And if it were only about supporting the dev, then yes, buying it from GoG would definitely be the way to go. There are, however, other considerations, such as how much money I want/am able to spend on the product. It's not like buying some bootleg copy off a guy on the street and saying "I bought it so I'm good". If CDP didn't want people buying their games through other channels than GoG they could choose not to sell them elsewhere, and the fact that they didn't shows that they must be okay with people buying it on other services. Sure, it's better for them if people buy it on GoG, but what's best for them is not the only consideration here.

I guess I just care about the industry more.

 

Forgive me for not basing all my decisions solely on what's best for the developer, and selfishly taking my own resources and such into account. :rolleyes:

 

Hey! You know what would be REALLY good for CDP? If you just sent them a check for $5,000. I bet they'd really appreciate it, and you'd be supporting the developer EVEN MORE!

So the patcher wouldn't work so I just downloaded the EE version from GOG and uninstalled the old version, I figured that'd be easier for reinstalling later anyway. It seems the revamped lighting and things aren't in the PC version which I find confusing.

 

Eurogamer is confused too. "Update: We've now updated our PC build of The Witcher 2 and note that many of the 360 enhancements - specifically pad support, lighting and visuals - appear to be unchanged based on an initial playthrough of the Prologue. We've approached CD Projekt RED for comment."

Performance seems like it took a hit (definitely did for me. Jerkier and less than 30 FPS whereas before I got a solid 30 FPS). Folks on GOG are postulating that it's coming from the Depth of Field blur that seems to be more exaggerated in the Enhanced Edition for some strange reason.

 

This is weird and all. I was planning to plunge into the game again as soon as the EE was released but I think I'll wait for a while for the dust to settle. Everyone seems to be confused at everything right now.

I'm early into Chapter 1 [doing side missions] and enjoying the game. I'm only playing on normal but can already see what some people were talking about difficulty. I'm only playing in normal and once in a while I find myself surrounded by Nekkers in the woods and could easily get obliterated if it wasn't for Quen.

 

Anybody know how Quen gets better in the enhanced edition? I haven't upgraded Quen yet, but I can only get hit once before it disappears and I am forced to go back and recast it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the Witcher 2 CD Key if you have the Steam version? There's no option to view key when I right-click on it (@FDS I didn't buy it on steam, it was gifted to me). I'd like to get the backup copy.

Try going here: http://www.thewitcher.com/backup

 

Say Digital, No proof. They'll ask for your steam profile to be set to public, and your profile name. Then they'll get back to you.

 

Just got mine within 24 hours. Of course I bought it. But I doubt it'd make a difference. They just wanna know if you have the game or not, probably...

I can vouch for that working. They just emailed me with a new code this morning.

Yeah by this play-time amount in the Witcher Geralt had fucked everything that moves. I'm enjoying the tie-ins with the novels [i read them in spanish] so I'm all

 

"Hey! I read about that!"

 

I wish there were more creatures in the game so far though. And yeah I'm playing on the 360. I think I've done every interesting sidequest about now, just recently made myself a cool hooded armor.

 

It's funny how the game difficulty greatly depends on how many enemies are attacking you. If it's a few the game is ridiculously easy. Add a couple more and it's "DODGE SHIT DODGE, SWING ONCE, SHIT BITCH DODGE DODGE!". Really enjoying it though. I'm hoping there are more hooded armors in the other chapter. I love the look of Geralt with hooded armor.

Well this is my first playthrough. If it wasn't for me hearing how tough this game is I would have started on the second hardest difficulty, but since I have and have died a couple of times already I am playing on normal. I don't get bragging rights, but it's weird how it fluctuates from easy fights to that one battle that utterly obliterates you.

 

example: creatures hurt my health WAY too much. I fought a couple of ghosts/spectres with swords and they could kill easily kill me in 4-5 hits if I wasn't careful.

My steam copy won't start... it just shows me the popup/small window that says: Updating the witcher 2: Enhanced Edition. then "Ready to play in approximately: 0 seconds". The bar is full. Play Game button is greyed out.

 

Anyone got this? Or got this for any other game?

 

Also, when I backup my witcher 2 copy, it never has the install executable (steam backup). So I wouldn't know how to reinstall it.... weird..
