A number of fixes have been made in blocking functionality during combat. Also, player character responsiveness in combat has been improved, and Geralt can attack more than one target during normal combat.

Looks good, especially about attacking more than one enemy

Awsome, just ordered the game and new AMD drivers will be out on the 15th!

So all the DLC are contained in the patch, I dont need to register or do anything special?

Cat_In_Pyjamas · 2 Jun 2011 at 22:54

14. An auto–save has been added before the fight against the draug.

BEST FEATURE EVER!

On a side note - I wish they'd just fix the god damned registration servers already =/

"By mistake on one of the carpets in one of the games brothels there were islamic motives. Not a good taste and pure mistake. Carpets in this particular brothel then get exchanged

What's this about? Did people complain about Roche's turban style head dress or something. I don't remember any things being Islamic themed really.

It was a mosque with a half moon on it on just one object in the game... The developers got scared had a panic and removed it!.

I didn't even notice it, thus i'll put it back in after the patch

lol by mistake

Dave**** · 3 Jun 2011 at 00:36

I have only just started chapter 3, but if that means the draug that you fight during chapter 2... That thing was the easiest thing I have fought yet, let it charge you, roll, hit in the back a bit and repeat.

I have more trouble fighting a billion mobs that it throws at you and you can only attack one of them, even with the talents that are supposed to let you hit more than one.

Oh how I wish the combat was the same as the first one

Maybe these new features and fixes will make me like the fighting, I bloody hope so!

What's the easiest way to beat letho in chapter 1

Throwing Knives, waddle down his hp.

Yrden, to trap an dthen slash him.

Aard, to disrupt and slash at.
Add in a Quen for some defence. If he uses quen, just Yrden and let him run into it.

You can also cancel out his Aard and Igni with spells of you own, when I did that with his Aard using mine I had a "me Gusta" "I'm a jedi" moment, hahaha.

There's so many ways.

In fairness the game is rather easy, I finished it on Hard yesterday. Going to have a go on insane today with the patch and see what changes they've made to the Prologue.

Keep hitting him with quick swings and dont break from attacking him

Avoid him when his quen is up, knock him off balance with aard when it's down, hack twice then rinse and repeat.

Letho tries to attack multiple times I found, so if you just roll around until his quen is down roll to his sides and keep rolling until you dodge his first swin and are to his sides/behind him and you should be able to get 2 or 3 quick attacks in and roll out of there again. Rinse and repeat.

While we're still developing enhancements and improvements for the PC release, the majority of the studio has now shifted to the 360.

We intend to spend the time we need to reach a comparable if not higher, in some aspects, level of quality than we reached on the PC version.

So it starts

Any DLC we've created for the PC game will be included in the console version. And the other way around, the new gameplay and cutscenes we're developing for the 360 release will be available for PC gamers for free as DLC. We have some very interesting plans in this regard, but it's still early to talk about them. We intend to provide more details at Gamescom in August.

The Witcher 2 reached an impressive 400k sell-through in the first week – so we are very, very happy. We're not ready to discuss the specific proportions of retail and digital sales just yet, but we can say that the digital distribution numbers have been very satisfying; this channel has becomes a very important one.
Overall we expected to exceed sales of The Witcher 1 by 30%, but now we might do much better. We may reveal more about our numbers once we will receive data for the entire second quarter.

xbox 360 is a superiour platform to pc, so this is good news for gamers everywhere

Pighardia · 3 Jun 2011 at 11:28

I predict that the universal praise is going to subside now, and you will find a lot more people willing to talk about the obvious deficiencies that this game has. The same people who said it was the best game they have ever played will suddenly start finding problems with it

Doesn't change anything for me, i have already played and enjoyed it. Though i liked it, i didn't really think it was anything special anayway tbh, corners were clearly cut.

Neil79 · 3 Jun 2011 at 11:29

Oh it is a great game but it does have it's flaws for sure, some of them bloody annoying!

Blinded by fanboism is funny as hell and it thrives in my generation

They think I have a superiority complex when it comes to PC but we all know it's better

More people working on an unreleased version than the released version?

STOP THE PRESS

And perhaps when they're talking about imporving the quality they're referring to the bugs that are in the PC launch version? It's a great game but you'd hardly call it a high quality product what with the bugs and server downtime
