Once you left White Orchard, I don't think you can ever return.

I'll completely ignore crossbow and bombs, targeting with keyboard & mouse is horrendous. Also, do not forget to pick up the bird skull from the opening video in the beginning area.

Gwent is best part of the gameplay by far. I don't really agree. It's as casual as any AAA arrpeegee out there. All important map locations are immediately laid out to you. There's a GTA-style glowing trail. You can turn them off but why would you? You can wander around randomly and fight creatures but 1) they give pitiful xp and 2) they just blunt your swords which are ridiculously expensive to repair. Geralt has a AssCreed/Arkham City like eagle eye/detective mode that turns him into Sherlock Holmes and makes all exploration/investigation a breeze. Kind of dubious that nearly level 20 Nilfgaardian soldiers need a level 1 Geralt to kill a wyvern. I tried to fight them and they almost kill Geralt in one hit.

This season makes even the book look good.

Also the fact that your weapons get nearly broken after every five fights and it costs a ton to repair. There's just no incentive to get off the beaten path.

Really hope the mods that remove weight limit and weapon/armour degradation will come early. Amazing they bother to put that in a game that also has Fable/GTA-like quest compass and AssCreed style map exploration.

I'm disappointed when I noticed locked house that only get unlocked when you advance main quest. It's Two Worlds 2 all over again. Also not very rewarding exploration at all. Kill a monster 6 levels above Geralt and get 5 xp... yey.

So far Gwent is the most fun in the game.

My rig is theoretically below minimum specs but I get >40 fps on medium. Not sure to thank consoles or dev optimization.

lol just noticed they added in some inane weapon/armour repair system.

Combat is still the same crap from W2, complete with Geralt attacking targets off screen with ridiculous leaps. But hey, there's a useless dodge now, 11/10 GOTY.

What's HBAO? At any rate, game looks more than good enough for me on low/medium.

okay i will rent the blue ray next year

but the b00bies are downgraded better to just hit the Johannesburg strip clubs with Bruce this night

Ché Guevara was an excellent chess player.

Haven't seen it nor will I ever, but as this is the Internet I will still maintain strong feelings about it.

There are more likenesses between the two authors than their books' protagonists. Both are cantankerous and frankly bad writers, but good storytellers.

Oh Japan, thank you for being Japan. My wallet's open if you want to run a Kickstarter, Swery. Edit: As an aside, if this was a real world mechanic, I could have been a really great detective. Nancy Drew's terrible secret revealed.

Guess I'll have to upgrade for the next Bethseda game.
