Witcher 2. i am replaying it for the 4th time since it launched and you know what? im each playthrough has been different, and the new content they have added is great. has kept it fresh. Play that game. its great.Â
That 'timing your clicks' combat of the Witcher 1 was pretty terrible. Haven't played 2 yet, but I heard it being ripped on alot for the over-reliance of rolling around on the ground during combat.

you do have to roll a lot at first, but that can be avoided if you use all your tools. bombs, all five sign powers, traps, throwing knives, blocking, rolling. potions. oils. They give you a huge amount of tools to use. once you learn to combine all of them in an effective way, that combat really sings.
Yeah, The Witcher 2 is one of the coolest games ever. I am replaying it at the moment... Wanted to choose Rouche's path, but couldn't, went with the elves again... :)))))Ameliahunter1
dude! that entire game changes if you choose roches path! Its like a completely new set of quests and areas. man, looks like you are going to have to play it again. haha.
Completely agree. Its fantastic. Its the game for people who thought mass effect wasnt a deep enough experience. it out classes basically every modern story driven rpg in every way. Its smart, funny, challenging, thoughtful and beautiful.
I have been replaying it with one of my buddies (forth time for me, first time for him) and man, seeing that game again and experiencing a fresh perspective on the witcher 2 vicariously though him has only solidified that game to me as one of the best this generation. Its has one of the most believable worlds in a game, right up there with the Half life universe and and bioshock. The first encounter we had with the endrega (it was the first time we entered the forest outside flotsam) was incredible and terrifying. My friend andrew say the endrega, and then looked flotsam's walls behind us and was like "oh my god, that is why those walls are so tall and have spikes on them..." to which i replied "lol yeah." Everything in the witcher 2 fits together so well. Im not saying its perfect, im just saying its the best at almost everything it does.
I think they were trying to make lot less exaggerated characters that are popular in Japan. In the West, however, we have a bit of an obsession with realism. :) Kjranu
really? I would argue that the game itself is just as over the top as the orginal devil may cry games, it just happens to be more self aware. Idk, as a complete outsider to the devil may cry series, i actually appreciate what ninja theory did with that game. its rediculous crazy fun. as for the character design, my girlfriend was next to me while i was playing the demo she looked up and said " who's he? hes pretty. i like this game" so maybe that design appeals to a new demographic? lol.
