No

Spoiler

I went with Roche (This time I'll go with Iorveth)

I'm sure that it took me about 20 hours

It's dubious. Does the game on 360 show how much time you have spent in it? are you sure you have completed all quests/monster quests? They all covered in the manual, you can check it.

Because no way it's possible to complete the game doing _everything_ in 20 hours. It's easy to miss quests though, there are some not obvious/hidden ones.

you can do everything in like 25-27 hours IF you rush.

 

[Truant]

I spent 30 hours, and I got a little over half-way through act 2.

Maybe he skipped through all the cutscenes.

 

[Corky]

Did you check the windows log file? Is it related to the driver? That said, TW2 is a very demanding game so...you never know.

Like I said before, played vanilla tw2 for 60h more or less straight using the same rig without any issues but it's cool I'm way beyond spending more than 5h to get a certain game working, uinstalled the game. Might redownload some time in the future.

or did not talk with anybody at all.

I took 25 hours to play through Iorveth's path and that was doing most of the side-quests.

 

[subversus]

I took 25 hours to play through Iorveth's path and that was doing most of the side-quests.

Iorveth path is even shorter because you don't have a couple of quests there.

 

[The perfect Dark]

I don't know. I don't rush through games. I talked to every person I met. I finished every quest I found and never skipped cutscenes ( I hate this ^^).

I read that the enhanced edition features 4 hours of new quests or bonus content in chapter 3.

I finished chapter 3 (it was the worst chapter) in 3 hours so...there's something wrong I guess? ^^

 

[Solo]

So, my PC launch version bros, what additional stuff have you encountered so far?

 

[subversus]

I finished chapter 3 (it was the worst chapter) in 3 hours so...there's something wrong I guess? ^^

have you met with this chick in Chapter 3? Have you done the quest with puzzles in the dungeoons? And the quest where you have to get the armor?

 

[Zeliard]

Dark difficulty is loads of fun. Enemies hit brutally hard and take decent punishment so you've really gotta be on your toes when it comes to timing their swings. It also encourages you to use more of the tools at your disposal.

When I beat it on Hard I basically completely ignored Magic outside of the occasional YYYRRRDEN - largely content and able to just use Alchemy and roll dodge + sword thrust/pirouette my way to consistent beatdowns - but even in the prologue sections now I find it's much more beneficial to mix it up more on Dark.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I can't put my finger on it but the game seems to not look as good as I remember it. I need to get more into the main game before jumping to conclusions.

 

[gdt]

Umm, install went fine last night, but this morning my launcher is still messed up, so I just reinstalled using the patcher in the downloads folder. Lets see if this works.

 

[Thrakier]

So, I played it through on normal the first time and it was way to easy (except the very beginning) because of broken quen & roll. Now that quen is fixed, is normal the right difficulty or should I try harder? I like shome challange but don't want to get frustrated.

 

[madmackem]

Installing 360 now, feels like a right deal game is below normal launch day prices and you get a nice map and guide book. Cant wait to play.

 

[rvy]

God damn, CD Projekt really knows how to treat their costumers.

 

[Gowans]

Can't wait to hear your impressions mate.



We need to come up with some good spoiler warnings in this thread or some indictor or where you are in the game, maybe I'll just bail till I'm done.

Go for hard. It's the perfect difficulty. You will still need to use Quen and rolling a lot but it won't feel like cheating.

 

[Gattsu25]

Guys, I have a problem. I downloaded the EE patch last night...and it worked perfectly.

I'm going to play the game when I get off of work, today.

Don't forget about the soundtrack.

 

[RS4-]

Just started the 360 version and was surprised that they changed the section with the eagle eye achievement; I was doing it like the PC one but for 360 you actually aim at the guy instead

 

[owlbeak]

GAF! In a bind! Which version? I already own the PC version and downloaded the EE. The 360 version is calling me for some unknown reason! I think it's for the physical box and map and stuff.

I know I'm going to end up double dipping. They deserve the money anyway. Dammit!

 

[GasProblem]

I just bought this for the PC, I know I'm going to enjoy this so 35 euros is totally worth it.

Downloading this is going to take a while.

PC.

 

[gdt]

Is everyone's launcher still dead? I can play the game by digging through the files and using the main .exe, but you can only choose settings and etc through the launcher :/.

 

[Criminal Upper]

I really want to buy this today, but I gotta wait for the free review copies CD Project shipped me!

But I really wanna play it today!

But I shouldn't, because I'm getting it for free!

 

[Salaadin]

So, my PC launch version bros, what additional stuff have you encountered so far?

Havent noticed much so far. New cutscene between Prologue and Act 1.
I just got to Flotsam so Im not far in.

Can't wait to hear your impressions mate.

Dont go!

We should just spoiler everything as we normally would and maybe mark them with the quest name or something.

Buy on X360.
Sit on couch. Turn on TV. Enjoy.
Avoid master race world problems.

 

[Infamous Chris]

FUUUUUUUU my TRU Dark Edition copy is on backorder. Never buying from there again.

Anyone know where I can get a DE?

A few sites put the order on backorder right before it ships. I remember having that issue with Gamestop a few times.

Yeah I won't.

I even think quest names could be spoilery.

I would say something like by acts/location.

Pro-log

Spoiler

The Jail

Act 1

Spoiler

Flotsam

etc.

Like Mid Pro-Log Spoiler:

Spoiler

It's awesome!

But I've been sitting on my couch and playing on my TV with my 360 controller for like a year now...? I didn't know I had problems.

 

[SpideyPL]

For me, problems = low FPS, shitty textures, bloom off/on, installer fucked up, patch, edit *.ini etc.
Jesus, im so glad that i have consoles.

What does this even mean? In what way are you answering his question lol?

loooooooooooooooooooooooooool

But you do have low fps, shitty textures, and can't change the bloom (well, anything) on consoles.

Spoiler

I'll give you the other ones -_-

I too sit on my couch, play on a tv with a 360 controller.

 

[owlbeak]

What have I done?

Edit: I'm just going to stick with my PC version for now. It runs on ultra just fine anyway. The only bummer is my sound card is kind of older (Audigy 2ZS Platinum) and doesn't have an optical out to hit my receiver so I can enjoy surround sound. I'll pick up the Dark Edition somewhere down the road perhaps when it becomes available again.

Joke?

 

[Spookie]

Is everyone's launcher still dead?

I downloaded the two files (01/02 was it?) and it installs/works fine.

 

[Criminal Upper]

Joke?

If his rig is not up to scratch, I don't see how that could be a joke.

 

[subversus]

What have I done?

nothing.

nobody forced him to go into an asshole mode.

 

[gdt]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I only downloaded part 2. Time to splice in part 1 and reinstall....again.

Then your pc is crap? No pc issues here

 

[SpideyPL]

Nevermind. Simply enjoy this game.
This is how polish box of Wiedzmin 2 looks like: http://i.imgur.com/dhWNg.jpg (just arrived)

Witcher folks, I played the first 2 hours of Witcher 1 last week just to get a peek at the first game. Where is the best place to go to read the entire plot to prepare for the 360 Witcher 2?

Just Wikipedia?

Could always just watch this, explains the most important parts.
