巫师加强版

This game has an incredible narrative, characters you grow to care for and enemies you grow to hate. [Not much spoiler alert] When i first met the youngest witcher Leo, i already knew i didn't want him to die, and killed the first few enemies as fast as i could. The game is wonderful, but sometimes optimization is poor. Make a desktop shortcut, right click, select properties, and on the end of target add "-dontForceMinReqs" [no quotes, yes dash] and that totally lets you play, because if you are below the minimum it straight-up refuses to start [unless you do what i did]. Whatever graphics card you have, open the adapter [Catalyst, for example] and force vsync on it, that helps a whole lot if you have low framerate.

The witcher is one of the best games I have ever played (I have not finished a game that came out after 2007 because my pc cant run them. and I just barley got a ps3). The only problem with it is the combat, but the story completely makes up for it.

Peak RPG, true to the Witcher's world! I still play it every year.

The game starts out with a pretty cool, if janky, cinematic. The opening cutscene is also nice, if not weird and cliche. Suddenly, you're asked to draw a sword. Geralt holds it over his head, behind his back, and swings toward the target at about a 45 degree angle. So, basically, he hurts people by doing something that looks like the chicken dance. Not only are the animations ugly (I guess they spent all the money on instanced cut scenes), but the combat is just clicking people who have massive health bars. Click, click, click, click, click, right click (to parry or whatever), rense and repeat. You can also just run past all the enemies, in a way strikingly similar to Aliens Colonial Marines. There's no way I can get into this, even if the story is cool.

If you're looking for harmony and love, go away. The female characters are just as charismatic as the main proprietor, Gerald. While you're being "rewarded" with sex just doesn't feels like "love", you'll be driven at the edge of what you can bear. At least if you're as attached to the story and sensible as I am. Don't get too attached - it's realy luring you out of your mind. Don't trust nobody, never ever. Not even those you can trust, because they'll be egoistic as hell, no matter your choices. Don't expect sympathy with your feelings, so don't give any either. So much for the social part of the game. And don't you get me wrong here: The characters are great! Strong, believable, exzentric. Story and gameplay goes deep, evolves, turns. Another hard one to swallow is, that there are so very many decisions that will get back to you way, way later. You won't be able to tell the results of what you do the first, second and third time you play this game. Sometimes it feels like you just don't have enough information to decide - sometimes you just don't like the given choices. If you're a weak hearted, this game is not for you - but you will enjoy it nonetheless. This game is not for me either, but I do love it anyways. There's so much charm in it, so much magic.. it has got me compelled completely and I just can't get off it. Maybe to "play" this game, or not to, is the most serious choice you'll ever make regarding computer games. This deed is just pregnant with consequence. In normal case, you can just go back 10 minutes and chose differently. Here you'd have to start a new game - and because The Witcher is jam-packed with this, it loses one star. This is not for the relaxing evening, this is a second life in all it's complexity, and you'll be unable to get back, once you've chosen your path. You will chose a path - you will have to deal with the consequences - there is no other option. Just as there is no ideal way, no right or wrong, no well done, no happy trees and no fairies. Erare humanum est. In fact life isn't black or white, The Witcher isn't black or white, and neither your given options will be. This can drive you crazy sometimes and that's the reason for one missing star. It's not 4 of 5 stars - it's 5 stars, but one of it is deadly black with unfullfilled desires, sadness, arrogance, hate and delusions. Yes, you will lose illusions here. For the better or worse is for you to decide. I don't need to say much about the graphics, the sound, or anything - it's just something you don't need to worry about here, because it'll satisfy you whatever it is you're expecting. You will emerge into a new world. A dark world and, while almost any game claims this, with Gerald it is true indeed. More than you'll sometimes want it to. The intoxicative atmosphere gets you drunk, disoriented, befuddled and surely will change something inside of you. In the end you'll lose real hard currency in your real life, because you'll buy the sequel that's coming soon. This is your choice - take it or leave it - there won't not be no (ha!) turning back and what has been seen can't be unseen. Massive, all-out, most uncompromising.
