The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

This game is pretty god damn awesome =) PC Gaming 4 Life! Thank you for making this a PC game love you guys.

I went with digital download for the first time because of the previous reviews, price decrease and the ability to play immediately instead of waiting for the game to come to my town (in the High Arctic). Game: So far, it has a great story line but I am having problems with graphics. Have not heard back from anyone on my request for assistance. Download: Well, the downloader worked no problem on my windows XP machine. No problems at all. However, that is a totally different story on my Windows 7 machine. I still do not have it on this machine. Redownloaded the downloader, redownloaded the game, everything. Nothing worked. Sent 3 requests for assistance but no response as of yet and that was on the 17th. I know that with a new game, all takes time, however, I have never had problems like this prior. GoG. I am sure you are a great company and you care, however, you do not make it easy to find assistance via searches nor do you respond to assistance (in my case, anyway). Give the game a 4.0 out of 5 and GOG a 2.0 out of 5.

I started with Witcher 1 and bought Wichter 2, because I realy enjoyed #1. #2 is a completely different experience and much to the worse so in comparison to #1. What I hate most - beside a troublesome combat system and an absolutely foolish hoarding of enemies - is, that one is constantly told to to this and to that - endlessly. There is no enjoying the great graphics or leisurly walking the surroundings - one task follows the other in a sequential way and the combat sessions seem to be the main reason for the game and not the story itself. Fighting is mostly against many enemies at once and the combat system is akward. One is constantly reloading and trying anew. I have played this kind of games since many years and I'm really pissed of at the difference between this "sequel" and #1. This is not the game one expects if one has played #1 - instead it is something quite different. I feel cheated by the makers of this follow up.

Has bugged quests that can't be completed. I gave up half way through chapter 1. Not a fan of running back and forth for 2 hours, only to find I've been chasing a bugged quest. Will be avoiding everything these guys make, in the future.

For being this being heralded as an amazing must play game, I'm unimpressed by the combat. It's like a poor combination of Batman Arkham series and a Soulsborne game but with horribly fluidity. Geralt is incredibly frail and weak and redshirts can seem to have no problem handling him in a fight and has to stop to meditate to drink a potion to try to get more health regen? Come on. For being an amazing swordsman he has to stay still while blocking/parrying. The traps and other usable items hurt the PC which is a poor design choice as well. The spell system of this word does this and this word does this should have some sort of help text to let you know what it does after the tutorial instead of having to memorize it that early on. All in all I could only slog about 45 minutes into this game. It's very unfun and I could care less about the story as it never seemed like it was that impressive to begin with. It seems people are more in love with the company itself and how it actually has good business practices.
