THE WITCHER 2 is upon us!

[made]

Or more precisely, a preview copy is upon polygamia.pl

Apparently it's the entire first act so I'm sure their impressions will follow soon. So far they've been mostly wrestling with the installation. They do have a couple vids and some screens, like Geralt's new face:

*fap fap fap*

 

[Jaesun]

Goddamned polish language.

 

[Thoric]

Nice job on the face. It's like the first game's cinematic intro.

Goddamned polish language.

There's nothing worth translating yet as they just started playing. Their copy of the game itself is in English, as you can see.

Ahh ok. I just saw polish language, and ragequitted (butthurt detected).

 

[Lesifoere]

There's certainly a lot of supposedly straight Codexers getting hard-ons over Geralt's face, here.

They've updated their journal with more screenshots. No more vids to avoid spoilers (ie. game probably runs choppy).

It's acceptable to be gay for Geralt. Just like for MCA.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

And your best bros. And people you feel you can trust. And people you really like. And when you feel like it. BUT IM NOT GAY I TOTALLY LIEK WOMANS

Bloom.

That's cute.

Od razu widać, jaką przewagę ma Wiedźmin 2 nad konkurencją, głównie zaś najnowszą, czyli Dragon Age 2. Z każdą z tych postaci mogę porozmawiać

"You immediately see the superiority of the Witcher 2 over the competitors, in particular the most recent competitor, Dragon Age 2. You can talk to all the NPCs"

 

[Captain Shrek]

Brothers, they got me .

I ordered the PE from GOG.

 

[Kalin]

The Witcher 2 mostly seems to be a replica of its prequel. Still, I will most likely procure it by means of magic portal, finish it once and then proceed to complain about its simple quests and unrefined dialogue options.

Should be fun.

 

[a budda]

looks like it needs a proper gfx, he says laptop 5870 can't run 25fps at medium

and that there's a lot of morally ambiguous choices right from the beginning
lot of cutscenes too

no save, checkpoints

 

[a budda]

can't say the textures are amazing, asshole didn't even bother with turning aa on

but fucking textures... hope it's some medium setting, why the fuck do we have to suffer shitty textures in this age

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

He has 25fps with fraps running.

 

[Storyfag]

Opcji do wyboru było kilka, ale nie pokażę ich tutaj, bo były wśród nich spoilery. Dość stwierdzić, że jedna z nich spowodowała użycie umiejętności "zastraszanie", o której nawet nie wiedziałem, ale która podziałała znakomicie.

Czyli Geralt tym razem ma jakieś umiejętności społeczne? No super. Zastraszanie, perswazja, może nawet jakieś uwodzenie czy coś... jestem zdecydowanie za.

"There were several [dialogue] options to choose from, but I won't show them here since they contain spoilers. I'll just say that picking one of them caused me to use the "intimidate" skill, that I had no idea existed, and thath worked perfectly.

So Geralt has some social skills now? Just super. Intimidation, persuasion, maybe even some seduction or something... I'm all for that."

 

[tetsuo]

He has 25fps with fraps running.

wtf with these crappy settings?the preview vids looked way better,
urgh that doesnt sound good, or maybe polish gaming journalists cant afford a proper pc for testing?

Lolz a budda going mental in the comments. Normal saves are obviously in.

They're playing it on a laptop, God knows why.

Goddamnit. I hope they at least place the autosaves intelligently so you don't have to go through the same fucking cutscenes/dialogue sequences over and over before big battles (assuming any of them are difficult).

DA2 was absolute console-geared shit, and they still let you save anywhere you wanted (one of the few positive points).

Now they have screenies of the (consolized) inventory and skill trees. Supposedly you can't master all the trees and have to focus on one or two. An example of the dialogue skills:

Mała errata - można zapisywać grę, tylko nie przez menu, a skrót klawiszowy. F5 i brzdęk. Uff

"An errata - you can save the game, just not using the menu but by pressing a hotkey. F5 and we're done. Phew."
