With The Witcher 2, one of the most glorious RPGs ever made, coming to the 360 soon, I thought of opening a thread on the series.

Here's a screenshot of the leaked 360 version.



Doesn't look as good as the glorious PC version, but for a game that has currently the best graphics on the market, it looks REALLY good. Anybody played this series? The first one's a bit aged, but still quite awesome. The second one is just ultimately brilliant. They've concocted a town AI behavior of the likes of which I've only seen in Shenmue and a few others, every single thing in the game looks amazing, the enemies are smart and will kill you if you're not extra careful, you can set up traps and the monsters move vividly and fantastically like real wild things, and the plot of the game is quite good, with quality dialogue and tons of stuff in it, including getting drunk and waking up in the next morning with all the villagers recognizing you as someone who tried to cross the river mounting a prostitute.

Here are a few screenshots.





And a video:

Loved the first one for its story, so much that I got the books.
Sadly, can't really play the second one with my current computer, so am stuck somewhere in chapter 2.

Try it with the new patch. It made the game run silky smooth in mine.

Waiting for the 360 version. PC ain't good enough to run at maximum beauty.

The Arena is awesome, leaderboards are honestly something this game needed, given the enemies' difficulty.

And Dark Mode is BEYOND COOL. The items you can get there are brilliant.

Do you happen to have a picture of the new Dark Weapons?

I was sure I saved an image but I can't find it. They looked pretty cool.

No, sorry. I'll post one here if I find it, though.
