Is Witcher 2 any good?

I am gonna take a shot at this, if you want to test your system and see how hard you can ever push it buy witcher 2 and set setting to uber. If you want a game where your choices in the game actually have real consequenses that changes all the time buy the witcher 2, if you want a game where you slay monsters, seduce woman and have excelnt conversations ingame get witcher 2... Now i just sounded like someone that tries to sell the game lol but i like to make pro and con lists so here goes( these are only in my opinion)

Pro's: Best graphics i ever saw in a rpg ever ( if your system can go uber on it)
Great pc's,and great interactions.
Long gameplay and keeps getting better as you play.
Has a dragon
Has several different play troughs, each one with different choices and endings
Combo moves and finishing kills
Hero can romance...
Can craft different weopons and armor and potions to some level( but limited)
Great sounds and special effects.
Mix of magic,swords,bows and so on.
The choices are a big pro, it is brilliant how they revolve later on.

Cons: starts weird....maybe a little slow.
You need a super gfx or sli/crosfire to run " ubersampling" and yes having that. on stresses the pc to max, but it looks awesome...
You need to updatethe game to latest updatefor max performance/gameplay effect.
Combat system may or may not be liked( some love it some hate it)

So if you want my opinion...i would say if you like medevil rpg's and like monsters,girls,blood and long conversations followed by high graphics and intece story lines with differnt plays i would suggest getting it, or playing a demo first... But imho i luved the witcher 2 and finished it 4 times BUT i luved dragon age 1 and 2 , and luved gothic series and 2 worlds allot, so hope my imput gave you some idea on the game.

To wishmaster

Thanx for the review and screenshots, i am gonna wait a while to see if skyrem can play on dx11 but i think its gonna be the rpg i was waiting for, and from previous post i saw of you, it seems we like the same games and tipes of gameplay, so based on that i think i will give skyrem a go, i will give my take on it after a week or so when i get the game...( gonna get nfs the run first) thanx for you imput i wanted to add to your rep but i have to "spread it around" first sorry mate

Ps. Can you say if skyrem is like other known rpgs in gameplay and so on?

Thanks I think I'll pick up a copy later. Can get the premium edition for about 40 bucks. Not worrying about my system running it BTW.

Thanks.

hahahaha

yup youre right

Moving right along.....

Skyrim is looking pretty good thus far. For a game that was just released by "microstutter" Bethesda this game is running pretty good. Nice graphics as well. Not bad

Agreed
Im having alot of fun with it.

Though there are some issues, my biggest complaint ATM is the UI.
Hoping for a DarnUI soon, although not sure if that will happen.


The Witcher2 wasnt bad. I didnt like the rolling around all the time in combat, but got used to it.

Oh,i am sorry, i was only talking in general system requirements, i didn't meen anything against you. Hope you enjoy the game.

Well it does take some getting use to for me considering I just finished off Oblivian. This system seems a bit dumbed down to me. Actually you're talking about the interface, yeah it does take some getting use to. I meant the game's mechanics feel a little dumbed down.

BTW I've never used DarnUI.

Didn't take it that way and never thought you meant any harm

All is good

I've seen that in Game a few times, amongst Garden Simulator and Bus Simulator (not to forget Surgery Simulator ) and at the prices they are, I can't imagine anyone buying it, even if as panais suggests, whatever dreams of being a street cleaner they may have. Seriously, what kind of career aspiration is that to be setting in the mind of a 3+ year old? Sure, you see the street cleaning vehicles driving down the pavement and think "hey, that'd be pretty cool", but definitely not to the extent I thirty or so £ or a career aspiration
Mocking aside, I do quite enjoy SCS/Excalibur's truck simulators and have recently whiled away many happy hours trucking through England, mainland Europe and the USA, but everyone dreams of being a trucker (right?? Or is that just me... ), but not a street cleaner

Street Cleaning Sim got 1.5 our of 10 on GameSpot.com

ditto GamesMaster say they rate games relatively, so angry birds and modern warfare 2 could obviously still get similar scores, despite being very different games. GameSpot people must have REALLY hated it to give it 1.5/10; seriously, that's appallingly low, no matter what the game's theme may be

...in other words, it's a rubbish game.
