Another good game to be released soon May 2011.
Nice graphics,it's like Rome:Total Empire but you have the character to play with magic(go wizards!).
-
WTB!
-
Like Rome Total War... but it's an RPG? :P

wat?
WAT?
its fucking nothing like rome: total war
how do tell is it like Rome Total War do tell please? cause its a PC exclusive?
fuck thats like saying apples are like oranges
FUCK I MAD
that bieng said i am realy looking forward to this game loved the first witcher... allthough it had some issues with boring combat which they say its fixed
also its one of the games that you have to make choices but the choices dont affect the game untill you played it for several hours
small example that i remember from the first game: is like a group of elves (they are terrorists but you dont know that yet) tell you they are bieng opressed by the humans and are stealing some supplies, they tell you its mostly medical supplies but it also has weapons
anyway if you let them take it a few hours in the game you find someone you know in the game murdered by the arrows that were in the supply
-
I'm also struggling to see the rome total war link.
-
I loved novels The Witcher is based on, but first part never atracted me. I think it was just couse of bad combat system, or maybe i just didnt gave game enough time.
-
Should be fine now, that's my imagination!

Belive me, that dude wrote all those insults in really crative way, i can imagine it being actually quite hard to translate to other languages. I mean, i never even heard some of em, like old polish language etc. But yeh, i liked that Sapkowski noves were quite realistic (if you can call magic and etc realistic) and brutal, not like those fucing hobbits walking thru forests and not even thinking about raping some cutsy elf.
-
Bump, game out soon and im defnitly looking forward to play it. Im sure story and lore will be top notch, but not only that, damn that graphic and enviorment

that looked amazing
this tuesday cant come soon enough

Ah The Witcher 2! First part was really good, no idea why I never finished it :/
I saw on some other forums that polish 'playboy' published photos of the main female character (nude ofc), it appears that including sex content to the games is pretty popular in gaming industry lately.
The photos are 'interesting', so i'll just leave them here, and delling can remove them if its against forum rules. Have fun bois ;d
Triss Merigold @ Playboy, Poland, May 2011

There was one pic of her with, I assume, the witcher's hand on her. It looked really, really creepy.
-
Im quite suprised that mainstream magizine like Playboy decided to put this on their front page. I dont mind sexual content in Wiedźmin as long as it will fit the story and lore, and i wont be sexually harrased by gay mages (like i was in DA2).
-
She's obviously been photoshopped.
-
this game is so pretty if it were alive i would fuck it
i havent finished the game yet but so far i realy like it
the combat seems rather clunky at first but the thing is you cant just run in to things and start pressing your mouse button the hack things apart you will get raped in no time
having to use all your tools available is a good thing
the story seems rather complicated... sure it starts with you bieng falsy blamed for killing the king (spoiler alert not that you dont get that information after the prologue)and you have to clear your name while going after the real killer but there seems to be more to it then that
now i allready mentioned the graphics bieng pretty but i will say it again this game probably has the best graphics since crysis and whats more is that even on the highest settings the game runs smooth like butter (unlike crysis at the time) the screenshots you have seen? yeah the game looks exactly like that
anyway this game is good and if you want to buy 1 and only 1 game this year you should buy this one
providing you like RPG's
-
I run it on full settings... except for the 'ubersampling'. Destroys my fps!
-
did turn that off cause i heard the same so havent tried it
other then that everything on full
-
Dear god this game was so good! Would have liked it a bit longer, like 1 more chapter or the longer final chapter, not disappointed tho. Games very pretty and for once you feel like you can actually influence the story, which you do.
[spoiler] I guess the assassin who tried to kill foltest at the end of witcher 1 was also part of School of Viper, but Letho didnt mention him once, nor did the game.. Or did I miss it?[/spoiler]
-
he was he did mention his name near the end of chapter one if im not mistaken
oh and the end smells like a sequel hook to me and thats not a bad thing
-
Yeah this game is pretty good. If they'd improve combat some more for the next part, that'd be splendid. (I'm playing on easy to avoid combat frustration due to unbalance mentioned in reviews).
I'm running it at medium settings, and unlike Crysis which runs perfect on max settings, Witcher2 runs "just okay-ish". What CPU/RAM/GPU & resolution are you running it on, Grishnag?
-
nice story, bad gameplay !
-

I basicly run everything on max except ubersampling as i said earlier in this thread
CPU: i7 920
RAM: 4 gig of ram
GPU: HD5870
i actualy had to look up that shit cause i forgot what kind of CPU i had in there
Anyway uploaded an image for the settings og the game
-
Same here, except x1200.
-
Nice, I raised my gfx settings now, too. The game still runs with the same FPS while now looking even better. Damn nice. No clue why the games autodetect rates my system as "shit".
However, I now get crashes-to-desktop frequently when talking to guys in cities. Hrng.
-
Yeah, it "auto-detected" my system to medium... Maybe it tests with that ubersampling on?

Games autodetecting settings seems frequently awful lately. I wouldn't put much trust in that kind of thing.
-
Finished the game, following the "Special Forces"/Roche branch. Really really good, best RPG since ME2.
Also, best lighting and depth of field I ever saw. Hopefully Skyrim will look that hot, too.
It's pretty crazy that chapter 2 is completely different depending on whether you side with Roche or the Scoia'tael (in hindsight, the Roche branch I chose happens to be the more interesting one, go lucky me!). A slight "lol" on the supposed 16 different endings thou - having read a FAQ after finishing, all game branches seem merge in the same ending.
While playing, I was a bit confused about all the side characters mentioned (Yennifer, several kings/kingdoms) that actually aren't in the game. I assume those all appeared in Witcher1? Putting so much weight on the backstory, it was a bit meh there was no summary of Witcher1 to explain that shit to newcomers like me.
-
There was none of that in witcher 1.
-
(in hindsight, the Roche branch I chose happens to be the more interesting one, go lucky me!)
i did the Iorveth route and i thought that one was rather good myself might have to do the roche path aswell
also Yennifer was his lover (if you payed attention you would know that :P ) in the books (havent read them but i know that much) and the other kingdoms come from there too
thing is it feels like the game should go on for more then the chapters you had in the game
-
Just finished playing, but I get the feeling they rushed to story at the end. Each chapters gets progressively less side quests. Also the pace of info/what happens in the main quest lines increase a lot.
Nice game to play, but I agree with grish.thing is it feels like the game should go on for more then the chapters you had in the game
-
the worst gaming experience in my life.
The combats were hardly enjoying.
No QuickLoad button, thousand times of dying, waiting..
nice story is nice. But, gameplay should be far better. Template animations during fatalities, boring ! Stupid idea i think..
-
I die a lot in this game and there's no quickload = bad game? I've not heard that said seriously before. Really though, the worst gaming experience of your life is the Witcher 2?
How spoiled do you have to be to get to this advanced a stage of lacking appreciation?
-
The game is not hard. I'm playing it on hard and I die maybe once every few hours at most. Hardest bit in the game I've gotten so far is the first boss, which took me 20 or so tries.
Tip: If you die, press escape quickly. You can access the load game menu quicker than waiting for the 'reload last saved game' screen to appear.

wait the kayran? or... i forgot the name but the assassin?
-
Yes, the kayran. Forgot about the assassin... is he before the Kayran? He was easy at any rate.
-
the assassin was after... and i had more trouble with him then the kayran
-
I had some bombs. He exploded.

did u really get that idea, from what u read. or are you just trolling ?
the game is bad because of a lot of issues. the game is not hard, what hard is, is u don't get where the dragons breath is landing, u don't see how to dodge it. But if u die a lot of times, u learn by heart!
This is not clever, this is not entertaining.. i hardly found the game clever.
But as i mentioned, the story and storytelling is perfect. Which is good for a book, movie, comic.. But does not save a bad Game Design
-
I die all the fracking time as well, but I have no issues with this, I chalk it down to me being bad. From what I hear the combat gets easier in Act 2 and 3 due to having a lot more abilities/talents and stacking mutagens.
The Kayran fight did make me quite angry haha, took about 20 odd tries to do :-[
-
I chalk it down to me being bad.
I can vouch for this.

you cant see where the fucking head is pointed towards and that you dodge to the sides? yeah you just bad
-
No QuickLoad button, thousand times of dying, waiting..
Just read it's being implemented soon in patch 1.3

27. Option to fist fight woman praying at a statue in Vergen has been deactivated.lol
-
Well, the graphics were showing the point safe ! Which is also a lack in programming.
i let a friend play the game, who did like withcer 1 a lot. But he was in the same opinion...
bah, forget it..
i underestimated the fact that every game has his buyer.
sorry to point out the minuses.

All your 'bad game design' stuff seems to be related to you dying a lot to stuff you don't know how to avoid. I've not encountered anything that u can't predict, yet.

cause it was a terrible post?

totaly not his fault but the game that it doesnt shove a QTE in his face to avoid it (allthough there are some)
im not denying the combat didnt have its faults but atleast try to dodge and parry
oh and press alt to lock on a target
-

what does this even mean?
-
after i nights rest i read it again
anyway i think he means that the breath was wider then the actual graphics
-
I agree there were some flaws in this game (like mentioned not so good tutorial and more imporant, rushed story in last chapter), but to call this worst gaming expieriance in your life? Im sorry, but are you retarded?
-
Yeah... a decent tutorial would have been nice.
-
the tutorial in the journal menu was to hard for people?
-
Yes.

i did not say, "this is the worst game ever"
i said, "the worst experience in MY life"
i am not English,but i still know the difference. u should've read carefully..
I rarely play games, depending on positive comments in websites. Especially when they say it's kick-ass, it increases my expectations.
Even though the game had a very nice script, the combat system was not entertaining, a confusing targeting system, there was too much of repeating Close-up animations, there was no QuickLoad button. for a bad game, i wouldn't mind. But for a high budget, the best RPG ever, i think a great Script is not enough to claim the "Best RPG ever" LABEL.
bah, i am repeating myself. if u get used to troll, and u enjoy insuling me by saying "Retard" just because i didn't like the game you fell in love with, i am ok with that.
i know none of you are kiddies, u are nice guys.
-
you fail to read carefully yourself and then call people out on it
wrongfully i might add
also reading that it seems you werent able to find the alt button
also whats your obsession with a quick load button? i havent used one in a single player game to date and i doubt im gonna start using them now
-
Sounds to me like you died too much.
-
If you want the best rpg ever, go play Planescape Torment. The Witcher is nothing compared to the Black Isle stuff.

Karga:
Yeah this game is pretty good. If they'd improve combat some more for the next part, that'd be splendid. (I'm playing on easy to avoid combat frustration due to unbalance mentioned in reviews).
Every review I read said that the combat in the game is unbalanced/not that much fun/frustrating. I played it on easy because of this, because I don't have the time for nor take enjoyment from shitty hard combat. Also, the 1.2 patch, which I also used, might have fixed the difficulty problem. At least for me, the game was ridiculously easy, simple button mashing would 2-3shot everything and most enemies were unable to harm me.
You don't play Witcher2 for the combat.
-
New patch!
Just did the new free DLC and the reward item is.. :o
-
Indeed Goza. I know I play RPG games not for the combat, but for the quickload, which is what makes Witcher 2 such a failure of a game until the most recent patch.
Can you imagine?! A game without quickload... how are we meant to progress throughout a game... without quickload?!
Certainly, it merits the title of worst gaming experience of my life. I mean... no quickload? A good story, beautiful graphics and otherwise high levels of competence cannot offset this.

Kawe u are acting more like an emo, rather then a child..
:)
i am not saying you are that much a nerd. But still emo. Take it easy. i apology for any word that harmed your affection. it wasn't my intention to make you .... like this.
-
Your assessment is wholly incorrect - this is no case of 'harmed affection', emo, or nerd; (lol wat, calling someone a nerd on these forums, gtfo) I haven't even played more than about an hour or two of the game. The case is simply that you're so spoiled it was too disgusting not to pass comment on.
-
I haven't even played more than about an hour or two of the game.
but you are so self-confident on making statements. :o That makes everything clear.
Anyway, seriously...
That's just how it works. Some people like it, some people dont. There is no rule that everybody should be happy with a game.
If nobody plays a RPG just for combat, that still does not mean the combats must be boring.
Run run, make a tour around the 6 knights, hit someone, role on the floor to escape from the swing of the sword, one more tour , again the same routine until u get all of them.
PS. Lets just say I don't have the patience like i had in the past. And i easily give up on a game if there is no Quickload button.
i must also add that i hate games when they don't have the -space- button set on jump. :P
edit: i added a good example
-
He sucks at combat :(
Where's the Yrden? Bombs? Throwing knives/etc? :)
-
Cause he is playing it on easy most likely that and the fact he doesnt even bother to lock on to a target
suprised you didnt link to that walkthrough that console kiddie did where he just raged and raged and raged
-
Cause he is playing it on easy most likely that and the fact he doesnt even bother to lock on to a target
the description says: Combat Scene from the The Witcher 2 Prologue. Played on Hard Difficulty. Mouse and Keyboard were used, no Controller/Gamepad.
i assume he does not use any trap because he wants to make it more challenging. (since it's a youtube video) i used the traps on this stage which did not make a huge difference. Took me at about 9-10 tries to get how to do it.
Run run run, hit, Run run run, trap, hit, run run..
The hardest part was the 1st Dragon stage, where i was aware where to stay, when to run because the burning effects were missleading/wrong. i died a lot, and learned by heart.
-
The bit where you're running across the bridge? or something?
-
the bit where you and the king is walking.. You are surrounded by some flames, and u need to move slowly forward by not getting burned.
The bridge thing was more like arcade and easy. But still needed 3-4 tries.
-
Oh that bit, yes. I just ran through that, killed the guards when they came and continued running forward. Didn't have to avoid anything, really.
On hard.
-
Oh that bit, yes. I just ran through that, killed the guards when they came and continued running forward. Didn't have to avoid anything, really.
I did exactly the same thing, but on normal, did that shield rune and knockdown rune and slapped the guards
