The Witcher: Wild Hunt

First up: The game runs and is playable on an nVidia 560 TI! For all the hype and articles suggesting it wouldn't run or needs an nVidia GeForce GTX 660 to play, the game runs! And it looks gorgeous.

Launch

Yay! You can skip the splash screens!

 Oooh Pretty!

CDPR! Cześć Hello!

Then the game goes through a short video (again in their graphic novel style from Witcher 2), explaining Witchers, and the current war going on.

The Menu and Game Config

The main menu loads fast! In The Witcher 2, even after you skip the opening titles, the game has to load.... something.... which a good 30 seconds or more, so you're sitting there looking at one frame of the opening cinematic until the menu loads. Whereas in Wild Hunt it loads in a few seconds after the cinematic (even if you skip it).
