巫师加强版

You can hop on any site and find out what makes this game good, so I'll just lay out the four problems that broke the camel's back. 1) Boring quests, boring combat. Almost all the quests are the fetch type which is definitely not okay for such a story based game. Throw in the LONG travel times... The combat just amplifies this problem. It's kind of neat at first, but soon enough you realize that it's less exciting than Diablo and more cumbersome than D&D style RPG's. On top of that, I don't care what people say, you don't need to specialize in alchemy on "any level above easy." I made it through chapter one, two, and three with just Swallows (healing potions). This makes the much touted pre-combat strategy element of the game negligable. (Oh, and before you say "play it on hard, then!" I tried, and it was a grindfest. Not my cup of tea, but it might be for you.) 2) The "grey" decisions that everyone talks about. They're not grey. Sure, the way they wrote what you say might be a little grey sometimes, but you WILL be forced to make a bright-line choice involving obvious morality. I never experienced a situation even approaching the muddled complexity of the Krogan or the Geth scenarios in ME2. Sure, there is no system telling you which of your choices is "right" by the developers, but it is pretty plain who is the bad guy(s) and who is the badder guy(s). 3) The storyTELLING. If you sat me down with my dad and we told you the same campfire story, I promise that he will come out on top. This is the Witcher compared to [insert your favorite long-standing developer here]. If you wiki the plot for the game, it is deep, complex, and intriguing. If you experience the plot while playing the game, it is mundane, distorted and boring. It's so disjointed that you need to force yourself to care about it. The worst of the worst is the quest ordering; far too often, the game let's you complete quests that need an explanation from another quest. When I don't know who X is, Geralt shouldn't know who X is, yet he does. This completely destroys any immersion. The broader problem is the writing. I'm no literature major, so I can't throw technical terms at you; suffice it to say that the writing is unemotional and out of place at times. For instance, you find out that X is doing Y, a serious breakthrough in your hunt for justice. Your (spoiler-free) response: "Yay." Really? Geralt is not getting paid for the main quest and he isn't passionate about it (per the writing), so why should I care about it? 4) Character development. None. At least not for me. This is always hit and miss in any media presentation, since people connect to characters in different ways. But it seemed that the developers didn't even attempt to get you to connect to Geralt and his Witcher brothers. I cared more about the brothel madame than I did the protagonist and his archenemy! I hate to be the naysayer. I love a good RPG, and I love a good story. The Witcher appeard to have both. But this game is like a rough gem; some people will be able to see through the imperfections, others won't. I fall into the latter category. The flaws outweigh the potential, and I can't justify putting more time into the game than I have. If I could redo things in my quest to prepare to play TW2, I'd save my ten bucks and just wiki the plot and characters. This game isn't worth the backplot.

To really appreciate this game, one has to overcome certain barriers. Yes, this game isn't very recent and might not have the graphcis and animations you'd expect to see today. The combat system might leave you struggling for quite some time. HOWEVER! Once you get pas ''technical stuff' and your eyes get used to it, you will discover the witcher universe in all its splendor. The atmosphere - created by use of dark colors and piercing OSTs (maybe the thing I appreciate the most about this game). The story - featuring moral choices you will actually take your time to reflect upon. The world - even though it is not an open-one as we understand it today, it is still pretty big and most importantly well designed. At last... Well, you will actually understand a little bit more about the witcher's univers if you already played the third (and perhaps the second) game:)

This is the best Witcher. Once you get used into it (which is the most difficult thing for most players since this game has aged badly), this is that kind of game that you can't stop playing until you beat it. It has the best written story of the whole triology and if the 2 expansions of the Witcher 3 wouldn't have existed, it would be the best Witcher. You'll always remember this story and this ending, and you will understand many attitudes that Geralt has in the other games.

Wonderful first entry to an incredible series. The ONLY thing that hurts it, is there is a lot of boring backtracking, but there are simple mods out there that fix this (by letting you teleport). I notice a lot of people claim the combat is badly done, and clunky. This is not true, it is simply DIFFERENT than its successors. The people that claim it is bad, are the same people that want all games to have cookie cutter controls, and complain about D and D rpgs using dice rolls instead of playing like God of War. You know the type, the same idiots that don't skip a cutscene when they find it boring, because that is "disrespectul to the developers". The echo chamber drones. That is, they don't understand that there is a difference between something being badly done, and something being done well, but they simply don't enjoy the style. It is NOT clunky. I think the combat is FAR superior to Witcher 3. You MUST prepare for combat in this game with the potions, and you study up and prepare for different enemies with different potions. This is designed that way because that element is straight from the books. There is a rhythm element to the actual combat, and also you can change the combat to be in isometric mode, which works great with the style. These whiny teens and college students can't grasp that games used to strive for unique mechanics, and won't spend one hour getting used to something different, even though they have all the time in world. If you don't care about echo chambers and gameplay opinions from people who were in diapers when PS2 was king, and enjoy more thought to your combat, you may very well enjoy it.

巫师1这游戏做的最好的就是剧情，环环相扣，层层推进，不得不说CD Projekt Red这家游戏公司是真的会讲故事！除了剧情游戏满是槽点，奇葩的战斗系统，诡异的人物建模，僵硬的脚本演出。初代的剧情推进方式影响着CD Projekt Red后续游戏的叙述方式，期待巫师4！
