CURRENTLY PLAYING (Admittedly rather late)- The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (2)

First of all - I'm so sorry that I haven't posted much recently, I have been really busy and I honestly just haven't had the time to type something that I would deem good. (So sorry! ♥) But I'm back with a post about my thoughts on The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. The last time I did a post on this game I think I had just completed the tutorial and started the prologue. I liked the controls and I mentioned that the game reminded me a lot of the Dragon Age games. I don't intend to include any but just be prepared that THIS MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS! Just in case you still haven't played the game and want to!

This time I have now completed the prologue and Chapter 1 - (I think... maybe not). My first thought on the game is that specifically during the prologue I felt a little bit confused as to what was actually happening, I'm not sure if this was because I haven't played the first Witcher game or because I may have missed something crucial during game play but I couldn't quite grasp exactly what was going on.

The prologue was Geralt going through the events that led him to being imprisoned. It was only until the last memory that everything - almost - made sense! (for me anyway). Basically Geralt was accused of murdering the King but it wasn't him. The aim of the story is to find this 'Assassin of Kings' hence the title.

So now we start our mission to find this assassin. I won't spoil the story here of who you meet and what you do but obviously this is when the story gets interesting and you really do start the game. From here you can either follow the main quest or follow some side quests - I chose to do a few side quests - simply because I was still getting used to everything - and then I followed the main storyline which was to ultimately kill the creature - The Kayran. Which is basically the 'boss' character of Chapter 1.

And that's really it, I've defeated the Kayran and that's basically where I've left the game for now (it took me a few tries to kill the Kayran - I needed a rest... heh!) So far I am really enjoying the game, like I said it reminds me of a mix between Dragon Age and Skyrim  and the story is intriguing me. I will type up some more when I've played more of the game.

I hope this post was okay, I'm still not sure how to type up this kind of post. I just wanted to post something because my blog has been a little dormant this past week (again sorry!). I haven't forgotten about my 'Take on a Bake (Off!)' posts - I'm hoping to do this weeks bake by the weekend. (The past two that I haven't covered will be done at the end!) I'm also hoping to reviews on the new Doctor Who series! Eeep! But anyway thank you for reading - I really really appreciate it! *hugs*

Have a lovely day or night!

CURRENTLY PLAYING (Admittedly rather late)- The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Okay, okay, okay, I know this game isn't exactly new, but I've only just got around to playing it and I thought it might be fun to type up my thoughts of the game and tell them to you guys. (That was a really long sentence sorry)

So like I said this game has been released since 2011 on PC and 2012 on Xbox 360 and up until now I have never played it. However with The Witcher 3 being released earlier this year and it looking pretty cool, I wanted to get this game and have a see what its like. I'd also seen it in my recommended games on Xbox so I thought, why not? And here we are. Its probably a good thing to mention though that I haven't played the first Witcher Game as I simply couldn't find it at my local gaming store. #sorry

Today I literally JUST started the game, and by just started I mean I've just done the tutorial and a little bit of the main story (I think). The tutorial I thought was pretty good, it wasn't too annoying and I actually felt better for doing it. (I don't know sometimes I just feel the tutorials on some games can drag a little, but this one seemed just enough). I like the controls but I'll need to get used to them and the combat elements seem okay to me for now. Combat in the game reminds me so far of Dragon Age as does the circle menu. If anything there is only one thing I don't like so far and that is the process of potion making, only because it feels like you go through one menu into another. Maybe its just me. Other than that this game seems awesome and I can't wait to play more.

And that's it! Sorry this wasn't the best of posts regarding the game, I don't really know where to start with these kind of posts but I appreciate you reading and I hope you enjoyed it! Just as a warning, the next time I type up about this game it may include spoilers, so just in case you haven't played the game yet and would like to I'd just say be prepared.

Have a awesome day... or night!
