In Topic: Zero Punctuation - The Witcher

I'd heard that the load times for The Witcher were absolutely atrocious (Thanks, Neverwinter Nights 2 engine). I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the review. Was that patched up to the point where it wasn't so bad?
Actually I thought it was based on the first NWN engine. Well that CERTAINLY explains the load times. I remember running races with the other people in my Lan group to see who could load quicker. Usually it was my father being that he had the cash to burn on getting the parts for a good system. Yes - I play RPGs with my father, in fact, he was the reason why I even played the witcher, I was happy just going along going through the HUGE amount of games I need to catch up due to my final Uni year last year.
EDIT: No actually it is the first NWN engine, Aurora. NWN2's Engine is called "The Electron Engine".QUOTE (AdamM @ Jan 25 2008, 10:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>What the hell is this? "writes the back page column for PC Gamer"? Why is he writing for the yanks and not us?
Well he used to write articles for Hyper (In fact, I found his stuff the best, I remember the first time reading on of his articles thinking "Hey, This guys writes similar to Yahtzee, I wonder who - ahhh! Love for Yatzee grows....") But it seems some short time after I stopped subscribing 2 and a half years ago, the magazine went stupid. The editor left and the issues after became a shambling corpse unsure what it was doing. I looked at a copy the other day and it looked NOTHING like the magazine it had been 2 years previous the only thing that remained similar was the cover.
Maybe with the stupid they decided they didn't need the ultra-witty Yahtzee. -

This is the first review of Yahtzee's that I've disagreed with almost utterly. Almost. I'll concur with him about the obnoxious sex component, but it's not as big a part of the game as he implies here.
I can't blame him for the negative review, really, because the game doesn't pick up until the end of the second chapter and if I'd only played through part of the first I'd probably think the same. My first impressions weren't much different. To be honest I was hoping he wouldn't end up reviewing this because I was certain he'd just play the early portion of the game which really isn't representative of its strengths at all. I guess my fears were justified.
Everything after the second chapter, though? Best damn game I've played in years. There, I said it. Fuck all of you philistines.
I just entered chapter V today. The Fire is awesome - The fact that I went Neutral and everyone with a weapon and half a brain attacking me - Mmm Not so. But I'll deal. Anyway, I've loved all of the reveiws he's done and agreed with most, but like you Plainclothesman, this is where our opinoins split.
So far I've loved the witcher, Enjoyed the story. The load screens and occasional crashes do suck - I find sometimes in a scene where they're alot of people it freaks out and closes but loading up for the first time doesn't take that long, I've seen much worse. *cough*NWN2*cough*
But this is the most bearable RPG I've played for along time. And even being a lady myself, I find the humour of the sex cards, and well, Maybe I did start actively going after them - I was kinda wondering when the girls would stop grabbing for me, But it seems I haven't reached it yet. (But my user, Shani and Triss are terrible, I don't want to be with any of them, Why couldn't I have been with someone not stupid like Abigail?)
Anyway, Witcher is all about your preferance, You'll either like it, or you won't.
