The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

i have this for the xbox 360, i played a bit of it in my pc. my monitor resolution and aspect ratio is not supported 21:9 and 2560x1080. This game looks better than skyrim it just needs a bit more updates for new monitors

i had critical problems to launch the game. a few months later i installed it and tried again. voilla it works no almost flawlessly. im at the beginning of the first lvl, so i cant tell you much about the game, but it looks great and the introduction-video will blow you away :)

I loved the original Witcher, and maybe my expectations were too high. Although this installment is visually spectacular and much more polished, I never quite felt immersed. The skill tree is a weak point, and the locations lacked character. Stealth scenes felt unecessarily irritating. In the original I wanted to explore every corner, and I didn't connect in the same way in this release. Nevertheless, I heartity recommend both games, but don't skip the original.

The story may seem a bit complicated at first, and the beginning tutorial terrible, but it's only made that way because it will make you want to delve deeper into the story and figuring things out on your own. Very little hand-holding in fighting style, and how you intend to defeat bosses and such. Not completely open world, but definitely shouldn't be because the game is heavily story driven (even more than skyrim) and that would sort of take away from the plot. If you play this game, totally take your time to understand whats going on and do some side quests, (which help you level up and train to keep up with fighting in the main story). The third chapter was too short imo, and I wish they had made it longer, like chapter 2.

I don't have much to say about the details of this game that hasn't been posted on here already. The story is one of the best in this medium, the choices have real weight but don't bog you down with unnecessary meters or a worthless morality system (they feel very natural and true to who Geralt is, if that makes sense), the graphics are unbelievably rich, organic and beautiful, the audio is fantastic from top to bottom, and the gameplay is challenging and just plain fun (with some room for improvement). It's clear that a lot of love and effort went into this game. My only qualms with it are that the gamepad control scheme stinks and is difficult to remap (the 360 version is great, why not this one?), graphics/control options are only accessible in the launcher, and the combat, while still thoroughly enjoyable, isn't as precise as what a challenging game should have (which they're changing in the Witcher 3). I've owned this game since 2012 (the xbox 360 version first, later PC) and I've probably played through it at least 10 or 15 times, but I still find new details each time. Typically story-driven games don't have much replay value, but I think this one has loads of it. This game resonates with me in a way that very few do, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's certainly not perfect, but it's one of the best games I've ever played and definitely one of my favorites.
