Favorite Weapon - Hammer. I love KOing monsters.

 

Favorite Monster - Either Baroth or Rathalos. These are really the first fearsome monsters you fight, and the sense of accomplishment when you take them down for the first time is huge.

I love DKC.

4-1 and 4-3 were probably the toughest levels for me.

Sorry, not much time to reply at the moment, but I strongly suggest you look at a different GPU. The GTX 460 1GB (not the SE version) can be had for about the same price and is over twice as fast as the 7750.  Also, while an SSD is an upgrade I always recommend, you would be far better served going with the cheapest Sandy Bridge Intel quad-core you can find. AMD is significantly behind in terms of performance these days.

I would totally be in, were it not for the fact that it only works on the system for which it was purchased. I would hate to have a 3DS XL situation where I want to play my 3DS games at home on the XL, and on the go on my regular 3DS, and not being able to do so freely.

Yeah, the combat is a tad lacking. It's not bad, but I feel it's quite random/inconsistent. Sometimes Geralt will leap 10 feet towards the nearest enemy when I do a heavy swing, and sometimes he'll just swing right in front and miss completely since the enemy is out of range. Still, the combat is at least serviceable and there is depth to it outside of swordplay.

The rest of the game is great. The dialog is well written, choices are meaningful, and there's a distinct lack of black/white choice in the game. Love it. The game is a huge improvement over the first game. Besides the combat, the most improvement is how the game handles sidequests. They are few enough to feel meaningful and not overwhelming.

Though I've owned it for a year, I never got to playing it to recently, and I decided I'd just wait for the Enhanced Edition. Good timing too, since I just picked up a GTX 680 last week. Looks great, and runs at a 99% locked 60fps. Oh, and Flotsam Forest is the most incredible and natural looking forest I've ever seen in a game. It's breathtaking.

And yet I  put 150 hours into Skyrim. It's been so long since I played The Witcher  it's hard for me to articulate what put me off about it exactly, but at  least Skyrim has the quest arrow that let's you know where to go.  Skyrim also made it pretty clear what was the main quest line, what were  major side quest lines and what were miscellaneous fetch quests. I  recall quitting The Witcher when I lost track of what the main plot  thread even was.

I know what you mean. In The Witcher 2, there still usually is no quest arrow, but there are only a few quests and they feel substantive enough. For example, I picked up a quest to kill neckers. I had to find out more information about neckers, so through exploration, I found a guy in town that sold a book with information on neckers. I read the short summary of the book and it said I needed grapeshot bombs to blow up their nests. I found another guy that sold those bombs and proceeded to look around for the nest. All in all it took me maybe an hour to do that quest. Although it seems like little more than a kill quest on paper, it ended up feeling far more involved in the game.
