That ^ summarizes pretty much everything you need to know about 2.0

Man. So they are making it easier. I don't understand. The game kind of a joke in the second chapter. Shouldn't they have addressed that problem?

Where did you read they were making it easier ? Dark more is harder than insane mode except you can save.

They talk about giving the game a smoother learning curve. The beginning is the only time the game is ever difficult in the normal difficulties (normal and hard).

As for Dark Mode I seriously doubt it's going to be hard for any other reason then enemies being able to one shot you (so pretty much not fun). I would love for it to be because they use advance tactics that balance out the ridiculous amount of power you gain going into chapter 2.

Two questions:

1) Do we know anything about what the Enhanced Edition will contain?

oops, post at the top

2) Are there some higher resolution textures available? Either DLC or a mod?

No "Enhanced Edition." Just 2.0.

A new arcade-like arena mode, a new difficulty mode between Hard and Insane, and some other bits. No graphic enhancements that I can remember.

Edit: Beaten.

 

[Tokubetsu]

No to both.

 

[Solo]

No.

Play the ploughing game.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Yea, Dennis is fucking up right now. Needs to get on the Roche train.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Thirded. The fuck, man.

 

[Solo]

I need one of those troll pictures right now specifically for Dennis. Like the one with the frog on it on something.


HYPE THE WITCHER 2 UP FOR A YEAR

*frog/wolf/dog/whatever image*

UPGRADE COMPUTER AND PLAY DEUS EX INSTEAD

 

[EatChildren]

PLAY THE FUCKING GAME

 

[Solo]

Dennis will play The Witcher 3 before 2, you heard it here first!

 

[cackhyena]

I wish I could play this game on my computer. I manage Human revolution, with a lot of choppiness in the hubs, but I don't think I could do this one.

Dennis, you now have your own meme on Meme Generator called Graphics Horse Dennis.

 

[Snuggles]

dennis would rather just look at pictures of the game since all he cares about is teh graphics

 

[Vaporak]

You should post computer specs. Human Revolution is just a shitty engine, the level streaming in the hubs kills the framerate for approximately everyone.

 

[Kyaw]

Boom:

Beaten but WHATEVER!!!

Play the game Dennis, you graphics whore.

I'm gonna find where Dennis lives, force him to dope up on fiss-tech, and play 24 straight hours of Too Human if he doesn't start playing soon.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Jesus dude, nobody deserves that. I hear that the suicide rate for testers at Silicon Knights is over 15 times the rate of the general population.

High textures, lol what ? Did you even run the game once ?

 

[RustyNails]

Mundane tasks?

Mundane tasks like DESTROY THE GIANT MOTHERFUCKING SHARKTOPUS THING IN THE SWAMP THATS FUCKING SHIT UP, BOATS AND EATING MERCHANTS.

Le sigh.

 

[subversus]

Dennis, don't forget checking INI file before start and crank textures to 4096 because the game tend to reset it on the first run.

You'll be fine as long as you care more about gameplay than maxing it out; you're decently over the minimum requirements after all.

 

[Chinner]

letho's boss fight is way more enjoyable the second time around.

Hmmmm, might have to bite then. Thanks.

Yeah mang, so run of the mill. You gotta do that same shit in every goddamn RPG. So mundane.

 

[Kyaw]

They better announce Witcher 3 at the next E3 or something and release it for 2013. :3

According to their website, CD-Projekt are hiring for a new game, so hopefully they're gonna get to work on TW3 ASAP.

 

[Kyaw]

PC first and then port to consoles please. Just like TW2.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Didn't the lead developer director dude man of Witcher 1 and 2 leave CDProjekt recently?

 

[Kyaw]

Didn't the lead developer director dude man of Witcher 1 and 2 leave CDProjekt recently?

Tomasz Gop. Yes.

He was an awesome dude.

 

[Chinner]

would be awfully ironic if the new lead director was from bioware, heh heh heh.

(its funny because bioware are awful)

edit: apparantly he was a producer, not a director. whatever the difference is.

 

[Solo]

Didn't the lead developer director dude man of Witcher 1 and 2 leave CDProjekt recently?

Yes. He decided to become Geralt in real life. Witchers have no time for game development.

 

[Gvaz]

Dear god, I played 8 hours of that game and wanted to kill everything in the vicinity. It was almost as bad as Space Siege.

 

[Discotheque]

I'm gonna find where Dennis lives, force him to dope up on fiss-tech, and play 24 straight hours of Too Human if he doesn't start playing soon.

yeah this is crazy. muthafucka has had geralt avatar for a while now and he still hasn't got on Witcher 2

Practice what you preach etc.

 

[Lasthope106]

Ever since that new edition of Two Worlds II and the expansion got announced Dennis can't think of any other games.

 

[Solo]

Two Worlds II *giggle*

 

[ACE 1991]

So what's currently the cheapest way I can get a hold of this game?

Woah! Done and done. Thanks for the heads up!

A shitty sequel to a good game got an expac greenlighted? what the fuck

 

[WrikaWrek]

Just finished this, and Deus Ex HR.

I feel like I've just played the best games of the year, and I have to reserve special praise for the Witcher 2.

It's a truly great game, has a great story, great characters, great gameplay and choice. Also quite possibly, the best graphics a game has shown yet.

Bring on PArt 3

 

[ACE 1991]

Fuck, GAF, this game right here is why I bought a new PC. Simply incredible looking at max settings, minus the crazy resource intensiveness of ubersampling. Quick question, however: how do I view information about my spells? The only place I seem to be able to find anything is in the quick select (or whatever it's called) menu.

 

[Solo]

Meditate

 

[ACE 1991]

Meditate

Aha! Thanks.

 

[Chinner]

you mean the character screen where you level up? mediate or press c.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Seems like there's a patch downloading. Anyone know what for?

 

[ASilva]

My steam just started downloading a 17Gb "patch" for this out of nowhere. Anyone knows what this is? Isn't the 2.0 version only supposed to come out at the end of the month?
