The Witcher 2: Epic, Everywhere and No DRM

[icyneesan]

Oh man I am so close to living out my dream of throwing a marble bust at someone and shouting "BUST! I CHOOSE YOU!!" I'm going to create such bad poblicity for the witcher 2 ll

Every time I see something for this game it makes my mouth water. The combat, graphics, lore, environments, conversations/decisions, and all around gritty storytelling all look superb. Now to top it all off, the collector's (hell, even the "normal") edition looks awesome. I've been looking for a chance to play the first one for a while now (despite Yatzee sub-par review of it), but due to the ridiculously crappy limitations of my current computer, I can't. Hopefully the holiday season will remedy that so I can at least get some time to enjoy the first one before the second comes out.

On a side note, maybe I'm just retarded on the subject (not a huge PC gamer), or maybe it's just a brain fart; what does DRM mean?

DRM... Digital Rights Management... it's the shit that fucks up legitamate buyers' machines (tages, starforce, securom, etc....*ptoo*)

And this is (one more reason) why I love CD Projekt...

And for once Steam is beaten. Sorry Gabe, but that's the way the cookie...oh, he's ate it.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

sounds like Im gonna have to get a physical copy since I miss when games used to come with cool stuff so Im all about cool stuff

Absolutely, cool stuff in the box was great. I remeber when I bought a Star Wars game back in the day and it came with coins from Alderaan and Tatooine. Just something that simple was cool.

I wonder how such a small company can afford this. Expecially after the beating they took on Elemental. They probably NEED Witcher 2 to be a hit in order to survive.

I'm so proud to be Polish at time likes this

I love The Witcher books, I love the first The Witcher game, and The Witcher 2 is my #2 game to buy in 2011 after L.A. Noire. This is going to be sooooooo great.

Now I need to think of where I'll display an imitation marble bust...

In your imitation marble bra?

 

[cerebus23]

this got me even more excited about this game, first game was amazing, hope this one is worth the long wait.

and yes i like my rpgs long and full of depth, tho i had read that w2 will be shorter than the first game which is kind of sad if true.

 

[Andy Chalk]

Are they gonna keep all that great T&A in this one or will they make it tamer?

They've said in previous interviews that they're going to handle it differently but that Geralt's way with the ladies is a big part of the character, so you won't see it going away. And since the first gameplay trailer featured a damsel in distress with her entirely uncovered funbags flapping in the breeze, it looks like they're going to be true to their word.

Sweetening the deal even more, GOG is offering a "fair price package" on the game, giving buyers in Europe and the U.K. an in-store credit in U.S. dollars to make up the price difference between their purchase and the worldwide, ie. U.S., cost.

GLORIOUS

 

[Somethingfake]

Just pre ordered it from gog even though I haven't played the first. Don't really care if I miss on some back story as long as this game is fun to play.

 

[Evilsanta]

DRM free and epic stuff that comes with it! I will buy this, if i only hade money...

Damn it.

 

[Keava]

Thi is how games should be released. I remember back in the days when i bought Baldurs Gate it came with a cloth map, thick manual, a free Forgotten Realms novel and bunch of other stuff, bu default, not in some overpriced CE.
That way gamers at least can feel appreciated and rewarded for buying legit, fresh copies of games rather than resorting to second-hand/piracy.

i want to curse the world for having some important exams in june-july, so in May I'll probably be stressed enough with them that I don't play it until after 15 july....but damn right I'll definetly buy the over the top one when it's released, I'll just drool over it until I finish with learning.
