Well... The combat, as much as "consoly" as some people here see it, its a huge improvent over TW1. That was a boring "click" fest and nearly nothing more. Now YOU can actually make combos and react to your enemies, instead of watching Geralt being awesome by himself. That is an important thing if you want to keep combat as a core part of the game, as it waas in TW1. And the people that dont like this so much, can play in "casual" and enjoy the story, so everybody is a winner here... MHO.As for the looks, the game seems fine by me. I bet surely theres still room for improvement, like the blood seeming a bit like ketchup (wether they do fix it or not, we shall see 
). @Slimgrin, I dont think that nitpicking details according to your taste of how an RPG should be "stylized" is a way to choose canceling your order or not, really. Moreover, are you gonna tell me with a straight face that you'll buy and play Dragon Age 2 but cancel TW2? I mean, you complain that the "hurt alarm" is Call-of Duty-Cheesy, but what about the "signs" that informed about Geralts wounds in TW1? Those were not cheesy? My point is; In every game, even in the ones you consider masterpieces, there are little things that may not appeal to you but you choose to by-pass, because you like the game so much in its core elements...And last but not least, for the Demo-interview: I find that it was so little time! You got dozens of other companies that have so much time for showing their unbearable games! I'm sure they charge a lot of money for the minute or second, but that is more the reason for going with a more enthusiastic approach (I dont know if Tomasz did look tired, but he kind of looked too "relaxed" when the thing you want to do is drive the hype up). Or at least, if you were so limited by the time, you should 've prepared a more epic part of the game. Im sure it's a difficult thing to find a balance, because you dont want to spoil the game or show your best sutff either. But if you want to take advantage of being in the spotlight in Gamestop, being watched by people that arent precisely following the game status as we do here, you could have shown smthg more interesting, like the huge boss-battle against Draug, the metal-machine general, or Geralt romantic scene with Triss, or the hanging scene in the town.., All scenes that have been spoiled already, but not everybody have seen them, and indeed those scenes do a far better job in catching the attention than the footage that CDProject showed... Just my worthless 2 cents, dont want to come across as a smartass know-it-all or anything... Edit: Just another thing... It's not that I find TW2 to be a "perfect game". Not at all. Some of the choices made to develope dialog worry me, as do the forced quick-time events, and if I really think hard I maybe find one or two other things which I wont enjoy so much. But weighing the pros and cons, I find TW2 has the potential of being one of my favourites of all time. I guess I'll know when I get to play it...
