You mean boring people? ;P

The save system of TW2 isn't so bad but I really think that TW3 will improve it. Maybe add something like Skyrim or New Vegas.

Why? It sounded really good :)

No pressure ;-)

Although one might consider "The Last Wish" a light read. Until one reads the other books (that aren't) and then returns to find that the depth has been there all along... And stay away from Haruki Murakami... :-)

It's strange, but I manage to read quite a lot of books compared to the little time I have. But I read most of them "on the throne" and sometimes my 45-60 minutes commuting helps (depending on if I can acquire a seat).

I have to say Witcher 2 seems to be really a nice game. But sadly it also very clearly gives of the feeling that it was a game designed for consoles. This becomes so obvious in how the control is handled, it annoys me a bit. Perhaps the weird save system is also a relict from being a console port. I don't know.
And I also miss a bit the freedom of just jumping down a cliff. I can only climb up and down in some very specific places, where it shows me that I should click to climb.

When you mentioned the save system my first thought was "What was the matter with it, you could save anywhere" - but then you reminded me.

You're totally right on this. Aside from a screenshot, there's just zillions of save states with no context other than time. I'm someone who likes to save a lot in RPGs and later "clean up" while also saving important saves that I name ("Gerald Must Pick King I or King II" "Choose a New Power" as made up examples). The Witcher 2 save system made this near impossible - I shudder when I think of what the "Load Game" screen looks like for my Witcher 2 playthrough LOL.

Or people with a social life and who spend time outdoors instead of sat in front of the tv. :-)

I must admit that I have only really seen them years ago when I was younger and my dad used to watch the show.

Hmm..The Witcher books are great.

I gave up twice on 1Q84...i actually don't no why...

I think I prefer DDs description :D

Yeah, that's what I said :P

You're welcome. Don't call me an expert but i really liked it :).

What about live music?

Damn, I knew I should not have mentioned the Witcher books. :-)

I normally read a lot more, but as I have been working a lot more this year, I have been spending most of my free time with my partner, as I am a big softie and I have been missing our time together so much recently. I am sure once things calm down I will be back to reading lots and lots of good books.

Designed for consoles? I thought Project Red was mainly a PC game developer, I thought they designed for the PC in mind and then the console, rather than make the PC version suffer just for the console version? Did the first Witcher game have these problems as well?

I just based it on some of the people I know who are big fans of Monty Python. :-)

Do you re-watch the show often, or was it just a show you saw many years ago but that stayed with you?

My head hurts...just spent ten minutes trying to explain to a roommate how a dual-stick movement/camera setup works.

I now know why Activision simplifies the mechanics of Call of Duty so much. Every action is explained, the tutorial is in full effect, and the roommate still can't do it.

I don't know how extreme it was with Witcher 1, I read that the enhanced version patch made it better for pc, and I never played it before the patch. But with the second one the control system is clearly meant for consoles. And the sad truth is that if happens often with big games. PC users have to deal with the stuff introduced for console versions.


Uh ok? I have no idea :P


But I need to get some sleep now *good night hugs and waves*
