David would hate Witcher.

No heroism and no "kill teh bad guys" moments. And you're not in a higher position than others, so you can't just up an jump at a King like an idiot.

[Thomas Andresen]

But explicitely stating 'Hey, I wanna screw that one!' would seem a bit disturbing even to me.

The worst part is, in my experience, most youth(and I'm stretching the definition of "youth" very far here), at least males, actually behaves like that, or at least talk like that amongst themselves.

And you can still can't judge games you never even played or bothered to play

Why do you still respond to him though?

LOL that made me laugh... they were so flipping ridiculous.
 
To the point, I like the Witcher, but don't want DA to mimic it in any way. The only feature I can think of is the divergent paths based on choice, Act 2, allowing you to go in two distinct paths would be cool. And would certainly enhance replay value.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

I have confidence in DA:I because it's clear that the developers understand that there were very serious faults with the previous games, and they're clearly taking the time to do their best to fix those faults. At the same time, the Dragon Age series obviously has content that is very meaningful and emotional compelling to fans.

Meanwhile, the Witcher series faces no such pressure. There's been no backlash, so whatever the series lacks is very unlikely to be fixed.

There is plenty of complains about TW2, the good thing is CDPR fix it very fast.

Ending is disappointing? add extra scene in the ending.

Act III is too short? add more quest in ACTIII.

Don't like pre-ordered DLC? give it all to fans.

No tutorial? add one.

And it's a good thing Bioware is trying to improve on pass issues. But just because the Witcher games don't get backlash doesn't mean their fanbase don't give feedback on what the game needs improvement on

And like the topic, there's nothing wrong with Bioware or game.devs in general looking at other games to see what they can improve on. It's a good thing for them to do that

Make it all free? Okay then. 

Lol, I was sprised that they just dished out the extended version across the board for free, less than a year after the PC release.

Er, isn't this objectively wrong? There are plenty of "kill the bad guy" moments, and you can in fact help murder a king.

Not that I have a problem with any of that, it's all executed quite well, but it seems silly to claim otherwise.

You got Loredo, but that's it.

Why don't we assume for a minute that I'm right and the Witcher hasn't made anything close to the impact BioWare games have? (Because it's the truth, of course.)

Why is that? If the Witcher has all these features, why is it not #1 at the top of every list and poll out there? Why is it that Mass Effect ranks high in the 'greatest series of the decade' poll and the Witcher isn't even on the list?

I've seen the Witcher on plenty of lists like that.

Cherry picking your examples is also a fallacy

[David7204]

Really? I'd be delighted to see a few.

The Witcher is very popular. It certainly hasn't been passed by, it's widely recognised by the gaming community and it's been covered a lot by the mainstream gaming press, receiving a great deal of critical acclaim. The Witcher 3 has been previewed just as much as any other upcoming AAA game. The very fact that there will be three of them should be telling, but hey. 

Why isn't it as popular as Mass Effect? Apart from the fact that it's an R rated fantasy game advertised to older gamers and not a widely marketable sci-fi military shooter, it's made by a relatively small developer in Poland, without BioWare or EA's widely recognisable and multinational brand and presence, and without their vast sums of money. Also, there have only been two games in the series, the first of which is still a PC exclusive and the second of which was only released on Xbox about a year ago. It's not exactly set up for success. 

But no, it's obviously because both games in the series are deeply flawed in some way, apparently obvious even to those who've never played either of them.

I talk about the Witcher, and suddenly it becomes a raving topic of interest for everyone on the internet. It becomes the biggest release of the past few years!

Please.

It's not a perfect game. It has flaws.

But it's one of the rare games that doesn't insult your intelligence. It's also a game with choices and consequences (important ones), but without reducing it to a power fantasy.

There are many characters, all with their own agenda, secrets, and plans. But they're not stupid, and not all are equal. And they're not there to stroke your ego.

If I just started posting all the lists that had the Witcher on it you'd just post ones that didn't.

It gets nowhere.

Well maybe both of you should provide examples of these polls to prove who is right and wrong.

You don't kill him yourself, but it happens. It's your choice to let it happen.

no you can also kill him yourself if you want

[Giggles_Manically]

Hopefully none because the Witcher sucks
