The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

[Kawe / Dave]

Indeed Goza. I know I play RPG games not for the combat, but for the quickload, which is what makes Witcher 2 such a failure of a game until the most recent patch.

Can you imagine?! A game without quickload... how are we meant to progress throughout a game... without quickload?!

Certainly, it merits the title of worst gaming experience of my life. I mean... no quickload? A good story, beautiful graphics and otherwise high levels of competence cannot offset this.

Kawe u are acting more like an emo, rather then a child..

i am not saying you are that much a nerd. But still emo. Take it easy. i apology for any word that harmed your affection. it wasn't my intention to make you ....  like this.

[Kawe / Dave]

Your assessment is wholly incorrect - this is no case of 'harmed affection', emo, or nerd; (lol wat, calling someone a nerd on these forums, gtfo) I haven't even played more than about an hour or two of the game. The case is simply that you're so spoiled it was too disgusting not to pass comment on.

[Karga]

I haven't even played more than about an hour or two of the game.

but you are so self-confident on making statements. That makes everything clear.
Anyway, seriously...
That's just how it works. Some people like it, some people dont.  There is no rule that everybody should be happy with a game.
If nobody plays a RPG just for combat, that still does not mean the combats must be boring.
Run run, make a tour around the 6 knights, hit someone, role on the floor to escape from the swing of the sword, one more tour , again the same routine until u get all of them.
PS. Lets just say I don't have the patience like i had in the past. And i easily give up on a game if there is no Quickload button.
i must also add that i hate games when they don't have the -space- button set on jump.  
edit: i added a good example

He sucks at combat

Where's the Yrden? Bombs? Throwing knives/etc?

[Grishnag]

Cause he is playing it on easy most likely that and the fact he doesnt even bother to lock on to a target

suprised you didnt link to that walkthrough that console kiddie did where  he just raged and raged and raged

the description says: Combat Scene from the The Witcher 2 Prologue. Played on Hard Difficulty. Mouse and Keyboard were used, no Controller/Gamepad.

i assume he does not use any trap because he wants to make it more challenging. (since it's a youtube video)  i used the traps on this stage which did not make a huge difference. Took me at about 9-10 tries to get how to do it.
Run run run, hit, Run run run, trap, hit, run run..
The hardest part was the 1st Dragon stage, where i was aware where to stay, when to run because the burning effects were missleading/wrong. i died a lot, and learned by heart.

The bit where you're running across the bridge? or something?

[Karga]

the bit where you and the king is walking.. You are surrounded by some flames, and u need to move slowly forward by not getting burned.

The bridge thing was more like arcade and easy. But still needed 3-4 tries.

[Daekesh]

Oh that bit, yes.  I just ran through that, killed the guards when they came and continued running forward.  Didn't have to avoid anything, really.

On hard.

[Kawe / Dave]

I did exactly the same thing, but on normal, did that shield rune and knockdown rune and slapped the guards
