is this game good?

@froman: The first one was awesome. Settings, graphics, sound, everything about it sttod out. The bugs were completely fleshed out with the massive patch and it became a must-play in my book. It's not that long for an RPG and I really suggest going through it.

About the console thing, my main gripe with the game could be solved in consoles: The battle system. It was just plain awkward. It led to some pretty glitchy moments of ground skiing, hit detection was messy andif the enemy moved a lot, keeping your cursor on top of it could prove troublesome. Consoley one-button-for-attacking gameplay could prove more complling, but they'd have to optimize a lot Geralt's movements in-battle. Dodging was painfully weird and obstrusive.

Either way, I will stick with the PC for the visual bliss it will bring. I like to keep my non-japanese RPGs on the PC as much as I can.

@Crunshii:Sounds perfectly reasonable. Anyone else heard about Microsoft buying EA, bu the way? o.O I find it highly unlikely, but if it did happen, things could get pretty shakey around these parts.

So long as it's not a console game ported to PC as an afterthought I think it's a good idea.

Let the petulant children have their Witcher 2.

Square Enix will publish it. BANK ON IT

Why not... you know... try it out? Get a PC?

I have a PC, but my Xbox 360 is much better. I've tried some PC gaming but it involves too much tweaking. The 360 and PS3 are capable of producing good graphics. Besides, WASD is very awkward, despite the fact the mouse is the best device for gaming. Wish they had two mice for PC gaming. That would rule.

I hope it comes for the 360. That's my main gaming platform. Risen was delayed for the 360 in North America. I enjoy western RPG's.

Looking forward to Borderlands!!

Well, I always thought of console that way, couldn't imagine using one, until a lot of games came out for only consoles and I learned to use them for those games.

You could learn to use a PC for PC exclusives too. There is no reason not to. There are so many classic PC games that never went to console you could probably game for 5 years and never buy a new release.
