I'm interested but I don't get excited for games. I'll probably pick it up because I did enjoy The Witcher and because I believe in supporting dev's that haven't abandoned the PC.
Not really, to be honest. The Witcher was an alright game, but had terrible pacing and a less-than-intuitive interface. Also, while entertaining, the sex card deal was, well.. odd. Let's be honest, if we want smut we have the entire internet to provide us with better boobs without having to jump through loops first. A simple google search for "Tits" will (with the safe search off) provide more than the Witcher could ever hope of. So what's the point? To show that he's attractive? To live out some weird fantasy of being coveted by women? Either way, it was weird. Fun, but weird.
I'll probably check out the changes and maybe, if it goes up for cheap on Steam, buy it. I won't spend more than 10 euros on it, though.

I bought the first game on a steam sale for next to nothing, loaded it up, played until the first sword fight, turned it off, and removed it from my computer. Easily among the very worst combat systems I've ever experienced in a game. I don't care if the story is pure Shakespeare and the graphics are hot sex, I cannot fathom playing a game with such awful play mechanics.Wabblefish said:
Anywho, I'll give the sequel a look if and only if they've completely redone the combat. If not, no thanks.
Very much so, but you wont find much love for the original game on these forums for some reason. Not quite sure why, but every time I've seen the game come up it's often hated on these forums in particular, Yahtzee's less-than-stellar opinion on the game certainly didn't help either.
Don't understand it myself, I rather enjoyed the combat! Timing based combat system with multuple fighting stances and several highly customizable magical abilities, not to mention the neat 'potion' mechanic where too many potions had the risk of killing you and yet on the harder difficulties they'd often become essential in the heat of battle, forcing you to make snap decisions on whether to take a potion that'll increase your combat skills now, or hold off for a healing drink later. Certainly more interesting than Diablo for example, a game paradoxically praised for it's combat.
And while the story took some time to build up once it finally got moving it was a damned great ride! This is called the rising action, it's a typical narrative trick to steadily ramp up the pace of the story as it builds towards a dramatic climax. That so many gamers lose attention after ten seconds without an explosion disappoints me! But condescending self-superiority aside, I love how seemingly unimportant decisions made early in the game can come back to have major consequences later on. The setting and characters, especially if you've read some of the books the game is based on as I have, are intriguing as well. Certainly not your typical witches and wizards fantasy!
Loved it!
The Witcher 2 is probably my most anticipated game right now. Everything I've seen and heard about it indicates it has the potential to not just be better than the first game, but something genuinely special! I honestly can't wait! This is the first time in... hell, years, where I'm looking forward to another companies rpg moreso than that of Bioware.

I loved this post.The Madman said:
Anyways, i enjoyed the first game. Although I never did try a second play. It was a one and done deal for me, but still very good game.
However, The Witcher 2 is not very high on my anticipated titles at the moment. I'm sure i'll pick it up eventually though.
surprisingly i enjoyed the hell out of the witcher, so yes i will definitely be getting the second one.
maybe i'm one of few who actually didn't mind the combat..sure it didn't require too much skill but since when did rpg's require such? although there was one time where i could NOT win a battle, i died easily 60 times reloading it again and again, so it kind of reminds me of ff13 with its combat, where it can be easy, but insanely hard if not done right.

I'm afraid I must complain about your voting system. "Hell yeahh!!" is significantly too small to express my excitement and anticipation for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.
Nope. PC only for the time being.Skoldpadda said:
CD Projekt have said they're not even thinking about console versions until they get the PC version out the door.
really? i swore i saw advertisements all over the place with xbox logos all over the corners for it. (im getting it for the pc but my roommate was overjoyed when i told him i saw advertisements for it to come to the xbox too)RhombusHatesYou said:
Weird is good, or at least its better than just having the cookie cutter shit that we get most of the time. IMO.Jarl said:
Good for them, they just earned my money.RhombusHatesYou said:
wow I did not know how much hate the witcher got yea combat was terrible but still it is still different then the bland mix of console games they've been releasing lately like call of duty or halo. Not like there bad games there just the same old go here kill this scenario we get in almost every game. But thanks for all of your opinions
