Hi

I just installed The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.

No problems installing but be warned there are a few strange things in the install process, mainly be sure to click on Options if you don't want to install on drive C:\, and instead of asking you to change disks it asks for the next file it needs, you have to insert the next disk and select the correct file from the on screen file manager.

I didn't know what was going on the first time.

The game looks fantastic and runs very smoothly on my computer.
Combat has a lot of options so it takes a while to get the hang of it.

I only played through the tutorial and I'm going to do it again. befor I go on into the game.

I looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Note: this game isn't for kids. LOL

It's pretty gritty.

I also like the fact that once you make a potion it will always be in your inventory and replenish itself when you rest, as opposed to the earlier games where you had to make them over and over to keep them available.

Damn I wondered why I couldn't make anymore... Thank you this has cleared up a mystery for me.
In battles I find pressing the 'Lock on target' key helps enormously (I've also popped this on my mouse using a thumb key, I also use another thumb key to cast signs) I changed the Tab button key which opens the signs panel to Q so it's a little nearer. I tend to use the roll command too as the new dodge skill is a little awkward to initiate.
As to what level I'm on I can't remember right now but I think it was the second...

One good hit from this Earth Elemental was instant death unless I'd cast 'Quen' (armour) beforehand. Luckily Geralt is a slippery bugger and finally after about 20 minutes the beast went down..

I finally got it. Haven't played more than 15 minutes yet. I love the graphics, though.
Definitely messing with it later, when I can crank my speakers up some and hear it better.

It will take me longer than that. I just loaded it for the 2nd time and I'm already lost. I lost where the girl went.

Do you mean Ciri?

If so then don't worry all will be revealed in time.
Your best at first concentrating on side quests and the like. You need to build your character up as quick as you can.
Learn about special potions to cover your swords with. They can give you a decent boost in a fight.

Don't forget about the Armour spell 'Quen'.

Also when fighting don't stand there hacking learn to dodge and roll as this makes your life expectancy far longer.

To heal yourself either meditate or eat food and water. There is a potion called 'Swallow' which is like the nearest thing to a med kit and you should be able to purchase the recipe pretty easy unless you find it first.

Yes, I think it was Ciri. It was actually the 2nd woman in the game. The first was when I was in the tub at the start of the game.Not exactly a tub, more like a aluminum bucket I was in.

You are in for a treat, one of the best games ever.
I've held off on finishing the add on content because I don't want to come to the end.

Hi

I've played through the original game twice, I've only got the last add on material not done.
I'm sure I have hundreds of hours of play time.

The next game I have my eye on is Conan Exiles which goes to early access at the end of Jan.

I played Age o Conan for a long time, and still log in once in a while.

Yeah, I still have a few games on my list to get.
!.Doom
2.Forza Horizon 3
3. WWE 2K17 (Not released for pc yet- Probably March release)
4.Battlefield 1 (Maybe)
5.Titanfall 2 (Maybe)
I'm gonna need a bigger ssd for #4 & #5.
@ more definite pc parts come first before anymore games.
I want to get a EKWB EK XLC Predator 240 Q.D.C. and the 2 fan addon kit for it, so I can continue with push/pull.
Then 2 1.0TB ssd upgrades (1 m.2 & 1 sata).
Then I'll think about Battlefield 1 & Titanfall 2.

Hi

Right now I'm back playing The Secret World again.
I've played it off and on since it was in beta testing.

I play with my friend paul, we get in the game for a couple of hours almost every day.

It's still fun after all these years, and the most original MMO avaiable.
It's great to have a game set in the present time where you don't run around wearing armor fighting elves and dragons.

It's still my favorite online game.

Hi

Check out this video.
This really is my favorite MMO ever.

YouTube

It's the only one that I always come back to.
I'm playing especially content now that I've never played before but I still go back to the other areas all the time to do the daily and weekly quests.

I've tried a lot of builds but blade, elemental is my standard.
