The Witcher 2

So I got this game for free after winning a PC Gamer magazine contest.
It's fucking awesome.
I don't play single player games, but this is pretty cool.

ANYONE ELSE PLAYING??????????

I didn't get it because The Witcher 1 was terrible. The missions were dumb and it had the worst combat system ever. I haven't really looked into witcher 2 though so maybe they fixed those things

I didn't play the first one, but I heard it was terrible yeah. The combat system is decent, idk. It's a lot of clicking and rolling, with some magic spells thrown in.

The story is pretty good so far though.
And I just had a boss fight that was pretty intense.

edit: and the game is beautiful

the first one is ok but I want to beat Dragon Age first.

I rather liked The Witcher 1. I'm still working my way through it, I want to beat it before playing the sequel. But yeah I'm really looking forward to getting The Witcher 2.

Here are two awesome trailers for The Witcher 2 for those of you that are interested. Both of these trailers are NSFW as they contain nudity.

I bought Witcher 1 yesterday and after putting about 5 hours into it, I think it's a pretty solid game. Loving the music and the combat isn't terrible as someone stated earlier.

The kill 20 wolves get 10 pelts type of quests are really boring IMO. The combat is a little clunky but not too bad, and I agree the music is great.

lmao they had WoW quests in the first witcher game? That sounds horrible.
Haven't encountered anything like that in the second game. Mostly everything you loot is just for potions or mats for crafting things.

I wanted to get it but I doubt my computer will be able to play it properly.

That's actually the main reason I didn't like it. That and the combat system which was also like WoW (click to autoattack, then click again every once in a while to autoattack faster).

Played the Witcher 1 and 2 recently, neither is good.

The Witcher 1 did have a lot of fetch quests but most weren't necessary all you got for secondary quests was useless money.

The Witcher 2 wasn't much better imo, made any sign but Quen useless, made combat even simpler and alchemy is basically useless.

I never liked alchemy in the first place.

you guys are stupid. Witcher 1 is great.

Yeah the quests are no different from what you'd find in WoW but at least this one has a coherent story and choices that aren't black and white. Yeah the combat isn't really anything new or interesting but at least it's fun to watch and up close thanks to the over the shoulder third person camera.

And the Alchemy part of this game actually isn't all that bad. At least it's easy and intuitive and rewards those who experiment. Give it a chance dwarf.

I dont know maybe I am missing something but i'm having a hell of a time with this game, so far anyway.

Beat Witcher 1, Bought Witcher 2. Holy fuckballs if this is probably the best looking game i've ever played. Still getting used to the combat but I like it so far.

Lots of useless junk but whatever. Just got through the prologue and liking it so far!
