Witcher 2 - conundrum

[Kainz]

Er Witcher 2 has very little in the way of good 'loot'. Most of the items you get are very standard affair stuff. Hell even Witcher 1 had better loot, and that loot table alone was rubbish.

The leveling thing I can understand. I had finished the game by accident and hadn't even finished off a full skill tree, despite doing everything in the game. Having said that, I cannot understand why you want to 'play' the game if only to level up Geralt and bypass the storyline? As you already know, W2 is more story driven rather than about character development.

Surely an MMO would be more suited in every way you describe.

true dat. but i don't want to start a new mmo, with hot new releases around the corner, so thought i'd give this game a shot hoping that they would have addressed the shortcomings of the first game

not sure why this thread is turning into it's a story game which is not the point. anyway signing out, bored of reading sheeps making the same comment over and over again without answering a simple question

Wait.........you skipped the cutscenes?



So you missed the boobies!?

 

[Shamikebab]

thx for that wonderful insight. btw all rpg are story driven.

No they aren't.

that said i don't care for the witcher story, it isn't pulitzer prize material

How can you not care for something if you're just skipping it all anyway? What are you basing your lack of care on?

thx to the ones that actually bothered with constructive responses, so i will go for Iorveth's path since many in other forums seem to agree as well

Why? What are you playing this game for? You've just come in here and made yourself look like a bit of a berk. What next? "I thought Half Life was a bit crap because combat with the crowbar was really boring, oh I don't really like guns"

Oh and by the way it's thanks not thx. And everyone came up with constructive responses, they constructively pointed out that you were being a bit of a fool by criticising a game that you weren't even playing properly.

are you a tool or a troll?

1. name 1 rpg that doesn't have a story

2. did i say i skip all scenes? i said a lot. i did go through them at start but then got bored, so started skipping many of them

3. thx for the grammar lesson

4. i don't play the game properly says the fool that couldn't figure out how to beat the Kayran when it is pretty much spelled out for you in the game if you bothered paying attention to the story you so love

finally get over yourself simply because i do not care much for the witcher story ; furthermore we are talking about a game, hence the pc games section, where gameplay is an important aspect which you simply brush aside.

PS a constructive response would have been to answer the question and say which path was your favourite, perhaps even why, which you did not do. if you feel flaming someone for not liking the game story is constructive, so be it.

I think people are asking the same about you.

1. name 1 rpg that doesn't have a story

To rephrase: name 1 rpg that isn't story driven.

Answer: Oblivion. There is a story but you are not forced to follow it, unlike say The Witcher 2.

2. did i say i skip all scenes? i said a lot. i did go through them at start but then got bored, so started skipping many of them

That's like reading one chapter of a book, skipping to the end and than complaining that you don't understand.

3. thx for the grammar lesson

Good to see you took the advice on board.

4. i don't play the game properly says the fool that couldn't figure out how to beat the Kayran when it is pretty much spelled out for you in the game if you bothered paying attention to the story you so love

That has very little to do with anything. Did you do it first time? Or more to the point, do you even know why you were killing the Kayran?

finally get over yourself simply because i do not care much for the witcher story ; furthermore we are talking about a game, hence the pc games section, where gameplay is an important aspect which you simply brush aside

And story too apparently.

I laugh if there's a witcher 4 and all Witchers 1-3 which isn't ou yeat was just a dream.

 

[Shamikebab]

Don't resort to insults just because you know you're in the wrong, nearly EVERYONE in the thread has pointed that out.

Where did I say there weren't any that didn't have a story? I said weren't story driven So Diablo 2 for example, yeah it has a story but you could quite happily ignore it because the focus is on character building and levelling. That sounds like the sort of game you want.

You basically just picked completely the wrong game and are now bashing it for not being a completely different game.

You still haven't said why you want to play the game if not for story? why not just go play a game that actually gives you what you want?

 

[KiiYzOo]

oh and btw the story doesn't tell you how to kill the kayran, you get told whilst your fighting it!

 

[Pighardia]

I agree with everyone in the thread, it just clearly isn't the game for you OP.

However, why is this game seemingly beyond criticism? I liked the game generally but think it is incredibly overrated.
I'm almost reluctant to say anything against it, as when i have in the past people have crawled out of everywhere to say it's the best game ever etc, and i didn't understand it or whatever.

I think that if this game was made by any other publisher (if this was made by EA) it would actually be pretty poorly recieved tbh. People seem to overlook flaws in this game that if they were in DA2 for example would be ripped to shreds.

Anyway it's still a decent game, just nothing special imo.

I understand what you mean, but its just a bit annoying if someone says that a game has a bad story, even though you've only watched some cutscenes
The witcher 2 is a good game, but nowhere near oblivion imo
