Kitad: ugh, some thing really bothers me
"Unfortunately, the game [Witcher 1] was far from perfect and had a number of glaring issues. It was too difficult and too hardcore, and what’s worse, it was clearly designed with only PC in mind. It had soon become clear that if the game were to be brought to the wider audience, some things had to be changed."
I really hate it when people say this. Witcher 1 was not more hardcore or harder. Just because it was point and click, does not make the game more hardcore. Perhaps bitter fanboys want to make us believe that, but the truth is that the combat in the witcher 1 was really simple and specially easy.
Sorry to break you, but that part about the game being "too hardcore" was sarcasm. "Unfortunately, the game [Witcher 1] was far from perfect and had a number of glaring issues.

He was mocking Tomas Gops' P.R. work.
By the way, I find his review way too snarky (and in a very cheap way) and overall quite annoying.
