Wow. Is it a heavy flow this month, or are you really that butthurt over the controls?

Haven't looked into the PC Controls, but with XB1 controller it feels pretty natural to me. I am even finding myself way too proficient with mounted-combat (something i didn't think i'd do that much). Especially once you realize you can cast Axii on your horse while galop+swinging with your sword straight through a bunch of mobs.
Mounted combat does truckloads of damage, you can easily do enemies much higher levels than you by racing past them and swinging your sword.

I'd say you're the one butthurt here, considering you're the one bitching because people aren't talking about what you want them to.
* Geralt casts axii on raging Zewp

Once they fix the horseback stuttering mounted combat should be easier on PC. At the moment it's easier for me to get off and just kill everyone.

You are way too passive aggressive. Just go IGNI on his ass and get it over with :twisted:
Hey it worked on the Baron when he was in a rage.

Anyway, so QQ's QQing aside, some more thoughts on the game.
Overall, I think it misses the plot a bit with this big giant open-world thing it's got going. Yes, it's impressive and there's lots to do, but nowhere in this big world really stands out to me. It's dotted with dozens of little non-descript towns that all look the exact same and the countryside is pretty bland too. Nowhere stands out like the locations in the previous games, like Flotsam or the swamp outside Vizima or hell, even Vizima. Overall the world-building in this game is just completely bland and generic. Novigrad doesn't even come close to Vizima from Witcher 1. Compare the Velen swamp to the swamp in Witcher 1.
I guess it is to be expected that in a game of this size and scope the locations won't be quite as detailed or memorable as a more linear game, but it is a little sad that Witcher 3 lost so much in terms of its art direction. The art direction in the previous two games was one of their stronger points.

Cool. 1.03 already did wonders for the performance. Between 1.04 and hopefully the upcoming AMD driver I should be able to push all my settings up to High.
Lol.
Let the QQ flow.
