That's odd - your system specs are slightly better than the one I used to run The Witcher on, and it ran fine for me. :-/Sober Thal said:
I like how they "dumb" down games to run for us console owners. We plug in the game and it runs, no need for multiple settings or checking requirements. It WILL work. The developers have to cater to US.teebeeohh said:
Mods? or HACKZ? Another reason I love my Xbox, hackers on xbox360 are fewer then on PC. Also who says we're not going to get witcher 2 maps for Free?teebeeohh said:
mods. You know those things that modify stuff that the developers may not have had time to completely nail down. Those things that make the TES games truly worth playing. That turn a simulation of medieval warfare into middle earth.the_green_dragon said:
Probably because it's an rpg and it won't have new maps? At best it will have new quests, we probably won't see new areas until an expansion which won't be free. He was talking about the hundreds of mods for Bethesda games that can completely change it. He was talking about the hundreds of free downloadable maps for games like Counter Strike. Also, hackers? *Player has been banned. Reason: Hacking.* What hackers? Admins just ban hackers on our dedicated servers.the_green_dragon said:
yeah, I suppose you have a good point there. But I still like the developers catering for me rather then the other way round.Cadaurny said:Probably because it's an rpg and it won't have new maps?

except that modern consoles require you to install games and download patches, just like PC games. Your original point indicates that you don't know much about PC gaming since the whole "will this run on my computer" thing is not really an issue, if you really care about graphics you have to upgrade frequently but if this is not important to you upgrading your PC is not that important. Thanks to console-centric development that is.the_green_dragon said:
You might not be able to always max it on PC but if you have a half decent computer most modern games will always look better then on a console. And to be honest? I never look for the requirements. I upgraded my computer a year ago with parts that were already a year or two old and I can run pretty much every game I've played on at least medium settings at a high resolution.the_green_dragon said:yeah, I suppose you have a good point there.

Install games are optional, they make them load faster but you don't HAVE to do it, not that it matters. Our patches are also tiny, like 10 mb, and not even that often.teebeeohh said:
Will this run on my computer? Yeah, thats a big point of contention with the newer games, look at some of the older posts, people can't even run witcher 1, let alone witcher 2. If I bought a new computer the same time I bought my xbox 360, my computer would have very little chance of running witcher 2. Xbox launched in 2001 EDIT Xbox360 launched 2005, 9 years ago (6 years ago for Xbox360). If you want to tell me a 9 (EDIT or even a 6 year old) year old computer will run witcher 2 or crysis 2 then my arguements are flawed.Cadaurny said:
You're right. Normal Xbox was 2001, Xbox360 was 2005. Thats still 6 years ago. My bad.teebeeohh said:

I didn't like the first because it became incredible boring in act 2.5(the farm act), Witcher 2 on the other hand is a might stead showing how a proper RPG should be done. (Witcher 2 still doesn't come even close to Baldurs Gate 2).Sober Thal said:
Yes it did, you could import your end of game saves from the original game and have certain decisions you made carry over, much like how Mass Effect 2 handled it. By that I mean that whatever you did in The Witcher, the sequel is still going to play out pretty much the same (the real differences between one play-through to the next spring from the choices you make within the sequel itself), but the game will make reference to things you've done or otherwise adjust itself to things like Adda being alive or dead. You also get an imported version of whatever swords you ended the game with that are a bit better than your starting equipment, an imported set of Raven's Armor that is quite a bit better than your starting gear (and if you upgrade it, you can get through the bulk of the entire first chapter before encountering or otherwise having the option to make a better suit), and a whole bunch of crafting materials, weapon oils, and runes. Also a stack of whetstones, a temporary +20% damage item you can apply to your swords that (as far as I could tell) doesn't exist in the game otherwise, and a percentage of your ending amount of gold.Ghengis John said:
