Ведьмак 2: Убийцы королей

This game is really awesome. The story (the most important part for me) it's great. But there are some bugs in mac version. For example VSync is bugged, I can play fluid 60fps without vsync while I can't with it (I get like 15 fps with vsync active). Also sometimes audio go mute (2 times during the epiloge). But the port is great anyway, and the game is awesome. I suggest to play the witcher 1 first.

I really had a blast playing through The Witcher 2. I really love the story and i have read all booksbefor playing Witcher 1+2. I just can't wait to play The Witcher 3, to see how the story continues. The only negative things i have to say are the crafting system and weight encumbrance, when there is a (quite good) crafting system, then i want to carry a lot/many ingredients around, and it is really hard to do so. I suggest using a zero weight mod, if you do not want to fiddle around in the inventory that much ;)

I REALLY REALLY hate the Quick Time Events (QTE). Having to rely on hand-eye coordination and twitch muscle reflexes should be left to "shooter" games. Skyrim and Fallout have vastly superior game interfaces. Perhaps I am too accustomed to those great games. The play-structure resembles Mass Effect in it's linear structure and hallway like paths. However, it is an extremely pretty game and the voice acting (in English) is stellar. If it were not for the QTE nonsense I would give it 5 stars. It loses at least one for the annoyance factor.

Witcher 2 is a tremendous upgrade from the first game if it goes for graphics and combat system. And although I've enjoyed this game by far, I've enjoyed Witcher 1 more. W2 goes two ways, so in order to get full perspective you'll have to play it twice. Which is a good thing for people who enjoy replaying their titles. There are two secondary characters who are opposing each other in a very colourful manner (Roche and Iorweth). Watching these two "exchange" words is a pleasure in itself. They both have different agendas and it's up to you what to do about it. This part of the game focuses a lot on politics, which again is a good thing, as this aspect of life is so rarely reflected in action-adventure-rpg games. The plot is nicely done, and you will yet again be forced to make some hard moral decisions. The inventory is a mess. Literally you'll have to spend some time to get it all organized in your head. Combat can be glitchy sometimes, but all in all - the game is very enjoyable. PS.: And Vernon is one sick son of a mother. He must have some +100 charisma though, for I find it hard not to like him. ;)

bought this retail upon release, just rebought it on sale because i liked it so much and not experienced the extended edition content(a free update btw) so that tells you a little i think of how much i liked this game. its an rpg that doesn't treat you like a child, it has adult theme's and politics but still retains the wonder and magic of a fantasy realm which isn't easy to pull off
