I'm hoping to get an iMac later this year anyway how 2 follows this

My mid-2010 Core i7 Macbook Pro meets/exceeds the recommended specs, but I'm betting it'll still run like total garbage.

The sequel is virtually entirely self-contained. There's an intrinsic assumption that you'll remember Dandelion, Triss, and Zoltan from the original game, but this doesn't affect the plot.

I was going to say that I liked the rhythm based combat in Witcher 1 more than the lock-on mess rolling orgy in 2, but then I remembered how formulaic it was with the stances.

Probably the biggest area of improvement for future installments.

Oh shit, yeah this thing is out now and Steamplay enabled! I had purchased the game during a Steam sale back when I had a PC, and low and behold: The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is now showing up in my iMac's Steam library under Mac Games.

Fuck yeah!

EDIT: So let's pretend that I've never really gamed on my Mac before, but I do have a 360 wireless adapter left over from my PC days. Is there an easy way to get that thing working on the Mac, and in games like The Witcher? I don't mind spending a few bucks on the Mac App Store if that's the easiest way. I have PS3 controllers too, but I'd prefer 360 if there's a way to make that work. Anyone know?

any chance for gamepad support on mac?

I'm not sure if the game even had native gamepad support on PC.

okay since its $10 I might as well test out these minimum settings on my old macbook

if this runs smooth my Xenoblade pre-order is going to be dust food

 

[JaseC]

$10 for a stellar ~70-hour WRPG is a steal.

Defs picking this up. Sick of only playing Starcraft 2 on my MacBook Pro and it looks like they might port Witcher 2 somewhere down the line!

Spoiler

unlike the Xbox360 not getting both :/

I still like it more. They're both pretty dumb in this regard though.

As for the Mac port, I hope some kind of sorcery is involved because the first game runs like a dog. On modern hardware you get about the same performance out of the sequel, which is kind of gross.

 

[Zuly]

I'm downloading it right now. I felt like re-playing this game; its timing could have not been any more perfect.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Sorry about the bump, but any word on how the performance is with the latest updates? I'm considering playing it, but if it's going to be bad, I don't even want to bother.
