I've played Witcher 3 for about 25 hours now.  So far I'm pretty impressed with the game.  The graphics are gorgeous, the storyline and voice acting are top notch, and I'm addicted to gwent.  If the cards weren't $75 on ebay I'd get a set.  I've heard a lot of people complaining because the graphics aren't as good as promised.  I can't really comment on that, as I made sure not to watch or read anything that had to do with the game before it came out.  I've been burned before.  (Yes I'm looking at you Assassins Creed.)  In my opinion there's nothing to complain about.  I was caught in a storm yesterday, I wish I had taken a screenshot.  The colors of the sky were amazing, the trees were cracking and popping, I felt like I was in a real storm!  The combat does take some getting used to.  I'll admit I wish it was a little deeper, but it's a lot more responsive than Witcher 2.  So I'm good with that.  The only real complaint I have is the cutscenes do lag a tiny bit.  It is a huge game though, and lets face it the PS4 needs a little more power under the hood.  But other than that I'm enjoying the game immensely.  I still need to pick up Destiny at some point.  I'm eager to try out the prison of elders, but for now it'll have to wait.  Now if you'll excuse me, I have more gwent to play.

Ok so this has nothing to do with gaming, but I had to share.  I went to one of the local horse farms this morning, they hold tours twice a week.  Tours aren't really my thing, but I love horses so I sucked it up and went.  Very glad I did, gorgeous horse breed.  They're called gypsy vanners; the breed was bred and created by gypsies in England.  The guy that owned the farm was very informative about the history of the horse breed and gypsy culture.  It was a fun two hours!

As promised, I'm posting pictures of the Witcher 3 collectors edition.  Very awesome set, much higher quality than some of the sets I've seen.  The medallion is probably my favorite, it's already given me an idea for a halloween costume....anyway I'd like to get back to playing the game.  Hope you guys are enjoying it as much as I am!  I'll write more on the game once I've put a few more hours into it.

This is for any and all Game of Thrones fans out there.  Actually I should say A Song of ice and fire fans  :)  I got this book a little while ago.  The artwork is just incredible, so I had to share.  Definitely worth a buy if you're a diehard fan, it adds a lot to the backstory of the series.  Also Witcher 3 comes out tomorrow at midnight, as everyone knows.  If I can tear myself away from the game I'll put up my early impression of the game and post pictures of the collector's edition sometime tuesday morning.  The wait time is killing me!
