I don't know if I should cry or laugh at the Bioware fanboys who think that DA is a really mature game. THAT GAME IS ABOUT GAY DWARF SEX FFS!!!

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.

Oi. The lighting in Twitcher2 disturbs me deeply. I hope one can turn that shit down a notch.

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.

Isn't this the Codex? Why are people debating trivial graphical differentials? And yeah, I say trivial because when you've played shit like...

...then yes most of the differentials today are trivial. Will Witcher 2 be a better game than DA 1 or 2 or whatever? Debatable especially given how underwhelming Witcher 1 was despite it's legion of apologists.

I don't... I don't know... I don't even know how to start interpreting that.

Oh, it's easy. He thinks a game where you fuck gay elves is more mature than a game where you get collectible cards for each lady you fuck. Little does he know that

they're both juvenile

Yeah, 'cause DA was a totally original experience. Absolutely nothing derivative or tired :roll:

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

Oh good, I'm glad someone else noticed. I was wondering for a second if my mind was twisted.
