Can't wait for this, been putting it off for long enough, and since i will likely have a new GPU by the time this patch appears, i will be able to experience the game in its full glory, which is what i did with the first Witcher game which improved greatly after release.

Also wish CD Projekt RED the best of luck with the Xbox360 version, will recommend it to as many people as i can, as they are one of the few "nice" developers that i actually like, which isn't like me

lol fanboyyy that me

kudos to all u said i just hope to have a proper cf driver so i can play this game for the 3 time with ubersampling

Will be optimized for gamepad? FFS GOOD NEWS!! i stopped playing this because of awkward gamepad support. it is unresponsive. this will be and EPIC RPG after this.

[Redemption80]

Think that is just the 360 version, don't think think the PC version is getting changed controls, unless i'm just reading it wrong.

i dont want to be rude but gamepad over mouse and a keyboard for an rpg?

[UnclePappi]

its more of an action rpg so its forgivable(gamepad). using the menus is a pain with the pad though i prefer it for the combat

[Redemption80]

Yeah, i'm likely to do what i always do and just use mouse k/b and pad at the same time.

Unfortunately, Witcher 2 is one of those games which is mainly based on quick realtime battles/actions. A controller is a great addition..

Hard to believe?, pick up either your friends Xbox 360 controller and check it out.

(if not, then you could try a PS3 controller and use drivers found on the net to do so, I suggest 'motioninjoy' PS3 controller drivers for this)

I recently tried a PS3 controller to my PC at home and I was very happy with the results (with Xbox360 controller emulation).

try it out....

Also works great on titles such as Assassins Creed, Devil May Cry 4, etc..

i try it on dead space 2 and could not get use to it at all, i have a g500 mouse with a g19 keyboard and witcher was awesome, but the menus where a pain in the ass

And witcher 2 rocks on my Mechanical BlackWidow(Ultimate) keyboard and Imperator(2012) mouse .

But still, I really liked playing the game with a controller.

Yes, it will be released along with Xbox 360 version release of the game.

I am waiting for the additional content too, its gonna be great.

[Redemption80]

Looking forward to it, as for some reason The Witcher games are the only RPG's that use this theme that i have any time for.

Might do some marketing on their behalf to some of my 360 owning friends as well, and i know one person who will absolutely love their collectors editions.

[zer0_c0ol]

Looking forward to this, and nice to see CD Projekt RED keeping their promise to keep support the game, even nearly a year later, they are also old fashioned retail fans like myself.

What can you more say about CD Projekt Red. A dying breed of trustworthy developers that deserves a lot of respect.

[PhazeDelta1]
