Zoraptor Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hm, maybe it is just the armour. I reckon his head is too small for his body/ he doesn't have a neck. ISTR Foltest and Radovid had that problem in TW1, though that was because they had rather large epaulettes when wearing armour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) "Premium quality titles", does this mean AA or A? XXX games. Well they did have collectible nudie cards in TW1 and ample sex scenes including some full frontal in TW2, so that's not really much of a stretch for them.

Lexx Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Now that I remember it... Why the game wasn't banned in 'Merica for the nude scenes? Remember how Mass Effect got attacked for the little underwar scenes? Never heard something similar about Witcher 1 / 2. I'll guess it wasn't important for the media oversea?

Zoraptor Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Boobie cards were censored in the US for TW1, with some oh so arty draping of cats and loose clothing. The only place to get censored versions for TW2 was Austral(as)ia as sex corrupts the delicate minds of young Ockers* and they didn't have an R18 classification at the time. Nice progressive New Zealand missed out as well, for the thirty seconds until someone posted a workaround on GOG. *Actually it was only censored when sex was granted as a 'reward', the Triss stuff was not censored but the elf woman/ succubus was.

Tagaziel Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Am I the only one who didn't have a problem with those pin ups? I've got the CE and the artbook is just lovely, the high-resolution pin ups in particular. Plus, there's plenty of strong female characters to balance them out. I liked Foltest's daughter in particular, even if she got in a bit over her head.

Zoraptor Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I didn't have any problem with either the drawings or the sex separately, but found the boobie card 'achievements' rather cringe inducing as it reminds me too much of giggling behind the bike sheds over some magazine when I was 13. It's a bit like Miranda from ME2- I don't mind her character particularly, and I certainly don't mind looking at Yvonne Strahotsky. I did however find the obsession with butt cam and ludicrous poses in ME2 to be embarrassing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Chani was the best girl. Shani was my boo in TW1. Eventually, in preparation for TW3, I'll do a playthrough all the way through the first two games kicking both Shani and Triss to the curb, trying to stay true to Yennefer, or as close as the games will let you.

kalimeeri Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Staying neutral is possible in TW, but it's obviously not what the devs intended ... playing that way is pretty boring, once all your friends give you up as a lost cause and turn their backs on you.

Humanoid Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I've been saying that 2014 can't come soon enough too - somewhat facetiously, sure, but not without a reasonable degree of truth: the first half of this year (yes, there's a day of it remaining) has been a complete write-off for me in terms of new game purchases. Of games released in 2013, I've only gotten thus far Expeditions Conquistador and LSL Reloaded, and thus no games at all from "traditional" development.

Drowsy Emperor Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 That actually doesn't mean anything. Just because they're focusing on the PC doesn't mean typical console features won't be an integral part of the game. But for the life of me, I can't understand why they couldn't make a PC friendly interface for Witcher 2. Is it really that much work in what's already a multi million dollar project? And why they had to include QTE's. И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.

But for the life of me, I can't understand why they couldn't make a PC friendly interface for Witcher 2. Is it really that much work in what's already a multi million dollar project? And why they had to include QTE's. Agreed, I'm just quoting the interview. Their stance all along has been that they want to deliver the same level of quality across all platforms, which is good. Just as long as the PC version doesn't become a second class citizen, I'm fine with it. I'm sure a controller is what they're building around, they should, the type of game this is just naturally plays better with a controller, it's the best tool for the job. Geralt isn't an archer so there's no advantage to mouse aiming and he doesn't have a large enough array of spells that he needs 20 different hotkey slots. The combat system, at least in the second game, is clearly inspired by Batman: Arkham, which is a good model for them to ape since Geralt has similarly semi-superhuman fighting skills to Batman and a small array of signs and tricks, similar to Batman's gadgets. That kind of combat system just works better on a controller, you can make it work fine with m&kb, but it will always feel more natural on a controller. I don't consider building around a controller some kind of affront to PC gaming, I would imagine that the vast majority of hardcore PC gamers have one. It's a rather standard peripheral that has been around for decades. With that said, it does make me feel better that they're currently focusing on PC development. In the end that may not mean anything and it's just a placebo I drank down with a glass of water, but I like feeling better so I'll accept the placebo and like it. As for their interface in TW2, it wasn't ANYTHING friendly. That needs a major overhaul for any and all platforms.

Drowsy Emperor Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I think the game should work well with a mouse and keyboard and I see no reason why that would be hard to achieve. The Witcher 1 worked smoothly that way and its not rocket science to implement. That doesn't mean I'm against playing with gamepads but I don't like PC games being built around controllers when there's a perfectly functional input device on the machine itself. I would never trade looking around with a mouse for a slow and finicky analog stick, and this is coming from someone who spent years playing on PS2's extremely well made gamepads (that still work after 7 years of abuse).
