Kaftan Barlast Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 My neighbour downloaded it and he said it was so bad that he uninstalled it after only an hour of playing it.

I don't know if he's for real, but if he is: WTF Oh my gosh, are you saying that a bit part of dialogue was cut in the English translation?!? The horror! Peasant lady #27 was robbed of her shining moment! Oh and Kaftan, your neighbor has got something wrong. At its worst, it's a decent action-RPG. Did he pay for it or pirate it? Did it run on his computer well? It's pretty demanding system wise, I was a bit frustrated until I fiddled enough to get it run smotthly.

Bela Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Oh and Kaftan, your neighbor has got something wrong. At its worst, it's a decent action-RPG. Did he pay for it or pirate it? Did it run on his computer well? It's pretty demanding system wise, I was a bit frustrated until I fiddled enough to get it run smotthly. The prologue is also very long (lots of cut scenes) and, um, kinda boring IMO. It gets more interesting after you finally leave Kaer Morhen. I'd been having problems with the game locking up on area transitions (it'd hit the CD, the drive would make a little chirping noise and go into an infinite seek). This occurred about every 30-40 minutes. I'd have to eject the CD so it could CTD. I think it's the *$@# copy protection. I followed the instructions in this thread and it crashes less often now (merely every couple of hours).

mkreku Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 I'm buying The Witcher today. And I'm so ****ing glad I don't live in the "land of the free". Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Tale Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Someone please tell me why Royal Mail fails so bad. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Pidesco Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 It's the monarchy's fault. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
Moatilliatta Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Actually I've heard they blacklist you if you badmouth the queen!
alanschu Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Someone please tell me why Royal Mail fails so bad. Buy another game. I guarantee your copy will arrive the next day.
Tale Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Day 12: It arrived. I once again find myself jealous that Euros get sturdy DVD cases while us yanks only get crappy paper boxes. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Tale Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 The installation gave me two options. Easy Installation - Quick installation with default options. Custom Installation - You can customize all available options. Being the self-empowered daredevil I am, I risked the custom installation. The sheer list of options was immense. I could set the install path under Program Files, I could set the install path to another directory, I could set the install path wherever I wanted. I truly am in charge of this installation. MAD WITH POWER! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Pidesco Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I was checking out the patch notes, and I saw this entry about nurses and sex being fixed. Suddenly, I feel an urge to get this game.

Tale Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) So, apparently the editing of the english script has been confirmed multiple places: http://kotaku.com/gaming/censorship/no-pri...cher-320696.php http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?...7648&page=8 http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=21134 http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?...mp;topic=3855.0 http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/the-witc...s-93581-p2.html Reading the excerpts, it's nothing meaningful that's been cut. However, in some cases it is the maturity of the dialogue that has been cut. A lot of flavoring dissapeared. And it appears to have been done because of agreements with Atari, not necessarilly censorship. My wager would be that it relates to voice acting costs.

Pidesco Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Well, that sucks... "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.
jaguars4ever Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Just finished downloading this game from Atari's website. The intro FMV was OMFG-th4t-iz-teh-awesomeness on my HD Widescreen monitor. I hope this game pwns. More importantly, I expect you all to hook me up with whatever nurse-sex-dirty-talking-enabling options available at my disposal.

Tale Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 I think the US version probably still has the sex. In fact, the sex isn't very racy. It's an FMV that occurs each time it happens that doesn't show much. What I imagine was censored are the cards you get for special "conquests." I don't know if they were simply censored or if the cards were removed entirely. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Pidesco Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 The 2D cards are just part of what was censored in the US version.The Euro version has a few encounters with bare-chested females and also a bit of full frontal nudity. This is what my Google skills have come up with.

Tale Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) I want to give an impression of the game. When the game claims to be "mature fantasy" it's not referring to sex and cussing. It's referring to the "decisions and consequences." My Geralt recently found himself making a choice between a group of rapists, slavers, and murderers and someone who's been profiting off them (names withheld to avoid spoilers). All of their hands are dirty, but I chose the profiteer. For two reasons: 1) She's hot. 2) They're jerks. Also! Last Wish is coming to the US. Too bad it looks like it's coming May '08.

Rhomal Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Leave it to the hypocritical puritan/xian values that seep from the US; no problem hacking people to bits. Our teens playing such is fine. But show a beauty of the female form and OMG the kid is going to be forced in a padded room!!!!11. All the bible thumpers have to come out in force and tell us we are all going to burn in their fictional hell because we are tempted by their fictional satan by viewing a naked (digital or otherwise) female. Worst thing that ever happened to this country; the bible belt. But I digress. Sorry about the tangent, but needed to be said.

Problem solved. - J.E. Sawyer --- "I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente --- Expecting "innovation" from Bioware is like expecting "normality" from Valve -Moatilliatta
alanschu Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Such actions are present in other places of the world other than the US. Remember the zombies in Carmageddon for some European countries?
