*shrug* It's alright, but I wasn't terribly impressed.

[inferniac]

I've played a bit, before my main PC died, combat was difficult (though it's supposedly been fixed), graphics were amazing and I liked where the story was going. My advice, go for it.

[bryonhowley]

Very good game with great graphics sound and game play. I would recommend getting whether on sale or not. The game was much better than alright, I was very impressed and much more so after the 2.0 update. Don't think just get it.

[Andre S. Veteran]

It's the best RPG since Mask of the Betrayer.

[Wakers]

So much potential in this game but ultimately the PC version is ruined by horribly clunky controls and combat.

Was supposed to be fixed in a big patch but honestly it didn't make that much difference.

[McCordRm]

Get Skyrim.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Should I buy this? It's on sale right now on GoG and I've read a lot of good things about it, but wanted to know what other people thought.

Sure. You'll enjoy it if you're a fan of RPGs. It's one of the most well-polished games I've ever played. It's even better now for newer players because patch 2.0 added a game tutorial.

So I want to get this came but canyourunit.com says I don't meet the min requirements. It wants a core 2 duo 2.2ghz I have a 2.13ghz as for video card I am not sure why it says i don't meet that one. Is this game just gonna kick my systems ass? Minimum: 512 MB RAM, supporting Pixel Shader 3.0 (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 or ATI Radeon HD 3850) You Have: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 Features: Minimum attributes of your Video Card Required You Have Video RAM 512 MB 2.7 GB Pixel Shader version 3.0 4.1 Vertex Shader version 3.0 4.1

The graphics card will fail more than likely. System requirements doesn't go into enough detail with the specifics, but I really think that graphics card will either struggle to run it on low or not run it at all.

Unfortunately, your Mobility Radeon HD 4650 isn't enough. My Radeon HD 4870 is barely enough to run it on medium settings.

Damn alright, saves me $24 for now lol.

This game is 40% off on Steam right now.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Here's the opening cinematic for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition. It'll be out on the 17th of April for PC and Xbox 360. Just like the enhanced edition of The Witcher, it'll have new animations, cutscenes, as well as new characters and quests. And best of all, it'll be free for people that bought the PC version before the 17th of April.

The CE for this game looks great and I think I will be getting it. So happy it is coming to the 360.

You'll be happy to know that they've done more than simply port it to the Xbox 360. They adapted it so that's it more like a console game which should be good news for Xbox 360 gamers. Here's a developer diary that shows the Xbox 360 version:

[neoadorable]

wow thanks a lot for the detailed info Anaron! will be getting this on the 360 for sure.

CD Projekt is amazing.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Wow. CD Projekt RED has added a lot to The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition. It's going to be free for anyone that owns the standard version before the enhanced edition's release date (April 17th, 2012). So far, all of the DLC has been free and new content was released with patch 2.0.

My only complaint with Witcher 2 (which is similarly 1 of MANY with Fable 3), what I will call "don't leave the road" syndrome, (LoTR #1 popped into my head just now :) - "get off the road") where the game is an explorable area, but not an "open world", things like trees & bushes block your ability to travel, if you're not traveling on or within a few ft./m. of a road then you're not moving. This is something I am sure/hopeful someone has already discussed and I hope is addressed in Witcher 3; seeing as my XB1 is just hanging out since today is the first day I've put it down in favor of Xbox 360 games.

 

Note: Eventually BF4 & AC4 get tiring, and I am waiting for a good long day to complete my brothers copy of RYSE in 1 sitting.
