Since I liked Witcher 1 and 2 well enough, I bought this thinking the
series would have evolved to the point where some of the niggles of
the first two would be overcome.

Early impressions are that they've taken a step back.  The graphics
appear to be roughly in the ballpark of W2, not really an improvement.
The controls feel weird, and I'm getting the impression CDPR has sold
out to the console generation at a time when most other game devs are
going the other way, finally realizing the long-term potential of the
PC platform and making sure the warts are worked out of the PC
versions before release.  

Something about the keyboard and mouse control feels screwy.  Being
locked to 60 fps is fucking pathetic on a high end machine.  It's
trying to be a game for Nvidia owners, but 144fps GSYNC'd is the new
NVidia standard, they appear to be about 5 years behind the times.
60fps is no longer acceptable once you've gotten used to proper frame
rates.

Oh, and the movement keys cannot be bound to something other than
WASD.  And they want to think they are producing AAA games?

Fucking laughable.  I was in it all of about 15 minutes then decide I
better wait for the first patch.

Seems to be the work of some idiot pollocks to me.
