Urg what have they done to the combat? It's awful! Not sure i can be bothered playing any past the first 10 minutes.

What a let down

Way better than the first.

Antar Bolaeisk · 17 May 2011 at 19:29

The combat is excellent :confused:

(if a little on the button mashy side)

What do you not like about it?

JB took these, respect

You'd think that right after DA2 showed the world how to really tell a story, The Witcher 2 would have learned something from Bioware's opus.

It just doesnt flow. There's pauses before and after doing any action where he just stands there and does nothing for like 1/2 a sec.

Like <press space>-pause-roll-pause-<press Q>-pause-do sign-pause...

Lol, thats the lamest trolling attempt I've ever seen. They really should disable comments reviews until a week after release.

I've had to use a xbox pad to play as I'm too awkward on the keyboard for combat.

I do find it funny how most of the ratings are 10, maybe one 9 then you get two complete morons rating at 0. Making out there is nothing what so ever appealing about it.

Its quite obvious they are trolls and ratings like that should be removed.

Of course they're all trolls. They all keep acknowledging DA2 so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if its 4chan again.

The game is getting 9/10+ scores almost everywhere.

Think I might have to preorder before I'm done with the Witcher?

Shamikebab · 17 May 2011 at 19:49

Combat is a bit better but still not brilliant, enemies damage me without coming close to connecting and it feels a bit...sluggish.

For those using the 360 pad, is it possible to invert the analogue stick?

Larrs888 · 17 May 2011 at 20:07

Got my shiney collector's edition today afterwork, spent ages installing it and now it won't activate. I have quad checked the serial code and it stills says it doesn't exist!

HELP!!!!

Cheers

Yeah and its the code from the back of the manual, I have never had trouble activating a game before. It was a sealed copy so it's not like the code has been used before.

stoke1863 · 17 May 2011 at 20:12

I cant even get past the first sequence of combat! Any tips

Quen sign, run in and jab with sword, run away again. Repeat until they die.
