[VibroKnife]

Full controller support in the menus. Been playing the tutorial for the past 10 mintues and can't use my controller.

What controller are you using?
My ds4 works flawlessy

EDIT: you selected "gamepad" in the game option menu, right?

I had been trying to use that but it would not let me select controller for no reason.

After I was pissed enough I just started jamming on the keys and the controller and somehow selected gamepad and it works now. Not a very good PC port.

What if I told you that The Wicther 2 was originally a Windows PC only game and every other version is a port?

Then mind explaining why the 360 come out on April 17th and the PC version May 17th?

Ever heard about years? May 17th of 2011 and April 17th of 2012.

The Witcher 2 was originally a PC port. It released for PC in 2011 and got a 360 port in 2012.
Mind telling us what's the point of arguing when you're so lazy that you can't even look up something as simple as that ?

And yes, it does have a full controller support. I played through the game twice while using a 360 Batarang controller.

If you're experiencing any kind of problems then use GOOGLE. The internet is there to serve you. It holds infinite ammount of information and yet you can't even use Google to find out when the different versions came out ?
Note that you're the only one having problems with controllers meaning that it's not the games fault but that the problem is at your end.

I have problems with some games too. I ALWAYS use GOOGLE to solve them. I usually fix all of my problems in 1-5 minutes. Use Google...seriously. Every bit of information is avaible to you but some people still decide to whine instead of actually trying to solve their problems...Whining on hubs won't help you.

You probably could have fixed your problem by now if you Googled the issue instead of whining in here.
I'm sorry but someone had to say this. There's too many kids (not saying that you're a kid) out there blaming the games while the problems are at their end...and Google is also a mystery to them.

To settle this:

First they made the console version and put it onto a shelf. The whole game stinks of consolitis which is more than enough proof.
Second they made the PC port. A bad and unstable port.
Third they released it as PC-only to get hype and attention.
Fourth they released the console version off the shelf after a year.
(Fifth they ported the port to linux producing the worst linux port in gaming history.)

Reasons:

Small company, needs hype if it wants to survive.
There's no GOG on the 360, so they need the good will of PC gamers first. Probably it's not the witcher they're making a living of.

Yeah, you settled nothing, I don't know where you got your information, but it is wrong, unless you actually have something to back up what you said.

1- Yes they designed the game with a gamepad in mind, doesn't mean it was a port. In fact the combat in Witcher 2 is far more complex than Witcher 1 which is a PC game only
2- The PC (Windows) version was far from "a bad and unstable port", and again it wasn't a port at all.
3- There are 2 reasons for the delay, one being legal issue between Namco and THQ over distribution rights of the Console version, and 2 they wanted to take the extra time as well to polish up the game even more for the consoles.

We have decided not to withhold information and to tell our fans immediately of the Xbox 360 launch moving to Q1 2012. As we have stated many times before, The Witcher 2 for Xbox 360 will be an adaptation and not regular port. The extra time will allow us to polish the title to perfection, so that the game offers an ideally balanced, fantastic experience to gamers. As the launch of the game approaches, we will be sharing more details how it will be released on Xbox 360. I trust that despite the release date shift, players will be satisfied with what we are planning for them.

and you can google much more.

As you can also see they stated that the Xbox360 version is not a regular port but is an adaptation.

Also more information about the "Porting process" they went through to make the Xbox360 version after they completed the PC version:

http://www.makinggames.de/index.php/magazin/2155_porting_the_witcher_2_on_xbox_360

The Senior Programmers and the Lead Technical Artist from CD Projekt RED explain in great detail how they managed to port The Witcher 2 on Xbox 360, including changes to the animation system, memory optimizations and the adaptation of lighting.





After finishing development of The Witcher 2 for PC we had exciting and frightening work to do for the Xbox 360 adaptation. Frightening, because only a small fraction of the team had console development experience. And exciting, because the team was hungry for a new set of technical challenges after the PC version wrapped.

More information about the porting process fot the Xbox360 version in that article above the stated quote.

I have a rock candy (360) controller works without a hitch. Plugged it in and was good to go so yep have to agree with them it has full controller support. Also the game was made for pc and ported over to console later on you should do your homework before making false claims.

PEBCAK.

I'm getting freaking tired of console ports. They're buggy, grahically ugly, and they fail completely to address most of things I care about.

I mean seriously, we stopped using DOS 20 years ago, let the damn command console GO already!

What's the point of your comment ? This is not a console port!
Oh and btw, not all console ports are buggy, graphically ugly and don't fail in any aspect.
But this game is not a port! Do some research or read my previous comment!
Gosh the kids nowadays...know what i'm getting freaking tired of ? I'm getting freaking tired of ppl who talk ♥♥♥♥ about things they don't know and haven't done research about!

Everything you said is a lie and only your own speculations. Speculations that can be proven wrong in 10seconds by using Google.
Good luck with spreading lies tho!

All I can say is I'd hit people who lack sense of humor all day. Sorry for not quoting everyone one by one.

I am pretty sure he was being sarcastic, talking about the command console that are in some games.



Lolcat on the other hand had some wild speculation that was not based on any facts at all, and yeah, I did prove him wrong with 10 seconds of searching.

It's sad that you have to explain that.

I think so many people have an axe to grind over things on the internet that they can't see the words in front of them.

For the record, I made this thread. I don't really think you could say I'm the type of PC gamer to ♥♥♥♥♥ about this sort of thing.
