p

Dont want this lovely game going onto a messy hard drive lol :D
 
Having played this for a while now I can honestly say - how good is this game!!!! It is ace.

If you like RPG's even remotely, then get this. :D
 
So far the game is simply fantastic. So many small details I am picking up on such as the amount of different sounds there are for footsteps depending on the surface. When it rains the NPC's run for cover, the AI or animations for ducks, chickens pigeons, you name it.

The dialogue is very well written and so far the voice acting is top notch. Oblivion feels like a game for ten year olds after playing this for the last 3 hours. This could possibly be my personal game of the year.
