That was part of my first impression, that they tested it with a
gamepad controller without considering keyboard playability.  What?

For something like a decade, gaming got sucked into consolitis, all
its promises and broken dreams.  Right when the rest of the world
seems to have begun to discover the type of grease that will help it
dislodge its own head from its ass, CDPR/GOG whatever goes and
executes the world's least funny polack joke by taking what was
previously a VERY PC oriented series backward about 5 years.

What amazes me thus far is that on a dual gtx980 rig, which runs
everything else pretty much flawlessly, graphics are stuttery for
those that have the eyesight to see the difference.  

And, in the rare case you take a moment to pretend to be living with
disabled hand-eye coordination and start playing like a fucking granny
on a heroin run, you start to notice that the graphics themselves
aren't really impressive or worth the effort.

Honestly I think the control and graphics are fixable problems, but
charging me for an AAA title first and working out the bugs later is
not acceptable anymore.

Locked at 60fps?  Oh boy.  Locked into 2004 technology but paying a
2015 price for it.

Oh, did I mention that I can't adjust my game volume while the game is
running? 

I hope it is only some technical warts to get worked out, because I do
want to play the game.  Some of the Witcher series games dialog is the
most fun I've had in an RPG game.  

However they have shaken my confidence greatly with this one.  I won't
pay more than $10 for their second rate titles on sale going forward
after this.  I'm grudge bearing like that :)
