Witcher 2 almost a milion seller (plus a bit of gog numbers)

My take on TW2 :

I am a big fan of The Witcher. I played the first one (Enhanced Edition), and I was absolutely hooked to that game. I played it 4 times, two times in hard.

I was very eager to play TW2. Had it preordered as soon as it appeared on Steam. Then, when it was released, I was ashamed by the game. It's a very beautiful game, tailorded for next gen platforms. CDP should be proud of their RED engine.

Somehow, the gameplay is a step back from TW1. Combat system has been 'consolised', it does not feel good to play at with kb+mouse, I actually play it with a 360 controller. When in TW1 you could take easily a large group of ennemies, this time you really have to play like a pussy, getting aggro of some... Traps and magic powers are too powerful in comparison imho. Also, at each leveling up, you get only one point, and yor character upgrades quite clumsily. Inventory system has been revamped and is a mess now compared to the one in TW1. Some fights are now too hard imho, and lack the polishness of TW1.

To sum up, I am not happy with TW2.

Nonetheless, I think GOG does a nice job, and I hope CDP will propose us other nice IP in the future.
