Personally, I think this game is getting far more hype than it deserves. If you're looking for a good RPG I'd stick with Dragon Age 2 imo. Mainly because of 2 very simple reasons I'll keep [as] short (as I can) in explanations: 1. Graphics. I have a very good box. 12g of Ram, a pair of Nvidia 580s and 4 3.6cores. Now, the fact that the game looks rough around the edges tells you something. 2. The story. It's awesome but the problem lies within the gameplay, and the lack there-of. The beginning of the game is almost intolerable if you're looking for action. If I had to watch one more cinematic/game scene I think I might have based in my screens. The combat feels very hack-n-slash and it's so bloody repetitive.
Is it a good game? Yes; but it has so many things that take away from the experience it just bothers me. I played for an hour and gave up on it. Hunted comes out tonight and with the FPS & racing games I have I'll be happy.

I totally agree with this XWolf. The game just didnt deliver what it was hyped up to, for me atleast... I play'd it a few days, finished it and laid it to rest - aint gonna install it again thats for sure - would much rather go back to DA2 or ME2.

The Witcher 2 does have its own flaws, but to say that DA2 is better? In graphics, Witcher 2 definitely beats out DA2. It's gorgeous. As for the storyline, DA2's story is a lot more bland and predictable. Furthermore, if you said Witcher combat as "hack-n-slash" and "repetitive", then what is DA2 combat? It's even more repetitive and definitely worse when they speed up the combat to crazy ninja speed.
