I found the combat to be kind of broken in the first one. Did the second one improve upon it?

This looks amazing.

I found the combat to work very well in 2 and then bought the Witcher last week and found that to be a little weak in comparison. I have played about 2 hours on the first and don't think I will be playing much more in truth.
 
Games for Windows Live was an absolute joke when it came to running games. A nightmare to get started and I remember trying to get Dirt 3 installed and up and running and it resulted in me wishing I had got a pirate copy of the game, as after an hour, I still couldn't get connected and it wouldn't let me play without connecting. What a joke.
 
CD Projekt Red released a handful of new Witcher 3 screens last week, which you can see for yourself in this post. Not everyone was entirely thrilled with them, however. Some fans said in a NeoGAF thread that they really don't look as good as we've come to expect, a concern that only deepened when an "insider" claimed that the studio's PR team is "creating an overblown vision of a game that doesn't exist."
The insider, as noted by Lazygamer, was "vetted and cleared" by a NeoGAF admin, and the image of Geralt squaring off against a bunch of wolves is far from awful but it does look a little flat. But CD Projekt Community Manager Marcin Momot tried to allay any fears by reminding everyone that the game is still in development.
"Please keep in mind that the game is still in production phase. Certain things are still being worked on," Momot told Worldsfactory. "The final version of the game will look better than what can be seen in the latest screenshots – no matter the platform. As you probably know, when publishing screenshots, some of them can be subjectively less appealing than others (depending on one’s opinion), that’s perfectly normal. The most important thing here is that the game will come out looking gorgeous when we are done working on it. There will be no downgrade."

CD Projekt wouldn't be the first studio to make promises about the visual fidelity of its game that it ultimately couldn't keep, but Momot's statement is unequivocal. And this most recent batch of screens notwithstanding, everything to come out of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has looked pretty spectacular so far.

I am amazed that in 2014 people still believe in bullshots. Literally every pic these days is a staged/posed "target render" touched up in photoshop.

I think the games industry is headed for a big crunch when a new Halo/CoD has the kind of scandal that Aliens:CM had, there'll be legislation or a new regulatory body or something.

I remember going to WHSmiths or Woolworths and picking up a huge box for my Amiga games and looking at the pictures and thinking "Wow" and then being massively disappointed when the game started up :D

The problem is the same still, there will always be an element of art added to sell and maybe not even touched up pics but you can be sure they are taking the best pics possible and working from there. Watchdogs was naughty though and the video released wasn't a patch on the game, although apparently there were fixes to get the game to run like the original video. I have played the Witcher 2 and those visuals were good enough for me to grab the Witcher 3, regardless of any PR.

Could be right Fella's but whilst they are still small, their practices makes me don my hat (if I had one) in appreciation. Dice had a good business ethic with never charging for DLC and look how that turned out for them...

Don't forget their parent company (CD projekt) also own gog.com, they seem to be making a healthy stream of money considering gog and cdpr are their only assests, of those cdpr have only released two games to date...

Time will tell but they seem to have that same feel valve had in their infancy.

I have bought a couple of DRM free GOG games and fantastic, So easy and cheaper.. I didn't know CDPR owned them.

I have put some serious hours into The Witcher 2. I did then buy the Witcher but just couldn't get on with the control system, so gave up (more my fault) but really wanting to play this now.

Greg I was exactly the same. It was the combat in Witcher 1 that just seemed to take me forever to get used to, and I like a game where I don't have to get 'used to it' to be able to play if you know what I mean.

Yer, the game looks great with the update but I just couldn't get to grips with the controls and I am a fan of pick up and play. I don't mind learning either (The Witcher 2 style).

Hopefully they keep a similar combat system that The Witcher 2 employs, as then I will be on it big time. I can see the work CDPR have put in and no rushing it out to meet corporate deadlines, so it should be a polished release.
