I heard this game was awesome...must be terrible given the amount of TU and comments. This is the lowest price I've seen this game for by $5 I think. I was waiting for it to hit this point but I'm gonna pass, it can't be any good...

Mageshadow 02-19-2012 05:34 AM

doesnt look like it redeems on steam

artulo 02-19-2012 06:34 AM

Witcher 2 had pretty favorable worldwide reviews. Definitely worth the $15.

Thanks to the metacritic link...usually when newer, good games go on sale for this cheap there is a lot more slickdeals commentary. Which is what has me nervous about this game

Leppy 02-19-2012 07:56 AM

The reason for lack of commentary could be because of the Enhanced Edition that was announced a little while ago. From what I hear Witcher 2 is a GREAT game but just like the first, the developer is releasing an Enhanced Edition in a couple of months I believe. So if you dont have to have it now, maybe waiting for the EE is a better idea

Every human being who owns a copy of The Witcher 2 is getting a free upgrade to the enhanced edition according to the Good Old Gamer website.

"The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition will be available through automatic update for free, for all existing and new users (all new installations will update to the Enhanced Edition automatically during the game installation process." So the only thing you gain by waiting to buy when the update releases is the opportunity to pay 40% more for your game....

STICKYBUMPS 02-19-2012 08:28 AM

So excited for this coming to 360. It supposedly is going to be like running on medium settings on PC. Not sure how they squeeze that out of 6 year old hardware but I am all for it.

rschauby 02-19-2012 08:31 AM

Is the Amazon version of The Witcher 2 completely DRM free? I absolutely love how clean games are that come from GOG, not only DRM free but also free of bloat and other garbage. How is the Amazon version?

The Amazon version is the same version as the one from GOG, it comes directly from CDPROJEKTRED. Basically you get the game and a key, the key is used to give you all the bonus stuff:

All of the following Witcher 2 Premium Digital content can be found in the "Digital

Premium Edition Extras" folder within your Witcher 2 Amazon download directory.

MAKING OF DIGITAL DVD - All the cinematic materials related to game - trailers, dev diaries, gameplay footage, interviews and making-of exclusive video.

DIGITAL SOUNDTRACK AND DIGITAL PAPERCRAFTS - In-game music along with two papercraft dolls - Geralt and one random character for collectors.

DIGITAL WORLD MAP AND GUIDE - A map of the game's world and strategy guide for both novice and experienced role-playing fans.

DIGITAL GAME MANUAL AND PAMPHLET - A rulebook and interface explanation to help you get started. Including representation of one of the in-game items.

Once you get your bonus stuff the game is patched through to be DRM free.

Negative it is DRM free

grewnd33 02-19-2012 09:23 AM

Great deal on a game I really want to buy, but I am going to wait for it to come down on Steam.

faZZter 02-19-2012 09:42 AM

Amazon has had some good prices on digital download computer games, in for one!

SgtHulka 02-19-2012 10:46 AM

Game is great. Story, dialog and graphics are top notch. Not an open world RPG by any means but it does make you put thought into how you will level your character as this is not an easy game by today's standards.

Although the game is fine as is, the witcher nexus has plenty of easy to apply mods that help with inventory management and interface issues. Just buy!

Solarium 02-19-2012 11:07 AM

This game is WAY under rated. It surpasses most games out at the time of release. Even though it was overshadowed by Skyrim's release this year, this game is still one of the best CRPG's released ever. I would say the graphics is on par with BF3's graphics engine, on a RPG game.

crapoo16 02-19-2012 11:45 AM

my "Place your order" button is grayed out, and the price is showing $30 in cart..

Nevermind it works normally now.

B2BigAl 02-19-2012 01:01 PM

For $15, I had to pick this up. That's definitely the best price I've seen so far. Just in case anyone is wondering about Steam, it definitely will no activate through them, I tried. I though maybe since they sell it on Steam it would work, just so I could have it in my library, but no dice.

slgerb 02-19-2012 01:09 PM

Must we play the first game to understand what's going on in this one?

LakeErieWater 02-19-2012 01:36 PM

Fun game with gorgeous graphics. Even with 2x 5850's in crossfire @ 1080p I had to scale back settings to high. Will defintely test your GPU.

schnitter 02-19-2012 01:59 PM

Seems to be a great deal. Now I have a question about Amazon Digital Download games.

Say a deal like this comes for FIFA 12 which uses EA's ORIGIN. Do you get a serial that you add to Origin just like if you bought it from Origin?

Basically, my friend has FIFA 12 for PC in a CD. I want to use that CD to install the game and put in a serial bought from Amazon so I don't have to download the game.

Is there an issue doing this?

vorpel 02-19-2012 02:15 PM

Thanks OP! I just finished (initially) with Skyrim, so it will be great to jump in to this.

vytfla 02-19-2012 03:01 PM

Not enough cash :(... I'll buy it eventually solely based on the hype.

mirai 02-19-2012 03:07 PM

you get free upgrade to the enhanced edition i think!

jerryyyyy 02-19-2012 03:08 PM

Best game I've seen from 2011. Wayyyy shorter than Skyrim (20 hours versus 100+ hours), but more enjoyable IMO. Maybe it was the T&A.

fcmem 02-19-2012 04:53 PM

played it when it first came out.. not bad, I think the first game was better though..

I personally like to have a cd/dvd but, meh..

Did'nt know the enhanced version was coming out.. wonder if it will be enough to make a another play thru worth while.

fmriguy 02-19-2012 05:01 PM

I loved the original Witcher, even though the combat mechanics took a while to get the hang of. I'm definitely willing to shell out $15 for Witcher 2, particularly given the great reviews. Most probably already know of this, but these games do have some nudity, so might not be great for a younger child. For a teen or older gamer though, it just adds to the fun. Note to those in relationships: Be sure to explain to the wife/girlfriend ahead of time that this isn't some sort of wierd graphic porn game, just some mature content.

fcmem 02-19-2012 05:07 PM

The first one had sex cards, this one there is actual motion/cut scene to it.. but it's pretty brief.

in the 1st one you could screw just about anything that moved, in the 2nd one there is far fewer opportunity.

adrock311 02-19-2012 05:46 PM

I paid $45 for this game, its definitely worth $15.

No. You can start fresh or transfer your saved game from the first one, but even if you transferred there is a bit of a discontinuity between games which levels things out. Everything you need to know about the story the game shows.

Xainlrd 02-19-2012 07:18 PM

One of the funnest games i've played all year. I highly recommend it.

Xain.

samurai007 02-19-2012 11:40 PM

looks great ...

ratinq 02-20-2012 01:20 AM

The publishers of this game, CD Projekt, are actually big advocates against DRM. Ironically, they lose millions to piracy. Google to find out more. Worth supporting.

baddog992 02-20-2012 11:59 AM

This game got good reviews and the first one was fun and the developers support is great however the download for this game is huge. 16 gigs so be prepared to wait if you have slow download speed. Good deal.

showdown 02-20-2012 07:22 PM

I am attempting to install the game from my digital download but I keep getting a "CRC Error". It says one of the .dzip files doesn't match the file in the setup's .cab file. Anyone else getting this issue? All the issues on Google point toward optical drive issues, but this is a digital download....

Any help would be appreciated!

rippedbuff 02-20-2012 07:34 PM

If you like Skyrim, you'll love Witche 2 also! awesome great game!

Currently playing the multiplayer RPG of Mass Effect 3 --great game, like Borderlands almost, LOL but better

Dude, I'd rate witcher & witcher 2 much much higher than Skyrim. (Unpopular opinion yes) but skyrim involved a lot of rehashing old formulas(coming from someone who put 50 hrs into skyrim, so I'm not hating just for the sake of it)

Thank goodness, last game's DRM made my windows not boot. After a lot of frustration I found out it was causing my login screen to hang and I had to turn off password at login just to get into windows and uninstall. SOOOO weak.
