The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

This game would be great if it booted. I even bought this on Steam AND GOG. Tech Support said it was a Windows 11 issue. But I tried it before with Win10. I thought GOG was about bringing games to modern platforms? Its too bad. I played one and three and enjoyed both. Out of order I know but its frustrating.

Regardless of temporary inability to play this games (release date is only 2 days away!!) I am sure that this is a TRUE MASTERPIECE! If this game turns out to be bad (impossible) I am a RETARTD then) Love u CD project!

I died about 12-15 times in the prologue alone. I have played computer games for 35 years, and feel I'm pretty good. I played on normal setting, and the controls were of such poor quality, I felt like moving in syrup. Also the Quick Time nonsense with the dragon made no sense, and pulled me out of the atmosphere. I felt I was stuck in a Dragon's Lair-clone with unfair near-impossible tasks. I have tried two times to get into this game, but after playing Witcher 3 for about 100 hours, this is too frustrating to the point of being unplayable. Shame.

I am giving up early in the tutorial, even before I have had a chance to try the famously poor combat mechanics. - Game started with a film scene that was in incredibly poor taste. I have a strong stomach when it comes to actual bloody accidents in real life. But I don't get the point of exaggerated gore in film or games, and this was just cringey. - Even with maximum gamma, I can barely make out anything on the screen in the tutorial (which plays at night). With default settings, I was practically blind even right next to a lamp. A lot of people have this problem; apparently it's a monitor incompatibility specific to this game. (Similar problems with The Witcher 3.) - So far, it's mostly a stupid walking simulator, and I am pretty sure it's not just the tutorial. Essentially, you get instructions where to walk (indicated on the minimap instead of making it a challenge to find) and what to pick up. The difficulty is in actually getting the stupid controls to make the Witcher move in the desired direction while also having to control the camera with the mouse. - Then there was this weird 'medallion' mechanism for highlighting relevant herbs. Like quests, it's just a "go here and do the default action" thing, but the effect is temporary, and when you are too slow (due to looking in the wrong direction at first or fighting against the controls) or need several types of herbs, you must wait before you can do it again. Ridiculous. This game seems to be a combination of walking simulator, clicker game and combat simulator (which I have not seen yet), with ridiculous gore for flavor. At least I got it cheap, and it helped me prevent another mistake: buying The Witcher 3. Based on my experience, I now filtered Steam Reviews for the latter by negative, sorted by time (important!), and found that that game has very similar problems that make its obvious accomplishments completely useless to players like me.
