I already own AC GOTY and Witcher 2. If you haven't played AC yet....Well, you suck, and you need to buy it NOW!

Witcher 2 still sits in the plastic on my shelf >.< I hear great things about it.
 
[quote name='chunlirocks']if you dont own W2...slap urself n go buy it NOW!!!!

best rpg in a long, long time[/QUOTE]

I bought it the day it came out. But I had just finished Skyrim maybe 2-3 days before (and by "finished" I mean finish the main story line and sunk 65 hours into it). So I wasn't ready for another life consuming game like Skyrim....Aaaand W2 still sits on my shelf.
 
I have been thinking about picking up The Witcher 2 lately and this seems like the perfect opportunity. Thanks!
 
Might sound kinda funny, but now I am trying to decide between Batman AC GOTY or Darksiders 2. I played Batman AA from start to finish and loved it and have been wanting AC since it came out! I don't know much about Darksiders other than the demo I played. Hmmmmmmm

Does it matter? The game itself for PC is $9.99 plus DLC is roughly the same price as GOTY, it's really just the convenience of having it all in one package that your missing out on.

Heh heh, I got Batman: AC for xmas last year, planned on playing it after I finished Skyward Sword, which I also got for xmas, but then I got caught up with some other games, never got around to playing it before the GotY was released, which I will eventually get since it's been on sale for $30 from 3-4 different retailers now, which is less expensive than purchasing all the dlc. But I figure it will go lower than that soon, so I'll just wait. It just pisses me off what a ripoff it is to get the original release of a game when you know it's going to get a GotY; only reason I asked for it for xmas is cuz I planned on playing it soon afterwards. If anything, the dlc should drastically drop in price to where it's no more than $15 combined...but I guess that wouldn't be conducive to maximizing profits, i.e. fucking over the consumers. :bomb:
 
Still too rich for my blood on the AC GOTY. Hoping it will hit $15 in a few months for the holidays.

A word of caution: The AC GOTY game will NOT be able to use the vanilla AC's game saves.

Yes it will. For 360 at least, not sure about PS3. I played/beat the vanilla AC, and with the GOTY it uses my vanilla saves.

I'm right there with ya. I HATE that shit too. But, it's really a question of "Is it worth getting now, and buying all the DLC. Or is it worth waiting a year or so for the GOTY"

But like I did with AC. I sold my vanilla to Best Buy the week before it came out for $22, that I only payed $10 for it with one of the coupons, and price matched the GOTY down the line to $30. So it really payed for itself.

Not true for 360. I have used my vanilla save with the GotY edition.
 
Batman AC was one of the best games released within the past 12 months...

Darksiders 2 isnt even the best game released this week...

just IMO, but c'mon son

Will definitely get Witcher 2, but I know I wouldn't play it until a few months from now even if I did have it, so I'll just wait. It'll probably be $20 or less by the time I'm ready to get it and actually play it.

That;s essentially my situation as well. I have a pretty decent backlog right now as it is, and most of it is RPG's. Still have to finish Skyrim, RDR GOTY, Borderlands GOTY, and I was aiming to start new playthroughs of New Vegas and KOTOR soon too before the fall releases really ramp up.

Arkham City though...while I dont have the DLC even the base game is worth $30, one of the best in 2011 that I played.
 
Silly question. I haven't bought retail discs for a PC in years, only digital.

Does Batman AC require you to have the retail game in the drive every time you play? I'm hoping we're past that point now.

I'm the same way with most if not all of my games because most of them will receive a GOTY version at some point. I tend to wait for that or a sell on PC games. If I wait long enough all of the games I want to purchase will be $10 or less. That brings up Sleeping Dogs that came out yesterday. I watched a video where they announced a DLC pack coming out later this year. Now the questions of most CAG's, should I wait for the GOTY version to drop or should I just get it on PC when it's cheap enough?...
 
My complaints for these games:

Batman:AC- the story feels like it cheapens a lot of the Batman universe, feels almost like a re-hash of the "little bit of everything" that Batman: Hush does, not to mention the whole game has a weird misogynistic vibe to it

Witcher 2- I CAN'T get into these games and have tried three times, it just doesn't feel intimate or necessary, a lot of people think adding the "superb" writing and "polished" conversation mechanisms adds a lot to RPGs, but give me the minimalistic design of Demon's Souls/Dark Souls any day. Oh, and the combat feels incredibly like the titular character is a cardboard cutout, the way your character moves has no correlation to the way enemies move, hardly feels like a well thought out combat system

That being said, buy if you so wish

[/QUOTE]

Misogynistic? In what way? I will concede that the Batman interrogating Harley Quinn while she's tied up is a bit over-the-top, but on the whole I don't see a misogynistic attitude here. The game features Talia al Ghul, Oracle, and Selina Kyle, all very powerful and very intelligent females.

I will agree that there are probably more villains the story than there really need to be.

The Witcher games are based on books so if you're looking for games that are NOT story-driven you're barking up the wrong tree. Most reviewers like that the devs have managed to capture Sapkowski's characters and world and translate them so well to this medium. As regards the combat, well, I'm not really sure I understand what your comments mean. Geralt has a standard "roll" move in combat that works pretty well, although I personally found that he had a tough time when surrounded by more than 2-3 enemies.
 
Arkham City GOTY is back in stock! Woot! Just placed my order.

Looks like MK Komplete is still out of stock, but they dropped the price another $5 down to $19.99+free shipping if it ever comes back in stock.

I liked it better when you called it 10 out of 10.
