    If you are using a PS4, pause and unpause the download, should improve the speed.

    I done that and put it on rest mode hoping that makes it go quicker, thanks.

    I hope this doesn't spoil too much of the Witcher books that haven't been translated yet. They're not set to be released until 2016 and 2017.

    I can't remember did I get anything spoiled from playing through 1 and 2.

    Cool to see all the gang back. Hopefully returning characters are more involved than the were in W2 - half of them you just got a letter from to say hi.

    Obviously.

    It'd be difficult for them to spoil things from the books that haven't happened yet.

    Like I think they might mention Ciri in 1 or 2 and that sort of thing but I don't think they really give away any of the details about what came before.

    There's a few other little references to events and characters reappearing, but I don't think there's any "hey, do you remember the time that important character double crossed you in a particularly plot-twisty manner?".

    Have a feeling that their servers are gonna get hit so badly once midnight comes around. There is no way I'll be playing it anywhere close to midnight.

    That launch trailer was epic! Great song to go with it as well. 5 hours to go, better charge up the DS4.

    It's €69.99 in Xtravision, guys. They generally have plenty of copies.

    I wouldn't recommend buying from the website though - delivery can be very slow, as I found out with PES 2015...

    Ok, bought this today (PC) and it's downloaded and ready to play. And i just realised that, according to canyourunit, i apparently can't. It says i need a minimum of a Radeon HD 7870, i have a 7850. It says that i'm grand for everyting else, and under the GPU heading, i meet the requirements for Pixel Shader, Vertex Shader and dedicated vram. Am i screwed? Or would overclocking sort that?

    I need to upgrade my GPU... :( And they still confuse the hell out of me. Too many different versions!

    You'll be grand on a 7850. What size is the download?

    I'd imagine you'll be able to play the game on low settings at least.
    You tried posting over in the upgrading forum? Plenty of people over there to give you some advice. Let them know your budget, desired make (i.e. nvidia/amd) the games you'll be playing and I'm sure they'll give you a hand.
    Might need to supply other info like PSU and mobo info to make sure you're not gonna buy something that will be unsuitable for you setup.
