i.e. if you haven't bought it and you're thinking about it, save your money. I can't play for more than ten - fifteen minutes without the game hanging on an area transition and once it's hung, if you're inside a building you're screwed because you can't use the fast travel trick to get out of it. This is the absolute vanilla, fully-patched version; no mods, no replacement textures, just straight out of the box.
I had been so looking forward to this and I've been left angry and disappointed by what is essentially a badly-QA'd pile of junk. If it wasn't assigned to me on Steam it would be up for sale at a bargain bin asking price. Actually, I'd give it away because I'd feel guilty at charging someone for something that doesn't work.

You can't load me!!!

Well, it arrived this morning. That's the first time I've ever been told by a game that 'you can't load me - I haven't been released yet!"

Witcher 2
10 September 2011 - 02:04 AM
I know I've raved about the textures and graphics in another topic, but Witcher 2 is only the second game ever to make me start again as soon as I'd finished it (the other was ME2 and I started again with ME1!). The storyline - whichever one you pick - is not short of brilliant. If you have delicate ears then don't bother with it because the language is absolutely foul in places but it's not gratuitous; it's done to match the situation. Even if you - as Cal Jones put it for The Witcher 
- "find it difficult to side with terrorists" I say that you must play both sides of the story because they are so different. Chapters 1 and 2 are the same for both storylines until you see a quest marked 'At A Crossroads - <name>"; save a game here because this is the dividing point.
I can promise that Witcher 2 Chapter 1 is not the slog that The Witcher Chapter 1 was. Despite the irritation of being shorn of everything I'd collected playing The Witcher, the tutorial chapter was enjoyable. You can import any savegame from the Iceworld in The Witcher which does have a continuity influence on some conversations.
Oh - and it's full of seriously funny easter eggs. No spoilers here!!
