Next gen rubbish can't hack it and PCs cop it. Again. Then they decide to stuff another character in even though the whole point of the series and books is Geralt. This should have remained PC exclusive and it would have been released on time. Witcher 2 was consolized; I'm not holding my breath for this. 35x larger to cover themselves from the corridor RPG No 2 was. Just because this is magical CD Projekt doesn't mean it won't be a mess.
Well, it couldn't be all rainbows and unicorns in here. The inevitable clueless diarrhea post had to happen.

Witcher 2 consolized lmao. It was PC only for about a year before being ported and released on 360. STFU

How was the full screen console UI designed for TVs that CD Projekt themselves fixed in the Enhanced Edition? How were the corridor levels with zero exploration compared to 1? How was the lack of Acts compared to 1? It was on PC but was obviously planned for consoles.

The original had 5 Acts and easily cracked 50hrs, the 2nd was heavily cut back to barely over 30 and 3 Acts. And pffft, replay the game to get the second path.

How does the length of a game even indicate if its for a console or not? By your logic, Dragon Age Inquisition is not a consolized game because it's 3x the length of DA2.

Sounds like you skipped most of TW2, didn't bother to explore the world, didn't bother to talk to anybody, etc. Length of game has nothing to do with whether it was consolized or not. And TW2 was not even remotely a consolized game. A page back, you weren't even aware who the main character in the Witcher series was.

The story revolves around Geralt, the titular Witcher (even though the books do focus on Yennefer and Ciri), and I deliberately separated the paragraph about length. Point was, 2 was too short, and I played it twice.

The books revolve around Ciri. And if TW2 was too short for you, you skipped a shitload of it. Quests aren't lit up by giant yellow ! over NPCs. You have to actually talk to people, go through dialog, explore the cities.

TW2 is probably the least consolized major release in the past few years.

That! I'm replaying the game right now and discovered stuff I didn't bothered to explore in my previous playthroughs.

The game is sandbox and a bit linear yes but it is extremely well made and I can't see the consolized stuff you're talking about escrow4. Looks like another case of blind buy. Inform yourself before spending money and know what you buy, you won't be frustrated and puke random comments without constructive informations to back them.

Anyone here played No 1? Seen the open areas in say Act 4 with all those fields that were not corridors? Guess not.

Finished The Witcher 2 yesterday. Great experience, cool story, well made dialogues and after wandering Skyrim for 200+ hours the sandbox/linear design was welcome.

I don't even think I had moved past 10% of the game and I was like 10 hours in....

He's the only person I've heard say they liked 1 more than 2....I avoided 1 for that reason.

I talk to like everyone though and try to understand as much of what's going on as possible.

Other playable character is confirmed to be Ciri.

http://techraptor.net/content/cd-projekt-red-confirms-ciri-playable-witcher-3-wild-hunt

According to the press release Ciri will have her own set of skills and a more agile fighting style compared to the much stronger, slower combat of Geralt. She also has the ability to “blink” or teleport during combat. Check out the trailer mentioned in the article down below. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt releases on May 19th of 2015 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Figure I can share these now, since my copies are on their way and I don't think these are entirely legal. These are printed using the fan translations. Quality is decent, though the prose has the same oddities you'll get the fan translated PDFs.

The only game I was hyped for more, ever, was Skyrim and that game fulfilled everything I was expecting and then some. Can't wait for TW3 Those screenshots and gameplay videos look so sick... :awe:

Makes sense that ciri would be playable here as it gives them a direct tie in to the next witcher game. Just wonder how prevelant she will be in it, I've rather enjoyed gerralt and am excited to finish out his storyline

Will you be forced to play Ciri in the game or will you choose a character and playthrough the storyline with it?
