Is there a storyline for this series? If so will need to get the first two games

Yes. But I did not play Witcher 1 and still could understand most stuff going on in 2. There's also a summary video of the story in 1 they made, on youtube


But is it worth playing the actual first game or just skip to part 2 ;o

It's worth it, but the quality difference is like Uncharted 1 to 2 from the two titles.

That comparison doesn't help me cause I haven't played uncharted but I get what u mean I guess

Both are very good games that are worth a try.

And given that they changed the combat from the first to the second, not only the graphics but the gameplay is different too.

its best to play it on PC if you want the full story. I believe one story transfers over much like Mass Effect or Dragon Age but your actions truly play out the way the story will end. Everything you do affects it, so in that way its better than Mass Effect or Dragon Age, just underrated. I played it on the 360 and was blown away by how amazing it was. I got three totally different endings and the world was affected depending on my playthrough.

"All top of the line consoles" lol...so that leaves the Wii U out.

-this user was warned for this comment by amp316

What a silly thing to warn somebody for. It's probably true, I mean, what else could they have meant by that? They weren't talking about 360-ps3...right? Oh whatever.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords

S.T.A.G.E is really a pathetic person isn't he? Just posting what a lot of us think.

Anyway witcher 1-2 did not do it for me but the new skyrim approach can do it for me.

Its not that his a Pathetic person. Its just i dont see why people are even thinking of the WiiU in the first place when it comes to this game?. I mean before the witcher 2 no one was thinking of this game or the witcher 2 coming to consoles so whats the point in even bringing the WiiU into it?. Why all of a sudden should this be "Hahahaha i can now laugh to myself cos the WiiU most likely wont be able to run this game, wait im going to go post that", is it meant to be funny somehow?, do people get a kick out of such things?, If they do they must live a sad life is all im saying..


Errr... You are taking this way too personal though. It's not like he's laughing at you or anything. The Wii U will indeed lack a lot of third party support this gen, because ports of games for the PS4 and NextBox won't be possible unless they basically redo huge chunks of the game and tone down the physics engines to make them fit the limited power of the console.

But again, S.T.A.G.E. isn't attacking anyone with his comments, so I really wonder why you'd be so defensive over this and drag it for the rest of the thread... -_-

The faster you'll accept that the Wii U is again an underpowered console, the better you'll be.  I'm sure it didn't prevent you from enjoying the great Wii games during last gen, so why should it matter and bother you here?  Great games are what matter, no?

It's a bit sad that Nintendo isn't pushing everything to the same limits the others do, but hey, a new type of controller every gen is more than enough, right? 

I wasn't even talking to anyone or trying to start a flame war, but rather just laughing off a brutal truth I wish wasn't the case for Nintendo. They are even talking about this very same thing on the Gametrailers.com Bonus Round about what Nintendo will have to do to survive the lack of third party support. Zero has been on my case a couple times already pertaining to any Nintendo comment, so I definitely know its a Nintendo thing. I've stated time and time again that I am eventually getting one, but again the passion some feel blinds them into needing to defend a company. I wish the Witcher 3 could be on all consoles because everyone deserves a chance to play the sequel of such a masterfully crafted franchise.

 

P.S.

Personally, I don't care if they rat me out tot he moderators, I know I wasn't trolling.

I have been on your Case when it comes to PC gaming too, Remember when you tried saying "PCs dont sell games?", or that "They dont use joypads etc etc"?? yeah? good lulz. Also i only get on your case cos you do a lot of bad talking other systems. Im pretty sure anyone that knows you knows this to be the case.

If you just left out the sly jabs and stuff like that you would be a pretty cool user but ah well



I take jabs at all consoles. I could make a list of all the cons of all platform makers, thats just how I am. I can also give a good review to any company.

^^^^^^ I would like to point out I was thinking exactly what stage wrote about the Wii U before he wrote it. I happen to think it is worth laughing at when Nintendo fans on hereact entitled about getting every third party, yet never play another platform to play the games they claim they want. Take fault for you not being open minded.  And Zero is the one that looks foolish in this thread for taking it so personally. Amp also looks sensitive. I do not cry I had to play the Witcher 2 on 360 even though it is not my console off choice.



Mr Khan on 05 February 2013

This thread is about Witcher 3, not about Wii U (and i note that it's the Nintendo detractors who brought it up and have been gloating over it all thread)

Next person that mentions Wii U will get moderated, and the thread will be locked, and we can try another Witcher 3 thread...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I have witcher 2 on x360 and havent played it yet. Looks like i have some catching up to do.

The Witcher 2 is at 7.49 pounds on Steam in the Midweek Madness. Go get it if you haven't, this is an awesome game.



Wagram on 05 February 2013

Damn it is confirmed to be the last Witcher title. That sucks :(
