Still haven't finished the Witcher 2, but I have quite enjoyed it. I wouldn't say I am jumping with excitement over the sequel, but I am sure it will be worth a play


wait until you get to the end...

I had to leave my computer for 2 weeks, so stopped at the end of Act 2. I started Act 3 and died really quickly.... Then ran away to Far Cry 3 instead. The problem is, it quite a tricky game and I am a little stupid, I only just worked out the fatigue system properly and that the healing spell (ard?) stops your mana (?) from regening. Added to that, I got myself the andreniline magic power and I am getting rather confused

You mean the sheild? Yea that stops you regaining mana while it's active. It's still pretty OP as it removes damage from at least one attack. But you still don't want to get hit, rolling to dodge attacks and get behind enemies is key (backstab does extra damage to most enemies). What have you been putting your skill points into? Also bombs are very useful to have especially against multiple enemies as their AoE and effects are great crowd control.

The Witcher 2 definitely could have done a batter job of explaining the systems.

Far Cry 3 is pretty fun tho. I have been meaning to finnish my EE Dark difficulty playthrough but new games keep getting released and Steam keeps having sales lol.

Magic! I used to use the shield all the time, but I got bored with all the rolling around. Now I tend to lay some magic traps, roll and roll and roll and then stab in the back. It generally works fine, but can cause issues in the tighter environments. I haven't parried in the entire game, but I do generally try and keep and shield on when I go on the offensive

I have crafted myself some bombs and I do try to use them, but am generally more reliant on magic.

I completely agree on that. Hell, they didn't even say how arm wrestling works! (I had to look for it on the net)

OT: I'm reserving a seat on this hype train. I loved the first one, and I'm currently loving the second one now that I've come past the "why have they changed this" stage so I have high hopes for the next one.

Meanwhile, I'll try to finish the second one and then replay both the first and the second with a savegame before The Witcher 3 launches..



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

It may be worth investing in combat, have you at least grabbed at least one level of the position skill? It reduces the amount of damage you take when backstabbed, which starts at 200% damage which on the stronger enemies is basically instant death.

Oh man oh man oh man! The definitive underdog franchise of the 7th generation and an amazing RPG series! The Witcher games easily beat anything Bioware and Bethesda released this gen.

Yeah, that one I have and possibly 1 or 2 others, but is it probably 80% magic

This should be a top RPG, like Withcer 2. Hopefully it's for next-gen :/


"We are definitely starting for new consoles," managing director Adam Badowski told us, when asked whether the pair of known-about "AAA+" games will be for this generation or the next.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-17-witcher-devs-two-2014-2015-aaa-games-are-simultaneous-pc-next-gen-console-releases

"CD Projekt Red talked about two major new games in November. These were described at a conference as "AAA+" games, and are scheduled for 2014/2015. A "AAA+" game is "something huge and it's multi-platform", explained Platkow-Gilewski.

One of these is new IP."

 

Just for those that maybe still aren't sure that TW3 is comming and will be reveiled soon
