I'm not done with my review yet, I'm working on something else at the moment, but the review will be published by Thursday at the latest.

It's a really good game, though. It has the depth and personal relationships that KoA really lacked, and while it starts out a bit tough, by level 8 the fights are easy to manage, even if it's 4 or 5 against you. By the first major boss fight, fighting should be a piece of cake. By the time that the enemies level enough to sufficiently be a challenge again, your character build should be pretty solid, and you should have the spells down... The beginning difficulty really does have me doubting that I'll go back to play it on the hardest difficulty, though (the pc version has an even higher difficulty that locks your save when you die, so every time you die you have to start over completely, by the way).

@Chaind Insanity- there was an option to change the font if you don't have an hdtv at the beginning... Doesn't it work?

I think it's a great game and well worth 60$ . Everyone has their own opinion on games and different tastes though to



Not saying it isn't worth the $60, I just think I should have waited or put it towards something else, like Max Payne thats coming out soon. I think my problem is that I may not be as into RPG's as I thought I was. I enjoyed Skyrim but this is on another tier of RPG's.

I have to go along with Chaind Insanity's gripes about the missions and quests being put up on the map. I was working the mission to where you confront the drunk ass bridge troll, took me forever to find the guy I was suppose to find. I don't want a game to hold my hand, but if I am in the same area as the dude, or quest point or whatever, I would like to know, and not keep being told to keep going.

But, I am going to keep forcing myself to play it, I think this game to me may be the same as Oblivion or Mass Effect 1. Took me quite a while to get into it, after forcing myself, but once I finally found my point in the game I couldn't put it down.

But then again, I have a newborn and haven't been able to play it and be 100% focus into the game as I would like to be. Whenever I get to be focused I may find out I love it.

Yea I agree on how some quest tell you where to and some don't. Then again it also gets you to explore more then you would. I've just been really into almost any kind of RPG since FF7. Skyrim was great but the battle system is the only thing I have something to complain about lol

Yeah, RPG wise lately I've gone from Skyrim to Mass Effect 3 to Kingdoms of Amalur (which I had the most fun with) and now to Witcher 2 so it's definitely DIFFERENT, but I also don't ever think that's a bad thing, just need to get some more play time in to judge it completely, however the fact that I WANT to put many more hours into it is a good thing in itself since I lack patience :yes:

I bought this a few days ago, but still haven't had a chance to play it since I think I'm going to return it at work and go grab it at Gamestop (Since I have a gift card). I'm not sure if the UPC's are the same, so I don't want to risk opening it then not being able to return one or the other. It looks pretty epic though, I'm pretty pumped to play!

The writers are going to be trying whenever possible to merge reviews with the "official" threads to avoid confusion and clutter on the forums, so that's what happened here, lol. If this doesn't work, we won't be doing it again. :D

The review is on the first page now, for anyone who wants to read it! Feedback is appreciated!!!!!

I like this new merging and from what I've played so far of the game I'd have to say your review is pretty spot on, everything you complained about I've complained about myself and vice versa :rofl: the game started to get great after the first 2 hours or so when I finally got acquainted with the controls and the smaller intricacies of the game. Having a blast with it now and I'm still only on Act 1.
