My Opinion of The Witcher 2

This is a really great game if it was newly released in the early 2000s. However, from the lack of abilities, skill tree, options for 'doing stuff' to the redundant sword swinging the same way as a 90s hack 'n slash, I felt this game is very much behind the curve of new millenium gaming.



Though it does provide somewhat of a decent visual experience, I couldn't help to feel that there is something very lacking in the game. There are some quests, there is a main story but character growth (or a lack thereof) makes me feel that this game falls short of what is expected.



Though it does have a few 'mature' scenes in it and has language consistent that would be used as adults would use in certain situations, I don't think many in my age group would find this game very appealing after spending a few days playing. It most likely will make most feel as if they were ripped off.





I think I'd rather play my modded version of The Last Remnant or The Last Oddesy.

White Knight Chronicles 2

White Knight Chronicles 2 is another highly anticipated RPG that I'm looking forward to. I don't care about the giant Robo-armor things that they transform into but, like most people, will be playing this game for it's fantasy, medival elements. The story, lore, adventure and customizable character growth as well as unique, awesome playing environment is what is going to catch most eyes in the wonderful world of RPG gaming.

Of course, in the attempt to now include female gamers and the LGBT crowds into the 'modern gaming realm' we will see over emotional male scenes as we did in the main plot line as we did in the first which makes most men (at least the ones I've talked with in as well as outside of Japan) hit the skip cutscene button during those overly emotional wastes of time. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a little emotion every now and then but most of the people I've talked with about the emotional male scenes in games, movies and even TV shows lately are just a little much. It's okay, a small price to pay for some good fantasy RPG goodness!



The gameplay is supposed to be a lot better but it looks more or less the same to me. Either way, I'll play it just for the story and lore involved. It's not the best but a lot better than most RPGs in current days.



Until then I guess I'll be absorbed in Tactics Ogre!!

Fraps video- Dragon Age 2 Demo 1st half of the demo

Enjoy!

Just download and finished the Dragon Age 2 Demo....

Well, I took the liberty of downloading the Dragon Age 2 demo from the bioware website for my Windows 7 PC and had trouble launching the game. I got an error related to DirectX and had to go to microsoft's website to re-download it (even though everything seemed up to date, I read this on one of the bioware social forums that stated this was a fix and it did indeed fix the problem). The error was something like d3dx11_42_x64 but the re-download fixed that.

Also my PC froze on the 'Start Menu' screen. At first I thought it had something to do with DA2 servers because at the bottom of the screen it was stating it was connecting to the servers and the DA2 demo was not responding. However, I went to the bioware Dragon Age forums and found that I needed to remove any flash drives and other removable storage because it is a known issue with the demo.

After that, I started playing with no problems. The graphics is nice, the combat is fun and storyline is pretty decent. I think I'll be at Gamestop tomorrow night to pick it up (I reserved it) during the 'midnight release.' This game looks worth it from judging the demo I played.
