no overclocking or anything like that.
it is mildy annoying, mainly just because its confusing to why it only happens to some games and not all, this is basically how it looked like in episode 1: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/swaggaz/ep1_citadel_030000.jpg

normally there isnt one person or site to blame, but in this case it is clear.

I approve of the thread title change, it's gonna come down to this or Crysis for my Goty pick, it'll be a hard decision.
Since Mass Effect is my last purchase until after the holidays I'll probably get The Witcher for Christmas. It does sound really great though I hope that whoe impossible boss thing that they talked about on GFW is a little overblown. Do you need that Stun skill or else you are toast?

CD Projekt RED is hiring Xbox 360 programmers as we speak. It would seem that they either intend to do a port to Xbox 360 or are developing a future game (possibly The Witcher 2) for PC and Xbox 360. It would make sense, as many PC developers have come to realize that Xbox 360 ports are quick and easy (providing the game's controls are not exceedingly complex on the PC), and can double their sales numbers, giving them the cash they need to keep franchises alive.

Fallout 3 is also coming to Xbox 360, made by Bethesda on the Oblivion engine so it is bound to have similarities, much to the chagrin of long time Fallout fans.
Mass Effect is also a good action-RPG, at least take a look at some gameplay if you don't already have it.

Crysis is pretty fucking amazing actually, advances it's genre in awesome ways, and has a kickass multiplayer, but it doesn't finish as strong as it could have. The Witcher is awesome as a game but buggy as hell, I had some serious, serious crashing issues in Chapter 4 that if the game hadn't grabbed me as well as it did I would have just stopped trying to play it.Zzoram said:
I really can't decide, but I'm lucky to have gotten two games so good that I find myself in this situation.
This game is *NOT* like Oblivion.bathala said:

Anyone got the collector's edition? I'm thinking of buying it but I would like some insight on how good is it.
Witcher's nothing like Oblivion, the it reminds me a lot of the old PC RPGs with a touch of Diablo. That's the best comparison I can give from the top of my head.bathala said:

Yes, you should buy it. Your new machine will run it great. Q6600, 8800GT, 4gb, blah blah blah here and I can get triple digit fps sometimes with all options fully cranked. Outdoors it's 50-80fps with occasional dips into 30's when the screen is crowded.
Nice title change EviLore, and I'm totally with you in that this is my GOTY hands down. This is the game I never knew I wanted so badly. I certainly hope it comes to the consoles so others can enjoy it. Word of mouth seems to be getting it into more gamers' hands, too.
Yep, it's basically one of the best ARPGs I've ever played, and certainly among the deepest.
Just out of curiousity, do you do anything in particular to get more performance out of your 4gb of ram? I have 4gb and vista 64 but afaict it's not doing much for me.

So I bought the game, and it turns out there is no CD key included to all the bilingual manual Canadian editions of this game :lol
Everyone has to e-mail Atari support for a CD key. Luckily, it lets you play the game without it, but you need it to access their premium forums and SDK for modding, so it's something only a small fraction of people will care about but still, Atari dropped the ball on this one.

I'd like to report that The Witcher is playable on a 6800 256mb and 2gb ram at mostly Med settings, 0xaa 4xaf, Low grass, High textures, Low shadows at 1440x900 resolution.
The game autodetects your LCD resolution but also defaults all your settings to High so be careful, I didn't notice and started the game and the opening in-game cutscene ran like a slideshow :lol

No, not really. What processor do you use, at what mhz? I haven't done much other than overclocking my cpu, my ram is underclocked at 667mhz.
Here's some more pics to get the fence-sitters to purchase:

Uhh...when I try to start up the game it restarts my system...wtf mates?
I just finished the game instead of studying for my finals, and the awesome ending just kicked this game up to being my GOTY pick. 
I've got a question though about the very end:
I've got a question though about the very end:During the ending FMV, when you take the mask off of the assassin, who's it supposed to be? I didn't recognize whoever it was, and it seems odd to just leave the game at an attempted assassination on the king.

The main things you can discern are his eyes. Eyes of a witcher.

I got that this morning! It's very nice, though it took some work, those wyverns are tough. It looks like Harvall is better than the 3xBlue Meteor sword, so I guess I'll just hang onto the blue stones I have. I had been saving up 600 orens to have the sword forged, but Harvall kinda makes that moot.
Oh, I also bedded a Dryad. I feel like such a man!

There's also a nice Assassin's Dagger on a corpse somewhere.
And what do you have to do to bed the Dryad? I talked to her about all the topics but it never went anywhere.

It's during a quest when searching for a bricker child, there should pop up a question about baby dryads or something.Confidence Man said:

Well, I just picked this game up at Best Buy, but I'm going to wait to play it until my 8800GT comes in next week.
One thing that surprised me is how, well, healthy the pc games section at Best Buy looked. It was stocked to the brim with new, high quality games, and the section itself seems to have grown. I was quite shocked. Are we looking at a comeback here?
