I have no complaints, haven't noticed any glitches, lags or otherwise strange occurences. I have however don't played more then 12-15 hours so I'm not that far into the world. (12 or 15 hours is CoD single player completed 12-15 times come to think of it )
It's not bad. It scales reasonably well, and I've seen people get it working even below the minimum specs. CDPR are good at PC, so not entirely surprised.
I run 3 GTX 980 in SLI with and I can run the game maxed out with the NVIDIA HairWorks turned off. A friend of mine says he can max it out on 2 GTX 780s with the hair physics turned off.
So the hair physics certainly aren't optimized; but maybe they will be with the next drivers?
2 Titans in SLI would easily allow you to max out the settings with the hair physics off.

Yeah, you should be more than fine. My R9 280X is capable of playing the game on Ultra at a consistent 30 FPS as long as hairworks is turned off. And, my CPU is actually just below the recommended specs...

But I'm finding it hard to find quests at my level. I might be dumb and missing stuff but I'm trying to level so I can start a story mission and I'm riding around looking all the notice boards and all I'm getting is contracts for levels 20 or higher. Kind of annoying.
And really, I wonder how the small text issue got past people. It's almost impossible to read anything on a big screen. I'm attacking some bandit camps and I can't even read who they hell I'm fighting and barely distinguish what level they are. Extremely frustrating.
Finished last night. Masterpiece of a game. One of the great RPG's of all time. A new standard for world building. I'll probably start it up again on the hardest difficulty.
Did you [SPOILER - highlight to read]: try to romance Triss or Yennefer? I tried both and figured, hey, these women have used Geralt for years without so much as a heartfelt apology in way or another. No way they can really blame him for loving both, especially considering the circumstances with his amnesia. Then they pull "It takes three to tango". That kinda pissed me off.
Fantastic game. Excellent graphics and art design, excellent characters, a good story, amazing sidequests and a pretty great combat system.
I enjoy how the choices in the game are not shown and you don't know what will happen when you choose. It kind gives a nice realistic tone to the story telling. I love the lore in the game as well (or series I guess) and how the game blends high fantasy with low fantasy. You get a Game of Thrones vibe from it but a nice fantastical spin to it. And I ****ing love Gwent. Was totally absorbed in finding cards and playing peeps with them. I also enjoy how the game allows me to make the choices I feel I would make without having to worry about a morality meter or something affecting the story. I choose Geralt to be a fair witcher but try to stay out of way of politics and peoples plight. It's refreshing to see.
I don't think it's a perfect game. There is glitches and some annoying things in the game. I really don't like the map zoom feature. I despise it actually and I really wish they allow me to find the area a quest is pointing too. I have probably spent a good 5 minutes looking for quest markers in Skellige due to crappy way the map zooms and the amount of islands you need to look in. Also, even though I'm enjoying this game more than Dragon Age 3, I still think the developers could learn from Bioware on how to do showcase the story better. There was few instances where something crazy happened and it was like kind of "well, that anticlimatic". Lastly, even though some people like how large and expansive the game is I feel like it's a bit too big. There was a few times where a character talked to me and I totally forgot that I talked to him previously. Also, some of the sidequest start the same by you going to area and tracking something...it's not a big deal but it does get a bit repetitive. Granted, occasionally a sidequest turns into something absolutely incredible so it's a not a big deal but it's hard to see if a quest will turn out to be like that or not. I don't want to miss something amazing but I also starting to lose interest in it.
I was digging the main story quest until the last act or so. It got a bit boring and the loading times between sections really didn't help it. You spend about an hour completing tasks to defend something but the devs go back to that same mechanic for the last missions. I was like ,"oh can't wait to play the final mission", and then Yennifer goes, "you should talk to this person, and then this person", which then I do but they send me to talk to another person and etc. Considering the loading times between cutscenes, fast traveling and so forth, I literally spent an hour of the game learning essentially nothing.
It was kind of pointless. While I believe it's one the best created and immersive worlds out there, CDP should take some clues from Bioware on creating memorable story missions, especially for the ending sequences.
