The combat has more depth but the game still has its fair share of backtracking -- the fundamental world design hasn't changed (each setting is one large level).

I think it's a huge improvement over the original and the combat system has been completely overhauled to something much more satisfying. I don't recall much backtracking either

Play it!
Yes. I didn't think much of the first (solid, OK game), but The Witcher 2 is a remarkable game in almost every aspect and it's amazing how bold CD Projekt were when creating its visuals. It has a strong identity of its own, which is not something you can say about many medieval fantasy games.
The gameplay is also better than in the first game, more action oriented, in the best way. And Geralt is still a very interesting character.

I'm not sure how you saw my post but not the one (edit: almost) directly beneath it.

Double Dipping on Witcher 2. Lowest price I've seen so far. Got 3 versions of Witcher 2 and 2 for The Witcher: Director's Cut. I may have a problem

I kind of think so. I played GO a lot during the free weekend a while back, and it was fun, but also felt somewhat limited. If I have the kick to play some CS I may try the other ones for maps that aren't in GO and see what they have to offer instead and figure out which one I like best than.
Man, I'm awful at FTL Just about getting to Sector 2 before I get battered.
I'm putting a man in shields, one in engines, one in the cockpit. I power down the medbay until needed to make sure everything else has power. I aim for shields first, then take out weapons.
What am I doing wrong?

FTL OT, search for Weltalls posts on the last few pages and read them!

Sounds alright. Normal or easy?

Has the Crysis franchine been a daily yet? Flash?
My only playthrough was with a stealth character and it was smooth sailing all the way, no bugs or frustration, or anything of the sort. Does the game suck when playing guns blazing or what? I will replay it at some point, but not right now.

Don't worry, you aren't alone. I can get to sector two, but barely make it half way there. I always aim for their weapons, and then missile their o2. Keep their crews busy. I also try and grind as much as possible in the first sector.

Do IT! One of us.
If you have the money and want to have it on your Steam library, why not? If you're actually waiting for other games to be dailies and are on a budget, you're better off saving the double-dipping for another sale.
