Video Game Reviews of The Witcher Enhanced
Customer Review: Can't play upgrade, watch you processor
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been playing computer rpgs since SSI's Azure Bonds on the C-64 and I got the original release of The Witcher back in June of this year (I've never been an early adopter by a long stretch) and was anxious to play, but I heard about the Enhanced Version and the free patch to those who bought the older version so I held off from playing it, figuring the upgrade probably not work with previous saves and I would hate to get half way through and have to restart.
So the big patch comes, I upgrade and the game crashes to the desktop after the intro movie. After several attempts, I check the patch notes and my processor (AMD Athalon 64 XP) is now "Out Of Range". The upgrade passed me by and I can't play it.
I decided to re-install and patch up to 1.3 and simply play the original; after all I've been waiting 3 months to play this. I haven't been able to make it out of the tutorial, I can't stand the controls or the camera. I've tried 3 times, with various settings and difficulty levels but I find trying to hit any bad guys a chore and it completely takes me out of the game.
I wanted to like this game, I wanted to play this game, but I just can't get behind the combat engine.
Also check to make sure your processor still works with the upgrade, several AMD no longer work and one Pentinum.
Description of The Witcher Enhanced
Welcome to a world that knows no mercy - none is received, and none is given. Only physical and mental agility can keep you alive, though they are by no means a guarantor of life. You play the role of Geralt - an already legendary monster-slayer, but this is not a gift and is certainly not given lightly. ?The Witcher? is an immense computer game. Within its realm, you will have to assume the burden of choice. And this burden of choice, as light as it may appear, is the very thing that will both permit you to wield influence over the fate of the world, as well as get you slain prematurely.Determine how Geralt's character develops and if he is to become a swordsman, an arcane battle mage, an alchemist in skirmishes, or any combination of the three 250 skills and abilities ?What you see is what you get? system - in choosing a character skill, you either have it or you don't Character development is linked with storyline progression. Geralt comes to remember his forgotten past, and therefore his supernatural skills and abilities Numerous real-time combat strikes, hits, thrusts, slashes, and cuts plus the appropriate use of magic, potions and styles of swordplay The control system is for both experienced users and beginners. Use a combination of the mouse and keyboard, or just the mouse
