Cautiously optimistic



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Well, at the very least, the witcher 3 will have a bunch of sex scenes so if ur ever bored, you can go do one of the many whore in the game and fap


Ah yes, the whores! I spent a lot of gold on those in 2. 50% percent if my screenshot library are the sex scenes XD

Such an overrated game. Good, but not close to as good as critics say. The ammount of bugs really make that Metascore not deserved.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

I'm more worried about the swordplay. I liked the story of the Witcher 2, but the swordplay was completely automated, wich got boring real fast.

Witcher 3 is the game I'm most excited about out of all the announced games.

I have really tried to get into the TES games, but always failed. Morrowind, Oblivion - they are ok, but something is always missing in them for me. On the other hand Witcher games are awesome, I get sucked into them the moment I start the game. They reming me of the Gothic experience. To me there is no doubt about the fact that Witcher > TES. I'm awaiting the next Witcher and hope for a remake of 1 and 2 on PS4/Xbone. When it comes to TES, the thing I'd want the most would be to get one (Morrowind preferably) released on Vita, so that I get extra motivation to play it because of the platform. Maybe being able to play it on the go and in bed would allow me to get into it, cause I just can't find motivation to stay with these games in from of the big screen.


OK, you and others persuaded me: when I finish Gothic II, I'll start The Witcher series, while Skyrim will stay in my backlog (and Morrowind will stay on my HDD, but probably left midway and seldom played as it currently is since I restarted and finished Thief III and started Gothic II). I'll accept the risk of being seriously disappointed by Skyrim if I'll play it after TW 1 and 2, but I can't wait anymore.

Eh? Now The Witcher 2 doesn't have great combat, and it is pretty easilly abused via dodge rolling and Quen. But completly automated? FF XIII has automated combat, Dragin Age: Origins has automated combat, The Witcher 2 does not by any streatch of the imagination. You can't just press one button to win in the Witcher 2, if you could there wouldn't have been so many people calling it too hard, causing the devs to make it easier in a patch.

Cool Just one note - it's not exactly Gothic, but out of the games released nowadays, I think it's the closest. I'd even dare to say Witcher 1 has a striking resemblance to Gothic 1 in terms of locations you explore. You also have to make choices as to who to side with. And it has a real storyline, though it's darker than Gothic. And the world is so nice and gritty - it isn't good or bad. Everything and everyone is grey, as are you and your choices. These games are adult, but then againt - that's exactly what the source material was like. I highly recomend the books - to me they are so much better than Tolkien They are really quality titles, not just toilet books like most fantasy stuff

But to tell the truth, I'd buy and play Gothic I and II in a heartbeat, especially should they port it over to Vita. Playing Gothic in bed <3 Though they'd have to redesign the controls, haha.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Witcher is great...but let's not fool ourselves - there's nothing out there like Gothic, and probably there won't be until Piranha Bytes makes another gem.

You got bored of Skyrim because it just isn't a very good open world RPG.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Its not about difficulty. The attacks are automated. You press the button once and geralt does the rest(goes into auto-attack). Its not visceral at all.

We arent talking about other games here. FFXIII is trash so you wont get any disagreement from me. Dragon Age also had a similar problem, but it still had more action buttons than the Witcher (wich had only 1 if you went into the swordplay tree, with a long coodlwon).

I dunno, i guess i like to push buttons and have new things happen. On witcher it was always the same unless i used a spell or a trap. Dragon Age 2 did solve that problem with the combat, so its not a big problem on the Dragon age series anymore.
