I'm in this boat. It hasn't happened too often, but there have definitely been cases where I didn't buy a game, because I was nervous it wouldn't run on my computer, and I'd be stuck with something I had no way to use.

I've only seen it once all the way through, when it first came out, but my memory is that it was pretty terrible. The bits and pieces I've caught on TV since then have dulled things a bit, but I'd still suggest watching the first one again instead.

@lawgamer: Thank you! I was kind of wondering if it might be it. I was so nervous about the noonwraith fight near the start of the game that I dumped a few points into the skill before I even attempted it, so I never really saw what the base Yrden skill did compared to the upgraded one.

Using lock-on while on horseback makes that type of combat MUCH easier.

Playing the other day, and on one particular mission/investigation, my wife turns to me, and says that it sounds like an episode of CSI. So, for no reason other than to see if I could, I ended up spending way, way too long this afternoon using the video app on the PS4 to convert two ten minute clips into a six minute pilot of CSI: Witcher. This is in the opening map area, so it's pretty early on. I'm only about 5 - 10 minutes past the end of this mission in the game, so I don't know for sure, but it seemed like a one-off to me. That said, you will see the entire mission, such as it is, which I think has a funny ending.

That's one of the explanations I found online as well. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong (not holding the trigger long enough, or something), misunderstanding the description/effect or what the case is. Just hoping someone who uses it can explain it in a bit more detail.

So I put a couple points into the Yrden sign, thinking that "alternative mode charges" meant that the spell could be cast/placed more like a mine field, but it seems like that isn't it. The closest explanation I've seen in hunting aroundaround the web last night was someone saying there's an alternative mode skill.... If so, I'm going blind and not seeing it.

Can anyone explain what the alternative mode means, how it's supposed to work, etc because at the moment it feels like I burned a couple of points I shouldn't have.

Is vote yes on a poll with that option in a heartbeat

Went to see it with my daughter over the weekend, and had a good time.

Thinking about Hawkeye, I liked that during the scene in the carrier ship, he's the only one that doesn't get whammy'd by Wanda, and it's specifically because he's as tactically aware as he is.

Also really liked that what seemed like a throw away joke scene when everyone is trying to lift Thor's hammer is then given weight and relevance when Vision casually picks it up and passes/tosses it to Thor latter in the movie.

I wouldn't have minded maybe two more minutes showing how Wanda and Pietro came to be meeting Ultron in the church without first knowing anything about who or what he was.
