Hows the combat compared to the first?

Just tried the first one and the combat was weird.

Pretty happy i went with GOG.

They removed geo-ip tracking so i could order in dollars and it is DRM free!

I just finished Witcher 1 last night. Superb ending and installing 2 as i speak

I'm pretty happy I didnt, the boxed premium edition is sweet! Amazing content for £25.

The coin is pretty naff though, but all the rest is all great.

One of the known issues is a long launch period for some people. Lauch the game and wait 1 minute and it may work.

What choice did you make with witcher 1?
Do you perchance have your save game for others?

Thats plays fault!

They dont use first class on their free delivery, they use naff class (not even 2nd class, I have no idea WTH they use, but it takes ages).

I would have preferred the play preorder bonus, but their delivery and CS sucks too much and I've already vowed never to pre order from them again.

Edit - Nevermind

this is why you dont order from play you should have gone with GAME instead ive never had a game not come on release day from them where as PLAY are always 1-2 days late

atheos · 17 May 2011 at 10:22

Hey Neil,

If you want it you can have it?

I sided with the (don't want to add a spoiler) flower guys.

Yea, combat was naff. So was the voice acting though, at times it was painful

They can only improve!

Last time i used Game it was horrible, first they took my money, then locked my account, then said the item was posted, then took me weeks to get my account back to find it hadnt been posted and took about 3 weeks in total to sort the mess out, never wanted to use them again lol.

But what you fail to mention is the sublime story which in my opinion makes up for the other two.

Thats just not right, I've been using Game for years and they've always delivered stuff 1 day early .... until now.

But still, having it on release day is better than having it 2+ days late from Play.
