Holy shit what a difference. I literally beat the game 2 days, looks like I'll have to play again.
Glad the see the mod is being made official!
I haven't played the Witcher 2 yet, are all these changes for the better or for the worse?
Holy crap, that's one hell of an update. I'll definitely have to play it after this. Especially since I got my new videocard and can run it well.
I might have to try this again. The combat felt very stiff to me back when I played it, which was horrible when I'd just came from playing Dark Souls. Pretty fucking cool to see a game 2 years old getting a patch this big though!
[quote]Geralt automatically parries enemy sword attacks and deflects incoming arrows.[/quote] Awww, but that's what made it hard, although I do like that they made Geralt more responsive and now you don't need to stop to block [editline]19th June 2013[/editline] I'm also on the fence about how to pull a riposte, I'll have to test it out
Good thing I picked this up during the sale, it definitely is worth it especially with this update.
Even the dark mode update made the game a lot better. I had already played the shit out of it before that and considered it a masterpiece
Oh cool. Maybe I'll get around to actually playing it some time. :v: I love the Witcher books, but I never really got into the games despite owning them for a while. Random thought: didn't this also release on Xbox at some point? Do they get any of the patches we do?
I have both games since a while but I haven't really played them yet. I got bored of the first one pretty fast but I'll try again. If you missed the Steam sale the game is currently at 6$ on gog.com by the way.
pretty sure this is a mod and not a patch
Fuck, but I'm doing a playthrough right now. Now I feel like I should stop. Ehhhhhh I'm only on Chapter 1 so I guess I'll start over and play on easy until I get back to the right spot. It takes so long to do so little in this game. :V
Huh, looks like this might drastically change the gameplay. I hope the process of "un-learning" the current combat technique won't be too painful :v:
Wait, auto-parry and block arrows? Did they change how blocking/parrying/deflecting worked? IE it took part of your stamina each try. I haven't played in a long time since I beat it. [editline]19th June 2013[/editline] I think [quote] Riposte no longer costs Vigor. [/quote] answers my question. Might have to replay the game now! [quote] Removed bonus damage for backstabs. [/quote] hiss
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;41100194]pretty sure this is a mod and not a patch[/QUOTE] Please read, please
[QUOTE=Dantai;41100444]Please read, please[/QUOTE] I did, I'm saying the article is misleading.
If it's gonna be on the summersale I'm probably going to pick it up.
I'm little bit confused, this will turn into a real update, right? From what I've read it seems like the combat will be more solid.
[QUOTE=booster;41100496]If it's gonna be on the summersale I'm probably going to pick it up.[/QUOTE] Its 70% off (6USD) on [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/the_witcher_2]GOG.com[/url]
release date?
How come no one reads the introductory paragraph to the notes? [quote]The prominent modder, Andrzej Kwiatkowski, is currently working for CD Projekt as a gameplay designer. This mod was created during his spare time, whilst his day job was working on the Witcher 3. The update is due out within the next two weeks.[/quote]
Is this only applicable to new game saves? I am already half way though the damn game :c
[QUOTE=Medevilae;41102326]Will I have to restart my game? [editline]19th June 2013[/editline] wouldn't say 'misleading', it's a CD Projekt RED dev making it[/QUOTE] Yes it is. Calling it a patch or update is misleading. It will be released like other mods on [url]http://redkit.cdprojektred.com/[/url]
Guess I'll be playing the Witcher 2 again
Is Witcher 2 on GOG a Steam version?
[QUOTE=Akuma_lektro;41100463]I did, I'm saying the article is misleading.[/QUOTE] Yes, one of the main designers doing this and it being offered through the normal DLC channels totally makes it not official. [editline]20th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=uzikus;41107607]Is Witcher 2 on GOG a Steam version?[/QUOTE] No, the GOG version has absolutely no DRM at all and runs through its own launcher and updater.
Woah right after I said I didn't like the unresponsiveness of the combat and movement after buying the game recently they go ahead and make everything fucking wayyyyy better, fucking awesome.
[QUOTE=uzikus;41107607]Is Witcher 2 on GOG a Steam version?[/QUOTE] Every single game on GOG is DRM free.
[QUOTE=27X;41107762]Yes, one of the main designers doing this and it being offered through the normal DLC channels totally makes it not official. [/QUOTE] It's being released through their modding channel, which anyone can upload stuff, in addition it was made during his spare time. Nothing official about this.
