Coming out on Tuesday.

The last trailer - not for the susceptible.

This is supposed to be an in-game scene. If this is true - and I guess it is - this will really be a RPG like very few others. It seems to do what, at least for me, no RPG since Morrowind did: it grabs you and throws you all over the place. And I am not talking about fighting, although this is probably great as well.

Four more days.

I think I'm going to get it but I'm not hanging on the release date - I still have a backlog.

I'll also get it.
Got some hype !!

Finally (RL/work interfering once more) I got the game (DVDs) and installed it (an hour and a half job - good grief!); had a problem with "day one" patch (I have games on D drive), solved it, got my freebies.

After all of this I only managed to play for a couple of hours, so for now, just a very quick first impression. Graphics are superb, of course, but with all the wonders you can admire in the landscape or in your immediate surroundings, I was by far most impressed by faces. This game is not afraid of close-ups - quite the contrary, and rightfully so: every little detail, every expression feels perfect. For the very first time in any game I felt I was looking at real people, and listening to them too - voice acting is excellent. New benchmark was set here and it will be very hard for others to achieve, let alone surpass it.

I can't say much about gameplay yet; it does feel more fluent than in older Witcher games. And the game does grab and shake you. How much, still remains to be experienced.

this is still the best game i ever played still playing
