Preordered and preloaded.

Anyone else suckered into it?

Have you guys read the books? The novel (tetralogy?) is so-so, but his short stories are awesome. I wonder how they hold up in translation.

There is a midnight premiere in Warsaw tonight. I'm almost considering getting the bootcamp installed on the iMac I'm planning to buy, just so I can play it.

Wait, what it's out tomorrow?

I got most of the way through the first one, but never beat it. I enjoyed it, though. Might get this one when the price goes down.

Planned to back when I played the first one (well, translations anyway), never got around to it though.
Tried watching the TV series and lolled at the production values.

I could never get myself to play beyond the first scene of part 1. :blush: -_-

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

There was a TV series? Fuck's sake.

Not well.  I read The Last Wish and was not impressed.

The tv series/movie were very bad. The books are much better.

I didn't care for the first one a whole lot though I may give it a try again at some point.  Like any other game, I wouldn't get The Witcher 2 until it is 50% off or better, so not any time soon.

Monoriu

I finished Witcher 1.  Despite the relatively weak graphics and small world, somehow the game was quite addictive.  I think I'm going to give Witcher 2 a go.

I enjoyed the Witcher, but think I am gonna pass one the sequel.  Rather like Mass Effect, I enjoyed what the first installment had to offer, without feeling like i needed any more once I finished the first go-round.

Bayraktar!

Stupid pre-download corrupted.  Have to redownload.  Sigh.

Also, combat appears to be more action-oriented.  Sigh.

Grumbler, ME2 is really far superior to the first one, in plot, characterization, and combat.
