More Different Than Alike: Witcher 2. vs. Skyrim

If you loved Skyrim but didn't catch The Witcher 2, you should try it now--not because it's more of the same, but because it's a stimulating contrast. Here are five reasons why.

Nice,this is one of the other reasons why I wish I got a Xbox instead of a Ps3 but I do hope they put in on the Ps3 though and I DO hope that in the next Bethesda Elder Scrolls they take a little nudity learning from The Witcher 2 ;D

Is a PS3 release really too much to ask for? :(

@X-RS Hes posted it many times before (well lots of slightly different versions of it), and before that a bunch of other annoying comments...therefore not epic IMO

Thing that differentiates them is that Bethesda dosen't need to spend a year making a fully polished and rendered game trailer just to reel people in. Bethesda just needs to create an in-game trailer and you're hooked. Because of that they did also do a real-filmed trailer. That's the way to do it Bethesda!

"The Xbox version is going to look better than the minimum settings on the PC," senior producer Tomasz Gop told Eurogamer. "Don't hold my word for this, but the goal we have right now is to be close to the medium specs of the PC version." EDIT: and i do believe they were hyping it up, for marketing reasons. you understand.

The visuals, story-telling, characters, gameplay, and setting of Witcher 2 are paramount to Skyrim, so be sure to check this out on X360 in April!

The Witcher 2 is one of the better games I've ever played. CDproject is an amazing studio. Xbox gamers are in for a treat.

It's more akin to Mass Effect than to Elders Scrolls or even Dragon Age. It's a wonderful RPG with choices that actually change the world.

@sleepnsurf Am playing mass effect 3 on ps3 right now. Dunno what you are talking about? As for skyrim, don't want it. Its way too unfocused for my liking though some people enjoy it. Really love these witcher and demon soul kind of fantasy games. Ps3 is okey and not as bad in multiplatforms as some might think. Never came across an unplayable game. Though xbox is marginally better. But looses on exclusives so both are equal. Unless you love kinect.guess its getting more exclusives this year than halos and gears and all.

If you've never played Witcher 2... you are missing ooouuuttt. I loved Witcher 1 but part 2 was a huge upgrade.

An interesting game where game play should be challenging. Hope its not as hard as Dark Souls. Wondering why PC clips were used for the console version. Is it just a come on, hoping to sell more games to the young set.

@vaibhavp Mass Effect 3 and Skyrim can barely play on the PS3. Why would you even want this for it? I own ME3 on PS3 and it is atrocious. I Should have went 360 on it. Oh and Skyrim? Not even going there. I love my PS3 but there are things it just is not suited for, like anything non-exclusive.

@Stealth_Knight_ Zero originality? Have you ever tried playing this game?? Give me an example which a game doesn't allow you using potions mid fight? Having a different chapter 2 based on your decisions on act 1? (non linearity)? Pixel boobs and a story based on a Polish book??

6. Development on The Witcher 2 was actually completed BEFORE it was released. 7. The Witcher 2 isn't a buggy train-wreck requiring 8 patches before becoming somewhat playable.

Seriously, Skyrim is out of Witcher's league! This game benefits from the background history of several best-selling books. Not to mention the level of graphic details in PC, made consoles look rediculous. I feel sorry for those poor people who'll have to play this on Xbox.

Another one of these? Are you afraid people won't buy it because they already have a fantasy game?

@Slash_out This game here in Poland is a bit cheaper :D Enchanced edition for around 30 bucks. And Dark Edition costs like a normal edition game from US.
