Dude, just be thankful you get it on your console. If you cant enjoy the game as it is, just go back to your Fable! You are the reason console players get a bad name, so stop complaining and grow up!

Geralt or Rivera.?

Priceless.

What is next-hand holding,spoon feeding, interactive tutorials, hilarious.

Assumptions, the console gamer will be to dumb and unwilling to research the Lore, unwilling to invest time and explore, what’s next button-awesome connection, win button, potions during combat, flashing arrows, fast travel, maybe junk instant sorting button.

This gives console users a bad reputation, really they are able to read the word RPG on their box, some of them don’t think that Mass Effect2 is the pinnacle of RPG’S despite being a great game.

Stupid article just trying to get hits. Reminds me of another article I saw on what needs to be modded in skyrim, before any info was even released. Gimme a straight port no kiddie cut this cut that. No compromises cdprojeckt. The demo 360 version shown at e3 got me pumped. Bout time we had a challenging, mature rpg on console.

^this.

Also, the pacing? Seriously? Do you think all console gamers are 10 year old black ops kids?

I’m just into chapter 2, playing with a 360 controller and haven’t had a problem with the control scheme once so far. The skill upgrade screen is a bit awkward to navigate at first with its hexagonal nature, but I soon got used to it.
An optional tutorial might be a good idea for some console gamers. With “optional” being the operative word. I can only speak for myself but I don’t really enjoy those “put a low tunnel here, so we can teach them how to crouch” sections in games.
Finding the alchemy and potion screens were a bit confusing at first (HINT: You need to meditate), but all in all it’s pretty close to console ready as far as controls go.
I hope they don’t adjust the pacing. If people want all out action, there are plenty of other games that have that territory firmly covered (especially on the 360). Each chapter lasts longer than a full campaign from some console games (eg Gears 2, MW2), which makes it feel more episodic. Almost like a series of games (5 or 6 chapters I believe, not including the deluge of DLC that will surely come its way.
Heck, if I’m going to blow £40 on a single-player console game I want to get as much enjoyment out of it as I can. If certain players want to rush through the main quests though, thats an option already – no tweaking needed. Just ignore the side-quests. I, on the other hand am the kind of gamer who spent 80 hours (or more) in Mass Effect 2

…. You seriously think they’re going to change the game that much? HA. You’re going to get a port of the PC game… which received superb reviews, so stop thinking you know what’s good for the game.

One thing half of these things are totally BS – THE GAME IS BASED ON BOOKS, you simply CAN’T have 10 signs instead of 5 because there’s no 10 signs in TW novels, Geralt have to be White- haired mutant, known as The White Wolf. IF YOU DIDN’T READ THE NOVEL – DON’T PLAY THE GAME.

You think it’s too slow paced w/ dialog at points?!?!

It’s an RPG!!!

Have you ever played Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy or Xenosaga, etc. etc.

Plenty of console games “slow sown” for dialog. Not every game should be Gears Of War.
