360 pad is superior to KB/M in this game IMO. It looks like it was designed for it.

What difficulty?
Also, I didn't try it, but I noticed you can hop between easy/medium/hard and insane?
I thought insane locked you in it when you picked it (perma-death and all)? Anyone try flipping to insane and then back to easy? Wonder what happens if you start a normal game, set it to insane, and die? Or start insane and then switch to normal and lose?

Awesome, I'll dig it out and plug it in.
Now, how do you win at dice, or better still, how do you play it well? I've lost about 10 times in a row now!!
Dice is basically poker but with dice.
Also requesting Dice tips, I can arm wrestle and fight like a pro but dice just doesn't work for me.

Am I locked into finishing chapter one if I accept the reward for killing the kayran?
Also, I'm guessing I can craft cool shit with its remains but I don't have any diagrams. Where would I find one?

PC Gamer review: 89% with a very specific reason why it'a not a 90%+ game.

Hard to maybe half of the first act, then normal besides that one fight which sucks fucking ass. Raged on it for over half an hour before finally relenting and dropping it to easy for the fight. Having one Incinerated debuff tick 1/3rd of your life fucking sucks with the amount of spell spamming he does.
Oh ffs, I hate this 100 crap.sflufan said:
Whats the difference between a 89 and a 90 game? between a 65 and 69?
Its so stupid >_<
Games should be ranked out of 5 stars like movies.
Same goes for everything. Unless you are a computer measuring the toxicity of a substance and what not, no human can discern to a 100 scale...

Thanks. Fucking hell, I hate those kinds of oversights, bah. I guess CD Projekt will have a ton of patching to do soon enough, just like with TW1. Thank God this game's a dozen times better than the first one though (which was a 7/10 game at best), I'll be able to oversee these things for my first playthrough.

Yeah, I used one of the saves in the OP because I beat the game years ago, on a friend's comp (I used the Triss/Neutral save). I realized yesterday that it gave me $25,000. Kinda takes the challenge away when you can buy everything from every vendor. :-\

Except for the inventory interface, which is a pain in the arse. The amount of times I've accidentally unequiped something (usually I'll notice Geralt is walking around barefoot in the next cut scene or whatever lol) is crazy. Other than that though, the pad feel nice.

Hahaha, not only that but their review is probably the most blatant shilling I have witnessed in a handful of years.
Think ive found game ending bug. The the "Claws of Madness" quest the NPC I need to give a quest item to cannot be interacted with. Reloading from a previous point does not seem to work. The official forums are down and I cant seem to find a workaround/confirmation.

which laptop? mine is asus i7/460M I bought just recently. I couldnt install and ended up buying from gog.com
be warned, performance is likely to suck on a laptop. I am waiting for optimisation patch before I play this game. Got bad performance even on low settings, 720p. It LOOKS amazing but becomes a slideshow especially in combat.
sflufan said:
I agree with the review. Never felt being able to change the map either. Maybe it'll require some deeper choices and the key decision, but
doing a key decision differently only got me a thank you from a character instead of a different outcome.
^not really a spoiler, but I know how anal-retentive some people are about spoilers here
Is money ported over as a transfer bonus or is it because the save had that amount banked? Considering you get an achievement for 10,000$, with 25,000$ you're probably safe for the whole game. Earning money is so freaking hard plus selling things earns you shit. You get like what 12 gold for the 2nd best sword you were holding? It's especially worst when you're a perfectionist and want to get everything. I've been abusing the arm wrestling glitch just so I can earn enough to buy everything.Mr. Snrub said:
Is there no buyback/sellback option for vendors? I lost a shitton of money last night by accidentally buying something I didnt need and then selling it back for much less than what i JUST got it for. Im going to have to be more careful.
Skimmed the PC Game review. It seems fair. I didnt beat the game yet (still on Ch 1) but his points line up with what others are saying. Hopefully this will just prompt CDPR to give us more free DLC and expansions.
Also just realized this thread has twice as many replies as the TW1 thread.

Wut you say?
RPS review was also hilarious, he spent a whole paragraph describing how the game is too hard after admitting he rushed through it as fast as possible and saying the alchemy system is useless.
He also didn't seem to like the original game much , so I guess him saying that this game isn't for the meek (in my own words, he didn't say that) is probably not too far off.

mid 80's is still way off.
I'll say one thing though i don't like the new boxing (even with the gorgeous depth of field effects) and dice.

It's much better yet he would have scored da2 pretty much the same. (I enjoyed origins despite it's flaws and repetitiveness but da2 was awful in almost every single way)Salaadin said:
Also calling the first game a 7/10- at the same time is a joke.
I'm not going fanboy over tw2 here, couldn't care less if they score it a 6, as long as they are consistent and have good arguments.
A difficult to learn (but satisfying once you get the hang of it) first game with a more complicated and less hold your hand story is apparently over their empty little heads.
A little taste of this guy's other well written gems.
http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/02/05/saturday-crapshoot-microshaft-winblows-98/
Other than that this guy has never been allowed to actually review anything it seems.
He just gets to write something about obscure old games noone ever heard of, busywork.
Again, I'm annoyed at what passes for gaming journalism in general, not the score some game I like gets.
For Troll Trouble, where is the freaking Troll? I've got the quest downloaded and installed and the village elder outside Flotsam has already asked me not to kill the Troll so I'm pretty sure it installed correctly. I just spent the last half hour running around the forest near the river but I seem to be blind or am just having some bad luck. Can someone spell it out for me? =)

I used the same exact save as well. For whatever reason the game refused to recognize my original saves while the ones in the OP worked fine. I caught the insane amount of orens that save had and I didn't want to ruin the challenge so basically I just pretend $25,000 = $0 and refuse to go below it. It's tough and tempting as hell to bend the rules a little but I've stuck to it so far.

Agreed. Especially when their main argument is "Well, the game was really great and everything, but I didn't like the ending."
....okay. But to knock it down a letter grade because the ending didn't go the way you would have written it? Not really a valid complaint IMO.

Any negative repercussions to not shutting down the shop
in little shop of dreams?
Who gives a shit what he'd give DA2 if he had reviewed it, who gives a shit what their site gave DA2, and are people getting upset over a god damn 89?
89 for the game is outstanding. If you had a test at school and the teacher gives you back an 89 how are you most likely to feel about that? I'd feel pretty pumped----as should CDProjekt.
Great score, great game.

I'd like to pull the old " who cares what scores the game gets " but I'm neither naive nor stupid. I realize fully well that good publicity/reviews will shed more light on the game and subsequently increase the exposure/sales.
But I will say this :
It's one of the best games I've played in a long time and it transcends scores. Not saying it's perfect, but if we wanna compare apples to apples then tw2 is about a trillion times better than all the new games that are getting 85+ avg on metacritic.
