So, since a few of us have been able to play the game now I wanted to put a Day One thread here and get some of your thoughts on gameplay. No story spoilers here. As for me, on day one I sat there in awe of the weather effects, ambient game sounds, music and overall atmosphere. I was just sitting at windmill for a while staring off into the sunset enjoying the view and the sounds of the old, creaking windmill, on it's last leg. Then of course I raided the house next to it for some sweet hidden treasure. :D The story is interesting even as someone that's not already played through the Witcher games or read the books. Also, this starting area already has so much to do and it's just a small taste of what's to come, so that's a scary thought =X
However, I do have some minor complaints and wonder if it is just me having these issues. First off, I crashed before downloading the new nvidia drivers, so don't forget to do that... Also, is anybody that's playing on m+kb having lag issues between pressing buttons and actions occurring? Especially in combat and selecting signs, sometimes I have to go into my signs menu twice to try to select the sign because it doesn't register the first time I try to select it. This also applies towards pressing sword attack buttons as well. I don't know if this is meant to be the case or I'm having input issues. Also, Geralt moves like the characters in Mass Effect, sliding around sideways and very much controller based, but I can handle that, at least the key binds are better than DAI was at launch, however, it does feel like an afterthought, imo, like most games that are console/pc. These are minor complaints that may or may not be me being picky and may get fixed.
How do you guys feel?
