[QUOTE="mrbojangles25"] [QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="TanKLoveR"]and a very good combat system that u wont get bored of...Rottenberry
Accually i found it extremely boring and easy... There's 2 useful weapons, and then some stupid weak ass spells... If you're fighing people, use one sword, if you're fighting others use the other one...
I don't understand how thats a "Very good combat system" And in truth it is very boring
I'd go for AC i've played both and the witcher's just lame repetitive stuff with a weak storyline and easy battles.
the Witcher isnt a combat-centric game. Yes, it does have a lot of combat, but the bulk of the game consists of really good RPG stuff like dialogue, story, and characters.
The combat isnt great, but its good, and its certainly better than your typical dice-roll RPG stuff if you tend to favor more real-time combat mechanisms.
No, I highly prefer dice-roll RPG combat than Witcher's dull repetitive 1 second clicks. I watch the exact same moves, over, and over, and over again, and really don't feel as if I'm in control of the blade. It shouldn't even be considered a good combat system. I have played nearly every CRPG to date, they are one of my favourite genres, and I know of tons of combat systems, and The Witcher's is simply dull, boring, and repetetive in the full sense of the meaning.
Yes, the game does have a lot of great things that have been missing from RPG's as of late: The dialogue, the story, the choices. But the thing is, there are a lot of poor translation issues, and some rather awkward voice acting which completely pulled me out of the atmosphere. That is why I am considering getting the Enhanced Version when it arrives, to see if it has been improved at all.
Another thing in which the game failed was in it's variety of side quests. Practically every single one of them were remeniscient to those you find in your standard Korean grind-fest MMORPGs. "Kill X of these and return" "Collect X of these from X monster and return" "Find X and return before dawn" etc etc etc.
In my opinion people have overblown The Witcher's quality as a CRPG WAY out of proportion, and perhaps it is because there hasn't been a quality ****c CRPG that we all have grown to love, in years, so at this point people begin to grasp out at anything resembling their beloved ****cs and hold on to them claiming they are "revolutionary".I felt that Mask of the Betrayer had much better dialogue and story than The Witcher and while the choices might not have been as strong the actual quest design was much better. I feel that the game in general is way underrated while The Witcher is slightly overrated. The main flaws of MotB are engine specific, I would enjoy it much more if it ran on the Infinity Engine or the ToEE engine. It also has something called the spirit meter, which isn't a huge problem unless your IQ is in the double digits and you are used to rest spam or the annoying Aurora habit of it having to play the game for you.
