ArnoldJ.Rimmer: had the game for a while now.just waiting on a graph card delivery and i`m ready to power up the new rig and install.
spent a few days here making a nice log of all the tips n tricks people are posting,one thing that became evident real fast was it needs a lot of tactical thinking which is what makes or breaks a game for me.

though even with a 5 page long tip sheet i know i will pox it up first time..lol
but i have my 8 yr old lil girl to help with the hard bits ;) [providing i can turn off the tits n swearing that is]

If the next patch doesnt include the GoG exe or the new rig cant cope with it,i will also have to buy the GoG version and kill a months bandwidth,as it really does speed the game up.

Then again these days £50 is worth it if the games a jewel.

ebbandblow: what graphics card are you planning on running this with? one tip is to turn off UberSampling if you chose ultra settings, it cuts my FPS in half with it enabled with little visual losses
I have a pair of HIS HD 6870 iceq x coming today.

Read a few bits that the game doesnt like dual cards so might just install one.
Listen to the poor excuse for an explanation from this Phil dude :D

Imho, he almost manage to communicate a thoughtful explanation but he is stopped short by his moronic view on how a 2011 game should play. And then he continues to spew foulmouth garbarge. Sad loser...

This dude is *filming* his monitor! He is obviously not able to handle a simple software like fraps, so how do you expect him to grasp the epicness of a Witcher game?
I hate to say it, but I think he trolled most of you guys successfully - who really cares? The negative reaction to his videos is actually lining his pockets.
Wow, didnt we win World War 2 so we wouldnt still have Facists telling us what to like and not to like? Talk about fanboy rage. Everyone has a right to their opinion, there is no right and wrong. Not everyone is going to love Witcher 2, it is a great game but your stupid if you think its going to be as big as the Second Coming of Jesus. I feel bad for some of you guys that want to rage on people with differing opinions, considering when Skyrim comes out Witcher 2 will have serious GOTY competition.

Nothing worse then facist gamers who nerd rage on everyone who even hints there might be a flaw.

Well said. I could not have said this better myself.

It's one thing to make fun of the guy (he is really being childish), but to react with death threats is completely out of line. Especially with the replies on this board and the Youtube comments.
Hmm. I think the nerd rage belongs to the poster of the video.

cbarbagallo: Hmm. I think the nerd rage belongs to the poster of the video.
I agree. But it belongs to those who chastize him too.
He is childish and its obvious hes frustrated because he enjoys Western RPGs (DA, ME, etc) but his opinion is still valid, but its always nice to know Facism is still alive and well in the modern world. Makes you wonder just how many little nerd hitlers are running around ready to murder anyone who doesnt like the game they are a fanboy of.

Also Nerd Rage is anger over other peoples opinions that differ from your own and not being childishly frustrated at a game your not having fun with.

That guy just plays the game wrong so he sucks at it and there for he has no fun. Those are the facts, if he can give a opinion about the game why can we give our opinion about HIM? Your the bloody facist telling me what i can tell tho who! You try to sound like a wise/nice guy but your douche and a hypocrit there is my opinion and you know what? if you disagree thats fine but it still gives me and evryone else the right to comment on the retards video.

ebbandblow: @ArnoldJ.Rimmer

haha i know what you mean man, i almost got stuck in that sort of phase when i started playing witcher 2 because i was not familiar with the combat. but if you just reduce it to a pile of crap in your mind then thats how your experience will be the whole way through. i was committed to learning the different styles of combat and what worked and what didnt and eventually my frustrations turned into awesome fun time haha. just with the visuals alone i probably would have still liked the game if all the battles were just QTE's haha

don't get too caught up in TACTICS.

For most part just think of this games combat like you would REAL life.

Getting surrounded by multiple people - Bad idea
blindly swinging your sword - bad idea
getting hit in the back by enemy - hurts a lot

Besides that, its all up to each individual person on how you personally want to play. You can set traps, block, use wind to knock down stun enemies, use fire to start em on fire, you can throw bombs that explode, you can throw bombs that set up gas in the air and then use your fire to explode it

Before battles you can drink potions to enhance what things you would like.


As this video shows, you CAN'T just run in and think you can beat 6 guys and half armored by just swinging away non stop. But really would you do that in REAL LIFE, and live to talk about it?
ROFL ROFL ROFL. He's dying on easy? That's insane! How can someone be so bad? I couldn't finish watching the video. I don't understand how someone who has played games before be so bad. But on top of that, an imbecile, that's pathetic. That's definitely on easy setting. Has to be, they barely block and he's complaining?

Also when I commented on Witcher 2 on another forum, I referred to Assassins Creed as the RPG for wussies and the brainless. How ironic.

see we can handle complaints that are legit.

but this is like a kid going on the basketball court and bitching about the hoop being 10 feet tall when he is used to playing on a 8 foot hoop.

if you want to play on your 8 foot hoop, then go do it. Let the real men play on the 10 foot hoop. he is saying the game is bad because its a 10 foot hoop. NO its not BAD, its DIFFERENT.

Wow what a retard. Guess what? Hitler didnt think he was doing anything wrong either. Grow up kid, you sound really stupid and you just make a fool of yourself. He was playing the game wrong in YOUR opinion not in reality. The only facist around here is you and the other idiots who insult and make death threads to people who disagree with you. Its people like you that make the world as screwed up as it is.
While the creator of that video did come across as a bit of a muppet he won't be the only one having issues with combat, you only have to look at posts here and on other forums. The targeting is wonky and the controlls are unresponsive, it's nothing that can't be fixed but to completely dismiss the problems and blame players is mindless fanboyism of the worst kind.
