The Witcher 2

Redownloading as well...

I probably will finish Duke Nukem Forever before this one....

[Dead...Again]

WOW that is a massive patch...

I went back and restarted Witcher. I am enjoying it. I'll have to pick up Witcher 2 as soon as I finish it.

They also have removed the DRM stuff as gamershell states:

"CD Projekt today issued a patch The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings removing the DRM protection world-wide. This gives players the freedom to install and play the game on any number of computers, and no activation code is required. Other notable improvements include frame rate increases of approximately up to 30%, especially noticeable on DRMed versions and low spec systems, better stability, and non-problematic installation of free DLCs (the first free DLC, the "Troll Trouble" quest, is incorporated into the patch), the possibility of inverting the mouse and re-mapping directional control on the keyboard, and more."

Great game, meh ending. Just finished it, and not only was the ending not so good, it was very abrupt. I still had MANY items I was just holding on to for later.

Now I know and when I play it again I will know to not be such a hoarder.

I heard the ending was abrupt. I'm still a few hours away on the human side.

Hopefully they work it into Witcher 3 to satisfy those who aren't happy with it. The team behind this game is truly awesome from everything I've seen, taking a buggy piece of junk and pouring several man-years of work into it to create The Witcher Enhanced/Director's Edition, which was greatly improved in all ways. I think they'll respond well to the audience and gamer comments.

Finished tonight. Better ending than I feared based on other comments. Not quite as abrupt as mentioned by the reviews. All in all a fantastic game.

Well, everytime I want to get on with this game I need redownload it first. Why? - A new patch is out!

All previously released DLC packages are installed with Patch 1.2:
?Blue Stripes Combat Jacket?
?Ultimate Alchemist's Outfit?
?Ultimate Mage's Outfit?
?Ultimate Swordsman's Outfit?
?Finisher Pack?
?Mysterious Merchant?
?Troll Trouble?
Patch 1.2 adds a new free DLC package titled ?Barbers and Coiffeuses.? To take advantage of barbershop and hairstyling services, look for Einar Gausel in Chapter 1 of the game, Sambor in Henselt?s Camp in Chapter 2, Felicia Cori in Chapter 2 if you travel to Vergen, and Felicia Cori once again in Chapter 3.
Game saves are now compressed automatically, lowering the amount of disk space they utilize.

A number of fixes have been introduced to prevent selected NPCs from being blocked (king in siege tower, knights when destroying a gate in the Prologue, etc.).
The ?Three Sisters? quest has been fixed so that the door does not remain locked forever once the quest has been completed.
A number of progression breaks have been fixed, including instances of blocked meditation, inability to save game, and blocked combat after use of static cameras (e.g. game could not be saved after completion of the ?Indecent Proposal? quest).
The progression break during the fight against the dragon in Chapter 3 (exploration not working properly) has been fixed.
The progression break during the fight against Dethmold (whereby he sometimes remained behind his barrier, doing nothing) has been fixed.
The progression break (black screen) in the "Little Shop of Dreams" quest has been fixed.
The progression break following failure to complete the ritual with Anezka has been fixed.
The progression break during the dialogue on the beach in the ?Hung Over? quest has been fixed.

I should probably wait for the DC edition.

[Dead...Again]

LOL I think that is what I am going to do. I am tearing through Witcher right now, almost done with act 3.

[Rand{CLR}]

The saves compression and deletion options are great, since they probably eat up massive amounts of space. And I wish they had fixed save imports earlier, but I can deal now that I've finished the game.

Just waiting for upcoming DLC. I'm not uninstalling this monster until they're all done.
