Message from CDProject + Poll Buying the game !!!

My question is: Will your imported game save affect major choices in the game, therefore, impacting one of sixteen different endings. (:

Elann2008

We don't know yet. We do know that the start of the game changes depending on what choices you made in the first game, and that some of our items will carry over.

[QUOTE="macronia"][QUOTE="Elann2008"]

Depends on how you play, but it will definitely be 20+ hours. Some say 40+. I mean, 16 different endings. (: It's gotta be pretty long.

You can read about it here

I'm replaying The Witcher now. I'm not sure how much your game save affects The Witcher 2 but I no longer have my original game saves so I'll be replaying TW1 the entire weekend. I kinda want to get back into The Witcher world to get a bit warmed up. (:

Elann2008

You should finish it even if you don't care about the game save. I read that depending on the choices you made in TW1, certain important characters will react differently to you. Obviously at this point, they're not revealing much due to massive spoilers. We'll soon find out Tuesday. (:

"There will be a mechanism for importing your status from the first game," one member of developer CD Projekt RED explains. "Also, players will see the choices they made in part one reflected in part two. For instance, certain characters from The Witcher might treat us differently depending on how we completed that game."

Taken from here.

"PS3...it will also happen some day"

That doesn't mean what I think it does...does it? Or did I miss something there?

The correct way to write PS3 is PPPS because PS means Post Script. The PS3 was an intentional nod to the Playstation 3.bonafidetk

Let's say you're right. What about Xbox 360? Why was that system not hinted in there? A PC timed-exclusive, only ported to one console system? Now, why would a smart developer like CD Projekt RED do that? :roll:

And I don't think they would throw in some hint or clue to console gamers when they're sending out a message to the PC community. Why mix the two? Why not just make a separate announcement or hint to console gamers with a different message in a different time. Why do this when the PC exclusive game is about to come out in just a few days. Just doesn't make any sense. If I'm wrong, then this is really distasteful.

ok, just for the sake of argument im going to ASSUME you are completely unfamiliar with the development of the witcher 2.... because it certainly seems so.

it has been said multiple times that CD projekt intends to bring the game to consoles. PS3 specifically. however, it has been stated many times that they cannot do it right now, and that it may happen in the future.

therefor, if you are familiar with the game and its development, you can see that this is a clear indication that they still intend to release the game for the PS3. XBOX360 has never been stated as an intention, but PS3 has been.

NICE TRY THOUGH. please try to act less snide in the future when you clearly are uninformed on a topic.

I'm very familiar with the development of The Witcher 2. They have talked about.. and that is all. No clear sign that they are going to port it over to consoles. Just rumors. But you sound like you want this to happen. Why would you want an adored franchise and developer to port The Witcher 2 to the consoles? You know that will only spell doom right? I'm not an elitist, but I kinda want certain games to remain PC exclusive. I have a PS3 and Xbox 360 as well, for their exclusives. I wouldn't want The Witcher franchise to step foot into the console territory given any chance.

Snide? You're assuming I don't know about their talks about a console version. I am well aware of that. But thank you for being mature about it. I appreciate the name-calling. And you really had to edit your OP just to throw it in there. Real tasteful. (:

Just bought it yesterday. I usually don't pre-order games, since I've been burned before, but this just looked too amazing to pass up.

thank the lord there are still people out there using successful, innovative, and refreshing marketing strategies.

Like when they shut down GoG.com and prenteded that they were going out of business for several days?

this PR campaign about witcher is pretty funny.. check my blog to know why their having at it so hard.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="ultrapc"]

Got it preloaded and ready to go :D

Except for one thing - it's only got 95% of the files, they said the rest of the files will be up on May 17.:P

Already pre-ordered from Amazon :P

No, I don't like bad RPGs. The first game turned me off of the series - bad combat, recycled NPCs, garbled story. A little T & A just can't make up for all that. As the old saying goes, you can't put lipstick on a pig.

[QUOTE="macronia"][QUOTE="Elann2008"] *high-five* (: I like the BioWare games, but no where near as much as I do with The Witcher. BioWare as of late has disappointed anyways. Again, not bad games from BioWare, just disappointing ones. Even Mass Effect 2 was disappointing. Elann2008

Wider audience = TEH SHOOTURZ PEWPEW = Even less RPG elements (but ME2 was a TPS!) = Reviewers and users vastly overrating it as "Best game/RPG of all time."....= MOAR MINERAL MINING!

Ehh... there are better games, I have my plate full as it is, and I'm not a huge fan of Japanese games, especially JRPGs. Plus the way the dude holds swords in the first. But seriously, I'd play a BioWare game over the Witcher ANY day.realguitarhero5

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="macronia"] Agreed , I liked Dragon age and Mass effect 1 but Mass effect 2 was little disappointing i had my moments with it , i didn't try dragon age 2 yet , but i am glad that they delayed Mass effect 3 and they better not to disappoint me :PChubbyGuy40

Personally I don't really think any of those things made it a bad RPG - the roleplaying itself was really good, the story gets much better as it goes along, and the combat isn't particularly bad (especially if you use signs to keep things interesting).

Also, why would the first game's flaws have any impact on the second game? They've got money and great feedback now, so I'm sure that everything is in order this time around.

Pre ordered on steam..They havent done pre loading yet..Im waiting for it..Hopefully they will pre load it today..So this way we can just jump in and play..Ive got to good games do out..Ill play the witcher 2 first than la noir second..

I just pre-ordered it from GG. I wasn't planning on buying it till I watched some videos of it and I saw how awesome it looks especially the quality of the quests, they'remore interesting.

[QUOTE="TerrorRizzing"]

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

Lol. That's not what it means at all. I think you misunderstand the "PS3" part. :P

I can't think of anything else it was hinting at?

Maybe they are referring to the day when PC gaming becomes mainstream again and everyone recognizes our god-like essence?

[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"][QUOTE="Elann2008"] The "glass half full" guy in me thinks that.. Point being, I really hope I'm wrong, lol. ME2 barely had any RPG elements in it. KalDurenik

Too bad you're wrong, but since you don't want to discuss it, I'll just leave you to boil in your own soup ;)

I'm getting more interested in it. I have been trying off and on for the last 2 months to get into Witcher 1 and figured I would try yet again last night and load it up for 10-15 minutes. 4 hours later with me passing out at the keyboard very late at night made me to realize that this game is in fact very awesome! :)

The first one is in my backlog of games, and I just started mass effect 1. Did you guys enjoy mass effect or the witcher better?

I'm waiting for a price drop. I still have a few rpgs to play through and didn't like the first one as much as a lot of people on here.

Wasn't thinking of buying it but now that I read we will have free DLC gonna wait till price go lower.

Got my copy from Steam.

Here's the story. I upset him about the PS being a post script, so he won't let go and has come back nearly 24 hours later to quote me on a DIFFERENT subject (mass effect 2). We all know it barely had RPG elements. It's more a third-person action-shooter than anything. If you ripped out the constant dialogue encounters, it would be categorized mainly as an action-shooter. (:

It's quite entertaining actually. Better to be quoted than not ever. ;o)
