Anyone having an issue where the game "crashes" visuals stop (crash to desktop) working but you can still hear the sounds and menu clicks. Ie the game is still working, just the graphics are not working.
End task and restart the game fixes it but, meh, mission.
Very rare, maybe once in a couple hours, just lame when it does.

Had it when a desktop popup came up.
Yep, gotta agree. This game is much better on PC. Higher framerate, better graphics, natural mouse movement makes you really appreciate the beautiful scenery, loading times are much shorter and you'll have access to mods when they start to appear. Plus games are cheaper on PC. I paid around R650 for the Enhanced Edition that includes the Expansion Pass. Just the base game on console costs much more than that.

Oh, so you guys don't use an Xbox / PS4 controller then
I have the option but I prefer playing it with kb+mouse.
Be gone heathen!
I have a controller somewhere in a black bag stuffed in a closet I used for emulators but I don't use it for other stuff.

It just seems that it would be controller friendly...
I do often, but not with Witcher 3. I use my gamepad for racing games, sports games, side scrollers and fighting games.
I did give Witcher 3 a try with the gamepad but it didn't feel right. It could just be that the game is very well calibrated for mouse and keyboard.
PC is objectively the best platform to play this game on though, for the reasons mentioned in my previous post. Especially for someone who doesn't own a current gen console. He should be aware that the entrance fee for W3 is not that high.

I only use my controller sports games and fighting games although i did use it for Dragon Age Inquistion as i hated the pc controls -_-
Witcher 3 runs amazingly on a keyboard & mouse.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen mouse and keyboard controls more terrible than Inquisition. For me it's unplayable without a gamepad.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Will give it bash with KB+Mouse first then.
PS: Thought a controller might be better for the combat bits (speaking out of ignorance here - Batman Arkham was brilliant with a controller)
Personal preferences may differ, but I find combat with keyboard and mouse second nature in W3. Just as natural as moving about.

Ah, thank god. Was worried I wouldn't get it before I went away.
