It's not often I post about random stuff (lol! Only all the time!) but I came across something that all gaming fans should check out.
To give you an idea of the type of gamer I am, my PC games collection includes the likes of Quakes, Dooms, Monkey Islands, Street Fighters and Mortal Kombats...notice no RPGS games or strategy games. I'm easily entertained - what can I say! hehe.
So The Witcher 2 - my first experience of a modern RPG - it's seriously good!
This game came out last June on PC and coming out on Xbox 360 in a couple months I think. It's basically set in a medieval like times, your king is killed and you've been blamed for it. Time tO clear your name. Now mix in lots and lots of sub plots such as your love for a lady called Triss and various other tribes fighting each other, elf tribes, witches, gouls, hookers (you read that right) and much much more.
A lot of the game is searching and being an adventurer and hacking with a sword. Dialog Plays a key role and decides the course of the game (several different paths adding to the rePlay value).
The graphics are stunning! I mean it - probably the best I've seen in a game if you've got the hardware for it. I run in in 1080p with everything on ultra on my fairly new gaming laptop and it looks fantastic. I use an Xbox controller for Windows which works well. The game even shows the Xbox buttons and colours furi g fight scenes.
I highly recommend this game to anyone who 'don't do RPGs'.
Check out reviews on IGN.com or something. I'm glad the masses will be able to enjoy it soon on Xbox 360 too
