GOG galaxy is quite nice but yea I can't play Witcher 3 until release like the rest of you. I should have got the PS4 version instead...
God, it's been so long since I played anything with tank controls that I'm running into stuff all the time.
I basically have to keep my hand off the mouse.
GetGames has a COD (Mac) 50% off sale.
Remember, Blops isn't Steamplay.

I only forgive you because you helped me get the game for cheap last year. ;3
Witcher 2 is really good, I just wanted to rush through the story to be done with it before Witcher 3 releases, but I getting disattracted by all the quests and beauty. And with beauty I mean
getting lured into an obvious trap by a beautiful elf just because Iof the thirst. That's it. I am going to play racist predjustice Gerald for the rest of the game. When I can't screw the elves I am going to fuck them.

Based on that video comparison someone... linked earlier, I felt like the PS4 version actually looked better to me (and the dock section had an extra boat in the background, a big red one). Not sure about actual framerate (and parts of it were hard to judge, like Geralt's character model, because the makers didn't ensure that the footage had Geralt wearing the same armor/hairstyle/whatever), but it makes me feel like I should've skipped TW3 on PC with my little GTX770 (2gb).
thank you
thanks
i find it kind of confusing that ppl dismiss witcha1 so easily since it's actually a really good game. the combat is kind of dumb i guess at this point but there are really cool story and quest things that i didn't see in many other rpgs (specially liked side quests affecting main quests and indecision also being considered a capital c choice), including witcha2.
i also really like the fact that it's all in one city (and its outskirts), it's just something i really like and wish more rpgs did. dragon age 2 tried to do that but the city itself wasn't really that interesting and the game had bigger problems anyways, but at least i found that exciting about it at the time
i mean, that's not really it for me, i don't really think about my life that way, but it's been a rough past couple of weeks
pls don't call geralt "gerald"
im trying

man maybe it's just me but I would have gotten another playthrough maybe like 4-6 months ago
but playing the whole thing this close to 3's release, knowing how massive that game is, would only guarantee that i'd get burnt out by it fast

I don't know why people hate the combat so much -- it's just rhythm/timing based action rpg stuff... it's not great, but it's not terrible. I managed it with a PGP profile and a DS3, so anyone who bitches about the combat is just factually incorrect.
Your stubborn curmudgeonliness knows no bounds, does it? Use a damned controller, you fool.
Yeah, this.
I can't believe the hate TW1 gets sometimes, when I strongly think it's the better game with the worse combat system (debatable though: I didn't like both, but all in all I can't complain with both).
The quest system is so intertwined and yet simple that I honestly can't think of another game that goes that far, keeping it that solid.
Granted, there is the swamp area that drags longer than needed, but still, Vizima was a damn great experience, one TW2 never ever comes close to.
Also TW2 ending
was shite, come on.
I mean, the ending was fine per se, but its writing was utter crap, too rushed and anticlimatic.

i hope it's silly like madmax2, i was kind of rolling my eyes at how srs the trailer for the new one looked
yeah, it's weird. i like it, it's less action-y than witcha2 which i appreciate since i'm not very good at those kinds of games. i'd rather change stances than having to learn combos and stuff
yea i agree. personally i like witcha1 better because of the more "minimalistic" setting and because it's a bit more of a classic rpg, while witcha2 feels more like a mass effect game or something
both are really good tho, i liked the writing way more in witcha2 and how it didn't spell out everything for you and i think as a whole it had better characters and stuff
can't quite remember if i thought the ending was disappointing or not, but endings are not something that i care too much about tbh

I want to see it but the theatre in my area is only showing it in 3D. *barfs*
zgylon <3
I apparently can't even get things done in a video game. The real world is going to trash me. I rather stay in fort kickass. At least it's free from french people.you need to get out more
After reading too much in the downgrade and the review thread I am kinda hype for Witcher 3 and couldn't hold me back. Especially given that I don't really know much about the world, even with summaries.
I need to get my ass into the cinema. But I always invest too much money in torillas >_<

Me and wife were actually going to see Mad Max yesterday but it was sold out so we had to see Ex Machina instead, blargh
That looks like a Neo Geo Pocket game
Yeah, his name is Geraldo Riviera!
Ugh, fine.
This is going to cut down on my game time, though =p
Probably not till the summer sale.
Well if it's not necessary, I'm just going to skip it then.
Is that because of the mechanics/graphics or story? Or something else.
I tried it once, the fight system was somewhat annoying, even if presentation, story and characters were superb.
Mechanics/graphics.
It ran on the Aurora engine (See: Bioware's Neverwinter Nights) and it... hasn't aged well

ill admit I never made it far into witcher 2 because when I built a new system few years ago my graphics card died after 4 days when I started. I took that as a bad omen not to play it when my card got replaced.

My first GTX 460 actually caught fire while I was playing Witcher 2. It was during the fire segment in Act 2, so it was as though the game was reaching into this world and telling me to stop. It was funny because it was getting really hot in my room and I thought, you know, 'wow, it feels like I'm really there!' and then the card threw a hadouken out of the back of my case.
I was so gunshy after that, I didn't play anything more intense than Source Engine games for the rest of that year. I finished Witcher 2 on 360 ;-;
Holy fuck O_O
I am always scared that these things happen. Why isn't there a protection against burning, this seems to happen so often. Just remember London 1666.
sigh
well, many things, specially when you compare it to witcha2
* combat is def pretty weird for rpg standards, it's rythm-based which is strange and it's just not specially deep or exciting. i personally like it better than witcha2's, which is a lot more action oriented and feels a lot more "intense", but it's not for everyone.
* the story is alright, although it feels from a different era, like kotor times or something. instead of the whole cutscene-dialogue stuff we have today thanks to mass effect, it's more talking heads style. lots of awkward standing in place reusing animations. again, not necessarily terrible, but it's different
* it has a really slow start, tho i'd argue witcha2 also does that, as i could never get out of flotsam outside of my first playthrough. but the first chapter is long and a lot of people get tired of the game by then. i love that first chapter, but i can understand where the hate comes from
and yea, the graphics are kinda rough
i'd say give it a shot with those things in mind, it really does pay off to have played the first one when you play the sequel, feels really satisfying to have a background into the politics and all the characters of the world
there are?
many
most cards these days will underclock when too hot, have automatic fan curves, and ultimately will pull a BSOD before "catching on fire"
realistically it's kind of a non-thing. Anything under 100°C even is "safe"
Cheesecake's thing might have been voltage related, nothing to do with the card itself
This might actually be an issue since more recent games try to make the combat easier.
Ah well...that's..yeah. I played Neverwinter a lot back in the day, but I don't think I'd be able to play a game with those graphics anymore.
Alright so this is something I've heard a LOT.
8/10 people I ask about Witcher 2 say that it fucked their comp/graphics cards - I honestly just thought they were trolling, but if it's actually very graphics intensive even on medium settings then I'm not sure about it since I play on a laptop.
This is why I was considering playing it, so that I have the continuity. I can ofcourse just google everything, but I'd rather play through it and get more invested.
Maybe it's better now, I never had anything actually burn, my stuff usually just breaks peacefully. Just hear how here and there how comptuters burn like witches.

It's a fun game. I believe I have a spare code. Hit me up on Steam later.
Have a good weekend all.
you're more likely to melt something than get it to catch fire

There are lots of protections against it! Salsa explained for me. It was pretty much a freak accident, I'm still not 100% sure how it happened.
That might be it, since I was rocking a Hiper Type-M 670w PSU at the time which was released in 2005-2006 if I remember correctly. I didn't play Witcher 2 until at least mid-2012, so it was pretty old by then.
This was the very last thing I saw before it went up in smoke.

The closest thing to that is I had a computer power supply catch fire.
