Page 1 2 >>It looks great. But I wonder how it plays. I thought the combat was a bit clumsy in the PC version. Especially when you fought groups of enemies.
You roll out of attack, hit isnt even close to your character and you still get hit. And hit feedback is sometimes not even there.
Combat is decent at best, though Geralt does alot of useless ballerina spins for a simple attack though, looks silly. Trying to be "chinese martia arts" style but fails lol.
I agree with the stealth as well, very clunky, why they put that crap in there is beyond me. Should have made a quick cutscene with dialogues instead. If you cant do it properly, dont do it at all because it will come out clunky, bad and odd and in the end, annoying.
as i got to play a promo copy and it looked worse than it does here?
Well, to be honest, it is still a bit clumsy at times, either because of the camera or because hit detection is not always top notch. Take the combat against the troll for example, sometimes you can see Geralt evade an attack but he still loses health (although the troll didn't apparently hit him). The same goes with the big stones he throws at you, they hit you even when you seem to have avoided them. It's a bit odd and annoying, but the combat system is still interesting. What I find has not been improved enough is the stealth controls in the very beginning. The part when you try to escape from prison is really awkward.
@ Sath - go read the books, Gee is dancing during sword fights.
Sci0n: it is installed indeed. Not sure it makes a difference though.

I expect not being hit when the foe's sword clearly does not touch me but I may be an idiot.
I really want to replay this game but a 11 gig patch? lol no thanks
minor bug fixes, lol
This game was my favourite game of 2011. The combat is a bit clumsy, but it works and doesn't frustrate. I'm glad that CD Project got the chance to bring it to consoles. They deserve the money and appreciation for this game. And people with less powerfull pc's can now play and enjoy it on console. What is not to like???
I'll have to buy it on steam at some point to support cdprojekt.

Anyways glad to see this game finally shipped on X360... if CD Projekt is not working on a PS3 version then I say they better start making Witcher 1 pretty soon, I really hate how PC game devs keep putting games sequels on consoles without ever bothering to port or re-program enhance the previous or part 1 game on a disc... too many PC devs to name but I will say Crytek since they took out a level and made it DLG only... sigh
