wtf man...i buy a nice sword crafting formula. I goto the forge and have him make the sword....it get made but is nowhere to be found. not in my inventory or his, its not equipped or laying on the ground. reloaded and tried 3 times and its not there.

:smh: i have never played a game that had the amount of issues this game has....what did those 4 patches fix anyways

Isn't the game made by Eastern Europeans? Enough said.

 

[Maynard]

idk man...im about done with this game. its nearly unplayable for me. there are so many little things wrong that add up to one major pain in the ass

its a shame too because it looks so good and has good quest variety. throw in a good story and clever humor and its a great game. but none of that is enough to keep me from wanting puke in disgust from all the glitches.

i played for 2 hours tonight. i completed 1 short side quest and advanced 25 mins in game time. the rest was spent dealing with reloads, retarded menus, poor hud map, a completely stuipd and worthless game map and all of its idiotic glitches.

Shame, I loved this game, never got far into it since I would keep going back to tf2 or another game.

 

[jms493]

that is a shame Maynard because i didnt come across many bugs at all. Then menus are a bit wonky but I did not spend a whole lot of time in them TBH. I just kept killing shit.

 

[Maynard]

like i said, all these issues are small...like the menus. But every time i try and play i am spending all my time dicking around with hassles.

have u ever had an issue with crafting an item and it not being in your inventory?
i used the guy in flotsam...he is the same guy who crafted my sword for the quest when u arrive in that town....that one worked fine. So i bought the jagged sword formula and he crafted it after i got all the supplies....but it wont show up

if I had then I did but i just remember picking up swords or maybe buying 1 or 2. Inventory and weapons never seems to be a problem. I maybe I had 4-5 swords the whole game if I remember correctly.

I won't create a new thread, so here's some 360 footage:

Please please PLEASE let this game be good. The Witcher is one of my favorite RPGs ever, and because I don't want to build a new PC, I had to pass on The Witcher 2. I just hope this isn't fucking broken as hell like Risen was (even though I loved that game on 360).

 

[Maynard]

hopefully they didnt bring the bugs when they ported it over

You are literally the only person I interact with that has had bugs with that game (or at least, game breaking bugs). But still, I agree with the sentiment.

 

[SethMode]

So, about 6 hours in and this game is :fap:tastic.

 

[SethMode]

God I love European RPGs. Makes me miss old school Western RPGs. I just died because of a conversation choice and it was AWESOME.

 

[Twigg4075]

Wouldn't that just mean you would have to reload your last checkpoint and pick a different dialogue option?

Pardon my ignorance.

Pardon my ignorance.

At its crux, yes that is what it is, but it goes a little deeper than that at the same time. Certain choices have long standing consequences, so you might survive a conversation check that then causes a later conversation check to be more difficult depending on the characters opinion of you.

Everything about "dying" in video games is a reload (didn't you yourself say you hated the idea of the hardcore mode in Bioshock Infinite? -- it's all a reload because in most cases no reload would be no fun)...I just like that there are some developers out there willing to make actual consequences for your your actions. I have 10 dudes wanting to kill me and I say the wrong thing? They kill me. It isn't a case of there is no wrong answer and I murder everyone in my path as always. They haven't perfected the idea by any means, but they're trying which is more than I can say for just about 99% of other games being made.

 

[Maynard]

shit i used to always reload after a choice in games so i could how the other choice may play out. games like ME have choice that give an imediate result...which is usually pointless either way. But to this games credit, the choices dont take effect until much later so your kind of forced to live with your decision.

glad your enjoying it so far seth

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

The only thing I am not really feeling about this (other than not having a good grasp on the big picture which is my own fault for not playing the first) is how tedious some of the sidequests are so far. I don't mind a lack of handholding at all but when a quest requires repetitive searching without any direction it gets a little annoying.

Everything else is great though.

For those that missed it in the Good Deals thread...

Also, for those that don't know, you can get $30 off of The Witcher 2: Enhanced Edition for Xbox through their Reward Zone site by printing a coupon or more conveniently by using their smartphone app. With the Reward Zone app all you have to do is "claim" the offer and it automatically links the discount to your RZ card. The cashier scans your card, and then the game and it will only be $10 since it retails for $40. I got my copy an hour ago.
