Er, right. My Witcher 3 experience then.

 

My pc is an AMD fx 63000 six core processor running at 3500 Mhz. My graphics card is an ASUS AMD Radeon R9 270 with 2 gigs of DDR5 ram. Nothing outstanding - just a good, solid gaming system. Oh, I use a bog standard 1TB hard drive as well. Going to get a solid state one at some point.

 

To put it frankly the Witcher 3 runs like a bloody dream. I have all settings on high (no nvidia hair thingy though). Mouse and keyboard controls are great. I just rebound sprint and dodge to my 2 mouse side buttons - job sorted. Geralt moves like a truck just like he did in the previous two games.

 

I did get some cutscene lag (sound familiar ?) but I looked on the forums and there was a .ini tweak that fixed the cutscenes back up to 60 fps (initially set at 30, annoyingly enough).

 

As for side-quests I found they all linked into the main mission for the area quite nicely. Each quest has worth and weight in the area. Proper consequences to side quests as well.

 

There are no collectables for the sake of game padding - indeed the collectables there are (Gwent cards) improve your hand in a game of Gwent - which is a time-killer by the way. I can see myself playing a lot of Gwent in the future.

 

To sum up, it's an awesome experience which I would reccomend to anyone who likes RPG's. It is by no means a single-player MMO.

 

In the interests of fairness DA:I plays very well indeed with the above system. It runs great and looks good. Don't know why it takes to long to load up though when W3 loads up in seconds.

Just got off the GoG forums. Hell of a lot of familiar faces!

Brogan is there and JPR. New names, but same signatures!

At least with CDPR you know a patch is coming. Not like here.

Lots of gripes about keybinding, but early days. Particularly EU keyboards, how did that get missed?

When will they learn? Port from PC to console, not the other way!!!!

[JPR1964]

I have azerty as well and did this.

 

Of course depending what windows you use, mine is win  8.1, I have set languages to english VS and started the game.  At least that way the controls work with z,s,q,d.  After resetting to my native lanquage and starting game again it stayed that way.  I can't remember if lanquage pack where free on win7.

 

At least it is playable in the native controle structure the witcher currently provides.

 

May try it because the wolrd is really beautifull.  On an azerty board fixed wasd keys are totally unplayable.  It seems that game devs think only querty bords exist worldwide!

 

Yes, sure, but the tutorial is just impossible to do, and so the reconfiguration of the allowed keys a nightmare : I tackle computer problems 9-10 hours every day at work, I really don't want to do this at home...

 

And you know what? A patch is coming that will allow the editing of the controls... In 10 days...

 

Sorry, I preordered the game 4 months ago, and cannot play it : that's just gross...

 

At least DAI, for me, was playable at the start...

 

JPR out!

[JPR1964]

Lol, youve got served! This beats even EA/BW.

 

To hear this, I prefer not to be served : It's like going to a  restaurant and ordering the specialty of roasted beef... then the waiter come and tell me that I cannot have the specialty but chicken wings in place...

 

 

If it happens, I generally leave and find another one... But in this case, I already paid...

 

JPR out 

[DavianBurke]

Well, Elhanan, I was mistaken. There are some areas of the game where adult content is unavoidable. 

While I personally have no issues with the controls (DA:I's were so bad that this is a dream in comparison) I do look forward to the first patch to see how well my new favourite studio adapts. I have noticed the bulk of complaints re: controls fall into two categories:

a) Hardcoded keys on the right side of the keyboard. Some people really dislike that not -every- option is bindable. I can see that, to some degree, though all of the locked keys are menu quick-keys and on the side of the keyboard away from the "action" keys. 

European(?) keyboards with a different letter layout. The major flaw of point a, as the hardcoded keys are hardcoded based on the character not the location on the keyboard. That would render the controls terrible until a patch comes. 


I have two gripes with the game. 

I got stuck inside a half sunken ship. Fell into the hold, no way out. No console and unstuck option. Luckily I save often. 

I wish there was a quicksave option. A one key save as opposed to Esc-s-e-s-s-e-w-e to save in the second last save (rolling saves) and back to game. I've got it smooth but it could be made more convenient.

LOL i was just stuck in sunken ship too, and there is quicksave option press F5

@ DavianBurke

This article seems to suggest that Quicksave is available:

I have a nice answer from TW3 support

 

Per CD Redprojekt Support: 

I'm afraid that changing certain key-bindings is not possible for now. 
The only hotfix I can recommend is to switch to an xbox pad (both 360 and x1 are compatible) 

Kind regards, 

TECHNICAL SUPPORT 

 

OMG! what a pile of craps...

 

Starting now, I will go easy on the EA/Bioware support : they feel like angels after such an answer

 

Bah...

 

Any insider news of the next patch or DLC  for DAI

 

JPR out!

 

Are you serious?  At least the tech team had the balls to answer honestly to your face and not tell you to check out the EA forums where they are perpetually "investigating the issue".  Credit where credit is due.

 

This is what Bioware should have said from the start instead of jerking everybody around with "potential patches" nonsense, and silence for months.  Dragon Age was designed with their controls in mind.  They either cannot, or will not be patched.

 

As others have stated, Witcher is not a game thats meant for casual enjoyment.  Its control scheme is meant to be fast pace action-RPG style. 

 

Please don't forget why we have been on these damn forums for the past 7 months, decrying this PC port.  The conduct of Bioware has been anywhere from poor to nonexistent, so lets keep perspective.

 

Bioware has been like angels... ridiculous.

[Amplitudelol]

...To sum up, it's an awesome experience which I would reccomend to anyone who likes RPG's. It is by no means a single-player MMO...

 

No wonder, pros are highlighting the flaws unlike in case of Inquisition, its not mainstream enough. How they dare they say no to mmo stuff and put actual content for a single player game into the open world? Blasphemy!

 

Now, i didnt play the game so you can say im trolling. Well, im trolling. This post will be probably deleted anyway with the excuse of profanity.

 

But seriously, mods, what is the purpose of the thread now?

[DavianBurke]

Hmmm... good to know lol. 

I assumed no quicksave because it wasn't listed in the key bindings in my settings.

THIS!

 

Some people are so easily swayed back and forth...

 

JPR, you are really not holding a sober perspective on things! Like Gundar3 said, you got a straight answer from CDPR about the WASD bindings. If you asked this question to Bioware tech support, you would either get no answer, or something vague like "We appreciate your feedback and we are listening to our fans".

Besides, TW3 is playable straight out of the box, with the majority of keys re-assignable. And I will bet money that CDPR will add a patch to re-bind WASD without first taking a 2 month extended holiday, leaving their fans abandoned, like Bioware did. And we will get patches that actually fixes things without breaking other things.

 

So get your head out of the sand, buddy!

Here there is a sticky thread for Players to vent. At other locations, such threads are removed and deleted.

And while I have not used either Tech Support team for games, even in this adoring thread there has been other positive comments made of EA support.

While JPR and myself have not always been together here on our opinions, his criticism of hard-coded Key controls apparently is not a lone one. Others needing to re-map their controls have voiced sim thoughts, and while in the minority, their puzzlement as to such an oversight appears to be quite valid. Hope the patch does get made.

Exactly, while Inquisition's control was fine from the very beginning (tac-cam included of course) there are true concerns with W3.

As has been mentioned, no problems here as I am quite used to WASD, and would likely not have issues with controls there; no need to re-map the hard-coded keys. Am simply pondering over the issue of controls: sim problems for both games, issue largely ignored in reviews as most used controllers, both games garnish praise from the majority, etc.

The curious part comes from seeing similar and different reactions and responses to the sim problems; from both companies and Players. Hopefully it gets resolved for both games.

[Amplitudelol]

Best option would be to just stick to pc-exclusive games to avoid these nonsense bs going on around AAA developers and controller optimized gameplay for PC versions of their games. They dont even try to hide it was not meant for mouse and keyboard, only hotfixing something minor later best case scenario. Im going to buy Witcher because user opinions indicate its worth it even if controller is truly needed. Which is probably not needed in my case because i have "compatible keyboard". Hell, id be pissed if i bought it and support said buy a controller, jesus... JPR got it right into the face. But after that im going to stick to my favourite mmorpg (No, not Inquisition, an online one ) and maybe take a look at Stormcoast Legends. I dont want another console game for PC, thanks.

I actually had to do a double take, because I thought you were being serious.  The tac-cam insertion threw me off, so well done.

Thank you for making me remember why Bioware "betrayed" myself and so many of their old fanbase here on these very forums.  Its important for us to remember from time to time, as we gamers are a fickle breed with the memory longevity of a goldfish.  And isn't that funny, communicating with Bioware is just like continuously ramming into a glass wall.

 

If this is nothing but "a place to vent", then its good for us, as a place where we can go to get over the loss of this developer.  A little group therapy, if you will.  We can all commiserate here as Bioware flips us off (as illustrated by their inaction) and moves on themselves to greener pastures.  Certain people are always bemoaning "hugboxes" and "safe-spaces", so here is ours.

 

But therein lies the problem, Bioware cant simply give a ****.  As you say, all threads regarding all the issues here that are placed in the feedback thread, no matter how eloquent, or reasonable - are deleted.  They have no time for us.  They do not care.  Not stroking their ego, or providing them cupcakes, is just too "toxic" for them.

 

I don't care if there are positive comments made about EA or Bioware.  They already think what they do is great, otherwise they wouldn't do it, its very simple.  Mindless praise does nothing - and frankly this is not the thread for it.  Don't even give them an inch, otherwise any criticism you give after that, will be unheard.  Go to the feedback threads for that.  But outrage changes things.  My position on these forums is not be a "peacekeeper", but to get people motivated to push back against Bioware and EA, and all their shenanigans in this game and their lack of care for us as consumers.

 

I hope a patch comes for Witcher controls as well, assuming ofcourse they are actually bad - I intend to start playing it tomorrow.  But frankly, if they truly are bad, and a patch does in fact come, they have 7 months to implement it before they are nearly as bad as Bioware.  Apparently, at least their tech gives a response, so they already have an edge.

 

Now, on to the substance of the Witcher, which we all want to talk about, I hope it shames Bioware.  Hard.  Its sales alone are already pointing to something good.  The only thing remotely negative I've heard about the game so far is that there become fetch quests to pad out the story.  Given that I have never seen a game with so many mundane fetch quests and useless padding by menial tasks as Dragon Age: Inquisition, this does not sound like that much of a problem to me.  I hope that the storytelling, the characters, the ingame-mechanics, and the actual presentation of "mature" themes (which Bioware considers its mission currently) pretty much forces Bioware to reform themselves, if they still want to compete in the industry...  This assumes that Bioware still wants to make "dark/gritty" fantasy stories.  If they don't anymore, the last one that went for realism in themes was Origins... Arguably DA2, but Origins is a safe argument.

 

Too salty? 

[Elhanan]

Posts concerning controls and graphic downgrades of TW3 were being deleted soon after creation. On this thread for DAI, one may go back and see when and where such complaints were made; most are still here.

Have fun storming the castle....

[Hurbster]

Sorry, how long did we have to wait before we could rebind the mouse buttons in DA:I ? And the tac-cam controls are still way better using a controller, even today.

Don't recall; never had to rebind the mouse. And my Tac-Cam works fine with KB&M, so have no idea if a controller is better or not. However, am still glad DAI has Tac-cam and Pause; some other games don't have the options.

Are you serious??? I preordered this freaking game 4 months ago and I cannot play it?

 

If I care about the balls of the CDPR support : they're just useless...

 

And you know what, a miracle patch with 600 corrections is coming : THIS PATCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE RELEASE!!!!

 

Stop being a blind fan boy and start to open eyes...

 

Perhaps you can enjoy the game, so be happy and I suggest you to go back to the CDPR forum to sing some chores to the HONESTY of CDPR...

 

But I will not : because I can play DAI, even with the clunky controls and not TW3...

Sorry Dubya, but you' re wrong... 

 

I cannot play the game : MOVEMENT key is not rebindable!!!!!

 

So, FOR ME, TW3 is a pile of crap horses : 4 months I preordered the games, 4 months, and I even cannot play it...

 

I happy that you can enjoy it, but for me, CDPR are not better that the others...

 

To each one is own...

Yes, I was discussing with a friend about this problem, and we agreed on that... I personally will stop completely preordering AAA games definitively and will not fall any more to the sirens of the so-called bonus...

 

My next game to support will be Bard's tale 4 , if it's PC first (like wasteland 2, Divinity Original Sin)

 

And yes, I was not happy with this answer, and apparently was not alone...

 

JPR out!

[DavianBurke]

JPR what exactly is the issue? Are you using the non-qwerty keyboard? Or do you prefer a movement bind other than wsad's location on the qwerty keyboard (ie, whatever those same buttons are on the other kind?) 

I heard that you can switch the keyboard type in most operating systems like any other feature toggle. Until they patch the in game rebind, have you tried just toggling to qwerty prior to launching and switching back upon leaving the game? Band aid fix, but doable, assuming the issue is just your keyboard type. 

I've not been on their forums yet, but have seen others say that CDPR has a patch coming out within a week to address these issues. As said earlier, I hope they resolve it quickly as you're missing out on a fantastic game.

You're saying that CDPR should have foreseen all bugs, which is simply impossible. It is 3 days after release and you ****** and moan about this huge patch not being out earlier? Wow....you're now acting like a little school girl.

Will it kill you to pick up a controller just for another week, until the keybindings are fixed?

 

Honestly, you are being totally unreasonable, acting like a spoilt brat!

 

But like you say, to each their own. Don't play the game. go play DAI again, apparently that is now suddenly a much better game in your extensive experience having compared it to TW3. 

 

What a load of dog poop!

Honestly, you are being totally unreasonable, acting like a spoilt brat!

Believe the 'bug' mentioned is that AZERTY keyboards (these may be European KB's; uncertain) still have WASD for movement hard-coded into the system. These and some other non-bindable keys are creating trouble for those that prefer and/ or need other controls. As this would seem to be a rather large group of possible Players, it seems that this KB&M problem should have been foreseen.
