Ведьмак 2: Убийцы королей

I was really enjoying the game at first until I got about half way through, then the game just falls apart. The quests get extremely repetitive and randomly scale up in difficulty. You can have a difficult game but don't just randomly throw the player into a cave full of 80 enemies and have all of them attack the player at once. Then there's the potion system.. Who thought this was a good idea? The game literally expects you to be able to see the future in order to use any of the potions properly. You have to drink various different types of potions BEFORE you enter a battle. How do you know a battles coming up? You don't. How do you know what type of enemy's your going to face? You don't. How you know what type of potion you should drink in order to properly deal with the enemy? You don't. I guess they expect you to save every five seconds and then reload your game once you know what's coming up next, which is complete bull. Then there's the ending. It was incredibly abrupt. I thought the game was just getting started and then all of the sudden the credits rolled. Without spoiling anything you get to an area that's completely unfinished, get an extremely overpowered set of armor for free and then just slaughter a ton of enemy's that where incredibly hard to kill only 10 minutes ago, kill one of the easiest boss's in the history of gaming and the credits roll. I don't even want to mention the consolized inventory or the quick time events.

Во первых, очень выжно: перед прохождением TW3:WH стоит пройти 2-ую часть иначе выпадает ощутимая часть контента. К тому же в The Witcher 2 вы не разочаруетесь. У игры хороший саундтрек и сюжет: множество книжных персонажей и разнообразные концовки. К минусам можно отнести можно отнести боевую систему (в принципе нормально, но есть крупные недочеты) , бесит QTE (хотя это можно упростить) и сайд-квесты: не из самых интересных. Итог. Игра хороша, к прохождению рекомендуется. Уж не скупитесь перед прохждением 3-ей части.

Где. Мои. Достижения. А?

Graphics - Huge jump up from TW1 in particular with vastly improved character models and animations, something a bit strange about the lighting or colour palette can't quite put my figure on I didn't particularly like though. Ran fine for me no major bugs or crashes to report. Story - Focused on politics and intrigue departing a bit from the Witcher's path narrative, again avoids clear villains and consequence free decisions with few right or wrong decisions just actions and consequences. Didn't quite enjoy the central story thread and antagonist as much as the first game. One major branching story I was happy with my choice, found the main companion and their growth along with your actions brilliantly done and really enjoyed the location and themes explored in chapter 2. Gameplay - Departing from the rhythm based combat of the TW1 for a more generic third person action combat system. Found the combat fairly bland and unengaging . Was quite difficult at the start but became quite easy by the end, this was playing on hard difficulty. I basically just kept up the shield spell and spammed roll constantly and enemies couldn't damage me. Feel like the talent system is a bit of a waste or at least in my play-through didn't feel like there were many really viable options. I though the potion system was a major step back from the first game I loved the alchemy in The Witcher 1 but here you cant consume potions in battle which right of the bat drastically reduces their usefulness and the potions themselves are much more limited, don't have the same sense of exploration you had with mixing them in TW1. Conclusion: Only 3 chapters with 3 locations although there is plenty to do. I again played over 50 hours and enjoyed myself although this time did feel it starting to drag near the end. A good game and would recommend for fans of TW1,its certainly more modern and probably more familiar to most although personally I didn't quite enjoy it as much as TW1.

After a long, careful consideration I'm firmly decided the second Witcher does deserve an absolute rating. Now I don't tend to hand out 10s as if there was no tomorrow, so believe that my point of view towards the game isn't just another temporary shout out of excitement of a young gamer who still wanders around in the state of euphoria. Rather, it's a steady verdict of a quite bored gamer, who's been, after many years, finally torn out of lethargy by this one game that managed to re-wake the passion for gaming inside him. Tomasz Gop once noted their game would be the synthesis of Demon's Souls, Heavy Rain and Arkham Asylum, and wow he was actually pretty accurate with that statement. But what's more important, it's not only these games, but the entire decade of the games' market. The best way to put it is that The Witcher 2 is a game which defines the current condition of the gaming industry. It's the centerpiece of everything the many companies were attempting to come anywhere near to before. You'll find just about everything in this game – from the intensive gameplay to the slowest „stalker"like; from the deep story digging in ethical questions to the sharp escalating twists; from the tactical battles all the way to those that seem as though they come from some one-on-one fighting game; and finally, from the interactive movie with QTE sequences to nearly classical adventure-ing. From the pointed aspects two things are apparent: 1) In a „dream world" The Witcher would be a game that would draw a thick line behind the current development, thus initiating its new generation. 2) The combination of mechanisms leads to a varied gaming experience. The second point is key for the gamers, since the game does NOT go as near as to the standard feeling of satisfaction found in other titles. It's the mixture of what at first seems to be an incongruous material that causes the quantum of „emotions" the game manages to evoke in you. It often goes far to the ancient times for a bit of inspiration, when the challenge meaning hardcore elements also meant some sort of a reward for the player, just as it does in the game (the anger and anxiety during the battle with Kayran -> the unbelievably satisfying and expurgatory feeling after his defeat). CDP RED were well aware of it, and so they prepared the Insane difficulty (simply put, death = game over); I think it would be virtually impossible to juice any more potential out of it. A sequel to an already perfect game merely prompts many and many other questions, for example how does the European market stand in relation to the one beyond the ocean, which I'll rather won't get into. But, I could simply say it's simply the greatest pleasure to play such detailed, all in all perfectly polished and playable RPG that combines various genre directions in a very skilled way. The script is a chapter of itself, but it's excellent in the core; the journey in the trails of the royal murderer is easily one of the finest pieces of writing I've ever seen in this given media. To conclude, I must praise the narrative experiment that no other game of heroes has had the guts to take (afaik) and which works (damn) well in here.
