I'm avoiding looking at any game footage at this stage. Screenshots are fine, but videos are off limits. It's hard not to look, but I'm managing so far :p Only two more weeks and then we have it! :D

I'm still watching, mainly because most of the content is only from the first 5 hours, in the prologue area. The review embargo ends on the 12th of May, then I'm going dark.Quote:

A lot of you have been asking about the GOG.com code being in the boxed version of the game. The answer is YES! Please check below for more details regarding this fact.
Q: Do I need Internet access to install the retail PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt?
A: The initial, pre-premiere retail PC batch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt needs to download a file from our servers to allow play. This file will either be downloaded automatically during installation process or you can choose to download it manually from a dedicated website. Since we have no DRM in the game, this is a security measure we needed to incorporate so the game doesn’t leak during the production process. No worries, the file will not be big. Copies of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt produced after launch will not contain this security feature.
Q: Will there be any sort of serial number provided in the retail PC box?
A: The game does not require any serial code to install or play. However, each retail PC copy of Wild Hunt will contain an additional GOG.com game code for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. See below for details.
Q: What is the GOG.com game code found in the box used for?
The game code grants you access to a digital backup copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on GOG.com. You will also receive full software support, i.e. future updates, as well as all the additional content like the 16 Free DLCs, the FLAC & MP3 soundtrack, comics, wallpapers, art book, all voice over packs and more.
Q: Can I install and play the game without the GOG.com game code?
A: Yes you can install and play the game without the game code.
Q: Will I be able to install updates and the free DLCs without using the GOG.com game code?
We decided to offer software support, DLCs, and extra goodies only to gamers who confirm their purchase with the provided game code on GOG.com. This is the only way for us to differentiate between you, honest gamers who bought our game, and pirates who snatched it from the Internet.
Q: Do I need to become a GOG.com user to play the game I just bought?
A: You can install and play the game without becoming a GOG.com user.
Cool thanks. I'veQuote:

Somewhere between 35-45 gigs. The Xbone version was 35, and seeing that PC will have the option for higher resolution textures and all those added bells and whistles, I'd say that's a decent estimate. Also the pre-order steelbooks, which we won't get :/, have space for 6 disks.Quote:

The GOG Galaxy Beta is out now. I had access to the Alpha, but didn't end up checking it out. It was too bare-bones. I'll be using this with TW3 for sure though. There's also a QA livestream with new footage being shown at around 8PM tonight, on GOG's twitch channel.
There's going to be a small patch for optimization and bug fixing on release day, according to some reviewers who already have the PS4 version of the game. Framerate is apparently very stable, so good news for the plebs who are playing it at 30FPS. :pQuote:

Probably from Takealot. Don't want to do a massive download, unless I get it for much cheaper through a digital download.
