Who isn't happy?
LOL That my friend is what you would call a proverbial kicking of the hornets nest.
Most people are happy. But there was already the ITT nonsense starting on the 1st page.
Now Joke or not some people always take the bait and threads then dive down into the usual PC Vs console arguments
Care to point the posters that are upset? This post is bad and you should feel bad
Xbox release = more joy for more people.

Can't wait for this, I was so envious of PC gamers when I saw this one.

This might be the best looking console game once it will release. I am very impressed by the 360 footage I've seen. It's amazing what 2005 techs can still produce, visually speaking. Every shader seems to be there. Lighting effects appear untouched. Some textures are paired back and that's it. Well, according to that off-screen footage anyway...

We don't know for sure, but probably. CD Projekt has said in the past, when discussing the Xbox 360 build, that the PC would receive free incremental updates leading up to the 360 release that would total the entire package of that version. They haven't commented on the situation since the last major update.
Their history though implies that they will update PC users with free content. They've done it so far for The Witcher 2, and The Witcher vanilla was updated to the Extended Edition for free, despite the Extended Edition also being sold on shelves.

Not one for research I take it? All of those things are different in The Witcher 2, especially the combat. It is a full-on 3D Action game now (in the style of Batman: Arkham or Assassin's Creed).
I thought the combat and UI were both high points, especially coming off of the first game which is weak in both of those areas.
I watched the quicklook on GB and a few other videos online, they seemed different but still seemed like a bit of a mess. Can't say for sure until it goes crazy cheap on a steam sale or gamefly gets the 360 version.

It's just not your cup of tea then. Sounds like your opinion of it is already forged.
It's more action-y than Demon's Souls. Faster paced.
Oh, it is certainly much more traditional than that. I honestly wouldn't even think to compare them. You've got towns, NPCs, quests, all of that.
Oh, wow. I was kind of expecting the opposite for some reason, like more of a straight RPG with clunky combat mechanics or something.
Either way I'm happy I get the chance to try it.

If there is one thing CD Projekt is known for is for breaking shitty contracts that are against their customers.
The superior version is of course the pc version, but I'm double dipping on this one. They need all the support they can get. Such a fucking awesome studio.
You get more traditional in the sense that there are towns and you can get side quests and stuff. I was more speaking about the combat, in that you're generally dealing with more enemies at a time, and the pacing of battles is much less methodical.
I'am not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread somewhere but during CD projekts fall conference they had a list with upcoming features for both the xbox 360 and pc version. I think we saw the first four from a list of fifteen (or something like that) and they said that they would be unveiling them in the upcoming months. So we should have some other cool stuff to look forward to too.
Oh and that's also when they confirmed that all new content that's being prepared for the console version will make it to the pc.
Maybe someone can find a screen from their presentation.

Even though I bought it day one, I never quite set aside the time to play this proper on PC ...not to mention, it made my Notebook scream at me. Decided to hold off for this version and it's looking great!
Don't even wanna see it tbh. GFX are probably completly butchered. And probably no locked 30FPS either...
But I'm looking forward for ne content of for my pc version.
It's already been shown. The graphics look fine.

I would even pay for this DLC in pc.
But I suppose we are getting it also for free, so cheers to CD Projeckt.
360 users. Buy the game!

Apparently it's essentially the PC version in medium/high detail running at 720p. So it'll look nice, and everybody can be happy, and people won't need to troll console owners.
Yeah no doubt about it.
Though it's nice to see, gives me more incentive to buy an essentially 1 year old game for full price.
Too bad though that we wont see the Mass Effect 3 / Witcher 2 face off
Have you not played it?
I have, but not to completion.
The PC version was extremely polished from my experience. Certainly more so than other, recent PC RPG releases. And CDP will give the update to PC players.
By this logic no developers should ever finish a game, especially not do a version later on with added content. God forbid. This is why we can't have nice things.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
I felt the difficulty was perfectly brutal. It's a shame they patched all that.

Here's a snapshot from CPD's even conference from awhile ago.
The Tutorial, Dark Mode and Arena were part of the 2.0 update on PC. The rest are unannounced additions that will be incrementally added to the PC release, and included in the complete 360 build.

Man that's a lot of new things planned. And here I thought 2.0 would be what would be the 360 version and nothing more..
I hope one thing they have is something set after the main endings, as the game ends on a pretty annoying cliffhanger.

CPD is a pretty incredible group of developers. People really need to pay attention to this Xbox port. Port isn't even the right word. They're dedicating themselves to making it look and play the best it can, and throwing a metric shit ton of new content in, so it doesn't feel like a super late PC port but a whole new package.
It's a PC-to-console release done right and they should be rewarded for it.
The hit-detection is kinda off, and the combat still needs a little work, I think, but it's much easier to get into than the first game. The story is very engrossing, and you can change the difficulty at any time, so just throw it on easy and breeze through it if you need to.

YOu don't even have to go on record. When the game was announced on 360 they specifically stated that any and all new content would come to PC for free.

The biggest news here is that I'm getting another 4 hours of bonus content for free. The Witcher 2 is the game that keeps on giving.
Yeah, pretty much. I don't see anyone annoyed about this, seems like wishful thinking from the usual suspects who are always trying to troll PC GAF.
