Witcher 2 'leaked' video

I didn't mind the sex, but I do think they should have stuck to CGI sequences. The whole dirty postcard collector minigame aspect of it was laughable.

It may not have been their intention, but it sort of pokes the entire "achievement" fad (which is laughable) in the eye with a big rod in a satirical way.

Wow you give these guys way, way too much credit.

Hahaha, so the part with the breasts was apparently just an embellishment by some drunk, fat storyteller (Zoltan Chivay?). In your face, whiners about CD Projekt's "gratuitous nudity".

 

This game keeps inclining with each new piece that comes out.

Great trailer for once. The voiceacting seems to have improved a bit as well. However, can the player select polish voiceovers in the vanilla version this time? I loved playing the game in polish with english subtitles, it added a wonderful flair to the overall atmosphere.

Gratuitous and cheap are two different thing. I mean, in this case by definition people (such as myself) are complaining about cheap nudity, not free nudity! :)

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

It's interesting that "saving" the Baroness isn't even mandatory. One can ignore her and her assets, which will lead into her succumbing to torture and signing the document stating that she did not give birth to Foltest's bastard child.

It might've been only for the trailer. It almost seems a deliberate jab at the naysayers.

 

Too much work for just a trailer methinks.

 

The game looks great. I didnt have much faith they could pull it off again. Only the QTE's are bugging me now.

Why anybody anywhere thinks these are a good idea is completely beyond my comprehemsion.

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Actually, a CDProjekt dev mentioned that they're changing the scene thanks to the press feedback. That's probably the result.

Yes. I don't see the point. No, seriously, I don't get it.

We had tons of games with fighting systems that never needed a single, time based button press to work - or rather, such things were integrated into the combat system, (like dodge + directional key) to be learned just like everything else.

 

I mean, its not like n00bs really need them. Even the worst dilettante catches on after a while. And it pisses everyone else off.

 

The outcry after the first leaked Witcher trailer was sufficient to show that.

 

But they still persist....

I can suffer through QTE's. Looking forward to this.

It's kind of a compromise. Non-interactive cinematics aren't always the best of ideas (exceptions, but far fewer than most recognize). But many developers also insist on trying to be cinematic. Which means camera angles and unique movies that make standard controls useless. Thus they implement a basic action interaction, QTEs.

Game developers who think they are filmmakers. Bleah.

 

Most game developers can't even get gameplay right; maybe they should concentrate their energies there first. :lol:

I'm with you on that. It really should start and stop with establishing shots. And even those are unnecessary.
