Heres some PC vs 360 ...

LOL, I love how they compare the intro cinematic, which is rendered by the game engine in the pc version and instead pre-rendered in a badly compressed video file on the x360... of course they look so different...

Back on topic: I downloaded just to see how it looked on the 360, and I, too, am impressed. The game looks basically the same as my pc could run it (some settings on medium, some on high), but much smoother. Best looking game I've seen on the 360 to date.

I love the fact that people compare a £120 piece of hardware to a top of the range PC. I've a low-mid spec graphics card which cost more than my xbox let alone the rest of it Smile

Back on topic. I can't quite get into this yet. I struggled with the original witcher (mainly due to it being super buggy when it was release). Will give it some more time and see whats what.

Looks pretty enough though

Yes , but every time I die..I delete those older ones , it's annoying but it's better that way.

Also I think it depends on your time & date settings , every time I finish playing I pull it out of the power socket..so my time always resets to default one. Some games look for that info when loading up your previous saves ( like Witcher ) , some games use their progression time..

Its a great game, remember, chapter 2 changes completely depending on your choices.
Dont know any other game that changes a big chunk of itself depending on player choice.

Add Mass Effect 3 to that list with it's shitty generic MMO fetch side-quests.

Excited to play this, the first game had a great feeling and a really great representation of TW world in a game.

Only tried the arena mode, as I don't want to start this right now - want to finish DS first - but to those that are playing, how's the combat? Felt pretty "meh" in the arena mode...

If you play in hard mode then prepare to Dodge a lot.
It also makes me think if the would have released on consolesast year it would have taken away goty from skyrim, the game has decision making which influences the game which I felt was not upto the mark in skyrim.

@deelix
Depending upon whether you helped roache or elf just before the fight with kingslayer determines the rest of game I.e the entire chapter 2 and chapter 3 will change which brings more gameplay value in second playthrough

leave a savefile before the big decision at the end of chapter 1, it ll be obvious when it comes.
that way after finishing the game, you ll have to replay only the last short part of chapter 1 and then you ll be in the new chapter 2 afterwards.

Judging by the sad face I assume she turn out to be a he. Oh well, good thing Gerald's not picky, being a mutant and all that. Cool Face

I mean ffs, he fucked some pretty nashy she-things in the first game. That wasn't just me, right?. Focused

How is the exploration on this game?

Is it open? Do you have side-quests to do?

There are sidequests, and you're free to explore the area you're in. However, not all the game world is open at once: there are 3 main chapters (4 actually, since there are 2 different second chapters). Each one is in a different area of the world, and you can only explore that area during that particular chapter.

If you're thinking about skyrim, then yes: you have much less "freedom to do whatever the fuck you want" in TW2. However, in my opinion, it's a matter of quality over quantity: skyrim is huge and deep, but a lot of it is repetitive (dungeons similar to each other, areas full of nothing but empty forset/snowfields/etc, busy-work side quests). TW2 is more "condensed". THe world is less big, but each area has a level of detail and "hand-crafted" feel that imho skyrim lacks. There are less side-quests, but they usually are more interesting/deep/connected to the main story than the a lot of skyrim sidequests.


To sum it up: TW2 is not focused on free-roaming or long hours of side-questing/grinding/exploration. However, it more than compensates the absence of a lot of "extra" contents (when compared to other rpgs obviously, it's still a pretty long/big game, with several side quests and things to do) with the very high quality of the content that IS present.

Thanks for the information.

If you do all side-quests and main quest, how long you take to beat the game?
