Finished it tonight and I wish I had played it sooner. Probably my second favourite game of the year after Portal 2.

It's great to see a developer create a classic style RPG and it sell well.

Stuff I liked

- No DRM
- Free updates!
- Absolutely stunning graphics, it looks nicer then Battlefield 3 after playing both maxed out.
- Great, mature story. The dialog by nearly every character is great
- Combat is awesome once you get the hang of using Quen but it can be really tough at the start and I can't imagine how many times I would of died if I played it on launch without the tutorial that is now available.
- You can nail bitches. I think I would of got the achievement for this if there was one.
- Letho is a good bad guy.

Bad Stuff

- Inventory limits is retarded. You constantly have to sell stuff only to realise you just need what you sold to make some potion. I installed a mod that gave everything 0 weight to make this easy
- QTE's
- Ending is a bit sudden and I think the game could of done with another chapter but I still enjoyed the ending.

9/10

You probably know this, but with the inventory there's a chest in each chapter that you can store items in. The items in the chest carry other to following chapters.

I'm on Chapter 3 (I think, the Dwarf village). Really enjoying it so far.

Yeh its a beautiful looking game, I loved it. BUT I didnt finish it, got too busy with work then when I came back to it I started getting crashes (probably the nvidia driver), and the patch refused to update, so I couldnt be fucked. Shame.

So true.

I was bored shitless in The Prologue, but I kept at it and it ended up being one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played.

Started The Witcher 2 last night, I like where it's heading. The gameplay is pretty different from the first (which is taking some adjusting to after finally getting well-versed at the various hot keys and what not in the first one), but I like that the voice acting is way way better, and it has more of an epic feel to it. It looks freakin' amazing too - even on the absolute lowest settings (1024 x 728, low textures/rendering/blah blah blah) it still looks pretty awesome. I'm surprised my laptop can run it as well as it does.

Just got my first "finishing move" mini cinematic. Epic.

Geralt is a bad ****.

I should probably finish the first one. Actually, I should probably finish Skyrim too. Oh and Grim Fandango too. Fucks sake, I need to be a kid again...

CD Projekt are the best
