The problem I had with it was that the interface was horrible for looking stuff up and that the opening section is quite difficult when you don't quite understand what's going on. I just about got to the first village before I got fed up, speaking here as someone who enjoyed the first game and is generally a fan of large, complex games.Waaghpowa said:A lot of reviews whined about difficulty and how it wasn't in your face obvious how to do things. Some people are just impatient really, and it's not like the first Witcher game was easy either. for all I know, people who complained were the ones who never played the first game.PercyBoleyn said:People actually complained about that? I mean yeah, the spells and combat system were a bit confusing at first but it's not like there weren't mobs around for you to experiment with. Didn't it feel satisfying taking down your first mob with techniques and tricks you learned by yourself instead of having someone hold your hand through the entire process?
I'm probably going to give it another go eventually (they have a massive update coming soon I think?) However the Witcher 2 is an extremely difficult game to get into.
As far as handholding goes, I'm perfectly fine so long as it doesn't get int he way of playing normally. When the game starts covering the screen in constant pop-ups and nags you to follow the nice little path the developers wants you to take through their game, I get fed-up and either turn them off or find something better to play.
