巫师加强版

I bought the game this morning.. i tried in a computer with operative sistem of 64 bits and later, after uninstalling it, in another with 32 bits. Don't work in neither, even having installed DirectX 9.0c. I'm very dissapointed...

At least as an older gamer on a non-gaming PC (core2duo e8600, gt1030) and 5:4 monitor, I found the graphics absolutely fantastic. But that's where any liking for the game ends. All available player-view options were really badly applied 3rd-person ones. The two isometric ones are at least familiar but done in a tad unwieldy way, and the OTS (over-the-shoulder) view option is not much better as it's only about as good as the really quite unwieldy 3rd-person OTS view option in Fallout 3 (which almost everyone who plays Fallout 3 eschews in favour of that game's superior 1st-person view). But sadly there is no 1st-person option in Witcher, and the game is far poorer for it. Some say a 1st-person wouldn't work, but that's only because of the way the makers added some things (like opponent indicators) around their 3rd-person view, which could easily be moved. And the Witcher's best view option, the OTS one, clips and chops around like Fallout 3 on a very bad day. A game-breaker frankly. Fight mechanics are ok (if basic), and the story-line bearable (if you like awful tweenage dramas like The Twilight Saga). Yet this is made worse by the (very frequent) cinematic cut-scenes. Am I playing a game or watching a B-movie? Even the tutorial was bad and poorly executed - e.g. I could easily get to the required winch but couldn't interact with it as a far off out-of-sight enemy NPC was still alive and the game didn't even bother to mention this - it was just as if the winch was non-interactive, etc, etc.

10/10 masterpiece

Although story and graphics are nice, the linearity, the lack of freedom and the poor number of missions reminds me more on a complex action game than a real RPG. Something you will enjoy once.

This might well be a good game. I have no way of knowing. For the life of me I could not come up with a control scheme that let me play the game at all. Using the mouse and keyboard setup the game used some sort of absolutely insane mouse acceleration, such that the tiniest movement of my mouse would overshoot any possible degree of movement. Going for an isometric view slowed the mouse down but also made both controling the game an uninutive chore as well as seemingly making the mouse highly unresponsive to left/right clicking. Nowhere in the options menu are there any options whatsoever for disabling the mouse acceleration or otherwise tweaking it's responsiveness. I've struggled with this mess for a while with zero luck and frankly have lost all motivation to try any more. I'm uninstalling the game.
