Looks passable. Certainly better than DA2's laughable texture work.

The Witcher is the only game where characters felt real, according to the world they are set in.

The graphics are looking really good this time around and I can't wait to see whether the biased gaming press ignores or compares the fuck out of this and Dragon Age 2, visually and gameplaywise.

A poetry mini-game? Really?
Just seems like they expanded on that part in chapter 4 where you complete Dandelion's rhymes to talk to that ghost. At least you can skip it by going to the succubus yourself?

EE was free for owners of the original anyway so I'd get it soon after release (assuming it won't turn out to be shit but I doubt it)

I think I speak for all Codexers when I say that TWitcher II will be the best game ever.

Entirely debatable, but I'll concede that TWitcher II will be the best mainstream RPG of 2011.

Naughty Succubus? :/

You'll be pleased to know that Succubus and Incubus are the same demon, they only change appearance based on the preferences of the being being seduced.

Your ignore list.
Run Geralt run.
The farmers got the gun
The wife has the oven hot
And you're the one.
So run and run
So you don't get served with a bun.




I made this one imagining Geralt boning a hot housewife which happens to be part of a conservative community that condones such activities, and then as Geralt flees from the scene barely holding his pants up a bunch of angry farmers are seen trying to chase him down. I thought it was fitting

If they condone it why would they be chasing him angrily? Hmmm...


"Tell us how you really feel. Why is it shit?"

Sequel to a shitty game equals shitty.

Not buying until it's $5 unless it is a radical improvement from the original.

It might be by and far the only Action RPG worth bothering with this year once the Platinum edition with averagely better writing for non-Potato speakers and the worst bugs fixed gets released.

The Witcher II is written in English instead of being written in Polish and then translated, like the first one.

"We have a native English speaker on the team, so while the game is being written by Polish writer(s) it's being implemented in the game in English."

K that's all right. For a moment there I feared they'd translate it from English to Polish. xD

my memories of playing witcher 1 (i think will be the same for witcher 2)

1st hour- another fucking insomniac.... shit, does acme fucking make these guys----- note to developers---- the nameless one--- from PST was the greatest insomniac ever done, cloud strife from ff7 was probably the well written and coolest, and kaim from LO is just a pimp (the 1000 years of dreams diaries are the best written pieces in any video game ever made)--- everyone else is shit

5th hour- geralt is cool, the setting is interesting- like the ideas, this game has balls, no black and white, only shades of grey

10th hour- the combat is really shit though, feels like diablo- yet somehow diablo done worse- the game is counter intuative, really annoying, the item screen, the INSAT-MATIC spell and potion maker is stupid. interest is waning

by chapter 3-4. interest lost- bedding hot women should have more of an appeal but watching blur porn, without a hot coffee mod makes it pointless. i cant sit through 2 more hours of fdiablo to get another cut scene, the pacing is all over the place, geralt has lost all pretence of going after that arab fucker who killed all them peeps, he just seems to fucking wonder endlessly

uninstall

lasting memories- so much potential. feels like a big part of the games charm can only be understoof if you read the book and speak polish- maybe a AAA title in polish, in english its generic as fuck, alot of the choices lose their value with the terrible voice actors delivering really badly translated work

i feel like i did after playing arcanum--- the game could have been great, and has sparks of real fucking genius in there, but stupid design choices ruin the experience

witcher 2 will have to do alot to convince me
