given that i played all of about ten hours of geralt one. i mean it basically is geralt, given a chance he'd take up the entire story line, with no supports. this guy is a downright bad ass. scared and ripped, a total jerk if you like. man his girlfriend is hot and does magic. who knew? not you, cause you've as stoned as you are, you've forgotten everything again. yet again the main character is severely hindered by his own failing memory. it's like playing through some sort of weird acid trip at times. you can choose to either fight a dragon yesterday or play through your memory of a long, long, ... walk with your king. best of all, when it comes to one one one, or should i say one on many combat. you instantly fight about 8 dudes, two who shoot. one dag has an oaken-shield - lorded over pine shields that might otherwise trap an enemies axe, but did not offer the endurance or the protection. if you could carry them. think a house door. the guy is sitting behind it and just derping about trying to hit you like a tortoise. that said it's a hard fight, several things hit home, you can't do combat easily without some fineness, and using spells is about as useful as eating nuttela with a spoon. i'm waiting for the thing to finish patching at the mo. damn it takes some time brother. there's only two buttons to click now though, to get all the patches from now till 2.0. with 2.0 i've decided to play through again. they claim a lot has changed since release. still waiting, i guess umm. the other cool thing is the upgrade system. you stat point in the training weals, well wheels, but wheals is not entirely useless in comparison. cheese like in it's absurdity, you can either poison dudes with strange drunken master zen. dumb. or smash a dudes head in with your sword. magic comes along whatever you do, which you will you know, you will. the shield spell is about as vital as a heart is to bound oxen. i signed up at gog and they gave me - tryrian 2000. i remember playing this game back in the win 9x days. like raiden but you know different. far out, still patching. i'm listening to a guy play a guitar solo, he's the guy who plays in the castelo de lisboa. or some such place. he's the only man with a licence to play there, for a city of over a million. you walk in the castle, or say his local bar, or even to celebrate and he'll quickly have a guitar in his lap. playing heart out, finger picking away and regaling you in melodic verse, english and portuguese. top bloke. if there is one thing i think the witcher 2 could benefit from, it's less people saying it's not number one. i've read books, books are different, some in a series suck. this game does not suck. it is a strong contender for game of the year the my recital. i really think the world is so beautiful that you will not put this game down much until you're completely exhausted. the 30+ houses solid gameplay i logged during my first playthrough was unique in so many ways. one of them is, from time to time, innovative story and character development. having given another brands largest title recently, it just pales. this bloomy overbright world is a cracker and i'd love more games with it. gosh, almost through to 2.0. lordy. i do have decent internet you know. derp. gun. speaking of guns, what's the deal with the throwing daggers. this guy is on some serious gear. like a fox. silver sword to kill a dude, what are you kidding me, no damage?! what gives. oh steel, well, damn i'm no chemist. done... nearly. i get it, never uninstall this thing again! that wolf is creepy. decompressing data (having just extracted)... come on guys.
