Regardless, I have to agree with him, based on those screenshots it does look very Skyrim-esque.

Scandinavian mythos...Norse viking mythos.
Not trying to be a dick, but...what's the difference? Time period? I can't think of any other way these two could be meaningfully different.
I've finally started The Witcher 2 and I basically hate it. The combat is atrocious, really really bad. I much prefer the rhythm-based twist on the traditional RPG combat instead of the garbage, shallow, consolised button-mashing combat of the sequel. That's not to mention how the game was supposed to be PC-first but is built entirely around the gamepad and has stupid QTEs. I really can't understand the love that this game gets...is it because its DRM-free? Or is it because it has an above-average story that it gets the royal treatment regardless of how shit the gameplay is.
If The Witcher 3 continues in the same vein than I don't care about it.
Hint. You can disable QTEs in options. Also play above Easy difficulty. Removes button mashing and forces you to use your brain in combat.
You can only disable "Hard QTEs", and I am playing on Normal. Perhaps I am spoiled by Dark Souls, but the combat just feels like complete shit, even with roll-spam and Signs thrown in. There is no way around that.

Oh good, Plague hating ANOTHER game. The week is young.
Doesn't Plague hate every game at first? I recall him posting that Dark Souls was overrated and garbage as well until he put more time into it.
And if he thinks the combat is basically button-mashing, he should try the Arena and see how far he gets.

I've just started playing 2 again (never finished it), but I seem to keep running out of steam at Flotsam. I try to like the combat, assuming that when I get better at it I'll like it more, but it's just not happening. Although I'm not sure how you can think the "rhythm-based" combat in the first game is any less shallow, whether you prefer it or not (I do). But 2 reminds me too much of Arkham Asylum, and I hated the combat in that game, although at least I completed the main story.
The QTEs were an inexcusable addition, I'm glad to hear they're going away in 3. But I expect I'd buy 3 regardless.

Haha, yes, he does hate every game. Bitter old man.

I prefer Skyrim's combat to this, seriously. I'm not even trolling.
Considering dark souls is a straight console port through and through, it makes you wonder how he justifies making this statement about the Witcher 2 controls/combat "the garbage, shallow, consolised button-mashing combat of the sequel."
Lets not get into how TW2 looks a metric crap ton better then dark souls.
