Funny review of the game as always, but really.. This game was as hard to play as Fable. I'd actually call it a built-for-console game, simplistic, easy, quick. I didn't read the manual, but found it not only easy to pick up, but quite fun. Strong, fast and group were extremely easy to figure out. Strong for highly armored targets, fast for weaker targets (which is actually my fav, works on all) and group for when you're surrounded and want to damage them all at the same time. Signs were nice and simple like Fable's magic system. Although again, I only used Aard and Igni (not sure of spelling) combined with the Fast system and I haven't had problems yet.
The game includes some nice tutorials on potion making. Hell, the entire first section is practically a tutorial. There wasn't much travelling to speak of, combat was simple and fun, the graphics were reasonable.
*shrugs* It generally takes me all of half a second to get bored, but I like this game.

That made my hair stand up and almost got me to vomit.
Congratz, it's pretty hard to do that

You are kidding me right?AstroCat said:
I found this game so incredibly boring that I actually put on a DVD, to kill the boredom of the game.
When game haves me enjoy myself in a different way while still playing, that is a far from a good sign.
Needless to say I microwaved the disk.
Holy crap, I was LMAOing at that ending.
This convinces me Yahtzee shouldn't only do the ZP's he should take over Un-skippable!
Brilliant Yahtzee, Brilliant!

I apologise? :0
My bad, I think around that time I was commenting on quite a few ZP vids, to catch up, 'cause I'm slow.

Coolbeans I guess...
And no worries then, I just don't wanna be "the jerk who necro'd a thread" xD
One thing still peeves me about this review. The game and whole book series are based on mediaeval Poland, not England.
Wait a minute did anyone else catch that sentence at 2:35? "No Alliance dipshit teabagging your corpse" AHA! I knew yatzhee was a fellow hordie back when he played wow.
The Witcher was the most fun game I've ever played, man, it beat Batman Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed II, and all the games that YOU said were fun (except for Silent Hill, that's the only one I haven't tried out of the ones you recommended). I don't know how you can NOT see so much fun in it, the combat is extremely in depth and they even made clicking to attack (which is the only way swords on PC games were ever swung, so I dunno why you would say it sucks for THAT) a lot more tactical with having you time your hits and know exactly how to fight an enemy. I hope you play Witcher: Assassins of Kings when it comes out so you can make a more positive review. This game may have some flaws like OVERDOING the amount of tits and swearing but the combat was the most fun I've ever had swinging a sword on ANY game.
Yeah, Polish Author, Polish game company, European/Polish mythology... it was a really good game in my opinion. I passed it 3 times before it got even the least bit boring, when I moved on to Assassin's Creed and came right back to this because I missed it so much XDPhoton_Man62 said:
I played this game recently... and I think it's, well, maybe not shit, but it's very average. The thing I hated the most is the combat which I found incredibly boring and simplistic. Inventory menu is shit, you can't find almost anything you want because the icons are so small and not really telling you anything(and after some time you will have a shitload of items). The whole management menu you have(quests etc) is also very NOT user friendly, but after about 2 hours I got used to it. Story is good but the pacing is awful. Really. I was ending Act III, don't want to spoil anything, but it had some interesting moments - the game got interesting, yeah! But then some moron thought that it was a great idea to !SPOILER! teleport Geralt to some stupid little village so he can pursue an epic quest of...a fucking yokel wedding. Madness. That pissed me off like hell, I had enough. I'm not playing this game anymore. I just feel like this game is wasting my time.
Also, the guy who's idea was to have collectible cards with naked women in the game...what a sad and pathetic person he is.
