RPG Watch strikes again. About the witcher by the way.

My problem is the fundamental mechanics of movement and combat in the game, I just don't like them at all, and I don't think that's going to change with more gameplay.

I wish they had made combat a true real time experience ie: you click= he swings, like in Gothic, rather than the pseudo real time experience that it actually is. This is further aggravated by the fact that they chose to highlight the enemies with colored rings, making it look and feel more like "point and click" combat to me. I don't like the camera either, they call it "over the shoulder", but it's actually slightly off to the side in a weird way that bothers me, maybe because I've been playing Gothic 3 lately.

I don't care for the movement either, although I think that's due to engine limitations more than actual design decisions. It bugs me to no end that you can not jump in the game. It feels very restrictive to me, especially with the liberal use of invisible barriers that keep you from exploring off the beaten path. Again, I suspect this may be amplified due to the fact that I've been playing Gothic 3.

I actually agree with this point, I myself would have preferred if The Witcher used a similar combat system, but not because it's a "truer real time experience". TW's combat system just seems kind of uncomfortable and clunky to me.

That proves he didn't once look inside the settings.

That proves he is a moron.

Don't worry, the Colts will take care of them in the playoffs.

Only if Manning or his NFL commissioner daddy decide to pleasure the referees...or bribe them. Basically what happened last year in the playoffs.

The Packers however, they could do it, in the Super Bowl at least, just because Brett Favre is a supreme badass.

PLEASE CDP - swimming,diving and secret Treasures for The Witcher2

Hi there people,

The Witcher is a real amazing SRPG and i like it very very much, BUT what i miss is exploration.
So i wish me that Gerald will be able to swim and dive in The Witcher2. Some hidden Caves, deeper Dungeons with cool riddles.
Please CD Projekt make W2 with more RPG-Adventure Feeling.

They were playing the pats dude. Do you not see the irony in accusing the Colts of cheating?

No doubt about that. What happened to NE's spy tapes? Oh that's right, the NFL had them destroyed.

I just installed and played it today, and I gotta agree, swimming would be cool, as it would be a nice shortcut when the bridge is a bit far away [heh]. But I'm drunk now anyways.

But still, "RPG-Adventure Feeling", lol :lol:
What the fuck does swimming have to do with either RPGs or Adventures?

That's not ironic. Every team in the NFL cheats, it's just the Pat's were caught...

Everyone does it. Heck, the Jets put someone in the endzone during a Patriots home game to do it to them beforehand and instead of causing a big fuss about it, the Patriots just told them to get out and they changed their signals.

Anyways, the whole "cheating" thing is pretty weak. It's because the NFL is lazy and don't actually have their players memorize different play signals ever. Heck, baseball players change them every inning.

It's pretty much a way to hit a team with no dirt on them. They all play with sportsmanship, they take pay cuts to get more guys on the team, they aren't assholes abusing their power, they aren't whoring themselves on every damn advertisement, and they play well. They're professionals. The NFL doesn't like that type of team because it hurts ratings when people have dominate teams like that. Same thing that happened in the early to mid 90s with the 49ers.

Anyway,as long as Tony "God is on my side" Dungee (seems like a nice fellow, but the whole thing with his coaching and religion is a little too much) and Peyton Manning don't win the Super Bowl again, I'll be happy. I wouldn't mind seeing Favre show all the young guys that old bucks can still kick ass, or watch Eli stomp his arrogant brother into the ground.

That's only if entire play area can be destroyed or otherwise remodelled at will. Playing a god is only worthwhile if you can rip out the planet's very core, all blue-white and incandescent, and smash your adversary upside the head with it. Otherwise, I find games where good quality steel stuff is considered high-end and more exotic materials are considered ZOMGÜber much more appealing.

Even Oblivion, which was hyped by empty promises, was better than most games, same with Fable, it's not like they are releasing a bad game after saying they are working hard on it, Oblivion had flaws but it pushed the envelope in other areas, it was probably the best magic and elves game ever made.

Playcircus is freaking gold I tell ya.

'Magic and elves game'...

I guess he missed out MotB, The Witcher and Morrowind then.

Clearly you never played Megaman 5 on the gameboy where you have to use your Power Fist on Uranus to get the Deep Digger (which Pluto, the furry boss, might be weak against).

I'm a gameman and, unlike many members of the clergy, I don't play with boys.

Also, could we please quit fucking talking about anyone's-anus?

I said "fucking", see how manly I am?
