Not sure if this review has been posted here before but, Rock Paper Shotgun's review

Thats one of the better reviews of a game that I've read.

@ CoS Yep. Agreed. I'll never give a game a 0 on metacritic, unless its daikatana like. I gave da2 a 4 / 10, because all the bad, piles of crap in it outweighed all the good parts. No game gets a 10 either. I gave TW2 9 / 10 so far.

@ringo

Maybe? I just wanted the cool things the $49.99 version came with. I lvoe that little metal coin, and oren from the game i think.

Its a crappy cell phone pic, but look at this! CONTENT!




EDIT: @ CoS Yep. You can craft weapons and armor. If you got the ingredients, coins, and find a merchant who can do it. The kayan is one of the monster quests, so loot!

Knew I should have gotten a boxed copy. Maybe I'll just go buy one to have a spare. CDP deserves it. This game.is alot of fun so far. For a DX9 game it's also very pretty. Thanks for the info about crafting too.

There are multiple ways of handling Malena's quest.

I saw this video on youtube and guy's loading times took quite long - twenty seconds or so. For me its like 5 seconds tops when I first run the game and then everything else loads super fast. I am loving their engine a lot so far. :happy:

I thought DAII loading times were quick (one of a few things good about it) but Witcher 2's loading times are a lot faster for me. Even when playing for extended hours and hours of time. 

Also, loving the soundtrack. No big names or anything. Just pure love and enough time. DAII soundtrack reminds me a lot of New Vegas's. But I know why.

I started to run into a lot of choices in main quest. Seems really nice and also makes you question and even regret your decision. Dialogues, voice overs. Loving it all. This game is perfect for my specs.

True. Even if I slightly disagree with a few points, it is indeed a top review!

Not sure if this was posted here but anyway here it goes:

Actually Romantiq, Adam Skorupa is rather known in he's country. What I liked about he's first witcher tracks was that they were rather original. Most of the video game music is pretty sad actually, sure many love some of the melodies, but from a composing perspective they are something a student would compose, largely simple and unfinished. I write classical music so I tend to expect more from orchestration. Witcher 2 did a fine job, but at the same time the main themes are a bit Hollywood cliche(but it's well done). The smaller pieces are still pretty original however. Really I cant blame video game composers to much, often they only get two three days for a piece of music, there just is not time for experimentation or advanced harmony. Then there is the music directors who tell them to make it sound like a copy of so and so.

Playing Witcher 2 on insane is probably one of the most challenging, actually scratch that it's the MOST challenging, single player video gaming experience I ever faced.

This is so beautiful:

Yes it's quite relaxing, one of my favorites from the first along with this one from a tavern.

Oh btw did anyone do the quest where you go see the Flotsam town "sheriff" and leave your weapons at the door of he's compound? It was a cool little quest, except that I forgot to take my gear back after leaving late at night. I rummaged through some loot for a bit before I was jumped by three bounty hunters. Noticed I had no weapons on my back and frantically started sorting through my new loot hoping to find at least a rusty dagger. Found something I didn't expect in there, a shovel. I think it was 8-12 damage and comical enough, may try a broom next.

There should be a chest outside the compound(near those two guards) with all your weapons in it.

I've died too many times from "lack of reflexes" to ever consider insane.

Yes I think I just clicked the guard and got it back, I simply forgot to take the gear back after leaving, however it ended up to be a fun little move.

I finally got this game installed and working, and when I hit new game the scenes start lagging horribly. Now I'm sad. This is why I don't play PC games on my piece of **** computer....

You, sir are a brave man. You die once on insane, and you can't reload. New game time.

[Loomies]

I hate how PC gamers are hypocrites. Witcher 2 is "consolized" to death but you dont see the troll reviews on megacritics.

[Romantiq]

If you live in states or Canada then you can go buy best PC they have in costco or bestbuy. Play Witcher 2 and then return the PC back in 15 or what is it 30 days. ))))

Holy sh!t that's awesome!

BTW, what difficulty are you playing on, honey?

Normal is kicking my ass at times, dear 

@the troll above Ali's post.
There's a difference between streamlining done correctly, and consolfication (DA2). ME2 did a good job at streamlining, although I missed some of the rpg elements they took out, still a fun game.
