I'll have to go back and replay Witcher 1, but I never did love it for the graphics. I'm pretty sure some of the VO work was terrible, too. But, man, that game really made you feel like you were on an epic quest. In W2 it is more like I'm just some bit player in the schemes of the truly powerful.

I loved the game during my first playthrough, but I got really tired of the constant back tracking during my second playthrough.

Extra HIB games:
- Rocketbirds
- A Virus named Tom
- Bastion

At least I get Bastion.

 

[webrunner]

How many darn copies of Bastion am I going to end up with!?

Hmm, don't have these 2. Everyone fellow GAFfer should get Bastion, amazing soundtrack, in fact, I was just listening to this:

I just finished The Witcher 2.

It was simply nowhere near as good as The Witcher.

Definitely much prettier but it felt far more shallow and the story did not satisfy me at all. Nothing is really resolved at the end and your impact on the way events unfold feels marginal at best. The dialogue, however, was still great, and there were a couple of really memorable player-choice moments.

Gameplay-wise I didn't care for the combat. It was an improvement over Witcher 1's timing based system, but only just. I also really despised the crafting system, though thankfully it was completely optional. Level design was obnoxiously bad. I spent far too much time hunting for a quest icon through what amounted to giant mazes. At one point I stopped playing for an extended period of time because I thought a quest was broken. It turned out that the icon was actually referring to a location far above me and I had not been able to visually pick out the staircase that led to it.

That said, I really love the universe, lore, atmosphere, and Geralt of Rivia remains one of my favorite characters so I'm on board for #3. This chapter just felt more like an extended prologue instead of a fully fleshed out game.

Agree with everything except the level design. But it's great that another person saw the light.

Yeah me too, but I think the generosity is pretty cool anyway.

 

[FOX_]

Ditto

Make that triple.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

http://www.tf2items.com/ used to show items that had dropped but hadn't been added to your inventory, I'm not sure if it still does. I think you'll need to actually boot up the game so you can get the items to sell or trade though.

Thanks. I tried the site and it couldn't find a backpack so it seems you do need to play the game to see what TF2 items you have.

Nabs also said the same thing, so thanks to both of you.

 

[nexen]

Yes indeed.

Pretty cool HIB bonuses. IG Magicka just launched, too.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Little disappointed in the added games. I can't speak for Rocketbirds or Tom....but Bastion and Limbo were both in the same bundle last year. Oh well, time to giveaway!

 

[FiveElementNinja]

I may be one of the few people who has yet to play limbo.

Me too, and I've wanted it for a while, so I'm pretty happy to get it today from the bundle.

I really liked the first witcher but i cant bring myself to replay TW2 after i finished it in 2011. Not even now that i can push the graphic at max.
I just hate the inventoty, the hud, the way Geralt runs around. The amount of stuff you have to organize make me hate it even more. TW1 hud was so much better, fast and without any nonsense.
The combat is "better" that TW1 because now is a style that fit Geralt character better but even that is not very good.

It's a good game but such a bummer aswell.

 

[Stumpokapow]

I keep seeing this pop up. What exactly is the X bundle?

X is a series of space sim games. There's an entry in the Steam registry ( a database of steam games that Valve pushes out to clients so you are up to date) for a humble bundle themed around the X series.

It's cake... which is obviously a lie.

Two bundles appeared in the registry a few weeks ago with some X games on each (X3: terra conflic ,etc). It should have something to de with X:Rebirth launching in november.

 

[Sini]

...wow. The best bundle just got the worst additions. Who doesn't have Limbo and Bastion at this point?

First to quote gets Limbo. I'll leave poor modbot out of this.

I don't have Limbo.
And I actually want to play it.

 

[Lint21]

Huh... I thought you got the additional HIB games even if you didn't beat the average. Yet when I go into my page for HIB 9, the new games aren't there. When did they change this?

Free DLC for AVNT. It might always be free, i dunno. Steam key is the soundtrack edition.
