TW2 led me to drinking. The fandom of TW2 leads me to throw turtles in wet cement.

This is why I hate when someone says "Play a real RPG like TW2" on these forums. I don't think it should be against the rules to mention other games but grrrrr.

It's overrated. The programming or coding or whatever is shady, the voice acting is bland, the "maturity" of the nudity is a joke, and the combat never has a rhythm and is...not broken but just isn't as deep as ppl say.



Edit: Thinking about it.  I actually think this is a shameless attempt at plugging TW series.


There is a reason why Fallout New Vegas won RPGOTY over both DA2 and TW2.

New vegas came out a year before TW2.... <_<

Edit: In fact I don't think New Vegas hardly won many awards, if any at all.

You know, mentioning if this is a Bioware ploy, Witcher 1 uses a Bioware engine. Maybe they get a cut everytime someone buys the game?

Nope. Been playing TW since the first game came out. Fan ever since, it helps with post-ME3 ending traumas.

I have no desire to buy any game these days that goes big on story, characters, and setting. After getting burned by BioWare and ME3, I realize that investing the amount of time I did into these kinds of game was actually quite rediculous. (10 play throughs of ME, 7 ME2, 8 for DA:O) No offence to anyone intended.

So now, I sit and enjoy games that are meant for just that, enjoyment when I have spare time. Games like Binary Domain, UFC Undisputed 3, I Am Alive, HAWX 1 and 2, etc. I went from hardcore gamer to casual gamer. And I think it was the right choice.

Nope, I actually saw the Witcher one on sale about 2 years ago. It looked interesting, so I bought it that day.

His reviews hold more truth that a lot of reviewers out there.

Look at the FF13 review and you'll see what I mean.

Nope. I will never play the witcher.

I HATE game with choices and no character customization, instead I am stuck with mr albino stale voice.

If your make a game where you can make choices, let us make our characters.

Yeah it looks like you are stuck playing as that dude no matter what.  Big turn off in an RPG in a game that supposed "RPG pursts" drool over.

I honestly think a lot of them were drooling over TW2 b/c it was a PC exclusive.  Then when they announced it was coming to consoles they couldn't back off.

The Witcher 2 is pretty good but it is also overrated, I still enjoy Mass Effect a lot more.

Good to hear:D I'm glad there are good guys out there.

But I've seen a lot of them both here and on some of the interent review sites, they are not ver nice about console games and players.

The Witcher 2 was already on my radar since they announced the xbox360 port. Played through it twice and it is an excellent game. Apart from a few nitpicks here and there, it is an excellently crafted story. Its mature status doesn't just come from the nudity or violence in-game, it also points toward the weight and complexity of the decisions you have to make as a very reluctant, and very under appreciated hero; and I use the term hero loosely.

Also people should know that next to NOTHING Yahtzee says should be taken seriously, even when he sounds serious. In his witcher 2 review, he comments that the game seems "nightmarishly long"; I f**king wish. It's about the length of a standard full ME run so it clocks in at about 30-40 hours. I remember in his Arkham City review where he said you couldn't do the side missions post-game; more lies. All of the side missions in that game can be completed post-game.

As I was finishing all my playthroughs in ME2, I heard a lot about the Witcher 1 and the sequel. Never played the first, but after reading about the gameplay and narrative, I was very interested. After playing ME3, I felt a bit unsatisfied with its ending. I got to play Witcher 2 for a bit and enjoyed it. I am going to buy the game. I feel that Bioware has let me down twice with the KOTOR 2 ending and now with ME3. I'm hoping that the Extended Cut can change my view.

KOTOR 2 wasn't a bioware game.

He didn't say TW2 was long.  He said "From what I understand is a nightmarishly long game."  Saying he doesn't know but thats what he hears. 

If I remember right, he didn't even finish either Witcher games b/c he hates them. 

He also said it was stupid to not have any player training.  Then they added a tutorial.....fancy that.

He could have made an honest mistake regarding Batman.....ppl aren't perfect.

Edit: rewatching that episode....theres actually a lot of truth to it.  Like naming the spells stupid names so you have no idea what you're casting until you use 1 a bunch of times, the unresponsive combat, and how the writing is dark like every other M rated RPG out there.

Yeah, Mass Effect 3 lead me to the Witcher series.

Bioware and EA have had a part in it as well.

The main reason I started checking out The Witcher is because of the things I heard about CD Projekt and how they treat their fans.

Comparing that to EA, and Bioware since the ending backlash, I decided to support them and give The Witcher a try on Steam, which was only like 10-20 bucks.

CD Projekt can count on future purchases from me.

As much as I love his videos... following Yahtzee's opinions as fact will get you 3 games in a decade.

So I guess you only own Silent Hill 2, Prince of Persia and the other chosen few? xD

Get the Witcher 1 and 2. Yahtzee hated it because he thought it was boring. He'll probably call Baldur's gate and Planescape: Torment boring too.
