But i laughed at rage being down 50%. I only liked the start of the Witcher, the end was just too crazy and overboard for me, i dont think you really need it. But then again i found Mask of the Betrayer to be annoying too, so you may want a 2nd opinion. | ||

I think it's not as good as 4 in some ways but definitely kept me playing for around 50-60 hours of tooling around on singleplayer alone so I think it's well worth it. | ||

I am around 110 hours on that, it's definitely the game that I have played the most in my Steam library. Pick it up, especially at that price it's a bargain, it's a really addictive and fun game, I guarantee you won't be disappointed if you like turn-based strategy games where you plan everything and the game unfolds slowly and slowly each turn. Graphics are great aswell, they are very nice to look at on the highest details, especially the leader introductions. | ||

I always end up buying the wrong kinds of games because of how good their reviews are. Skyrim, Fallout, Civ 6 and so on. I get so carried away with sales and just end up buying 5 games that i will never play  Also, i'll probably get every game at less than $5, just too cheap to say no to. | ||

Is it slow like fallout or fast like Borderlands? Also, i'll probably get every game at less than $5, just too cheap to say no to. Well, it's clearly a console port. You can't turn off V-sync and almost any graphics settings. It has the most anti-climactic ending ever of all times, as well. However, if you can get it less than $15 I suppose it's worth it if you really like the Borderlands formula. I would wait for Christmas, though, since it's guaranteed to be much less than it is now then. | ||

All other sales are pretty meh for me; I'd recommend Deus Ex but I have it already. I thought about that in summer too and went with playing the Witcher first. Can't say I was disappointed, it is a very cool RPG, feels much more lengthy and full of content to me than Witcher 2 tbh (Witcher 2 was an awesome game, but they trimmed many of the first game's features). Witcher 2 is a much more faster paced RPG, not just necessarily the combat but the way the game flows. Travelling, reading books, drinking, alchemy etc were much more different in Witcher. The zones were much bigger in Witcher, the swamp in Act 2 made me cry with the travelling around, so can't say I miss that. And honestly when I look back, I think the second game fixed those issues for me. In short, if you aren't too annoyed by how the game handles certain features compared to the Witcher 2, I say go pick it up, because the story and dialogue-writing is very good at that game. | ||

I guess I should rephrase my question- is it essential that I play the witcher 1 to understand what happens in 2, or can I just pick 2 up and play it without any knowledge of the story in the first one, the universe, etc.? | ||

You could play Witcher 2 without having played the first game, but its questionable whether you'd want to, since, depending on what things you're judging by, Witcher 1 is an equally good or possibly even better game, and is much cheaper. | ||

There is a lot of car racing involved, which you might not expect from a rpg/shooter. Check out the first view videos in this let's play series, gives you a good impression i think: http://www.youtube.com/user/OMFGcata#grid/user/250845BC24F9807B | ||

No, it is not essential to play Witcher 1 first, though it adds a lot to the immersion and atmosphere, as you already know how it feels to be a witcher. You will also be able to occasionally notice the subtle references to the first game, but no, you don't have to play the first game to enjoy Witcher 2. I still recommend it though. | ||
