I can get you one for $50, if you don't mind dealing with the black market.

A bust would do.

 

 

GOG will sell Witcher 2 day & date without DRM.

Good news then.

The market hasn't changed that much in three years. The STALKER games sold fine PC only, being released in '07, '08, and '10.

4 million copies fine, apparently. I rather suspect the main problem with PC exclusive titles is convincing publishers that they will sell well enough without being multiplatform, hence the rather dodgy ports of essentially PC games like Risen.

 

Still (nota bene, Morgoth) TW2 has got Namco-Bandai publishing so it ain't a problem for them.

What about the rather dodgy PC ports of essentially console games which constitute 90% of the market. Walk a mile in our shoes buddy.

I preordered my "Stupid Geralt's Head edition" .

Can't ****ing wait

Also I love the fact that even in regular edition we have a map, a guide, an Audio CD version of the soundtrack and making of DVD.

I'll wait for a gameplay video before I'll allow the hype to get to me.

 

If this QTE crap is anything like Ninja Blade, I'll give the game a pass completely, no matter the amount of b00bies.

i'll take this. I can get plenty good stuff for those extra $16 we pay compared to US price. :D

CDProjekt has my respect for this. I'm considering my first pre-order ever.

Is this the first time GoG has sold a new release?

Yep.

And it's all because CD Project owns GoG and Witcher.

Pre-ordered on GOG.com.

 

Can I cancel my The Witcher 2 preorder?

 

It isn't possible to cancel the The Witcher 2 preorder, however preordering it on our site doesn't require you to purchase the game on our site, or at all. We would be more than happy should you wish to purchase this game from us eventually, though.

 

And I've already got my goodies.

Pre-ordered. Gotta give them props for doing this.

Yipee. GoG.

Is Geralt not human? Whats with the feline pupils?

Effect of the "Cat" potion? That would be nice.

 

And talking about Special Edition goodiees, why don't they put in a metal witcher's medalion? I would definitely pay for that instead of a head. For gamer's it's The Witcher's icon, and for those not it's still a really badass looking wolf... win/win :D.

Extensive mutagen use during his trials to become a Witcher made Geralts hair permanently white and pupils vertical.

And sterile to boot.

I noticed you can pre order Witcher 2 already. Is there a release date for this thing ?

The pre order goodie on STEAM is two paper cutout dolls + assorted other junk.

 

I mean, come on, that's the worst idea ever. Besides, I'm getting it on GOG, no 'game not available' nonsense.

May 17th was the date mentioned a lot.

Pre ordered on GoG too.

Been a while since I held a nice printed manual, but what the hell.

CD Projekt to take measures against pirates

CD Projekt to take measures against pirates

 

Huh. I've never heard of a game company doing this. I like that they're releasing it without any protection. It would be amusing if the most effective piracy measure is the most old fashioned and didn't bother regular customers at all.
