You what

How does it look like an MMO?

Then I saw it coming to 360 I thought I'd take a look... Preordered it instantly! Sitting on my shelf now, will be played once I finish Silent Hill Downpour (hugely underrated game!).

Well I use mac nowadays and just have no interest in hunching over a desk with mouse and keyboard. Also m&k only work for fps and strategy games, and pad works for all for me.

Each to their own of course, but doubt I'd ever return to pc gaming.

I only briefly looked at it, and tbh cos it was pc I just assumed... Bad on my part I'm sure, but the look I gave it gave me the mmo look... And I don't like mmo's!

I play on PC a lot, but all my PC games use the 360 controller. Best graphics with the best gameplay. I only ever use mouse and keyboard for WoW now.

Nope.

Glad I own an Xbox too then!

Enjoyed Witcher on the PC when I had one, remember it being excellent actually. Very atmospheric for a borderline RPG. Will pick this up when I've completed my backlog.

its certainly tougher than skyrim..its very easy to get surrounded by lower level creatures who all take a piece of you

Just started playing this and quite enjoying it so far. Reached Flotsam recently and took care of the Malena mission before I take on the Kayran.

But in the GT review they mention a new addition to Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition is the storage system (never played the PC version so not sure if it was there) but where do I use this storage feature? I have tons of crafting gear I want to stock up opposed to flog, but not sure where the storage area is? Is it anything to do with the Inn?

Picked this up a few weeks ago and had a crack at it over the last few days. Put it on Dark difficulty because that's the way I roll, not been too troublesome so far but I'm only in Flotsam.

I was a bit worried at first, the Prologue bit to the game was really dragging, but now I'm free-roaming it's picked up, looking forward to getting stuck in.

keogh - Go the the inn, speak to the innkeeper and you can use storage there. I think there is a barrel somewhere in Flotsam where you can stock etc as well. Might be outside the inn can't remember.

Edit - spoke too soon, this is bloody hard on Dark. Overwhelmed by multiple opponents very easily.

Just like to bump this to let people know that I've encountered a bug which makes the game unplayable. I'm totally unable to meditate wherever I go (create/drink potions, create traps/bombs, wait etc). Playing on Dark this makes it impossibly difficult and I'm going to have to put this down until a patch. Disappointed doesn't come close.

*Carried on regardless, managed to get past what had been troubling me, hoping that the meditation will sort itself out when I get further in the game.
