more blood, violence, boobies and sex!!
and most likely will get banned in the land down under again

No official announcement yet but according to Gameinformer, expect something at E3 this June. Whether it could be console versions is unconfirmed yet but definitely not Witcher 3 according to the devs so the chances are high, Gameinformer said.

yup, the chances are good, it's either ESRB made a mistake or it's really going to happen
looking forward to this as DA alternative

after playing the PC version, I can say that this game is meant for consoles since the controls are more tailored to controller.

game is Demon Souls hard though, might put off a lot of people.

put off?? nah~
ppl like us will be very motivated just to see the titties and the sex scenes

i will admit.
playing this concurrently with LA Noire, I can confirm that Witcher 2 assaults you with images of naked ladies faster.

hey grey are you gonna spend 1k for 3DS+DOA 3DS to look at 3D barely legal girls? I'm... kinda tempted.

LOL no I aint spending 1k to look at child porn in 3D

I doubt it will be banned,well it is FOR A WHILE
like GTAIV banned like for a month then u can find original games everywhere in stores..i dunno what are they up to

not ban eh
is they cover up the naughty bits of the game

ie censor the hairy parts.

which one could say, is the reason you go buy the PAL version cause EU is cool with hair. US not so much.

Aus also using PAL, so need to make sure you got the EU PAL not the kangaroo PAL

AUS PAL no MK eh
whats the chance of them getting Witcher2. which is mostly gore and naked tits. according to ESRB:

http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=31097

This is a role-playing game in which players assume the role of Geralt, a monster slayer who must hunt down an assassin to clear his own name. As players complete quests, they use swords and magic spells to kill enemy soldiers and fantastical creatures (e.g., specters, harpies, spider-like monsters) in melee-style combat; attacks are often accompanied by slashing sounds and screams of pain. Blood-splatter effects occur when enemies are hit, and damage sometimes results in dismemberment or decapitation—blood stains and body parts occasionally appear in the environment. Other cutscenes depict gore and more intense acts of violence: a close-up view of a severed head; a restrained woman's eyes getting gouged out (off-screen); a character being castrated (not depicted) before his throat is slit. During the course of the game, some female characters are depicted topless; there is also a fleeting image of pubic hair as a woman dives into the water Players can initiate brief cutscene sequences that depict varying degrees of sexual activity: a topless woman rocking on top of man; a man caressing a woman's back; a man pushing up against a woman's posterior—sexual moaning sounds can be heard , though the camera cuts away from explicit sexual acts. Some sequences depict a cocaine-like substance being cut into lines; another scene shows a man's back as he snorts the substance. Language such as 'f**k,' 'sh*t,' and 'c*nt' can be heard in the dialogue.

The Witcher 2 is coming. Announcement trailer available now!

I want this on the xbox360 please!!! Love the Witcher 1 and its open ended decisions and consequences gameplay

Yes, those of you who didnt got Witcher 2 on the PC yet now have a choice to play it on the 360!

By Crom, my prayers has been answered!!! Woohoo~

Anyone gotten the game yet?

looking for the CE/LE version, seems like no one is selling that version

also, the NTSC/J version says is Chinese Edition, i wonder if the text & commands are all in chinese, or in Eng

that's the main factors I haven't bought it yet

I got mine from SG and it has full English.

Just picked up my copy from Gamer's hideout, it's the PAL version but region free. Came with a free guidebook and map. So yeah it's in English.

A player review from the official review for the game

Player Review

Started the game on Dark Mode because I know that there are three sets of armor and weapons exclusive to Dark Mode, big mistake. Struggled my butt trying to get through prologue. In the end, I stopped playing the story and went on to play arena mode to hone my skills. Finally I'm able to enjoy Dark Mode now.

So I recommend to play on easy or normal for your first playthrough and then play the harder ones on your second playthrough.

Got the game thanks to recommendation from KidIcarus. It's tough to get used to even on normal - too chicken to play dark 1st playthrough Does anyone find the navigation and map system impossible?! Trying to find those blue dots which are relevant to quests are painstaking like dwarf bookseller for example. Even with install to console still see tons of loading screens. Great game otherwise.

This game doesn't show or tell you everything so it takes a lot of exploring. Been a long time since I've played a hardcore RPG like this. By the way, the load screens aren't that bad, there are many but they are quite quick.

Are you guys playing on dark? What's the best build to survive - magic?

Finished playthrough today, act 3 was really short. One tip for the 10k orens achievement (miser) either grind it in act2 or hoard lots of items in chest at inn as you can sell it later in act3. There's just no way to make money in act3 once you're there besides those few quests which don't pay much.

That was fast, but not surprising seeing how you've been playing this non stop. I am a bit surprised that you're selling it off already and also curious as to whether I was right in saying that this is your type of game or totally off the mark.

It was a good recommendation, thanks. Story was great but the annoyances made me not enjoy the story. It's quite clunky - a to climb/jump, potions & oils, inventory sorting etc. Difficulty curve was backwards (hard beginning, easy by midpoint). Not much replay value either so am done with it. My husband lost interest straight from tutorial, understand his frustrations with the game. It's not esy to pick up and go, will turn off most casual gamers.

i have not bought this game yet not sure if its similar to "The Witcher 1", but i think it is what happen to me like your husband =P

If i didn't like Witcher 2 will i like Dark Souls? That's a must play game right

darksouls is very different, its abit like old AD&D style western medival RPG with an autosave feature, if you have done somethings wrong it will punish you with death or missout some stuffs, its also abit like Virtual MMORPG, every one plays the game sametime but you dont see them, you could interact with words & yr shadow/ghost sometimes.

its hardcore =P, be prepare to die "alot"

"A lot" is an understatement for Dark Souls
it's more like "Always", "repeatedly", "again, and again, and again, and again...."
lost count of how many times i threw down my controller in anger during my first play thru
definitely not for those impatient gamers

Now I'm in NG+ of Dark Souls with SL130
fed up, and frustrated and give up the game when i got killed repeatedly by the ghosts in New Londo Ruins

Haha i stop playing NG+, unless im gonna hunt for the Miracle achievements or else i dont see the need of it. its very time consuming =P

Anybody selling a second hand copy PM me

hi anyone else here with xbox360 NTSC/J set?

Is the FREE Witcher US edition region lock from us? TQ

yes, the NTSC/UC version it's region locked, can't be download on NTSC/J or PAL set

but you'll be able to play it on Xbox One tho...

You can download it. You just need setup VPN to your 360.
I did it last time for Gears 2 DLC & AC3(Free game thanks to MS China )
Now manyak susah & hassle of setting things up.
better purchase it using browser then can straight download it on your Xbox One.

It is free for all region except Japan, go to Xbox.com > Scroll to bottom change to Singapore > search for Witcher 2 (6gb+) then you should be able to Buy/Get it free. Not sure why but the Witcher 2 on US Xbox page is 7gb+

And you need to change your Xbox One region also. or not it wouldn't show up in My Games and Apps list.
Thought new console no more region lock.

well its consider no region lock in this way, kinda like PS they need to have multiple PSN to access different region game, for Xbox atleast the gamertag doesnt need to change only the console region change is good enough compare to that.

i d/load the US version 7gb+ but it was region locked on my NTSC/J 360.
TQ for the tip, now i try the SGP version (6gb+), hopefully it works and is in ENG.

UPDATE: the SGP game is in ENG with optional CHI text support
