Guest Slinky Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 I disliked the sewers and dungeons, rather than have 3 feet of visibility I would crank the brightness and gamma all the way up, instantly making everything very ugly. Drinking Cat potion didn't come to mind?
Gorgon Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 That just made everything blue, small improvement from gray. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Guest Slinky Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 It also improved visibility like x10 if you didn't notice.
Tigranes Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 Swamp was horrible the first time, and especially because the map is really confusing in what you can go through and what you can't. THEN there was a huge amount of back and forth. Second time I played it I noticed that I was economising the running round and new all the routes, and it wasn't so bad.

HoonDing Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 What was horrible about the swamp was that huge, kickass plant popping up on the most inopportune times. I couldn't kill on my first playthrough and had to run away constantly. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Malcador Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 The swamp wasn't my favourite zone, at least in Chapter 2, especially at night - seemed to me more monsters came out then. The Arcehspores or the Coccacidium were almost unbeatable for me when I first played too. Why has elegance found so little following?

I couldn't kill on my first playthrough and had to run away constantly. What were they thinking when they put a special bounty in that spot anyways? The ones before and after are always in more isolated areas and could be easily avoided. But not that plant!

Just set it on fire and beat the hell out of it with strong style. Dies in ~5 seconds.

Morgoth Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 The swamp wasn't that bad. At least it was pretty. Although for some reason I quit playing in Chapter 3. The story was a bit dragging, and the chars were mostly bad written. But I guess CDProjeckt learned from that so that hopefully I will finish Witcher 2. Rain makes everything better.

Yep, second time around I smashed it easy. But the first time out, I had no idea wtf I was doing to be frank, it was a brick wall. Why has elegance found so little following?

Hassat Hunter Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 And the swamp in end-game... I just ran from point A to B the whole time, was painless that way. Same. Still made it a pain to navigate, and hated that I had to clean areas around caves before I could enter, so I had to battle the horde that followed me... ugh. ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Morgoth Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Are these screens old? Wow, this game looks really good. No thanks to being PC exclusive. Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 It looks even prettier than Two Worlds 2. Hopefully the gameplay will be up to par. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Slowtrain Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 What was horrible about the swamp was that huge, kickass plant popping up on the most inopportune times. I couldn't kill on my first playthrough and had to run away constantly. That was a tough fight early in that chapter. Incineration and poson reistance helps a lot. I always used the fast style against the echinops and variants even though it doesn't do as much damage as the strong style. The fast style hits so quickly and often that it prevents counterattacks. 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.
Tale Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Are these screens old? I'm calling bullshot. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Labadal Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Are these screens old? I'm calling bullshot. I would too, but I have seen the game in motion and it looks great.
Labadal Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 "Pre-order trailer" Contains old+new footage. We already know it looks great, now let's hope gamplay and story delivers.
Slowtrain Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I'm just hoping it doesn't end up Americanized for the sake of revenue. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.

Enoch Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 I never got to the Swamp in the first game. It was early in Vizima when I decided that I had given the game enough of a chance and that I'd be having more fun doing pretty much anything else. The combat was the worst of both worlds (too shallow to be tactically interesting while too easy to be twitch-game interesting), the management aspect was a chore, the level design was tedious, the characters were all unlikeable (especially the one I was playing as), none of the factions seemed worth fighting for (including the supposed buddies who the game assumed I would want to help at the beginning), and the misogyny was rather off-putting. So, yeah, it's going to take some reports of pretty impressive improvements to get me to give the sequel a try.

I sorta agree with all those points, but I still quite enjoyed the game. Maybe it was the boobie cards? Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names.
