Let's face the reality of the situation, whether you possess a meaningless opinion or not: The Witcher 2 was bad. Dragon Age 2 was better in every way.

What? I'm discussing how overrated The Witcher 2 is. DA2 is better in almost every way.

FlyingPaladin, don't... that's not cool.

Ah, f**k it, do what you want.
I'll be here.

While I know you are a troll. I agree that the Witcher 2 was ****. though DA2 isn't that much better.

I'll bite. While I don't hate Dragon Age 2 like some people, it's combat mechanics were lacking and the story felt very disjointed. I think they made a big mistake by having it told through flashbacks. And let's not forget those repeating dungeons. The game is saved though by the wonderful Bioware companions and some really funny dialogue.

The Witcher 2 on the other hand, is a vastly superior title by virtue of it's mature and well written story (with actual consequences!), superior gameplay mechanics, and stunning visuals. The characters don't feel like stock fantasy tropes but real people with motivations and allegiances.

Woah woah, so you're saying there aren't consequences to your choices? or that the game isn't very good looking?

Bioware thought they could be just as good as Chriss Avellone was with Alpha Protocol's interactive framed narrative ( which was amazing by the way ).

Everything else in this thread is irrelevant since it was started by another one of those trolls that are paid by EA.

And some people think Avatar is the greatest sci-fi film ever made.

You're entitled to your opinions...however stupid they may be.

See, that's the funny thing. Everything you said about The Witcher 2 was an opinion. Quite frankly, I don't agree with a single word you just said.

Fair enough. Just like I disagree with the OP's notion that Dragon Age 2 is way better than The Witcher 2.

[Seboist]

Witcher 2 was the worst game I've ever played.

Funny. I completely forgot that Alpha Protocol's story was told through a framed narrative. Maybe because it was so well implemented that the changes in the story's timeline weren't as jarring as it was in DA2.

[Costin_Razvan]

You know what's funny? Mike Laidlaw stating that DA2 is the first game with an interactive framed narrative......when Alpha Protocol was released in 2010.

I love Alpha Protocol. Only problem I have with the framed narrative is that Michael Thorton's hair changes in those talks with Leland.

Other than that Obsidian handled it amazingly well while Bioware...

[Rockworm503]

Anyone talking about a game having bad writing and then praising DA2 is just asking to be laughed at.

:blink:Wha? But your sig and, I...okay.

Anyway. I'm not yet out of the priosn so maybe I'm not seeing the game in it's full glory but I've encountered railroading,, autodialouge, and a comabt system that makes me think of assassin's creed without the all important counter feature, in a word crappy.

But maybe I'm not seeing the full glory yet, though I expected this game to actually blow me away with it's proclaimed RPGness that the posters here tooted about.

I remain unimpressed. Also the dragon looks stupid.

I also agree with all of this. Except maybe the gameplay mechanics thing; I'm not a fan of TW2's combat.

I'm playing the 360 version currently and I'm not a fan of the combat either.

Shallow hack 'n slash or unimpressive gimmick moves like magic/traps/throwing-knives? That is the question.

I just got out of the prison so I might see it open up soon. Good comparison to AC, btw. It does feel like that.

I find it funny how ME3 gets slammed for autodialogue yet TW2 does it almost as much (so far) and gets a free pass on it.

And yes that dragon did look stupid. At least DA knows what a decent dragon design looks like.

It's much better than DA2's hacking at endless waves of enemies repeatedly. Combat in The Witcher 2 requires some quick thinking and strategy. Human opponents will win if you let them surround you, and fighting monsters requires reading up on them and learning what weaknesses they have and how best to exploit them.
