      Note that these are the same trailers that were previously released exclusive to Gametrailers, Gamespot, and IGN.

      Also: The Witcher 2 rocks why are you reading this comment and not playing?

          I'm feeling the ridiculous urge to tell everyone how great this game is!

            it's kind of crazy how such a small developer can put out such an awesome game, while other major devs put out utter crap, lol DA2.

      LOVING the game, its everything id hoped. And its HARD! I love it when Normal actually is balanced not as easy.

      Ok could run better but damn, this thing is future proof.

      Its the new Crysis!

        The game runs fantastic even on modest rigs. What are your specs and what fps are you getting?

        There's been a few threads on fixing bugs that cause horrendous performance loss. For example, if you're an nvidia user, installing the latest drivers and removing the 3D Vision drivers does the trick. For ATI, disabling crossfire worked for many.

      So, I have a question for the Shack community:

      I am interested in playing the Witcher 2, but I have not played the first one. Would you advise I grab the enhanced digital edition of the first one and play it first or just jump into #2? Would the first one hold up 4 years later or would it end up putting me off of the series?

      Advice, please?

        I would say play the first one it really is a great game that should not be past by fans of RPGs, Also if you do decide to get the first one don't give up on it right away. It took me a little while to get into the game and learn everything but it was worth it. Not to mention you can get the first one for around 5 dollars if you just look around a bit which is an absolute steal.

        Play the first one IMO. It's a pretty long game though, so if you're the impatient sort, good luck.
