Witcher 2 for Xbox 360

Chances are, though, that if you aren't a PC gamer you hav💯e no idea what the Witcher is or why you should even care. That's why we've put together this list of why you should be excited to get your hands on this mature, dark fantasy adventure.

1. It's no longer a PC exclusive

That's right! One of the biggest barriers of entry for The Witcher 2 was the powerful PC needed to run it. Sure, you could play on a lower-end machine, but then you'd be ⛄missing out of the wonderful graphics and amazing atmosphe𒉰re. You'd need to compromise. Now, with the Witcher 2 coming to the Xbox 360 it's no longer an issue.

All you'll need to do is pick up the game, pop it in your Xbox 360, and bam - you're playing one o🌟f the best games of 2011 in an instant.

2. It's tough, but fair

Stepping up to a fight means being prepared with crafted bombs and traps, then having the skill to strike, dꦕodge and block your way out alive with no health potions or healing spells to save you. It's not Dark Soꦫuls hard, but finding and exploiting enemy weaknesses to come out on top is a reward in of itself.

3. There's loads of sex in it

Expect offers to "do the dirty" with promiscuous locals and bump uglies with easily wooed quest give🎀rs who pay for your services with more than just cash. Did we forget♔ mention that this is a very mature game? Booobs!

4. The story is mature and stuff

Be prep🅷ared for some heavy stuff here. Also, click the bac🌺k button to see us talk about boobs again. That's mature, right?

5. You get to fight giant boss battles

It's kind of hard to be a monster hunter without humongous monstrosities to chop up, but between Witcher 2's dragons, draugs, and the giant Kayran, the White Wolf (that's the nickname of the grey-haired protagonist, by the way) has plenty to keep his hands full. Each of the boss battles are epic, 🧜memorable, and require a ton of p🍌reparation.

Your actions before these major encounters can affect the outcome as youꦚ learn the bosses' weaknesses from reading ancient tomes and taking side quests. Every one of them will take tactics and skill to over🎐come.

6. There's crafting, inventory management, skills, and all that crap RPG lovers love

Whether you have access to those items and abilities depends on how much RPGing you've done in this RPG. Your skill tree choices, whether or not you explored that dark cave to collect mushrooms, or if you even remembered to upgrade your armor back in town can all change how your game progresses. Geralt is entirely customizab𒐪le, and depending on your choices, he can play completely different from one playthrough to the next.

7. Choices aren't cut and dry good vs. bad

8. It's dark fantasy done right

9. Choices made totally affect the ending

We're not going to venture into spoiler territory or anything, but the decisions made throughout the game and at the end can greatly affect the world going forward, leaving us eagerly awaiting 𓃲the next story.

10. Multiple playthroughs will lead to multiple stories

Fairly early on in the game you will be faced with polarizing decisions. Supporting one political grou🍬p or another, saving or killing prominent figures, and deciding which side of a Kingdom splitting conflict you will be on will drastically affect the way the story plays out, changing the political climate and the overall state of the world.

You can imagine why you might want to play througꦉh the game 𝔉more than once.

11. It looks absolutely amazing

We applauܫded the Witcher 2's visuals when we played it on the PC last year, and while the Xbox 360's graphics won't reach🔴 the heights of the PC version's, they're still looking very, very good.

From the high-quality characters to th♑e beautiful environments, the Witcher 2 looks like it's going to bring some of that PC horsepower to the consoles, as shown off in this trailer for the console game.

12. The fantasy races you're used to are given a new twist

In the Witcher, these non-humans are looked down upon as dangerous thieves, mercenaries and no good drunks. These guys are far removed from their Tolkien counterparts, which makes for fa💮r more unique interactive storytelling.

13. We gave the PC version a 10/10

In our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Witcher 2 review we said "BOOBSLOLOLOLOL." We also said that the "Visceral combat, dizzying player customization and a truly immersive story all come together to create one of the best role-playing experiences of the year," and we stand by that. We loved the Witcher 2 last year, and there's no reason to think we won't love it this year, too. We're just happy that more people are going to get to experience it, since it's a story too good to be꧙ contained by just one platform.
