Flawless, you are definitely the Minister of Information here at OS. First day purchase for me, when is this due out?

I guess I should finally play the first Witcher at some point.

Coming to consoles too

CD Projekt has revealed during its spring conference today, that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings will be heading to consoles as well as PC.

Gamespot Preview

In The Witcher 2, your companions don't hesitate to speak up, but like in the previous game, they're not directly under your control and will act to the best of their abilities in combat situations and will speak their minds in the game's dialogue sequences. The Witcher 2's dialogue system allows for banter between multiple participants at once, as well as for new characters to join the conversation midway.

This part of the game gave us a chance to see a very early version of The Witcher 2's combat system, which will no longer require the timed input of the original game and will instead be much more open-ended. The current, early version of the game lets you freely attack with your sword or perform an evasive roll in any direction--or smoothly transition from the former to the latter.

Though the combat system isn't finished, it currently lets Geralt dish out combination slashes with his sword by starting out with a few light slashes and then ending with a strong slash, similar to the combat systems of third-person console action games like the God of War series. However, the final version of the game will bring back different combat stances, just like in the original game, and let you mix and match various attacks from different styles freely, rather than having to manually switch styles. In any case, even the early version of combat we saw is brutal and bloody.

Re: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

my main beef with the first game was the terrible inventory system. I know they like redid the entire game and rereleased it as the 'ultimate' edition or something and you could upgrade it for free if you already had the game (how great is that by the way?), and im not really sure if they fixed that problem or not. It really needed like an autosort.

Crazy! I bought the Enhanced edition last night. Just got an email for Impulse sales this week at impulsedriven.com and The Witcher enhanced edition is on sale for 10 bones. Great deal, I might even get it to play today.

Re: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

That's a damn good deal.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be jumping on that deal. How about you, trob?

Re: The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Yeah, from all accounts this is a pretty good game. 10 bucks makes it an easy decision. It'll still be in queue though, I've gotta finish some other games first.
