Although I found TW2 to be good too, I will agree with the sentiment that the first Witcher is by far the best Witcher.
Anyway, what annoys me is knowing that the press has seen so much more of the game in exclusive demo sessions and we are left waiting for CD Projekt to finally show some actual footage, which they seems to hate doing based on their speed so far.
I think showing to the press had reasons we gamers might not immediately appreciate, for instance: they were involved in a recruiting drive at the time, to get the people they need to make the game, also to get the media on side early which was a new approach for CDPR who don't have the media pull of their competitors.
I've said it before, I am more than happy with what we have got so far by way of info - I don't want spoiled - the forthcoming comic, a few vids about the War / Witchers, and a gameplay vid to appease us all closer to release is all we need.
As regards TW1 & TW2, Vivaxardas speaks for me too... #1 was a great game - an amazing entry for a new company, but #2 is simply something else entirely. The tightness of its narrative, its courageous attempt at unique gameplay, and its incredible replay value set it apart from every other game for me.
I've started & finished that game more than any other, and i've been playing games for nigh on 30 years.
