I can't wait until I can afford to buy this game twice!
Ah such a classic.

This is the best non open-world RPG to grace consoles this generation. If you don't buy it 360 owners, then you have no right to bitch about the constant amount of shitty unoriginal sequels you get.
I played TW2 vanilla when it came out, then planned to replay it when 2.0 came out, then heard about this. I'll probably start my replay, then we'll hear about a Director's Cut of The Enhanced 2.0 Edition.

Pumped that this game is getting a second release of sorts.
I've already played through it twice, but I'll definitely be giving it another go with the Extended Edition. Too bad the improved 360 pad controls won't be brought to the PC version. There's a reason I played through both times using the keyboard and mouse.

They're talking about how they remapped the controls to different buttons to better match other console action games. So changing the controls on the PC would just get really confusing for those already used to it.

Werewolves, you say?
Same day as the console release, the 17th, but I expect a midnight unlock. The EE preload should be available this Tuesday.

Pretty sure that was a poor attempt at quick image censoring.
Yeah, I blurred it out just in case off-focus ass cheek is bannable. Click the image for the uncensored version.

Love the censored version, hahaha
I'm finally getting around to finishing this. I thought the Witcher series was immune to this from me, but I have this horrible problem with rpgs... I get really excited going into them, and then suddenly drop them out of nowhere. However, I've caught the bug again, and I've put in several hours this last week/end in it.
Tweaked some of my settings and have things running better now. Really enjoying this a lot, but it makes me want to replay the first again, as well...
I wish gog had some way of tracking playtime. : (

A little random, but does anyone have that hilarious/awesome gif of who I assume is Roche where he like busts through a bridge, does a combat roll, and then takes out a dude as he pops up?
Edit: Found it
Lmao. Greatness.
This is hilarious! I can't wait to see where this happens in the game. My first thought was definitely:

Roche is a rider. Bro for life. Solo knows what's up. In terms of don't-give-a-fuck badassery, he is second only to Geralt.

Quick questions.
1) is this not an open world RPG? How large is the world? Are there towns and cities? Is it more like Fallout 3 or FF12?
2) are there romancing options? If yes, are there same sex options?
3) does equipped gear show up on your character? If I find some badadd armor will it show?

Really looking forward to the EE. Started playing it way back but got distracted and decided to wait.
Really hope it does well. Hopefully all the skyrim players can get it and realise what they are missing. Not trying to have a go at skyrim, it was just boring and shit.
^^ It isn't open world, just has large hub areas, towns and quests. You have romance and sex. Same sex is conplicated...

Anyone remember how many endings there were? Was it 16? I think I've seen about six to eight.
I'm kind of dreading the inevitible backlash because of the hype. Just a few things. The prologue isn't that hard. The game gets easier as you level your skills. Roll. Level skills that eliminate backstab damage. You are a walking God by the end of the game. Choose a skill path early. This isn't a jack of all trades skill path game.
Above all fucking else play the game at least twice. Just have a save ready to go for when you know when. You are getting two games in one. People will tell you it's 30 hours long. They've only played it once.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
1) It is not an open world RPG. The game is compartmentalised into three acts (and a prologue/epilogue). Each has a town as well as some explorable area. It is nothing like a sandbox game (Fallout 3 / Skyrim). Once you complete an act and move on to the next, you cannot return to previous areas.
2) There are characters you can sleep with, though the romancing does not work the same way as Mass Effect and such. You can only play as Geralt, and from memory there are no same sex relationships.
3) Yes. Everything you equip will show up accurately. Even runes in weapons will have their associated symbol glow on the blade.
1) Areas are generally big countrysides/forests/camps surrounding a larger camp or city. They are densely packed and have alot to do in each of them. The first area is probably one of the most beautiful areas in any game. Don't go in expecting the freedom of a Skyrim or Fallout, this is a tight story based game, with enough freedom to do what you want while still feeling involved in the story.
2) Romance isn't clearly defined as in Mass Effect or something but Geralt definitely has a relationship with Triss continuing from TW1.
3) Yes equipped gear shows up. There is a nice variety of stuff but don't go in expecting huge suits of armor. Most of them look like things a guy of Geralt's profession and appearance would wear.
Edit: beaten by seconds.

If you don't buy this for either 360 or (preferably) PC, you are already dead.

Forreal, Roche is the true rider for life. To hell with the elf boy.
