Pecan you even provide a screenshot showing off "bad graphics"?

I'm playing the 360 version.

Well, that explains why the visuals are so "bad" - you're playing on 7 year old hardware, what did you expect?

Bullsh!t, Halo 1 had better graphics than TW2, and that is for the FIRST XBox, not the 360.

We are way beyond the time when hardware was limiting, nowadays it is the art style that can be the problem.

Yeah, right.

Not everyone likes this game, you know. Just my honest opinion.

For someone who disliskes the game I find it utterly hillarious how you still feel the urge to come back here(as seen during the course of past weeks) and spout your flamebait, then try to cover it up with "bad english" and "honest opinion".

Short sentences filled with "s**t", "Polish garbage" and some smileys from Madfanboy are now considered an "honest opinion"?


Just don't be surprised when someone jumps down your throat after you backpedal like this. At least man up and admit you were trolling back there.

Everyone has a right to post their opinion and we can easily ignore the posts that are clearly not worth our time.


As for TW2 graphics on 360. I found it the best looking game on that console that I've ever played. In fact, I thought it looked equal to ME3 on PC. Don't think this can be debated. Art style and design can.

That is more because of ME3 being bad graphically.

Indeed. I don't see anything wrong with the 360 graphics. Pretty impressive for an 7 years old hardware.

Yea me neither, it looks really good for me. But eh, there's no accounting for tastes I guess, as Letho would say.

Looking forward to see if you'll understand the story PD

[Mercannis]

Would be nice if we could get an expansion where we find out what happened to Lambert, Ezekiel and Vesemir. I would pay for a stand alone expac or DLC that let you play as one of the other Witchers.

It's not the graphics that bothered me about this game, but the actiony combat system and lack of a character creator. Didn't feel much like an RPG to me, but being stuck playing a pre-set character will do that.

[Dreadstruck]

One thing I was wondering about Letho's design.
While he is badass and all, I was thinking if his looks could also work without those ridiculous steroids?

I know the devs wanted a unique antagonist but to me it feels like they were pushing for a new "Leo Bonhart" a bit too much, which means exaggerated(and sometimes deceiving) appearance.

Leo - Head hunter, old, excessively skinny, dead fish-like eyes, but killed 3 witchers during his lifetime. One of the main antagonists in the books.
Letho - Witcher, excessively big, kingslayer - self explanatory. One of the main antagonists in the game.

If you want to abide by the strictest definition of an RPG, then not a singe bioware game is an RPG. You are still a character with a set role and a set purpose in the story. Ironically games like Skyrim would be closer to the classic definition of RPG than Bioware games.

TW2 is a story driven game, which will thus require a set protagonist. It takes what Bioware does further sure, but they are in the same mold / school of thought if we can call it that. Ergo that story takes precedent over pure role playing.

Now I personally believe that Bioware's middle ground between blank PC and set (IE, Shepard and Hawke) is not good. It feels awkward, never gets me immersed and I never cared about this type of PC. The only PC of that type that I loved was Michael Thorton in alpha Protocol (he's in fact my favorite protagonist), but only because of what I can do with him, I nevber cared aobut him as a person. 

Which is why I can appreciate and vastly prefer a set protagonist, like Adam Jensen and Geralt. I care about them as people, especially Geralt. And knowing that I am playing their story, I can be fully immersed in it while still having a sizeable amount of control in terms of their perspectives, beliefs and motivations.

If you want to ascribe a literal definition to RPG, then in that sense, I am playing the role of Geralt.

Geee, I know that.

While you can decide for yourself and agree with him, the game still sorta pushes you towards the final fight with him. But I won't lie, I spared him the first time.

i agree, letho is a deep character but his looks kinda distract me as well.

[KnightofPhoenix]

From the perspective of someone who did not read the books, Letho's appearance was very effective. My first impression when I saw him in the previews was "great, a brute villain who is probably an idiot."
Letho slapping my first impressions away was a very good moment. It's good to have antagonists that are unpredictable like that.

Now yea the bicep is huuuuge. I think they shrank them for the CGI. But everything considered, based on how effective it was in my case, I like Letho's model quite a bit.

Besides the l, e and o in their names, I don´t see the similarities, even taken as opposites. Bonhart was more or less a psycho, with zero redeeming qualities. I tend to think of him as Boba Fett in the Witcher setting, back when Fett was mysterious and not an antihero. I also agree with Yenn´s version of how he killed three Witchers (poison, asleep, or backstabbing). He was taken by a 16 year old after all who while a great fighter, had no enhancements.

If anything, Letho´s looks make me understimate his intelligence.

[Tirigon]

I am still in act 1, so I havent experienced any dialogue with Letho or anything of the likes. I judge purely on the looks:

I found Letho an impressive opponent. Having him any less brute, I would be pissed that he can defeat Geralt.
If your player character is forced to lose, that always sucks. But if you must, for story reasons, then it better be a cool, big badass like Letho and not some skinny sucker (off topic, but kinda related: That is also why I hate ME3's Kai Leng, he looks way too weak).

Simmer down there, pardner. I was not comparing their personalities, but the exaggerated and first-look deceiving appearance.

As for Leo, even though I also have my doubts about those medallions, it still bothers me how he recognized Ciri's Kaer Morhen fighting style and bested it as well.

LOL! That is because you are used to playin bioware games which are more like the sims dress up and are tailored towards casual gamers. I don't expect many casual gamers to keep focused on the story and politics of TW2. DA2 is much more FLASHY BANG BANG actiony tripe. The witcher 2 has a gd combat system which is challenging. Unless of course you play it on easy like casual gamers do. Do you want a game with weapons that is not actiony. Please tell me how to accomplish that.

Agreed. And when Letho himself takes advantage of his looks in the game and fools the people there as well, dayum do I get impressed.

Judging an opponent by his specific looks and beating you, sure you can hate on that, but having an opponent defeating you, simply b/c the "plot dictates", without having a deeper meaning than that, is much worse imo.

I dont think the Witcher 2 has a good combat system. In fact, imo it is the weakest part of the game.

You don't know what an RPG is obviously. The majority of good RPG's start with character creation which should be a joint effort between the player and the person running the game.
