The Witcher 2 on Amazon Digital Download for $23.99. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Witcher-Assass...6741222&sr=8-2

Looks like a great price especially with the update on its way but I still haven't finished the first one and I heard #2 is pretty difficult so what you guys think?

Hear you pretty much gotta have a super computer to run this thing, similar to Crysis. Thankfully it is coming to OnLive, I really hope it comes to the PS3 eventually tho.

I know it's coming to X360 next year so I assume it's coming to PS3 down the line. I'm definitely going to play this sometime in the next year.

GR8 find. However I think the price will go down by the end of this year (probably $15) so I say wait unless if you want the game ASAP.

I have been wanting this game since it came out. I really want the physical copy, for all the goodies it comes with, but for $24, I may have to bite, since Target won't drop the physical copy under $40, and Amazon is almost the same price.

You can adjust the difficulty. The 2.0 update arrives next week on the 29th and also adds a better tutorial among other things.

This is a freaking awesome deal. Jump on it, folks!

Does this work on Steam?

No, it's not a Steamworks game.

Sadly, it has yet to be announced for the PS3.

It isn't too terribly difficult once you get the hang of it. But the super computer comment kind of rings true. I had to lower the resolution and turn the settings down to medium to get a steady 30 fps. I can run most games fine at 1920x1080 with high settings but not this.

The game looks fine at those settings. The real defining aspect to if the settings are good to your liking is if the framerate is steady. I get anywhere between 50-60 with most things maxed. But will occasionally get a dip below 20-30 fps and it is annoying and jarring.

Some people prefer to play the game at a locked framerate just to keep the experience fluid.

The difficulty is not that bad once you get the hang of it and level up some. It look awesome in 1080P on a 40" TV with high setting if your computer can handle it. I would highly recommend the physical copy since it have the guide and some extra stuff for $34.96 if there a frys around or if financially permitted.

Doing my job for me? Why thank you very much

Seriously though, as you can imagine, the sheer volume of great prices we have regularly on Amazon makes it difficult for me to get every one of them out to you guys...I REALLY appreciate posts like this that take the initiative to do so for the ones I miss.

That being said, I'll add this to the mega thread.

Your rock man.

I think I'll wait until I beat Witcher 1... if that ever happens...

If anyone is super into Steam achievements, the Steam version has them and they have it on sale right now for $29.99. FYI in case the achievements and play time tracking is worth the extra $6.

Buy.

This.

Game.

You literally have no idea what you're missing. Quit playing your 3Ds, quit playing lame console games, and get Witcher 2. Witcher 2 is by far the best game I have played in the last forever years. I beat Witcher 1 after playing about 1 hour of Witcher 2, went back to Witcher 2, and good God the game is perfect.

And thank god. They also removed the DRM that their publisher forced upon them the first week it was out. It's a great game, not quite as good as the first, but still enjoyable (Act II and beyond are pretty meh in terms of quests). I'd personally wait for a better price on retail, since I'm sure this will be lower during BF (the retail copy is awesome).

Great price but I have Dragon Age II and Shogun 2 in my backlog...

TW2 is easily worth $24.
Buy it, if you love RPG's and have a PC that can run it...
