Not sure if anyone mentioned this already, anyway latest The Witcher 2 review:

http://www.escapistm...of-Kings-Review

It got a 3.5 out of 5. It's the same reviewer who gave Dragon Age 2 a 5 out of 5. That will teach CDProjekt to not recycle environments and make button pressing more awesome.

Lol. He admits that he gave it a low score because he is a terrible player.

The thing that confuses me the most is these reviewers act as though they weren't given a game manual or journal tutorial to explain everything they complained about. It's disappointing as hell that we've reached a point where having to read something to learn how to play the game is considered an inconvenience.

He expected someone to hold his dick and guide him.




Not meant to offend anyone who found the game hard, but instead of crying and blaming the developers for "uneven" difficulty - adapted, set the settings right and READ. 

Like I wrote earlier, world of warcraft forums are full of people like that that is why the game is being constantly dumbed down (no more intercept for warriors, no skill to play hunter,..etc), due to massive QQ on forums.

It's not like you have to be a pro player to beat Witcher 2. You have everything at your disposal to adjust your gameplay and difficulty settings.

The reviewer didn't have enough sense to adjust the difficulty down? Horrible excuse to lower a score. There is no shame in going easy considering the storyline is best reason to finish the game.

Unfortunately people would rather b**** then lower the difficulty.

I played most of the game on easy and I am not ashamed of it at all. It is a difficult game.

It would wound their prides. XD

But to be honest, I have found a spot for difficult games. I am playing Demon's Souls atm, at the second boss as we speak. He seemed impossible at first. Courtyard's walls full of archers and HUGE steel-covered knight with a shield size of a tower and powerful energy beams shooting lance in other hand. I felt so screwed at first, died pretty fast. But, even when I was tossed back at the start of the second "area" I kept going and found a way to defeat the boss.

So I think Witcher 2 might just be right at my alley. As long as controls don't get in the way, difficult game isn't a problem.

By the way, heard a rumour this game might be comming for Xbox360, I hope so. Would save me money.

This might seem obvious to some, but the game appeared quite oversaturated in several areas to me and it was seriously bothering me. The skin tone for most NPCs was orange like the Imperials in Oblivion.

After reducing the brightness and adjusting the gamma level, now the colors look absolutely perfect. I believe the default brightness and gamma were way off. (at least for my laptop display as well as my 1080p projector)

For example, the interior of the inn in Flotsam now looks very close to the early screenshots released a few months ago, much darker, with naturalistic colors and directional lighting from the candles. I find that I still have to adjust a bit when switching from interior to exterior scenes to get the optimum visuals.

Right now I am stuck at the Letho fight. I just can't do enough damage to him to compensate for the rate of damage he does to me. But then I went into the fight flat footed without any potions or oils applied. I can't wait for 9 GB steam patch to hurry up and finish. It's been over a day and it's still downloading. GOG patch system is way better Steam's but I just learned that lesson.

In Act 1? I managed to get him by potting up on Tawny owl and Swallow (for more regn to compensate for his dmge). But the basic tactic I used was Quen/Aard.

Basically you have to dodge alot, Letho's attacks are slow and should be easy to dodge away and land 1-2 strong strikes from behind. Right in his casting of Quen, you use Aard to interrupt and land more blows. Use your own Quen only if he manages up his own Quen, then wait it out and resume attacking.

run around avoiding his attacks, then when his shield is down do aard/fast/strong/strong then repeat until the fight  is over. that's it.

Wow. I'm a very casual (ie Easy mode or get out) player and I didn't have nearly the trouble he had figuring the game out. Also the options we are allowed to select while Geralt's being interviewed are listed TOP DOWN the same way we're taught to read at a young age. Therefore it was obvious that I should start at the top of the list and work down. The ability to select different options was apparently meant for people on their second or better play-through. However, there's always someone who will go against common sense, and then flame the developer for their bad experience.

Wait, you're dismissing this review because the  guy didn't choose the "right" options?  WTH?

The Destructoid review more described my impression of the game, but y'all really need to stop with the smug "if you don't like it you just suck" thing.  If the reviewer always plays on Normal, the better to compare it to other games.  I played the prologue on Easy and still thought it was pointlessly tedious and poorly laid out.

Too true. I've been called so many names online because I don't care to play on the harder difficulties.

I play a game to play a game, not to quit in frustration.

[FlintlockJazz]

Okay I just finished Act 1 on my second playthrough and started Act 2 tonight, and I gotta say, Roche's ending to the first act answers so many questions to questions I didn't even know existed in the Iorveth playthrough. Things already seem to playing out completely different in Act 2 than they did the first time.

**SPOILERS**
The elf...my god...the bastard did that? What kind of sick motherplougher was he? And the old granny charging me with a knife was just hilarious. Poor Seherim.

No problem with you. The problem is people who complain harder difficulties are too hard. Witcher 2 normal is probably what normal was a few years ago, at least on RPGs (playing on Hard, die often but nothing I can´t deal with so far). Now normal is often too easy for some of us. TW2 is quite a welcome change, if I don´t use the abilities the game gives me and don´t pay atention I die. In Assassin´s Creed 2 for instance I don´t think I died 3 times fighting as counter, dodge or spamming fast attacks worked 99% of times.

Is there already a mod that removes Blocking requiring vigor?

Which means you thought it was too difficult. Just slog through the prologue on easy ( which is actually quite hard), put some points in vigor and blocking, and then enjoy the game. The rest actually is easy.

The Destructoid review is pure trash; blatant bias. Other reviews, even some of the critical ones, I can agree with.

No, I thought it was tedious and un-fun.  The difficulty adds to the tedium, but there's a difference.  I don't play things that aren't fun.  Life is too short.

The Destructoid review resonated with my impressions on a number of points, gave both positives and negatives and was well written.

Obviously, no game can be fun to everyone. And it goes beyond details like blocking or even difficulty, it could be the entire fundamental design. Which is more about taste than anything else.

I personally find DA:O style of combat very fun, even though it was criticized. I enjoy the gameplay of ME1 and 2 a lot. And I also really like TW1 gameplay. But, out of all these, I loved TW2's combat the most and I do not remember a game being as challenging and fun at the same time (was playing on hard). So I am pretty flexible when it comes to combat system and I can enjoy a wide variety. Some people can't and that's perfectly understandable.

I do not think however that someone who can't like the game style should review the game in a professional way. It should really be reviewed by someone who likes action-RPGs and can thus judge them based on quality and not fundamental design.

Very well put! I agree, I liked DAO/ME1/ME2 and TW1's gameplay. And I love TW2's. Its a bit perplexing when people say hack and slash, and twitch. Imho, there is a lot more to the combat than that. Its also really fun, especially when you figure out how to take certain enemies, whether using lures, traps, bombs and signs.

Witcher 2 Gamespot graphics comparison <---- drool.

[Gvaz]

none of those games are twitch. FPS is twitch, Quake is twitch

[Anathemic]

Just finished through Act 2. Man defending Vergen with Zoltan, Saskia, and Ioverth was just pure awesome.

Henselt can suck it. What really stuck me was Phillipa's and Dethmold's duel of teleportation in the background, really added the feel to it.

Combat mod tweak. For balance. Check it out, quite interesting.
