Does anyone have any early-level (e.g. the very first tutorial) strategies aside from kiting and rolling? It's really breaking up the flow and fun of combat. I'm playing on Normal and I'm at a part in a relatively small courtyard with about six or seven enemies.

Trap sign and take a few steps back to lure the enemies, stunning bombs, don´t leave your back exposed (200% damage taken), and if you are in the ballista courtyard let them come to you instead of rushing and you´ll fight half of them at a time.

Destructoid has their own review up. While I have not played the game yet, I generally agree with his reviews so far. Not that I should care yet, I still havn't finished the first witcher.

Sounds about the same as my friend's review. He doesn't smash the game all the way down. But it seems like he doesn't like a game that has steeper learning curve. I can understand that. I bought Demon's Souls today and it's extremely unforgiving game! 

...But I like it! Same goes with Ninja Gaiden. I had trouble with the game first, but once I got into controls I breezed trough the game. It's all just matter of being patient and learning the game. Still, I understand why most of my friends hate Ninja Gaiden games and some people are shun away from Demon's Souls.

Heh, Destructoid+Jim Sterling = how to goad everyone into a flamewar.

Jim's review is just there to troll people into a fight. He give low score to good games and high score to bad games. Its his way, and i personally dont like him for it. xD

He dosnt like PC in general either, which make it even more hilarious that he is reviewing a PC only game.

Nah, my first impression of TW2 is 6/10 game too, the lousy control almost kills this game for me, but it gets better from ACT2, to be honest, if BG2 is 9.5/10 game, TW2 is 8.5/10 at most

[Gvaz]

Some reason after beating the game I agree with Jim's review about a few things, but co.ck my eyebrows at other things simply because they never happened. Furthermore, the complaints he had didn't impact me much at all, and it was exactly what I wanted.

The complaints in general can most likely be fixed, seeing how they did so for TW1 with the EE version, so I have good faith.

still a 4/5 or a 4.5/5 though.

I just saw the info about the 1.1 patch and wondered what the issues are with Crossfire. I have two 5850 cards and cannot see any problems. I was convinced that CF wouldn't work, but decided to test it anyway with GPU-Z. I started two instances of that utility (one for each GPU) and looked at the their activity. The results were odd. It appears that there was an equal amount of activity. I was surprised by that, because as far as I know there isn't any support for CF in the profiles.

Anyone know what the issues are supposed to be?

The magic path just owns, 6 vigor bars, and the adrenaline sign is absolutely ridiculous.

[Speakeasy13]

The control is gawdawful. Hell, it's unplayable. I hope it's not meant to be this way, rather than a bug or a decision overlook. Anyhow a patch is coming up later today, let's see if this is one of the problems they will fix. If not, then as much as I'm hooked into the story, I'm gonna have to put it aside. This issue alone makes TW2 a broken game. And I wouldn't call DA2 a broken game.

DA2 isn't broken? How about the Isabela/Sebastian bug. That's game-breaking. Without the save game editor and a mod I wouldn't be able to finish DA2 at all.

[Maverick827]

Yeah, I'm noticing some control problems even early on. Either my signs aren't targeting who I think they should be, or Geralt just isn't responding as fast as my keystrokes are. DA2 wasn't lightning quick either, though it was less noticeable due to the group dynamic: "C'mon Fenris, get out of there! Bah, I guess I'll have to blow a heal early, you emo elf."

Signs do have a bit of a "casting time". Maybe a bit less than a second. You also have to wait until you have finished rolling from a dodge. I'm pretty sure this was deliberate.

[Nerevar-as]

You must finish a movement before Geralt executes the next. What I don´t get is why some people think that´s a problem. Casting (which requires a especific sign) in the middle of a swing or roll would look stupid to me, and Geralt´s movements are fast, unlike the mage stafff twirls from DA2 (not looking for war, just first example I can think about).

[_Aine_]

There is not immediate response to certain things, casting signs being one of them. Movement also. Sometimes you have to re-hit the movement keys in order to restart movement after you cast a sign or whatnot. *That* is kind of annoying, but not game breaking for me.

[Gvaz]

The targetting is fine, you know the targeting is based on who you position in the camera if you don't use ALT to lock on?

I never had an issue.

And I have literally just finished my playthrough of the game. I am spent! Lovely game. Jazz gives two thumbs up. Went with a primarily alchemy build, purely for the theme and cause I love alchemy, with a bit of other abilties.

Must say I don't get the complaints about the ending. Sure it leaves many things unresolved but it's not the cliffhanger people make it out to be. The Witcher world is one where things are not nicely tied up at the end, and having read a couple of the books it actually fits in with the way they end too. Then again, maybe I just lucked out on the ending I got as opposed to others who got other endings.

Anyway, aside from issues with targetting that went away once you get quen powered up and the sword ability that lets you hit multiple people at once (gotta love that one), I didn't encounter many problems, and once I got the hang of it I liked, nay loved the combat system. And it's gone midnight so I'm off to bed and then work in the morning, but next playthrough already planned!

Like someone wrote in response to his poor review, he complains about:

*The game is hard

*The game doesn't hold your hand

*The game tells him what he must get/do to complete it, it just doesn't show exactly how or where.

*You might have to actually read the manual to understand some parts of the gameplay early on

*the choices you make are often not directly bad or good, it is hard to see whose the real villain.

I see the same complaints here as well. People are too used to easy, simplified games and expect someone to hold their hand and guide them. It's a lot easier to whine and call combat broken / imbalanced rather than admitting that "I am simply a bad player".

World of Warcraft forums are full of people like that. The result? Constant "dumbing down" of dungeons / gameplay / pvp aspects to suit and appease the weak whiners.

As for this Jim fellow, it appears that he didn't even beat the game because he needed someone to hold his dick and wrote the first "controversial" review so that people go there and register to post. Ad profit trap.

PS: I found combat challenging at first too when I started on Normal but now I proud to say that I mastered it. How?! Because I was patient and I researched notes that were provided. Patience is a virtue.

I finished the game last night and I really enjoyed it. I guess with the official site not having forums, I'll ask here. I'm not sure how much of a spoiler this is so

SPOILER

I ended up siding with Saskia, and at the end you have a chat with her and she says something like "you will always be a welcome guest, and I emphasis guest". Did I miss something? Seemed a little weird.

END SPOILER

SPOILERS AHOY!!!!
I got that too, I guess she knows just how much trouble you'll bring though I thought it was a bit odd too.  Just hoping that she isn't still being influenced or that the dagger actually did something other than what we planned...

[HoonDing]

I don't know how it is on higher difficulies, but on Normal Quen and to a lesser extent, Yrden, are simply broken. Aard & Igni are useless in comparison.

Funny how CD Projekt inverted the power of signs in comparison to the first game.

What they really did well, though, is the use of Axii in dialogue. It's also pretty useful on occasion to use on a mini-boss in a mob of enemies.

I expect them to be nerfed in a patch.

[panzerwzh]

Haters gonna hate.
TW2 is my GOTY for 2011, I hope Bioware learn as much as they could before the release of ME3.

Igni is good (very good in fact) if you specialise in magic. Once you get enough vigour and start generating adrenaline you can chew through packs of opponents with it and in fact you no longer need or even want to use Quen much. But yeah Quen seems to be essential to the game otherwise. I think Yrden is pretty well balanced.
