Got Witcher 2 this morning... and it stomps all over Skyrim

The prologue of Witcher 2 has been more satisfying than Skyrim as a whole, i'd have to say.

The combat is actually good, and the graphics are great, as is the art style.

Better comparison would be KOA vs Skyrim

Thanks for your insight captain obvious.

Not the same game but I'd much, much rather play Witcher 2 over Snorerim.

I think Skyrim mops th floor with The Witcher 2. The Witcher 2 wasn't bad, but it was a massive letdown. millerlight89

-Crappy combat

-Bland storyline

-Shallow quests, lack of impact on the world

-Meh vanilla graphics

-Repetitive dungeons

Really? I beat Dark Souls last week and it urinates and deficates all over both "RPG's" you mentioned.

They're both RPG's but one's open world and the other isn't, kinda hard to compare.tagyhag

Bananas and apples taste different, but nobody has a problem with my preference of bananas.

Witcher 2 can be a more enjoyable game than Skyrim even if it's not open world. It's not like we can only make comparisons between games with 100% identitical gameplay.

Skyrim feels like a last gen game compared to The Witcher 2. It's not even close.

The Witcher 2 is one of the best games of this generation.

What an oxymoron.

The ability to choose any role without penalty, without environmental/NPC restrictions, defeats the purpose of role-playing.

Bad news then, the prologue is the best part lol.

Really though it's a totally different kind of RPG so I don't know why you would compare them directly.

I love both games and don't really need to compare them.

Did you not read what I wrote?

What if someone loves both?

Cutscenes > forced zoom-in dialogues

Somebody pops out from nowhere and forces you zoom into dialogue mode while enemies keep attacing. lol

I agree. I thought Skyrim was terrible.

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] So class-based RPGs aren't RPGs?princeofshapeir

Did you not read what I wrote?

Becuase that would enable one to adopt multiple roles, butchering the diversity of player-styles (and hence the choices you choose upon your character would lack meaning).

Tell me about it....

The Witcher 2 was a letdown. My main problem was how cinematic heavy the game was. I read somewhere that the game had over 2 and a half hours of cutscenes. That's just too much. Do people really want to spend so much time watching boring cutscenes rather than actually play the game?GiantAssPanda

Every single Witcher 2 cutscene is epic :P

Oh for the love of....HOW can you NOT see that this is clear hatred towards the game!?

I mean, for crying out loud, you may SAY you "like" the game but I am NOT getting that vibe at ALL from you god damn posts. :x

I kind liked, but I stop playing it after ME3 demo came out.
.
Have to say it is probably one of the most beautiful games I've ever played.

They must have really fixed the prologue then. Not to hate on The Witcher 2 as a whole, but that prologue was awful when the game first came out.

Skyrim has already been stomped...by KoA :DSpartan070

OH. GOD. NO.
