EPTAssissins creed 2 was farrrr better with its crowd control and climbing.... it honestly blows my mind that a ton of bad language, a few sex scenes and pretty graphics is all a game developer needs to hype up sales. The reviewers obviously played the first hour of the game and continued to think the rest of the game would be just as good. No it wasn't. It was bad 5/10

Going through doors with other characters following you is horrendously bad, they shut the door in front of you all the time and you can't go through until they've done their animation so its like an invisible wall.

It was bad 5/10 I think the reviewers played through the whole game, but maybe they found ways to judge the game by other than how climbing the cliffs work. There is combat, doors and cliffs in the first hour of the game, or was that part just trolling? | ||

Played all of them.. and more. Witcher 2 is still better then all of them. Only Planescape Torment, Fallout 1 and 2 and maybe BG2 are better. | ||

Witcher 2 is probally worse than the first one in that regard, while improving on graphics, gameplay, etc. Definatelly more "console like". Something like what they did to Mass Effect. But it's appeal should still be for those that played and liked Witcher 1, it's definatelly not comparable to gama like Assasin's Creed, that's like comparing Mass Effect to Halo, because both of them are shooters. I think the original was still better, the improvements just take those parts of the games from below average to average, which is no reason to buy a game for, while it lost some of that uniqueness from the original. I feel the choices in this game are much more obvious, while they still matter much more than any other game I remember, the consequences are not as subtle as in the original, where you always felt you did something wrong no matter what your choice was. | ||

I am not sure where did you hear W1 was a huge success. W2 is a huge success, W1 was a game everyone praised but nobody played as in it got good reviews but low number of sales when compared to those reviews or other RPG games at the time. | ||

It blows my mind that showing naked lake nimph, who lives all her life in lake, where she doesnt need any kind of cloths and wasnt grow in a fucking victorian, politicaly corect XIX century, is taken as a cheap shot to hype up sales. It blows my mind that western players cannot accept word "fuck" but they like TOTALLY RETARDED, SHORT AND FLAT DIALOGS OF OBLIVION or just retarded in DRAGON AGE 2!!! It blows my mind that they cannot accept the scene when someone cuts the balls off to get revenge, or a veteran soldier fucking a bitch in the whorehouse due to post-war demoralisation, but accept a turbo-idiotic scene in Mass Effect WHEN THE ASSARI JUST PEACEFULLY LETTING YOUR PLAYER TO EXECUTE HER without even trying to argue! It shocks me that someone complaining about boring fights in TW1 or 2 and doesnt see how monotone is combat system in OBLIVION! I can understand that someone doesnt like TW or TW2. But I'M CURRIOUS WHO THE HELL IS PERSON, WHO THINKS THAT OBLIVION IS A GOOD CRPG OR EVEN A User was warned for this post | ||

W2 is a huge success, W1 was a game everyone praised but nobody played as in it got good reviews but low number of sales when compared to those reviews or other RPG games at the time. Super Meat Boy is a huge success, it doesn't have the same amount of sales as a game like Halo. Reccetear was a huge sucess, it has a very low amount of sales. What matters is what's expect for a title, and how much it sells compared to it. If it's a low budget game, or a Indie game, it can be a huge sucess without being a best seller. The original game was definatelly a sucess, considering the fact it was made by a unknown polish company. I don't think anyone expect such a huge positive reaction, both from reviewers and to those fortunate to actually play the game, and it probally sold a lot more than what was initially projected. If a game is designed with the intent of selling at least X copies, but sells 5X, it's a huge sucess. If you take that sucess, make a really high budget second game with the intent of selling 20X, and end up selling 20X, was it really more sucesfull? What I'm trying to say is that sucess is basically how a game can satisfy it's expectations. If they are low, it's easy to be a sucess, but if you set expectations too high, like it's no uncommon in the industry, even games that actually sell a decent amount can be considered failures. | ||

I am not sure where did you hear W1 was a huge success. W2 is a huge success, It sold more than 1.5 million copies.. What are you talking about? These are old numbers too. In between several Steam sales and the launch of The Witcher 2, it's probably sold about 2 million copies by now. | ||

It was bad 5/10 I think I agree with everything you said except two things : - The worst game in the world = 5/10 ? - This was the best RPG i've played in a long time. All right it has it's default, but the roleplay is far better than in any Elder Scroll, the graphics are fancy, the quests are interesting. I loved the scenario and I was glad to be part of the story. + Show Spoiler + Also, go screw yourselves pirates... | ||

Obviously the games I have on my PC aren't everything I've played. I did play Baldur's gate and Elder Scrolls games, for instance. Skyrim is on my to-buy list. And while I was reading the guy's response, I was playing FF13 on my second monitor (a JRPG, so obviously a different genre, but I like diversity and that's the point.) So no I don't think there's any truth to what the guy said, he made an early judgement of my character and was completely wrong. I really do think it was meant as an insult - he was saying I'm shallow or something. Also yeah, I used Quen like crazy and never used Yrden (except for the part where it's necessary). In fact, I still don't know which one of the 2 other abilities does what. I used them both from time to time, but I mixed them up. But basically, I didn't like the game too much, so I rushed my playthrough. Not the other way around. You should play the Iorveth route, imo the better one. Also FF13 doesn't count as a JRPG. Question: Just curious, didn't you have any problems at all navigating through all the caves without using cat? | ||
