Performance on PC is really good, few bugs still

So format clearly makes a huge difference when playing this game.
I am around 40 hours in and playing on PC. My PC has a mix of newer and older components, it's an upgrade in progress but here is what it's packing.
i7 4970k at stock 4Ghz
16gb DDR3
Asus Z97 Pro Mobo
RTX 2070 Super (Founders Edition)
and launching from a M.2 Sata NVME
PLaying on a 1440p LG Ultragear 144Hz monitor with HDR

Game performance is great, Im playing on Ultra, Med RTX and HDR and getting average 60-80fps and the occasional dip to high 30s but very playable and looks amazing.
The game itself is really good but not perfect. I love the Witcher series, played them all so had high hopes (but tempered expectations) for this title. The world is visualised and looks amazing, the progression system and character skill paths is well fleshed out though body mods not as much as I had hoped.
The main story and character side quests are excellent, really well done and properly engaging. Everyone is well voice acted and performances are superb. I find the rest of the side quests a bit generic though. Go to place on the map get a call/text message to complete a kill/theft/rescue and repeat 100 times all over the map. Plenty to do but a lot of busy work.
It's a game torn between trying to be a CDPR open world RPG and a GTA style crime game. When it shines it shines but not without falling short in places.
I know this game is a current laughing stock on console but if you have a PC that can run it it's well worth playing now. Or wait 6 months for the community to truly optimize it. Bugs I haver encountered are mostly just artifacting, floating cigarettes or characters sliding instead of walking. Petty stuff easily overlooked.

Excellent remaster of a fun classic

Loving remaster of the classic. I played the original a lot on the OG xbox and was excited by the announcement of this remaster. It plays like the original, great for me but less so anyone wanting a more modern experience. Fun for kids but enough challenge for grown ups too

Amazing 4k upgrade, sadly missing special features
on December 10, 2020
Posted by: Benrichards35
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have oened the extended version on dvd, blu ray and now 4k. This is well worth the upgrade! A lot of care and attention have went into improving the image quality. Hdr works well but the Atmos will blow you away. Sadly the hours and hours of special features, commentary tracks and making of are absent so falls short of perfect. Outstannding value non the less

Hugo Weaving is Amazing

Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes! what an amazing movie, so glad for its 4k release. It looks sharp, HDR is great but the biggest improvement is with the soundtrack! have this playing through a good home theater system and you will be glad you made the purchase, your neighbors not so much.
new recorded special features were also a pleasant surprise and missing from so many new 4k releases.

Amazing new playstation console with a few issues
on November 27, 2020
Posted by: Benrichards35
Verified Purchase:Yes
Yes I was lucky enough to get one and actually opened and played it. It's an amazing piece of tech, the dualshock controller is amazing and the quick resume load times is the biggest game changer.
that said my experience hasn't been flawless, a few hard crashes and after 6-8 hours of Miles Morales I has some series frame rate drops and even in performance mode. Yes this is a launch console, it'll be patched and improved but more a caution than anything.
If you see one available for a good price, buy it and play it.

As for the Movie, the purists will say the HDR negatively affects the original colours of the movie but personally having watched the blu ray and then the 4k, id say its a worthwile upgrade for the audiotrack alone.

I love this tablet

My Tab S died on me so was time for a replacement, was torn between this and the Tab S6. For my needs, which is streaming shows and reading comics, I don't mind sacrificing some of the high end specs as this things comfortably handled everything I throw at it. The S6 lite doesn't have the oled display which keeps me coming back to Samsung again and again its amazing. Its frequently on sale if it's full price now, wait a week or 2, 3 at the most.

Very impressive desktop speakers

I was gonna be the bose equivalent until reading the reviews and I'm glad I didn't bother as these speakers are a real treat. Everything you need to setup is in the box and super easy. The sound is loud, clear and with a nice resonance to it. I'm no deep dive audiophile but I can tell good from crap and these are as good as your gonna get for $100.

Lay out this Razer Goliathus Mobile Stealth Edition mouse pad. It's only 0.05" thick, making it easy to tote in a closed laptop, and the top ensures quick movement of your mouse in all directions. This Razer Goliathus Mobile Stealth Edition mouse pad has a micro texture for optimal performance with laser and optical mice.

It's a nice plain mouse pad

Verified Purchase:Yes
First mouse pad I have bought in about 15 years. How the landscape has changed. RGB pads, desk size pads etc. I wanted a good, no frills, does the job mouse pad and I'm very happy with my purchase. I use it for desktop gaming and size is perfect, the branding is there but very subtle. If you want something flashy get someone else but for a stealth mode non RGB gamer its perfect.

Pretty good phone but ridiculously fragile.
on October 6, 2020
Posted by: Benrichards35
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this phone for my wife, she isn't one for cutting edge tech so the balance of features and power for a modest price was perfect. The phone looked great and performed well however my wife dropped it when getting out the car (so less that 3ft) and the screen has completely cracked. It's so new/or not currently supported that no replacement screens are currently available. Should the phone have been dropped, no but come on one drop from a small height is pretty lame. If you get this phone get a really good cover too.
