Ya, as much as I loved the original TL during an era where we were bereft of decent Loot-ARPGs, it seems that the sequel didn't move too far away from the formula of the first while its competitors ran past it. Both Path of Exile and Diablo III seem better (I haven't actually bought it yet, based on the recommendations of a few people I trust in these matters).
TL was great when it's only competition was Dungeon Siege III and FATE (the game it was based on)....

20$ codes for 20? You're losing money. Where do you live?
Ahh good. I remember that vote and voted on it. Still have a chance to pick this up. Thx
It's sold under Squares expectations, I bet that's why.
Yeah I know. I love how CD Projekt support their games for so long. I already own The Witcher 2 collector's edition. I just need to decide if I feel it's worth having it added to my Steam collection or not. They probably deserve the extra money with all the extra content they've put into their games.

And the expectation that SE had were way to inrealistic. They sold 3M copies em 3 weeks.
Witcher 2 can't be super well optimized?
Running everything on low, on 1366x768 with this rig:
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ 3,2GHz
Nvidia GeForce 9600GT 512MB
4GBs of RAMZ
Windows 7 64-bit
Super choppy and around 10-12 fps. Old rig in every way but still...
Uhm well... your gpu is kind of like 10 generations old -_-'.

Me too. Monaco is awesome.
Fez over Natural Selection 2? Outta yo gorram mind.
How good is Monaco solo? I don't know anyone who plays it or would play it.
Sure did.
Could I upgrade my gpu to a 5 generations old gpu for a cheap price and run it decently with everything else in the computer the same? No interest in buying a whole new rig just yet.

I've played both games enough to know you're greatly simplifying TL2 to suit your argument.
So, prepare the pitchforks if you'd like, but, probably embarrassing question coming up...
I'm not awfully familiar with the cards, I hit my 3 in-game drop max now it's talking about booster packs.
Do those just randomly get awarded to me as I play the game or what's their story?

Me too.
Fez and Natural Selection have had their time. Give Monaco its time on the front page.

Maybe, but to me none of TL2's strengths lie in the combat. I could talk about how cool pets are, and fishing, and all the great features will selling / buying, mod support, phase portals and other randomly generated areas, etc. All that is great, but the actual combat is really lame.

It was $28...before launch *shrug*.
Very rare drops... but you just need to log into steam. The chance is linked to your level, but still most people here have only got one or two since cards started.
I don't like these flash and community sales. Half the stuff has already been at featured in the daily sale. meh
As people craft people randomly get booster packs. I don't think you have to do anything to get a booster pack, just wait patiently.
Sweden. Hmmm. Any US site I can buy from?

Voted Monaco, awesome game. Loved Fez too.
It's not a matter of being able to. You will. There's no other option.
It's a matter of how deep in debt you will be once it's over.

I wonder if Valve has had a problem getting more publishers to put games on sale.

You have enough RAM but that CPU.... http://www.techspot.com/review/405-the-witcher-2-performance/page8.html. W2 likes lots of GHz and cores, you might be out of luck. But with a better graphics card it could at least become playable.

No. Just under expectations.

I apologize for crappy compression, had to grab from my facebook upload as I'm not on my gaming rig.
Wasn't ME2 one of the first victims of the EA/Valve spat? Can you even preserve continuity with the series on Steam, and can you get all the DLC?

Isn't PaySafeCards avaiable there?

I mean, I haven't played it so my thoughts don't mean shit, but I always thought it was designed as more of a co-op game

Not so much expectations but sales hopes I think. More "we pissed away years on this title making it and remaking it lets hope it doesn't sell too badly" than anything realistic.
Fun game though, if not the Tomb Raider game I wanted. TressFX was something neat to play with for a bit.
Yeah, I played through 1 and 2 on steam and then finished it off on Origin with 3. Saves and such transfer fine.

High five!
As of April 2013, it was at 3.4 million (not sure if this number accounts digital sales).
They were insane and wanted 5 to 6 million.
