It has been mentioned in here a couple times, but I still am think I am missing something. If Quiet has the English strain and speaks english when Punished Snake is down, wouldn't that pass on to Snake then? I understand that she then left to make sure she didn't pass it to anyone else, but wouldn't Snake have it now too?

I had a license issue as well, and was able to fix it by going to Settings -> PSN -> Reactivate Licenses.

Wow, what a smooth, responsive, intuitive UI.

It actually isn't the entire game. The Witcher 2 just has 1 file that is 9GB in size and there was a 20meg change to that file. Steam doesn't patch, they just replaces the file. It is unfortunate that this file is that size, but CDPR says having the single file increases performance.

No matter what you think of the game, playing it with a controller will make it twice as good. Menu clunkyness goes away, movement is better (combat takes a small time to get used to on the controller, but since you are limited to how much can be on your bars it ends up working decently). So get that 360 or PS3 controller first.
 
Beside the controls, this game seems to have a steeeeeeep learning curve. Almost no guidance on the multi-class system (which seems to be the core feature of this game), hard to find merchants who sell the items you need to change classes, forming parties takes way more effort than it should, and macros...ugh the macros.  

For those that don't know, when you change classes it resets your action bar. There is no reason the game couldn't remember that. So you are forced to create a swap macro for each class type to include actions and what equipment to wear.
 
It is unfortunate, because I think underneath the clunky UI, lack of tutorials, and seemingly no instructions there looks to be a pretty nice FF MMO. This is one I will take another look at some time next year to see how it has progressed. But hey, at least there isn't a server swap ticket system!
