The Witcher

[Cain]

This wildly popular game is apparently not a part of our board. Any reason why? I'll comment on it when it arrives.

[Sage]

Well, Yahtzee said it was horrible and that we shouldn't play it.

We all take him very, very seriously.

In truth, though, it's a PC game, rite? My PC is powered on coal and broken dreams. Neither of which can push electricity fast enough to run such a high-demand game.

[Cain]

It'll be multi-console soon. But PC it is. It's based on the Aurora engine by Bioware, at least on the P.C.

Baldur's Gate was officially horrible, but I'm hoping this will be awesome.

[Tyr]

What, this game is ancient news, why did this come up now?

It's a game where you're a monster hunter that gets laid an awful lot like a mini-game you collect small cards of them flashing their bosoms.

I had fun with it. My only real complaint was how useless the Signs always seemed to be. It was way more worthwhile to put points into the sword styles instead of the stupid wanna-be magic. That said, I never actually got all of them, so it's possible they end up rocking everyone's shit.

And wtf, Cain. Baldur's Gate is awesome. You just have to have more patience than the average FPS fan.

Thank you. I was about to commit murder. Over a video game.

How pathetic would that have been?

Prefer BGII, though. Irenicus is an epic villain.

[Cain]

BG2 was the one I had. It was slow and the graphics were terrible compared to others like BG2 (D & D2). But playing wc3 before this game may have had effects on those complaints. I also didn't know what I was doing for the majority of the time I spent playing it. Someone dies, there's like a thief guild, if you kill people in town the order comes and arrests you. All I remember.

The magic was really only a backup ability. It was best to rely heavily on the swords, and if you needed a little extra damage, you used the signs. The Ignis (fire) Sign was good if only for the burning damage.

But yeah, it's a worthwhile game to play.

I'm confused here. You had Baldur's Gate 2, which was slower and graphically inferior to ... Baldur's Gate 2?

[Kaden]

I think he meant to say that it was inferior to other games that were, themselves, like the game he was talking about.

[Kole T. Merr]

Oh, okay. Just slightly confused by the wording.

Anywho, I remember hearing a lot about this game a while ago, but then nothing.

[Kaden]

I absolutely loved (in a horrible way, of course) how they turned wooing the women into a gotta catch 'em all mini-game.

[Sage]

It's Pokemon Snap! TRIPLE X!

[Tyr]

My favorite part was how despite everyone hated him, he always nailed the women and somehow created an awkward situation for everyone else around him while doing so.

"OH NO IT'S THE MONSTER IN THE MILL, HEAR IT MOAN!"

[Orion]

Me too. I mean, he has sex with a dryad. She's not even human.

[Vad]

Yahtzee can go bust his cherry in a wall socket.

The Witcher was a great game. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and characters. The lightning spell and flame spell were the most damaging and useful moves.


*makes a rude gesture*

[Kaden]

Yeah. dude. You should totally take Yahtzee seriously.

[Sage]

Absolutely. He doesn't kid around.

[Tyr]

Especially in that Duke Nukem review. He was the essence of serious.

[Cain]

Scratch the multi-console thing. That was unofficially canceled. The good news is the sequel is supposed to multi-console.
