The Witcher 2 - PC Game

[Tor!]

Skyrim nor Witcher 2 does not deserve the title. None of them are really good when it comes to the RPG part.

Uh.. How can you say that now, over half a year from Skyrim release?

That is easy, it is Elder Scrolls V and all vanilla versions of Elder Scrolls were crap (well Morrowind was not that bad, but still no rpg masterpiece).

Arrived a bit late but ;

Said it well.

Not to mention that from what we've heard from Bethesda so far does Skyrim seem even worse when it comes to "RPG" terms.

I'm not saying the games are bad. I enjoyed both The Witcher and Oblivion(In this case, since Skyrim isn't out yet) They are both quite good series.
But in terms of RPG aren't they so great.

By the way, if anybody is still having problems downloading in Europe via Steam, change your download region to Toronto.

Morrowind not a masterpiece, you cant be serious. You didnt play it for long enough i think 

Twas briliant, absolutely stunning. The atmosphere, the story, you could be whatever you wanted, in any faction you wanted, no quest markers, the rewarding feeling of exploration, the music and the great skill based leveling system that rewards every little thing you do not just combat, the great expansions, great community with plenty of mods. It repetaility is unmatched, you could literaly replay it 10+ times every time doing something different and finding new stuff.

Judging a book by its cover here eyh.. Taking account what they have announced this far, it will be far better than Oblivion, maybe on par with Morrowind. We will find out who is right and who is wrong

... the great expansions, great community with plenty of mods...

This has nothing to do with the vanilla version.
The story was great, but then it has the problem like ever other sandbox rpg from Bethesda, time means nothing. It is always like "Damn we have a crisis here, but no need to rush. Take your time, we will wait until you are ready."

Game itsself is fun so far, pretty hard too... died quite a couple of times during the first 1 1/2 hours already. But I like it, a challenge, as opposed to most current games.

The Witcher 2 is crazy, it caused me to buy a new graphics card!!!
I clicked on the "use optimal settings" button and the game set everything on "high"... what was definitely a fail, the game was lagging as hell. Then I set the graphics on "medium" and still it was really unplayable, only on "low" it ran fine, but looked f***** ugly. In games like Crysis 2 (but not Crysis 1) or Assassins Creed 2 everything was perfect on highest settings and now this... 
So I ordered a new graphics card today, cause my Nvidia Geforce 9600GT is too bad... I chose an Sapphire ATI Radeon HD6870 and hope that it will fix my problems  .

Really a great offer, reduced from 240€ to 166€ http://www.amazon.de/Sapphire-Radeon-Grafikkarte-Speicher-Mini-DP/dp/B004DPDA00/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305742283&sr=8-1

With the new card, my system will be like this:

Win 7 Ultimate 32 Bit
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD6870
4 GB RAM DDR2

Hope it will be enough to play the game at least on "high" settings.

Don't worry, you will be able to use ultra settings with 100+ FPS, ATi ROCKS!

I 2nd that 

[Murmillus_Prime]

It detected my settings as low.... I changed them to high thinking wtf.. Runs fine... Erm... Not too gripped by the story, but I haven't played the first game... Atm in a courtyard having to take on 2 heavy knights, 1 with a shield and 3 light ones and I keep dying... Getting pissed off!

Oh and there's a naked lady in the first part.

[Zergmar]

First one was studio's debut so I guess it had to be a bit glitchy

That's kinda the point of open world/sandbox RPGs, so your gripe is actually with the genre rather than the games, because the Elder Scrolls games are all pretty awesome for the sandbox RPG genre, even with their faults ( barring Oblivion, after a runthrough of that it needed alot of mods to be good after seeing all the broken shit lol ). Come to think of it, there isn't really any RPG's that force you to some kind of time limit, so I don't really see your point anyway, I can't think of a single good RPG that is completely linear and time has some kind of limit.

[EponiCo]

Meh, it had many flaws still.
Wasn't anyone bothered that the npcs were all walking wikipedias/vending machines, you could kill all the nobles in plain daylight and noone would ever say something, etc.. For me it was just all to generic.
