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.

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.

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

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:

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.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
