Yeah, this. Completely fucking retarded deal-breaker even.

I was watching this vid, thinking 'man, those are some p. cool graphics, and that mellow music works really well with them. Hell, this is really some cool music and I ho... WHAT THE FUCK DISTORTED GUITARS'

Also, all this rolling looks p. retarded. Hope it's not needed constantly, or I'll be getting motion sickness while playing. Those arm wrestling and fist fighting minigames also look... iffy.

On the other hand, Prince of Persia WW is proof that a metal soundtrack does work rather well in a grimdark mature action RPG.

Maybe you're right. Actually, I remember pretty neat music piece playing in modded Twitcher FCR - time of contempt. Folk/metal hybrid though. And certainly not fitting for combat.

Here however, the e-guitars felt simply out of place. I sincerely hope that's not in-game music for combat.

Also, I feel sudden need to go and troll probe Twitcher forums regarding combat and tumble-fest CDProjekt is preparing.

Well look at that, a long lost twin.

Really? I thought the music was absolutely horrible and very unfitting for the game.

The metal track in the first Witcher worked pretty well though. It was also rare enough to not get distracting, so whatever they do with the sequel I at least hope they don't overuse metal.

To be fair, The Witcher never pretended to be something it isn't, unlike... ahem, the "spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate".

Goddamn that ponytail. You mean I have to watch that swinging back and forth the entire game? They might as well have put a dangling cock and balls on the back of his head, it's so distractiing.

I am sorry , but this is impossible. People on TW forums are reasonable they criticize some things themselves and certainly wouldn't bite trollbait/

yeah, I know... I am one of them... :smug:

But seriously, there ARE pure fanboys among them, defensive about this or that aspect of the game ('combat was not so bad... besides combat is the least important part of an RPG' :roll:). I have to admit though, there are fewer of them and even they are of more :obviously: breed... which 5 years ago wouldn't be achievement at all :/

No conversations. :(

Sure is pretty, though.

You can see this same area (Verden) and mostly the same fights profiled in three developer video walkthroughs on GameTrailers. Gop narrates, and shows minigames, quests, dialog. Mostly combat still,
