Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition Hits 360 and PC in April

[Idocreating]

Please tell me that PC version is free for those who paid for it before or I'm gonna be mighty peeved.

I couldn't stop watching that intro, one of my favorite intros of all time along with one of my favorite games/RPGs of all time. It is a work of art, and shows how threatening the King Slayer is, and highlighting the abilities and combat prowess of a Witcher.

I'm tempted to buy the Dark Edition just for that sexy art book and Wolf Medallion. I'd wear that thing always. Well that, and just to further support these guys, fucking can't wait for what will most likely be Witcher 3.0 patch. This will make for an awesome 3rd (I'm just gonna abandon my current 3rd playthrough as it is now) and 4th playthrough.

CD Projeckt Red are awesome, who doesn't like free stuff?

I will be buying the Xbox version of this game just because they deserve the money, but I will continue to play the PC one.

Just a quick question. Does Witcher 2 follow on from the original? Or is it a stand alone title?

While it picks up and references the original game, it can be played and enjoyed mostly without playing the first. Witcher 1 was more of a "gateway" game that introduced us to Geralt and hist world, its own story which was more on a personal level than a grand political scale. The ending of W1 segues into W2, but for the most part, 2's events are mostly their own.

Would you happen to know a good LP for the first Witcher? I want to be familiar with it before I play the sequel, even if Witcher 2 works as a standalone game.

That's awesome, and CDProjekt is awesome. Can't wait!

Birthday is mid-May, might ask for this on Xbox just in case it's not a great port. But still, I really do like the look of this game!

No I don't, but I'm sure if you dig enough on youtube you will find one...or just buy W1 and try to enjoy it.

EDIT: I did a quick Youtube search and came up with this LP http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD59876DB5D6FF8A3&feature=plcp

The guy plays it blind, vid quality pretty good, and looks like he lets the game do the talking for the most part.

I'm currently watching one by Toegoff [http://www.youtube.com/user/Toegoff#g/c/81C6DE4966651A0B]. It's pretty good. If a bit long, though I would say that that's more the fault of the game

 

[Omnific One]

They deserve the preorder I gave them for the Witcher 2. 100%

 

[Rad Party God]

Snip.

I personally haven't played TW2, but I've read somewhere that you can import the data you have for The Witcher 1, carrying over many decisions you made in the first game, a la Mass Effect.

But, just like Mass Effect 2, it doesn't matter if you've never played the first game, as (I think) everything gets explained about what happened in the events of the first game. The save data thing, is more to make a seamless leap between the first and second game and to drop your jaw about the consequences you get with the decisions made in the first game. Or something like that.

Take everything I said with a pinch of salt, as I'm a bit lazy at this moment to research and I haven't played the game yet.

I really need to get this game, CD Projekt are simply awesome, but I seriously doubt my PC will run it. I seriously need an upgrade :S

 

[Baresark]

This is a full adaptation of The Witcher 2 for a console. We have changed the game's controls and its menus to reflect the differences between the platforms

Come on. Come the fuck on, CDProjekt. Are we still pretending that what you released in 2011 was an actual PC game at this point?

Well, 'least the trailer looks nice.

I never felt for a second that it was anything but a PC game.

OT: Awesome, another reason to play through a fantastic game. I'll be playing the Free upgrade to the the Enhanced Edition since I don't own a 360. I'm glad the 360 crowd gets to play this game, it is super awesome.

 

[Waaghpowa]

Holy shit, that trailer was sexy as hell.

I may have to pick this game up. I've heard nothing but good things about Witcher 2.

You mean you didn't hear any of the whining about it being too hard?

And to answer your initial question, like everyone else said, you'll be fine.

I play and enjoy Dark Souls, I can't see Witcher 2 being Dark Souls hard.

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

The trailer is great, but looks like he's playing a way OP class! I kid of course, it's awesome. I liked the part where he blew the water out of his nose. Seriously!

Decided: Replaying Witcher 2 April 17th

I'll check it out. The last time you recommended me an LP, I adored it. Thanks, man.

Hey, no problem, I'm happy to help.

Personally, I find it a bit slow at times, but it's something more relaxing than some other LPs I've seen

 

[Something Amyss]

Well, now that it's coming to the 360 I'm more than willing to give it a shot.

They massively updated the combat to be just overall better, after that patch I enjoyed it enough to give it 2 playthroughs, I would advise you revisit it soon, also the game isn't too hard on regular difficulty after you learn the basics (which the new tutorial helps with greatly).
