The Witcher 2 looks amazing, to be quite honest, and granted it IS a single player game rendering only a limited amount of things, etc etc etc.....but the system requirements, and even the recommended ones are....leaps and bounds better to what you HAVE to have to get XIV running even remotely well....the whole engine is just not optimized at all, and feels very raw....in addition to the taxation on the hardware, things need to be done with the engine itself.
