This.
Can't wait for this game to come out now, especially since it was announced for the consoles as well.
Going to replay Witcher all over again now

 

Well, another video was released.

It looks like I'm going to need a new gaming rig.

 

I'm just now playing Witcher Extended Edition for the first time and it's fucking awesome. When does the new one get released?

 

According to developers they will be working on the game till early 2011. So, IMO, probably summer or fall 2011. And between half a year to a year for console version.

 

A very, very big gallery of screenshots from The Witcher 2. Some are NSFW.

Day one purchase for me and I'm going to fail all my exams because of it

From tomorrow on you can purchase The Witcher Enchanted Edition: Director's Cut for $4,99 from GOG.com

 

I'm going to buy it on the first day after release, but will not play it for the next two months. There is no way I will be able to finish my final thesis otherwise.

 

Just a heads up on the censored version for Aussies and Kiwis. You can get the full version by changing your country of residence in the GOG.com profile to... any other nation. GOG have conveniently decided to disable geo-IP based country detection for their site and will instead send you the correct version of your game based on the info that you provide.

I'd recommend sticking to an English speaking country though, unless you want to get the Polish version or something.

But the only true way of playing The Witcher is to play it in Polish

 

So this came out yesterday, apparently. I was such a fan of the first Witcher, I'm contemplating downloading Steam and installing it right now, then going home early to play it.

Edit: Still at the office. Assuming it'd be installed and I'd be home already on this connection was folly.

Unless I'm completely missing something. Does this not mean it's released? /steam-noob.

Aw, between BC2, Mount&Blade: Warband, Medieval 2: Total War and the CS5 Adobe Production Suite, I'm so going to implode my laptop

 

Yes, that means it's released on Steam. If it wasn't, then it'd say "pre-purchase" like it does for the upcoming Deus Ex game.

 

This game is awesome. I'm only a half-dozen hours into it and it already has me by the balls; it's grim, grizzly and it doesn't shy away from the brutal reality that must have been the Medieval Era. All the characterizations are top notch, especially liked the King.

Gameplay wise the combat is fast, brutal and takes a bit to get used to - prepare to die multiple times when going up against 5+ enemies. The use of your magic and items such as traps, bombs and potions are a must. Also spend a bit of time reading your journal, the game doesn't hold your hand while it guides you through a tutorial.

The only negative I have so far is the AI isn't exactly bright. You can literally lead all your foes into a tight passage, set a trap, and when the lead dude is stunned the rest just pile in behind allowing you to work you magic and easily take care of them. I try to avoid doing this since I feel it cheapens the experience, but if in a pinch the option is there.

Anyway that's my two cents. Best RPG I've played since DA and Morrowind.

 

Yeah, my laptop completely can't handle it. Going to redownload on a desktop this evening. Massively depressing lol.

 

As much as I really want this game, I really doubt that my computer can play it, and I'm not going to waste $50 just to find out that my comp isn't good enough

 

Why redownload? Just copy the steam folder across.

 

Computer specs? You'll find that most games are fairly forgiving on relatively old systems (barring Metro or Crysis).

 

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz CPU, 4.00 Gb RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3670 video card, running on 64 bit Vista. As you may have noticed from the video card, its a laptop. My main concern is the video card; I'm pretty sure it is below even the min requirements listed on steam. If I can run it, it definitely won't be at the best quality.

 

I think it would run the game. I certainly wont say it will be trouble free or smooth per-se, but if you turn down some visual settings, it'll become playable.

That 3670m is already a big jump from 90% of the laptop GPU on the market. I half expected you to say that your laptop had a integrated Intel graphics or something like that.

 

So.

Where the fuck is Cedric?

I'm near the end of the first chapter (Hard difficulty), on the Where is Triss Merigold? quest, supposedly following a trail of blood that doesn't exist to find fucking Cedric. It's 3am. I defeated the fucking Kayran in two tries, but I can't find Cedric. Any help from ye other players would be very much appreciated.

Edit found him. Still no trail of blood. By the waterfall. Literally the only thing about this game so far that's pissed me off.
