Cheaters, crashes, cheaters, more cheaters and even more cheaters, but: you can ask for items in dicussions, ask for anything, 60 fps. Is it worth it ? No, if you bought this game on ps4, but if you are living in USA 30$ is nothing for you. If no, well buy it with all dlc's if you want.
Edit: well you live in Canada so you can buy it.

I have the game on ps4 and graphics are worlds better on pc, as long as you have a decent rig. Optimazation is meh. Gonna have some dips in certain areas. There are more cheaters, but I've personally never had a single crash.

Trust me, buddy, Poland ain't the only country with broke motherf*ckers.

ya i dont get his " if ur in USA 30$ is nothing" thing. 30$ is something if im spending on a game not worth it... But thanks for ur feedback, I have a 1070 and an i7-7700 so i should be able to max out everything. I also have all the dlc to play on top of the story one more time so i might get it

Personally, since you already own the game on console, I'd wait for it to go on sale again for the PC. I forget the price for the game and all DLC's last time, but hopefully a winter sale. ;)

Well, obviously, everything is better. Don't see the point of playing it on ps4 if you own a "gaming" pc. I only play it on ps4 because a friend of mine only has consoles and he wanted to play it with me, but I can tell you I don't enjoy the plastic version.

Ah, ok, that wasn't clear from the thread's body.
You should get it again with the dlcs. The dlcs have really nice weapons and bosses in it. 60fps gameplay will be worth it, trust me.
PS, what are your specs, because this game is horrible optimized.

Wait, 2.6ghz? Are you playing on a laptop? Are you sure you read that right? I can't imagine a 6th gen i7 having a base clock speed of only 2.6ghz, because that would be way too low. This game doesn't scale well with multiple cpu cores, so you would get bad performance...the 1070 is enough for 2880x1620 resolution. I know that, because I have a 1070 and I am downscaling to 80p from that resolution and get constant 60fps. At 4k I get 35-55 fps.

Anyway, the i7 6700 should have a base clock of 3,4 ghz, please check that again. You should be fine then, but 2.6 would make the game not run at 60 fps.

I would have build a beast of a desktop pc with that money...but I suppose you like to travel with it so fair enough ;)

I don't know how far this laptop version of the cpu boosts, let me check...alright.
So, the mobile versions are always a bit worse in terms of performance then their desktop counter part, but in your case, you picked something very powerful and expensive. I couldn't find clear informations, but your cpu boost to at least 3,1ghz if the temperatures let it, this should be enough. You should have good performance with your laptop at 80p.
My cpu clocks at 3.5ghz and is a third gen i5, so I guess the generation leap might make up for the lower clock speed.

ya i originally had a desktop pc, but i sold it and got this because i like gaming in bed + at a desk. I would also like to travel with it. I feel like its overclocking already though because i can run witcher 3 everything on ultra at 60fps unless ds3 is harder to run :/
