The lore was interesting but I couldn't bring myself to play more than a few hours. Probably been the only RPG (not counting Oblivion which I thought was okay) I never completed/liked. I guess it was a combination of being unable to pick your character, an unfamiliar combat system, and probably the drawn out time periods running around ends of the map finishing quests. The latter I do all the time but I didn't like it in TW for some reason. I only played until that walled city where you had to gain access through a quest. Was beside an abandoned mill or something. Should I give it another shot? :|

You definitely should. There's nothing really insanely complex or strange about combat, only thing that seems to confuse people is that there are 3 styles you can use and you will often need to juggle between them depending on the opponent, other than that it's a very simple timing system. Having a central and well defined character (I'm personally not a fan of carte blanche sandboxy approach to characters) is imperative if you actually want to make a story revolve around that character and not just for it to be driven by NPCs.

Even to this day I'm amazed how underappreciated The Witcher is because people get annoyed by combat and miss out one of the most compelling stories out there with real decisions and grim consequences. If this TW2 trailer was made by BioWare people would be all over it.

And we have the first official trailer:
www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-official-the-witcher/63501

Now give me a release date (sometime around summer would be great, that's when my new PC should be assembled and ready) 

Thanks for that. I really loved the EE. I can't wait to lay my hands on this one.

one of the last frames at the very end of the video

have you spotted this?

Yeah. They are a cool company. There is a making of documentary of the Witcher in which you see day to day development. Couldn't find it on youtube, though. Anyway... Those people really worked day and night to create their dream. In that light I believe that the text above is real and isn't made by the marketing department.

That... typically happens with advancement of technology.

[Marbazoid]

I don't like how they changed Geralts face. I love the new hair do and look though.



I liked the Witcher, and its a personal favorite of mine. The game had some quirks that turned many people off it though.



Just give it another chance! Play past Chapter 2! it gets better I promise!

[rabbitchannel]

Woo. That trailer looks awesome. Very well I'll try it!

It's still a way off from being being Crysis.

Man when I saw that new TW2 trailer I shed a single tear of joy. It looks real good.

Nice, but so generic and simple. Ask yourself how many flora do you have there? I see one type of trees two types of bushes some random foliage and thats it...Photorealistic, but still, simple....

Not really, "generic shooters" consist of monotonous gritty grey/brown corridors and relentlessly shooting enemy's in a linear path, that's not Crysis. In fact as far as genre "setting" goes, you could easily argue it's more unique than the witcher. It does look good though, I don't think the models (in there current state, at least taking out the stylized sense which it does look better imo) look better than Mass Effect 2 but the enviroments do look better. The main thing that struck me was the improved voice acting and animations/cutscene improvement.

BTW: Was he playing that on a control pad? Either way it's sort of looking more like a console UI at the moment.

A missunderstanding, I meant that foliage and the jungle looks generic because there is little variation to foliage...

But man, what they said during the conference got me hooked up even more

EVERYTHING is subordinated to the game mechanic that ruuns in the background....its like pnp RPG sys running in the back keeping watch over all your actions nad stats. And your stats have a great inflluence over te game.

*Sigh*

Time to upgrade this single core relic PC to get this runnin'.

I hope the CE will contain a Witcher amulet!

yeah, on xbox pad

[Rubbish Hero]

I rechecked the other video, if said "press F to climb down".
I hope it doesn't get designed around a control pad with stupid Bioshock like UI.

In the interviw they said it was pc played with a pad (for a pc - I dont know if they are the same for consoles and pcs). F control must be an action key or something...there was also press RB to block or similar - as they explained it was refering to right mouse button...
some screens (if anybody missed the woods...)

Well yes, there are certain species of plant that only grow in certain climates.

I... I don't know what to say. I mean, what, did you not know you can use an Xbox 360/PS3 controller with the PC, or something? Are we going to freak out over nothing again, just because some guy used a game pad?

[Arbiter Libera]

Have you seen ANYONE presenting a new game with m&k, unless it was an RTS? It's for convenience.

No, it's just they become incredibly dumbed down with terrible UI's.
The fact he's playing that with a control pad points more so to a console mentality, not a good sign.

Valve, Bioware.

RPGs usually. Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir were presented that way. On another note, the latest screenshots look fantastic. CD Projekt is pretty good for a fledging company.
