[QUOTE="goodstuffman44"][QUOTE="turtlethetaffer"]

[QUOTE="goodstuffman44"] the witcher focuses on melee combat. you might aswell play a game with superior melee combat like nightmare creatures.turtlethetaffer

So you've played Witcher 2, have you? Also, the combat in RPG's, especially on PC, tends to be very, very deep, and not just button mashing like you would see in a beat em up. i would think you have of all people would appreciate that.

lol button mashing? you cant even move and melee that's what i call crappy gameplay.

but some people enjoy that. And there are some RPGs where you can. But the genre doesn't appeal to everyone, and I can see why, but many people, myself included, like the genre. Rpgs are more about character and/ or party building and using that to overcome challenging obstacles. Combat is just a part of it. Which is why RPGs tend to be very deep.

[/QUOTE the gameplay mechanics arent deep at all they have very poor fighting mechanics. How is selecting some crap from a menu deep? rpg's are basically story first gameplay last. ]

Well, it doesn't matter how I answer this question, because you'll either ignore it or will come up with some ridiculous comment about RPGs, so i think I'm done with this conversation. I've already explained to you how RPGs are deep; building a character/ party that is near unbeatable, finding the best equipment combination, and many have different branching paths. If that isn't deep to you, I can't help you. Goodbye.

[QUOTE="goodstuffman44"] Same here started on atari2600. First place i seen double dragon or mortal kombat or street fighter or virtua fighter or tekken was in the arcade.goodstuffman44

what does that have anything to do with the current discussion?

rpg's just seem like crappy beat em up games trying to have a story.

Aww, it must be hard being able to enjoy games if you have trouble read more than 2 lines of text at once.

Lol the models look great, it's just the videos fault. It's running at a low resolution and is compressed a lot.

Oh and weren't you the dragon age 2 fanboy? At least now I know you were trolling.

Yes, I'm sure that a one month away look of the game can't possible account for the drastic changes within this time frame.

SkyWard, not even CD Projekt Red would engineer a game trailer that included all of the meshes and textures comprising the game's graphics. Of course they'll make it cheaper by using lower resolutions and so on.

Games can significantly improve their graphics in the span of a month. I remember World in Conflict significantly improving its looks within the month before its release.

Well geez. Would you look at that? It appears that for some very strange reason the trailer has reduced the visual quality of Dragon Age 2!! Who would have thought that would happen!

I would say its silly to pass on it so quickly. The Witcher was their first game, and fan opinion influenced the second game greatly, they've used a lot of what they've learned. The combat is completely different and the dialog and such is said to be a lot better.

Ya, which is funny considering that DA2 has like 3 enviornments.

I think I've seen more variety of enviornments in Witcher 2 trailers than my 30 hours of beating DA2 + most sidequests.

I don't think DA2 was a horrible game but it wasn't as good as Origins.

I also don't think DA2 looks horrible although it's nothing to right home about.

Skyward, you may of liked DA2, not a bad game, but why are you going against reality so much? even reviewers that loved DA2 are stating how much better Witcher 2 is....

its pretty much trolling at this point. I knew you would give a direct feed screenshot of DA2 and keep the screenshot trailer one. il do the same now then:
