i may be able to download it for free, but it doesnt change that it wasnt there when i played it after paying for it, having said that im glad they upgraded the inventory i remember not liking (cant remember why now), hope they make a sequel now, without the need for an "enhanced edition"

Witcher was a good game, especially with the patches that massively reduced the loadtimes, shame they rushed...
I just hope they not only revamp the look of the Inventory, but also the size, its just too small like in so many other rpgs.

Sweet, I've been holding off playing this game until this arrived.

liratheal · 23rd Jun 2008, 12:01

Considering the really mediocre experience I had with the game at launch (The most entertaining bit was the limited edition stuff, which had half of this new 'extra content' anyway..) I think this might be.. A little low on the download priority list.

Probably would need to read the million page manual to work out what the devil the controls are, again.

I quite enjoyed The Witcher, but the frankly insane load times everywhere (even with patch 1.2 or 1.3) got old very, very quickly. I never had it crash on me, though, which was nice.

rDr4g0n · 23rd Jun 2008, 14:16

I LOVE this game. It is exactly the kind of game that makes me extremely giddy (after what i consider the massive let downs of oblivion and gothic 3). But yes, the inventory and load times are the most horrible things ever devised. I am quite forgiving of this genre of game though because there is SO much "stuff" that has to be just right.

either way, I feel this game deserves way more recognition than its getting. The fighting is nice and visceral, the gameplay is good and it has full frontal nudity!

chrisb2e9 · 23rd Jun 2008, 15:34

the only thing that I didn't really like was the long load times. and they are also the only reason I didn't finish the game. i'll get this and then go through it again.

Yeah that's one of the things that annoyed me about the game, I just couldn't put up with those screens any longer.

i thought it was an O-K game. wished they hadn't used the aurora engine though (mainly because i'd prefer an open world with decent/non-buggy movement and combat)

you must be joking, that is by far the worst combat system i've ever used. really, i stopped playing it altogether beacuse of it.

Redbeaver · 23rd Jun 2008, 17:53

minus the full frontal nudity picz, this game is great. a few minor bug but its very immersive and fun to play. but thats just me. and i dont even remember i had issues with loading on my q6600 4gb ram machine.

the fighting is nice and intuitive ALTHOUGH the learning curve is steep. its a pain for the firs few level but once u get the hang of it and able to switch between stances on the fly, its kickass. like, KICKASS kinda kickass.

with the full frontal nudity, this game is bliss. i think ive collected all possible picz minus the main-storyline branching ones where u have to choose one. call me nerdy.

I finished 'The Last Wish', the novel the game/saga is based on, not so long ago. Might pick this up and see how well it has been adapted.

LordPyrinc · 23rd Jun 2008, 23:33

I've played Witcher a little, but experienced some unexpected crashes when I first installed it. A better video card and perhaps some patches later, I didn't have that problem, but occassionally the frame rate seemed to drop off to the point where it was almost unplayable. Probably need to tweak my settings down a little, at the time I was running all the graphics at the max. Perhaps I will return to it again to try it out. Never really got all that far into the game with the issues I was having.

They seem to have missed the important part: Will there be any new women to boink?

CardJoe · 24th Jun 2008, 06:59

I think if you're using the word 'boink' then you're too young to be doing it anyway

crompers · 24th Jun 2008, 10:39

i loved this first time round, may well give it another try
