The actual footage of that room looks insanely good. Then there is also the balcony view from that room:
Oh yes, I can totally see that running on the 360 and PS3.
I don't have it either if it makes you feel better. And I'm not going to try to until Tuesday. Mainly cause last time I tried to get a game early I was foiled and doesn't seem my luck to get it early.

Has Amazon UK dispatched anyone's order yet? It says dispatch estimate was yesterday....

Not mine. Dispatch is down for 18th with delivery on 19th (Collectors Edition) - I changed my delivery method to one-day delivery when I heard some people hadn't had any dispatch messages on Saturday with their First Class deliveries. This turned out to be true with mine so I changed. Hopefully that hasn't made things worse, despite what my order now says.

Just the Story! [EASY]
Story and Sword! [NORMAL]
Blood and Broken Bones! [HARD]
Death March! [HARD]
There is a trophy for completing the game on Death March.
Is death March the one with permadeath?

The status has now changed to packing for me. So with Sunday's postal delay it should arrive Tuesday. I don't think I've had a game pre ordered for launch day in years.
Would love to know why Amazon US cannot deliver Collectors Editions with Release Day Delivery. I understand they are huge boxes and all but they had time to get that stuff out to the right facilities to facilitate release day. I mean I have 2 amazon warehouses within like 20 miles of me
There is no longer perma death in any mode.
here's a review from someone who played PC, Xbone, and PS4 versions and he does make comparisons between them.

I found The Witcher 2 easy enough on the hardest setting and managed to get all the achievements. Should I play The Witcher 3 on Death March Difficulty?
Debating if I should start on normal or hard. Probably hard and lower to normal if it gets to challenging.

It's very easy on normal. Hard isn't too challenging either. I'm 15 hours into Death March right now and it plays perfectly.
Worst case scenario you can lower it if it gets too difficult for you.
Death March it is!

Thanks, that's good to know. May give it a shot.
Edit: If the map doesn't show question marks for undiscovered locations then I'll probably play it on normal. Second time around I'll hit the story only on death march.
Think you can disable this in the options.
Thank god, that's the difficulty I'm going for. Looking to get the 'true' Witcher experience off the bat
I don't think I'll even get out of the tutorial area on the first day!
But once I do I'll be exploring, story be damned.

So we have a main quest completion time from a fellow GAFer.
Sounds amazing. CDPR weren't kidding when they said 24hour speedrun.
Can't wait to get lost in this game.

Doesnt a higher difficulty setting also reduce the experience you get from quests? So there'll be a much "tighter" skillpoint budget to experiment with.
Anyone got actual numbers on this? (Completing a task at normal vs hard vs death march?)
God, I hope there are no XP penalties for Death March. I wanna play it that way too, but XP penalties might turn me off.

Hard is the recommended difficulty?
Yeah
Ive been reading the downgrade thread and laughing
If you are so concerned with how the tessellation works on the grass in a 200 hour + RPG then you are playing games for the wrong reason
But GAF gonna GAF

My World of The Witcher Compendium arrived today via Amazon Prime! Got the game yesterday though. It's great so far. Technical issues still remain but they're hiccups in the grand scheme of things. The only thing that really seems to bother me is the fact that the framerate during cutscenes is still a bit iffy sometimes post patch. And Geralt can be a little bit difficult to control at times, not sure why.
What are the rules for posting pictures of the insides of artbooks? Would be great to share some of the pages on here. Compendium is amazing.
Yup I have gone in there for laughs. It's insane. People in there would enjoy gaming more if they weren't so concerned about graphics.
Don't know if this is the right thread to post that in but here is a Twitch stream by some german dudes who are playing the PC version (1.02).

Yes. On Easy and Normal, you can meditate to get all of your health back, but on the other two difficulties, you must use potions or eat food to regain health..

Got my compendium too. It has to be the best that Dark Horse has made (minus the Hero's Guides to Elder Scrolls Online but that shouldn't count) and this is coming from one who loves their coffee table-style books.
This is from RPS:
That pretty much goes along with the emails I've gotten about review copies so I'm not sure where PC Gamer got theirs. The only thing I know about the PC version is that it's been floating around torrent sites for a good while now.

Actually PC Gamer released preview (observations) and they stated that review for PC is coming.But some PC gaming sites did their review based on PS4 edition which is weird.
I asked this question because metacritics still hasn't updated review scores for X1 & PC.
Well, according to the PR company I get my review code from - there's no PC or X1 copies to review yet. Originally only folks with PS4 dev kits could review the game. Final code for PC, X1, and PS4 would be going out tomorrow or even launch day. It's really kind of shitty, honestly, with the size of a game like this to not even give reviewers at least a weekend to put some time into the game before launch.
Probably just the preload files. Otherwise PC footage would be all over the place.
