The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Do you also play with non-PlayStation devices? Do you enjoy playing as a plumber saving a princess? Or some bald marines? Or maybe you want to play using the touchscreen?

i think this title is more gpu intensive, as long as you get a quadcore cpu and a mid to midhigh vc, you're good to go.

of course if you have the money for i7 quad or even hexacores, the better, sandy bridge is the best cpu right now, kahit i5 sandy bridge kaya pantayan top of the line 1st gen i7

regarding the game, combat is kind of clunky, not very tight and responsive, medyo floaty, also when hoards of enemies gang up on you, you have no choice but to employ hit and run tactics, it gets kind of monotonous after a few battles. that's a definite negative for me.

and another thing, small bugs like NPCs blocking your way forcing me to load a previous save, this game needs a patch as far as im concerned.

8/10 for me, not as perfect as the GR review made it out to be.

try using traps and bombs, use quen or other signs, try parrying/blocking or target locking the enemies as well. Playing the game like a hack and slash without preparing like drinking a potion or not oiling your weapon can make a huge difference.

I think you're not suppose to be killing multiple enemies easily. They made the combat alittle bit realistic don't you think? A strong figure can be defeat if you have the numbers behind you.

Yup, you're suppose to be doing this. Again, you're just one person. If you want to be killing enemies w/out a challenge. I suggest you play the game in easy mode. Normal and Hard difficulty requires you to use alchemy in battles.

Easy mode seems way too easy, while Normal can be quite a challenge (mostly in the beginning). They removed the fighting styles indeed, i kinda like that in the original Witcher (not to fond of the timed button presses however)

i've read all about that, but the combat is just not responsive enough for me, even blocking sometimes doesn't activate properly, 6-8 nekkers rushing at me ain't fun at all.

problem is, easy and normal are worlds apart according to other forums i've read, much better if there are party members, soloing in chapter 1 isn't fun at all while getting rushed by hoards of nekkers.

remember that blocking uses vigor points, so you can't spam that as well (kaya hindi gumagana lagi), hindi niya pino promote spamming, hindi ka na makakapag potion during combat and you cant even save the game during combat. As you progress, normal can be a bit easier when you reached higher levels with upgraded techniques, but you can try easy for now.

yeah i'll try finishing chapter 1 on normal and see if it gets better after that, for now i'm bringing lotsa bombs and potion before out questing just to have a fighting chance against hoards of monsters, 1-3 ok pa, but not more than 6 nekker warriors lol

tried tanking it out with quen spell, pretty effective, killed the endrega queens using it to protect myself
