Oh Snap! Twitcher 2 Dev Slams Bioware's Subpar Graphics!

[Sad He-Man]

are those FUCKING WERE-ANTEATERS??

I think that's a new look of qunari mages:

Third one, from left to right. Note the stitched mouth.

No, finally it's a Legacy of Kain's spiritual successor!

lol I can't believe anyone is defending the Witcher's quality of writing. For fuck's sake, even the title is fucking shitty. You could argue that it didn't survive the translation into English, but I'd suggest it didn't survive the translation into fucking Polish.

God the series is just awful. It reads like a comic book written by a 14 year old who just discovered Uncanny X-Men.

One of these days I'm going to do some digging and see just what the ratio of European fanbois to shitty European titles is. I bet it's pretty high, higher than the American equivalent.

I don't know about TW. Name as name, at least it is slightly original. You may like it or dislike it, matter of taste. Otoh "Dragon Age" sounds as if it was taken from a Random Fantasy Title Generator. You know, in the same category as "Revenge of Bloodthirsty Dwarves" or "Eternal Destruction of Chaos". Nothing wrong with generic title - if the game itself is good which isn't the case of DA. Many good fantasy rpgs had retarded names in the past. However bringing this subject in context of TW vs DA discussion, as argument against TW, is not the smartest idea.

Romances taken straight out of 5€ romance novels + awkward 3D animated sex scenes in underwear = mature.

Characters that just casually have sex with the main char who is kind of a celebrity in his world + tasteful hand-drawn pictures of nude girls = immature teenage fantasy.

RIGHT SIR

They're both there to titillate horny nerds. Bioware romances are more in-your-face and retarded, but the Witcher sex cards aren't actually mature, if that's the point you're making.

No the word you are looking for is pretentious.
DA's romance is pretentious at least the Witcher embraces it's titillation.

"Nice tome of Eldritch Lore, wanna fuck?" is not pretentious.

 

[tehRPness]

Six of one, half dozen of the other. The Witcher games aren't noticeably any better (or worse) than what Bioware has recently put out.

This. It's all fucking shit. They both rank below the top 50 of best arepeegees evuh, so who the fuck cares.

TW gets points for not being cookie-cutter and in a generic setting, but that's about it. Fuck your titcards -and- your gay romances.

 

[misha]

the great evil undead army! u! as the chosen on who will save the world... oh almighty champion! - this is DA, its so original and fresh...
-about ripping sb ideas - elves as servants and exiled beings [NOT supreme smart, high, awesome] was in witcher first.. then i DA..
-about 'polacks'... nah discussion to such statement is like bath in a filth, some ppl got it in minds and i dont want to touch it
-Witcher got it's disadvantages, tho u wanted to see what will be at the end, and if in DAO wasnt any team-combat-with-active-pause i wouldnt finish it at all

"elves as servants and exiled beings [NOT supreme smart, high, awesome] was in witcher first.."

It was in D&D first,, not to mention other stuff. TW didn't create the idea of slave elves, you dumbfuck. there is NOTHING original about TW. Besdies, the GAME TW did not create anything since its based off a fukkin' book. DA may have a lot of typical fantasy crap mixed togteher but it is an original work. FFS

If such words, as r00fles, wtf, omg exists quite well in this discussion, plus a variety of pearls like: motherfucker, douchebag etc which ofc help to communicate "properly", it is very interesting that "U" is THIS bad baaad letter which destroys the peace and golden contruction of language used on this page

 

[Black Cat]

Witcher was a p. good game and can be listed among motb as one of the best games in recent gaming history.

MotB's is a good game (i.e: Has good gameplay) now. Okay. Whatever.

Thanks for the info -I used to be only a reader and I am quite new in the matter of posting here. [so greetings like "douchebag" are.. ]

as for NWN2 add-on
MotB's has a good personal theme - there is something wrong with you and despite of the others you want to know whats that [similar to BG]. in DAO.. well; if i recall it properly... 'you' as the main character [besides of everything connected with the 'forces of darkness'] was very angry on loghain that he escaped; personal topic was sth like "i am claimed as the bad guy and i have to show them the truth", yawn.. in BG and MotB you could use the bacground of story [1)bg: become a slayer 2)motb: use the power inside you not only as curse but also as tool]

MotB has good gameplay?! :shock: That was irony, right? Surely you don't mean the god attrocious simplistic combat. Other than that I do like it though.

 

[Sceptic]

Jesus fucking Christ not this shit again.

There's more to gameplay than the combat engine you know.

(in before mondblut)

 

[misha]

it is BASED it's not a copy.. Salamander organisation is a creation of developer not Sapkowski. Read the saga then talk.

The Witcher was an amazing game. It had that "commonplace" feeling/atmosphere similar to Risen that made the game for me (I enjoyed Risen immensely for the same reason and due to orgasm inducing combat system). The 4th chapter (the one in the village with the wedding) was the most memorable for me: none of that "save the world" or otherwise retarded "CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY!!1oneone" bullshit, just simple people, simple problems and difficult to decide on, morally ambiguous solutions.

Also, the 4th chapter had a quote that describes the game perfectly (depending on your earlier choices, you could get a different conclusion to the wedding quest): "I am a witcher. I solve human problems. Not always by sword". Fuck, I spent much more time playing detective, psychotherapist (no, not psycho the rapist), alchemist, professional dice player, drunk and debaucher than swinging those swords.

I also really liked how most of the consequences were delayed with regard to your actions. It really made the save/load abuse impossible (I'm guilty of this in most RPGs which have C&C).

@ Mrowak

That was entirely the point, Mrowakun. Calling it a good game, and more so one of the best games in recent gaming story, when its gameplay is absent without leave and its challenge non existant is kind of a stretch, I would think.

But then the same would happen if you were to call The Twitcher one of the best games in recent gaming story, with combat being a dumbed down QTE (and that's saying something) and all challenge dissapearing after the first act, so you are left with an easy simple game with some dorkish plot and less C&C than most dating sims out there. Jeez, best game of the century! 11/10, etc.

Maybe it's the porn cards, on one, and the deep and touching story about that soul eating wall or whatever that shit was about, on the other one.

 

[Leimrey]

This is why women should stick to the kitchen.
