I don't know - I remember buying TW1 on launch day, hell pre-ordering it in Poland and playing the hell out of it. I had problems with it, mainly the loading times and occasional crashes to the desktop, but that's all I can remember. Of course, back then I was less jaded and not so keen on the internet. I just assumed that games are like that.

Damn... sometimes I wish I could go back to times when I was buying games that had interesting covers and descriptions [not that I didn't get burn on that... ekhem, Gothic 3].

Since it is looking increasingly likely that BioWare have totally lost the plot, I think I will switch to CD Projekt RED and their games.

I've also played The Witcher 1 at launch and had no real trouble.  Sure, the reduced loading times, etc. after the patches were nice, but not essential, it was a fine game from launch, IMO. Much better then many others at launch.

Well to be fair, I did play the original Polish version. Things might have been different for versions in other languages. From what I've read the localizations have been pretty bad initially, but were improved quite a bit later on.

Man, are you late xD

Like, 2011 late.

Only reason I bought Skyrim(my first Elder Scrolls) was because of a friend's suggestion and because DA2 pissed me off so much, I wanted to get into another RPG series in case I'd give up on DA.

Skyrim. Legendary game. Reinvigorated my love of RPGs.

Then earlier this year I finally bought The Witcher 2(it WAS this year, right?).

Another amazing game that guaranteed I'd pick up the game in this thread's name.

Wasn't there a basic version of this in TW2?

Yeah. I rarely used it. The way they desctibe it for TW3 concerns me though. I honestly hated it in Arkham City, constantly switching back and forth. We'll see what CDPR does.

Yeah, it kind of defeated the purpose of having gorgeous graphics in the Arkham games. What's the point if people are going to spend most of their time not seeing them and looking for "clues"? Seems a bit too hand holdy also.

Come to think of it, I cursed at TW2 when it was launched as well. At the time I bought a 1920*1200 display and a 7.1 headset in anticipation for the game. Both were not supported by TW2. No sound is a bit too much - the headset didn't support anything but 7.1. I had to wait 1 or 2 months before I was able to play. The game was great, though.

It's horribly optimized, at least through Steam--your screen flickers every time you have to load a new area, and it can be jerky with 100+ FPS.

That doesn't sound right. Seems like overheating to me. You can reduce the frame rate by using V-Sync. That will also reduce the heat. But flicker is usually enough reason to RMA the graphics card.

I've played the first one something like month ago and didn't have problems like that. I don't remember, but is there a V-sync option perhaps ? To lock fps ?

Also, if you've bought both Witchers on Steam, you can redeem the key to both games on GOG. To get your own drm-free copy. Here is how to do it if you're interested.

There is no DRM for TW2 on Steam. Both Steam and CDPR did not copy protect it. Supporting achievements on Steam doesn't mean it is copy protected.

Steam is DRM. You can't play a Steam game without using Steam. GOG allows you to download a game and you're basically free to do whatever you want to do with it. Hell, you can share it with your friends, burn it on a DVD etc. Plus they throw in massive amounts of digital goodies.

AA, Cinematic Depth of Field, SSAO, motion blur and a high LOD are your major FPS killers. Be sure to hit up Nexus for any mods you might like. Also, Flash (one of the devs) should be releasing his Full Combat Rebalance mod for TW2 soon. He's made major changes, it'll be worth checking out. Due out on the 20th.

That's cool. Flash is one of CDPR's gameplay designers. The man must really love the game to create a mod like that.

Same story.

[LPPrince]

Hunt Discussion is gonna be the beastliest iPhone game

But anyway, I STILL haven't gotten down to doing an Iorveth playthrough.

I will though. I so totally will.

[Gibb_Shepard]

You really have to do a Iorveth playthrough. It's such a completely different atmosphere, definitely my preferred path.

Also, here's an interview with some info from someone who got to see W3 gameplay:

Looks like "Witcher senses" or "detective mode" is basically the same thing you got when you drinked the cat potion in the Witcher 2.

Also this is one of dbest and most detailed videos about Witcher 3, props to interviewer

Yeah, It's always nice to hear what Gamermd83 has to say. I love her enthusiasm. I'm especially looking forward to the CGI trailer by Platige Image [intro, outro from TW1, intro TW2] - it sounds amazing.

I can somewhat respect these kind of  hand holding. It's a video game. It's limited. You're stuck in room. You can only go through the place the game want you to go.Good game manage to make it feel more genuine. Giving you the feeling of liberty, but you're always going to be in a pre-determined path and nothing's more annoying than trying to find the right red button  knowing everything else is only for decoration.


I think a good game will make it clear to you at the beginning what can be used. So if you play a game like deux ex . You know right away that ventilattion trap are actually stealh tunnel maze and all of them will be interconnected. It a game feature that work because you can allow yourselvesto forget it  actually make no sense. You accept the feature right away so you can be immersed in the game. When the game do not allow you to do that .. It's do others thing. Like detective mode. Allowing you to find quickly game feature that aren't common.

Without it . Mean what ?  Going through a maze of decoration until you find the gameplay feature. Being stuck because you don't know what game feature youcan use make a game a bad game. Because game aren't like real life. You just can't break every window.
