Ведьмак 2: Убийцы королей

Some people are complaining of performance issues with the game. So far I had none, running it on High with a stock i7 920, an AMD 5850 and 12GB of RAM. I bought the game twice, once on Steam and once here to show my support for CD Projekt RED, they deserve every penny for defying "the big companies" by offering legal ways to circumvent censorship and to stand by the idea that a good game needs no DRM to sell well. Quite the opposite, by offering a DRM-free game they managed to garner LOADS of buyers who would pirate the game just for the sake of screwing DRM. Congratulations guys on being ahead of all big companies that think imposing stupid restrictions on games is the way to enforce legality.

DRM free , love it and bought it here to suppot gog.com

I really want to like this game, but as soon as there is a fist fight (and there are many), the game is nothing but an exercise in frustration. If you have an XBOX-style controller, those fights are a walkover. If you don't, however, if you can finish a bout in less than 3 attempts, even on the easiest difficulty level, you are one of the few.

Perfect in every aspect, except one. Combat.

In case you haven't played this one, GO DO SO IMMEDIATELY! It is a superb RPG set in the awesome world of Andrzej Sapkovski's wicked books. It is very immersive, the storytelling is EXTREMELY well done . One small gripe is the combat system, dodging in particular. The animation lacks immediate feedback, which can lead to some frustration. Even though this game is now 5-6 years old, its graphics still look more than decent. If you play the first witcher game today, you will immediately notice the outdated graphics but in this one, i was still stunned today when I first turned it to ultra. Sure, it may not be crysis 4 but damn, i think it looks GREAT. Geralt is a great character, he is faced with many problems and prejudices over the course of the story. The special trait of witchers, signs, is very well implemented. I especially liked that you could use different signs in some places to produce similar results, like one scene in the prologue where you have to bust through a wooden barricade. The game tells you to cast a telekinetic blast but by accident i discovered that the flame spell wors too. Or, you can stun an enemy by casting a 'mind control' type spell, or, alternatively you also could stun him by knocking him down using the telekinetic blast. At first, switching between silver and iron swords doesn't seem important but if you wanna stand a chance against stronger monsters on harder difficulties, you are really going to have to whip out that shiny silver sword you got there. Overall, I think everybody should at least have tried this one, especially fans of the third part of the series or the books(I belong to both groups). If there were more stars i would still give this game a perfect score because if there were more stars five wouldn't be perfect no more. Now GO AND PLAY THIS, NOW!
