Arguments like these are why we can't have nice things. Why can't we enjoy both or one of these awesomely promising games without ripping on the other?

Its the internet, do you really have to ask?

Then why are Witcher 2 devs using Bioware for publicity?They must have little faith in their soon to be inferior game.

Are they? Keep in mind that it's not like CD Projekt is running around screaming "We're better than BioWare!" PC Gamer dude was definitely fishing for a good quote and directly asked them to compare. What were they supposed to say? "BioWare rulez?"

you know, a good professional would say "no comment" or "I think that question is innappropriate".

Sure, the usual standard corporate issue, marketing friendly, legal department approved answer would be "We love BioWare, respect BioWare and so on and so forth." Personally I prefer if he answers straight even if that will ruffle some feathers.

Well, if they're after getting new people to play their game, then the professional approach would be most appropriate. If they want to alienate Bioware fans that may have tried to play their game that havent before, i think they just ruined that chance. I know i for one wont be playing TW2, both because of my dislike of TW1 and now this attitude.

I was perfectly willing to give TW2 a shot due to the improvements i heard about. Not anymore.

Funny, seeing that TW2's marketing is quite good, and has been running very strong since last spring, they aren't desperate.

Yet they take every opportunity to take a stab at bioware. Ah well, once the dust settles we'll see who remains standing.

Because people like to create oppositions and hate each other.

Didn't this guy also say that MASS EFFECT was influenced by the Witcher? You know, the same game that came out a MONTH after The Witcher did? Lol

No other forum cares, really. Outside of the BSN, there are no huge flamefests about which is the better game.

You've never been to the GameSpot forum have you?

Im pretty sure the sales of DA2 will speak loudly enough to the Witcher people that their "graphical superiority" means absolutely nothing. Id say DA does 3-5 times the numbers the Witcher 2 pulls off.

[GuldiienDAO]

I've played both and like both. DA and TW are just different kinds of fun. I'm not sure how else to explain it.

[thompsonaf]

DA2 and TW2 Graphics comparison? Really?
Well lets settle this.

Skyrim.

That is all.

[slimgrin]

Vs topics between DA and TW have been brewing on the net for some time now. And that interviewer was clearly fishing. At this point Bioware may as well start firing back. Come on Laidlaw, give em yer best shot!

Really? Answering a direct question on how their game compares to Dragon Age and saying that they have better graphics and more fleshed out world is going to scare people away?

Somehow I doubt that.

[Amyntas]

It's quite obvious why they do it. By comparing themselves to Bioware and creating this debate they can pretend to be on the same level.

The "it made more money" argument has never been a show of quality.

If it were, that would mean Britney Spears makes some of the best music in the history of mankind.

Haha, oh wow.
You take gamespot threads seriously?

A forum where an age poll was conducted and over 65% of the populace answered below 16.

Facts are one thing, attitude is another. I dislike how he worded his argument. It sounded slightly juvenile. Then again, the interviewer was just as much at fault, and i detest stuff like that. Games should be judged on their own merits, not how they compare to another game.

Again, sales mean nothing for quality.

Seriously, look at all of the (unpatched) bugs in Origins.

Let's see - there was already a thread about this, one in which some people, as per usual, acted childishly. Not interested in seeing more flaming again. *sigh*

i wasnt there along with others. We can be civil i think

I hope so - I think some people in there may have gotten smacked by the ban hammer, as I don't see the offender(s) atm (EDIT: woops, I see them in the more recent posts - guess they didn't get the hammer, heh). The Witcher 2 dev is right on the graphics - their graphics look quite nice based on the screenshots. The DA2 grahpics in the new screenshots/vids are pretty good, but obviously they went for a specific style rather than going for TW2's level of realism and detail. As far as I'm concerned, there's room for both approaches.

I'd be more concerned over the combat because I just did not like that flaming sword combo system in TW - it's a pet peeve now that I've tried to work with it. If they've fixed that in TW2 - great - if it's still that flaming sword clicky thing...n.. Regarding the generic fantasy setting comment, I didn't see anything in TW that seemed particularly unique or special. *shrug* I saw many elements that one finds in other fantasy games. Perhaps if I actually play some more of TW, I'll see something that qualifies as really unique. *shrug*

EDIT: And as pointed out by others, I imagine that having to accommodate consoles means that it's more difficult to go all-out in the graphics department.

And what else is there to measure but commercial success?

Yup, BioWare doesn't need to stoop to their level.
