The Witcher 2

[Teki187]

Never finished the first one, tried it twice, with the new content they added and still couldn't get into it.

Found the story really boring, the combat really boring, the linear design really boring.

They seemed to have changed a lot in the second time around, so i might play this one, but based upon the first one alone, i wouldn't play a 2nd game.

Couldn't get in to the first but will try the second if they release a demo. Will stay tuned for reviews etc.

Can't come soon enough. I loved the first one. I have no idea how people can call it boring :/

 

[Camalot]

Played and finished the first. I can't actually remember much about it now. I can't remember the story or how it ended

I did enjoy it tho

edit - just watched vid - excited now

 

[Shamikebab]

Haven't played the first yet (it's on my to do list) but I've read the book 'The Last Wish' and loved it

 

[Cutshaw]

I wasn't very gripped around the prologue and chapter 1, and I had installed for an age, but finished it a month or two back. I can understand why people might have given up early.

Definitely one of my more memorable gaming experiences of the last.. well a long time. I can't wait for the second. I do hope they haven't changed Geralt's voice, but as long as he's still the womanising boozehound I'll struggle on.

The Witcher (1) has some nasty bugs (I had to replay ALL of chapter 4 after a game-breaker appeared right at the end of the chapter...) and some disgraceful side-quests (kill 10 of this, 10 of that, 400 of these, bash your head into the desk until the pain goes away...)

But it's one of the best RPGs I've ever played, and I'd recommend it to anybody. The Witcher 2's on my must-buy list!

CD-Projekt are a great developer and haven't had to resort to blaming piracy for their sucky games not selling well. (Yo Epic)

 

[toon_mad]

i like the fights in the pubs, the voices were pretty good too

 

[Dark_Angel]

I must have been one of the few PC gamers in the world that didn't really like the original Witcher.

I haven't any idea why I couldn't get in to it... I think maybe the combat system or something? I admit though I didn't get to far in to it. Perhaps I should give it another shot?

 

[Amnesia]

this game looks really good

 

[Cutshaw]

When you get into the city things really pick up, or they did for me at least, when things get tougher and you start dabbling with the alchemy and bombs to get through a fight. The brawling in the pubs and pokerdice get a lot harsher aswell. If you already have it, I would urge you give it another go.

GOTY

 

[LeJosh]

I need to play through the first one

That does indeed look rather nice... the day and night cycles looked amazing.

Combat system did take me a little while to get used to. Tip: DON'T start on "Hard" difficulty, cause then you get no context-based mouse cursor telling you when to click to string combos together - making it much harder to do so!

 

[XiS111]

played, loved and completed the first one. will be looking forward to this one

 

[Kainz]

Maybe they can clean up the armour/weapons system which was pretty poor for the most part. Purchased weaps were pretty much useless and the best armour came right at the end.

 

[Frapple]

Bah, they're keeping that awful combat system from the first one.

Bloody QTEs.

 

[Kainz]

Indeed. QTE's just put me right off any game. I only persevered with the QTE's in Fahrenheit because it was such a gripping game, yet marred by the use of them.
