Witcher EE teaser...

im definitly going to buy it.LTZH

Do you already have the base game? Because it's going to be a free download, like a patch of sorts, for anyone who already has the game (if you didn't already know).

Even if you already own the regular The Witcher, I think it'd be worth it to buy the Enhanced Edition to show your support for the company. I really like what they're doing with their support for their game and the community.Einhanderkiller

Hell to the no.

The game was good, no doubt about it, but it shouldn't have been released with such crap loading times (and stability), bad animations, such little npc skins, and some translation problems. The added quests is just a marketing skit to get more people interested in the games and boost some sales.

As I said, I liked the game, but your comment was just ridiculous (to put it lightly).

all the enhanced stuff will be free for download for those who bought the vanilla game.

marketing is indeed involved (game developing is a buisness after all), but I think CD Projekt is doing the right thing, not charging for additional contents.

We're lucky were getting it for free, many other game companies might have charged for it

No, no self respecting company would ever charge for that sort of thing.

Good companies usually always release patches that fix bugs, the only reason they're releasing this EE version is to boost sales, and possibly keep the price up at 50-60 dollars.

in fairness most devs wouldnt bother redoing it to the extent that CD projekt are either. theyd look at what went wrong and fix em for the sequal. in the meantime theyd just throw a few bug fixes out for the witcher.

but these guys are actually going back and giving the game a severe overhaul. from bug fixes to graphical enhancements and new VO work. yes its just a patch but its one hell of a patch. the devs should be commended for such action. i wish more would put in that kind of effort.

in saying that, i do agree that rebuying the game to show support is a bit silly imho. i certainly wont be rebuying it. but the devs dedication to fixing it would certainyl encourage me to keep an eye on their future projects (which i certainly will seince the witcher, pre EE, is still ace imho). i might get the proposed upgrade pack if they release it (15 quid for a load of little extras and pointless crap + the patch on a CD. i miss the days of pointless crap in PC games boxes :D). but i certainly wont be rebuying the full game.

however i would whole heartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a good RPG on the PC.

Anyone know if the enhanced edition for North America will be uncensored?snow_kissed

perv! ;)

I was originally going to hold off playing this game until the EE came out. I bought The Witcher when it was released and I couldn't get it to play on my computers until the latest patch. Eventually I gave in though and I'm on the 3rd chapter now.

I think it's great they are releasing this and it's a company I'd support in the future.

There is a mod to replace the censored cards for uncensored and another mod that adds the grittier language that the US censors cut from the game...and there is one that re-adds in game nudity ( they might all be one big mod by now)

As for the EE US version don't count on it being uncensored....nothing has changed here....we are all still hypocrites don't you know.?!

I completely agree that what they're doing is great (going through so much work), it really shows their dedication to gamers.

However, (this isn't towards you) I still find rebuying the game silly, and I find it highly unlikely that certain companies would sell bug/animation/VA fixes.

Personally, I didn't really find much wrong with the game, aside from loading times, but they fixed those in a patch.

While thats True, its also a punch in the face at the sametime.

About HALF of the copies of The Witcher that sold accidently shipped without CD Keys, and the only way you can DL the Enhanced Edition is to have registered your copy with the CD Key.

I have to rebuy the whole game along with many others. However I would also like to add, I don't mind buying it again, The game is that good and CDProjekt needs the support so they can continue to create more Witcher Games.

So While im mad I never had a CD Key, I like CD Projekt so much Im willing to throw them a bone on an Atari Publishing Mistake.

The game was good, but you can't ignore the problems I mentioned. Even with the patch, the loading times were still bad, I had to twiddle with the console before every game if I didn't want the game to crash every hour or so, and I had some screen tearing during conversations.

And if there isn't anything wrong, what's the point of making/buying the EE?

Mochyc

aside from loading time, I have no problem running this game. AND, the loading time, I don't believe it can be fixed. That's the "problem" of Aurora Engine. the save file under this engine is abnormally big, the more save games in the save folder, the longer the loading time. Only keep 4-5 save games (the most current), the game will load pretty fast.

CD Projek improved the graphic quality and camera control of Aurora, but I think the save mechanism needs some radical coding change to fix.

as for why making the EE, I like your reasoning in earlier posts: to boost sale and keep the retail price high.

I'm sorry, there must be a misunderstanding. Look at the first quote, Eindhandkiller said that it would be worth a buy for people who already own it to support the company. It all started with me strongly disagreeing with his opinion.

To be honest, I liked the game and still own the game, I'm planning on finishing it when the patch is released. All the 'rebuying comments' were directed to Eindhandkiller.
