Dragons Dogma or Witcher 2

[samurai89]

Im debating which game to buy, what's your input guys?

 

[Shneckie]

Haven't played Dragons Dogma, but nonetheless just buy Witcher 2 anyway. I can 110% guarantee you will not be disappointed.

I don't really know what Dragon's Dogma is but I love the Witcher 2. Have you played the Witcher 1?

No I havent played Witcher 1, this would be my first introduction into the series.

I wouldn't say it's particularly necessary for the gameplay since the two games are very different in that regard. However, I think it'd be pretty hard to get acquainted with the world if you dive straight into W2 since things aren't explained as much in detail as they were in W1, like the sociopolitical climate (which plays a huge role).

I'm sure there are other members on TWC that have played W2 without playing W1. You should ask to see how they found it.

Witcher 2. An absolute classic.

Don't play Witcher 1. The plot was great, the environment felt awesome, but the game was just timed clicking for combat (literally, you just keep mashing the attack button as Geralt performs only one attack) and a ridiculous chase for the sex card things. It wasn't too bad at the time, but compared to The Witcher 2, it was terrible.

I would recommend Dragon's Dogma for you also mainly since you haven't played the first Witcher.

Funny how it's a classic but only recently came out

What do you look for most out of an RPG? Expansiveness, freedom, open world sandbox gameplay? Or a rich story with fantastic characters and voice acting as well as meaningful choices?

Sex cards are the best . Comparing to that time it was extremely awesome .

Witcher 2 best RPG for years!

Put aside the Bioware steroids and other crap...

Witcher 1 had a craptastic last act of the plot though.

Cheesiness all'round

 

[SinerAthin]

Aye, go with the Witcher 2.

Altough just a shame they released Dragon's Dogma only for console.
It seems like such a waste of potential for the game, I'd have loved to have it on PC.

Witcher 2!!!!!

Well obviously it's my opinion, but I think it will be unrivaled for years and years to come, and remembered for decades.

The Witcher 2 suffered from this as well, though they expanded on it with the Enhanced Edition update. Honestly though, I've yet to find a game that has such a...for lack of better term, austere, atmosphere.

Honestly? All of that

But im leaning more towards Dragon's Dogma's massive sandbox world and very interesting combat, though ive heard the story is dull and boring and the Pawn AI is irritating.

W2's ending felt a bit rushed and short, but W1's last act was just silly with

Spoiler

the badly implemented timetravel plot
