The Witcher 2 Review

Okedoke guys, a review for ya.

The Witcher 2 – the sequel to one of the best RPG’s in my books. Based on the books done by Andrej Whoop Whoop Bang Bang. The Last Wish, The Blood Of Elves etc etc.

Overall – the story is non-linear, as they advertised. Stunning world. Combat system is basically the same, but I like it more this time around. The game isn’t all about the combat after-all.

Chapter 1 and 2. Excellent. I loved the areas. The characters. The sexing. The killing.
Chapter 3 – a little too short. You kinda get placed right there, and then the end happens. I sometimes found it hard  to navigate around.
Epilogue – OMG THE END NOOOO.

I want more.

But overall, the minigames (save for dice) are excellent. The sexing of womens is also good. I like the story. The way the choices actually do impact (lol DA2). And the way that CDPR actually LISTENED to their player-base (insane difficulty).

Sure, there’s a rough launch. But the patch was released, and they are trying hard to appease us gamers. They practically gave all DLC to everyone for free.

Anyway, without spoilers – which is what I do. Brutally honest review. Me actually playing the game, not getting paid for these reviews. I give this a 9/10. The last chapter is a little rushed.

Happy? Yeh. Angry? No. Good? Yes.

The Witcher II: Assassins Of Kings

I’m currently playing this game.
I’d like to comment on one particular issue:
It had one bit censored for Australians, however I got mine off of Amazon, with courier delivery. In Australia on the 2nd day, at my doorstep the 3rd day. DHL worldwide. CouriersPlease locally (also owned by DHL).
But low and behold – some smart cookie has released a de-censorship patch. Go Google for it. It’s a win-win really.

I got the collectors edition. I must admit the quality of the contents is amazing. It would have to be THE BEST collectors edition game I have ever bought. You get 3 stickers, a letter, a gold oren, 2 DLC packs, bonus DVD, game guide, artbook, marble mock bust of Geralt, maybe some other shit that I’ve missed. But by far, it is really awesome.

The graphics are orgasmic. The voice acting is better, and I must give this an A+ for improvement. The story is the same quality stuff. The combat has had some overhauls – and I must admit, I like it.
The game is a challenge, however it has varying difficulty levels. I tried on hard for some of the game, and it is quite a challenge. I’m not going to touch the hardest level – where you die and have to start over.

But seriously CD Project RED are one hell of a developer. They truly listened to their community, and despite some major issues (such as the game not installing off of DVD) they seem to be doing quite well.

I’m only up to chapter 1, but I already want more Witcher games to come.

10/10 so far. Much better than Dragon Age 2

Machete

WHAT. THE. FUCK?

9/10

Anyway, on to another subject:
Watching the “Sharpe” series, just because I’m kinda playing Napoleon: Total War.
Yes, it’s a good show.

Ronan Parke

Britain’s Got Talent 2011. See his audition here.

I wont focus on his talent, as it’s quite obvious from the video that he’s probably going to win, if not – be there till the final.

HOWEVER, what I am going to write is – it didn’t take long at all for people to say he’s gay. Sure, tight jeans, maybe a little flamboyant. But bloody hell, he’s 12 for fucks sake. So he’s hardly at the point of knowing which side he’s going to fall off the fence.

Anyway, there’s a tonne of fan fan sites out there. Vote for the kid, and he’s definitely got something very big ahead of him in his life.
