I'm laughing as I remember that Gop said that they changed the combat mechanics because they thought TW1's combat was too hardcore lol.

Personally I had no problems with the original Witcher's combat. I guess most players just prefer an Action RPG style of combat to one where they just can handle everything with the mouse.^_^

You should report your experiences on the official forums. CDP may be able use the feedback to fine-tune the combat somewhat, if not through patches, then at least in expansions and sequels.

If it helps, I remember one of the previews remarking how combat early on in the game had a number of barriers that were gradually overcome by picking certain skills in the swordsman skill tree. For example there's a skill that allows 360deg parrying, so that Geralt won't get screwed when he's surrounded by a group.


In a single player RPG where your only controlling one character   (as opposed to a party based tactical rpg), i would think making the combat more action orientated is a good idea.  Instead of that terrible timing your clicks method the first game used.

I'm actually interested in the Witcher2 now because the combat was the worst part of the first game, imo.  My prefrence is always a more tactical party based game (like Baldurs Gate),  but i can also enjoy a action RPG, if done right and is not a bore like Oblivion, say.  (just talking about how the combat is done now)




Most definiately agree. The timing based attacks of the first game, completely turned me off. I don't mind a more action intensive combat model, just as long as it doesn't feel tedious. TW1 for me, felt very tedious.

I'd perfer to play it first before comparing the two. Although both titles obviously had very different goals to begin with so I would hope people take that into consideration.

Having not played either game so far(awaiting delivery for one, awaiting a special edition pack inclusive of all DLC for the other) I'm in no position to judge, perhaps this first English review will help.

I've played through the prologue now and I am in total awe. I have never experienced anything like this game. This is absolutely phenomenal, and I think this completely shames BioWare's products om every way - even in terms of dialogue. Even the VO is sublime. I'm trying hard to find words to describe the game but failing. This game NEEDS to be played by anyone who has any sense of appreciation for the medium. Fantastic! Thank you CD Project RED! :)

I'm assuming this would be good using a control pad then ?

This question is for ppl that actually use both for gaming (k&m and pads depending on the game)

Not for all the pc ppl that use k&m for everything.

At the least, the Witcher 2 certainly is gonna have more replay value than DA2, given that the cities where Act 2 and 3 take place will differ based on Geralt's choices.

Haven't finished the game yet, you will have to wait until we play the game before you have an answer.

I can relate. It's been so long since I've played an RPG of this quality that I had pretty much forgotten what they were like.

It's been mentioned in multiple previews.

http://www.g4tv.com/...C-2011-Preview/

The game has 16 endings, and it's possible to bypass/miss entire
sections of the game, encouraging players to go back multiple times to
explore the world and its riches.


http://www.rockpaper...-the-witcher-2/

Linearity: The game opens up significantly and has lots of variation
based on the choices you make. As we’ve mentioned in previous demos,
there are entire locations/portions of the game you will NOT see on your
first play through. And, again, there are ultimately 16 different
endings/end states based on your choices and actions.


http://www.videogame...eview-2901.html

One of the two possible starting areas for the game's second chapter -
depending on what choices you make, it's possible to complete the entire
game without even seeing this major area

Ugh! Anyone else having issues with the savegame import? I for the love of god just can't get TW2 to recognize my save file, even though it's already in the correct folder according to FAQ. <_<


i had to go back into the witcher EE and save my game in the ice plains to get it to recognize it as my last save file was just before all of that

Yeah, it's a bit early to say for sure (I just started chapter 1) but early indications for me are that DA2 doesn't even compare.

Romance is actually a significant element in the game; however it's mature romance, with a fair bit of sex and nudity, that may be a turn-off for some.

And no, you don't get to choose your class. You play an existing character with an existing skillset, like in Japanese-style RPGs. However you can specialise his style of combat(magic-using swordsman, plain swordsman or alchemy-using swordsman) a great deal.

What nobody bashes the game?. I m gonna cry now.


I can think of a couple things, only played for a couple hours though.

The biggest one by far is the targeting, of both enemies and things as simple as looting and opening doors.  Have to adjust Geralt's position quite a bit just to examine a poster.

The livestream and I were persistently amused at the timing of the hints in the tutorial.  On several occasions they literally told me how to do something after I did it, such as aiming the ballista.

And Triss's English VA is still terrible.  Yes, I know about Polish, but localization is something worth evaluating.

My G35 Headset is not compatible with the game so I can't "narrate" my playthrough to the livestream, apparently uninstalling the Logitech drivers works around this, but its still annoying.

And I was surprised by the sudden - at least it seemed to me - introduction of timed dialogue responses.  I was putting in some eyedrops when I ran into an elf early on, and missed the response I wanted to use.

Finally, and this is a minor quibble, I have "Hard QTE Enabled" and... there's nothing hard about them.  Granted, I played Indigo Prophecy.

But I'm in Flotsam and so far I don't have much bad to say about it.  I didn't follow development purposefully as I wanted to go in relatively blind.

Normal. I'm getting my ass kicked. I have died probably 15 times already and I'm on the prologue. I don't know, I must be doing something wrong, but from what I'm seeing, it isn't intuitive enough. Switching enemies is troublesome, blocking and using signs is weird, it seems that Geralt must be completely still to do it, i.e., if you're holding another command it won't work, and I'm trying to think it like Batman AA but Geralt's animation, the blocking and switching enemies just don't "go".

I'm starting to get better through repetition and cheap tactics, but it's been painful. Not much fun in it yet.

Yeah, it's only been like 30 minutes, but I'm not enjoying this aspect of the game. First impression is that the mini-games and combat have gone from fun and complex to hard and button-mashing, and the interface is clunky and overly busy in comparison to TW1. I can't seem to affect the armwrestling minigame at all.

The manual is vague crap, there's no key configuration screen that I've found, the interesting rhythm-based gameplay gimmicks have been replaced by a "click to make things die" sort of deal... This is... certainly not what I was envisioning from the sequel.

The graphics are beautiful, the game runs well, and I'm liking the story... but the gameplay itself is annoying me greatly. I don't know why the hell they didn't make it more similar to TW1 in interface design, at least.

I hope I'll get used to it and change my mind, but at the moment I'm flatly unimpressed.

Your main character is static so you don't get 'classes', although you can customize your character any way you want within the skill system (it is an RPG after all).

You can become a master alchemist/magician, but in the end it will all just augment the primary component of the game, swordplay.

You definitely get romances as well :D

EDIT: Man, you guys are a lot quicker on the draw then me :P

Metacritic should really review their scoring mechanic. It's sad that all those 0s are from these forums from same butt hurt people you've probably seen that praise DA2 like its the best thing in the world and call PC players elderly farts. :D

It's worse than WoW trade chat here sometimes.
