    I bought it on Steam! (the standard retail vertion for 50-60 buks its called premiun edition and its like any other colectors edition with art books, sound track, and a lot more stuff!)

    It looks awesome, i loved the first one, and i think the second will set a new standard for RPGs.
    so what do you think about thig game?

    Never played the first one, so I'm not really sure what to think about it!

    Have fun though.

    Sogetsu, if you like single player RPG, and you have some free time you should try it out!
    It’s good dark fantasy RPG, its not every one cup of tee, but the story is interesting (at least for me) and most of your choices have some kind of consequence.

    And of course you can import your saves form W1 to the W2! That’s cool.

    Seems to be the trend these days.

    I'll look into it, didn't know it was a RPG-type.

    Well Its not much of a trend considering i know about 2 companies that are doing it one its Bioware and These guys. Cd Projekt RED.

    And its like a Sister company from Bioware, the Witcher was made with the Aurora Engine, Created by Bioware for the Neverwinter nights games.
    They where the ones that published games like Baldurs Gate saga, KoToR, etc in Poland

    You can tell they are RPGers.
    And their first game ever you can tell they put a lot of love in their game, its not perfect, its not for every one.

    But its one of my favorite RPGs on the last Years.

    yeah, after Prebuying it i saw a video about the editions in their main page,
    and i though "man, im so going to buy the retailers vertion"
    But then i remembered where i live and i thanked Steam for existing and giving me the 10% discount.

    Still im goign to try to finish one or two more playtroughts of the first one before the lunch!

    BTW desition that transends a game its the most awesome way to encourage the players to buy their old games!

    I've been waiting for this game also. Despite its flaws I enjoyed the first one a good deal. I'll probably get it through Steam too, dunno when though.

    I played the demo for the first one and really liked it, never did buy it though. Perhaps if they release the first one for less than 10 bucks on steam, ill prob pick it up.

    This game kind of reminds of the the Thief Series. That was nicely put together for its time.

    I dont think there is jet a demo of the Witcher 2, if there is one up let me know.

    the fist one its a cool game, grate RPG but nothing groundbraking in terms of Gameplay.

    I saw it up on Steam about a month ago, seemed odd they were selling something 6 months+ before launch.

    Maybe its magic steam power that is causing this.

    6 moths its the stanrd preorder time, this days i think.

    unless publishers like EA want to have a the better chunk of the Presells of a game.

    Like they do with games like DA:O and ME:2! and DA2!

    I want my DA2 Copy on Steam!

    Time to resurrect this discussion, the game is coming out in 2 days and it is going to be AWESOME. Also if there are still weird people that have yet to play Witcher 1, it's 4.99$ on GOG.com, no reason NOT to buy this awesome game now. Here's a link to the last 4 trailers they released on Friday.

    Of course some of them might contain slight spoilers and such, just like any trailers. ;)
