Geforce 8800 and Radeon 4850 are about equal cards in terms of performance yet 8800 is listed as "minimum" and 4850 as "recommended". Anyone else is bothered by this? Shouldn't 4870 be listed in the same category as GTX 260? Or does the game run that much better with Radeon cards?

 

[Zed]

Geralt must be the most boring character ever made. It's like Drizzt or some shit but ridiculously grimdarkened.

okay explain why they are the same thing?

 

[MapMan]

anyone know what drm they're using on the boxed version.

One time activation (using internet connection) after installation. Tomasz Gop said they won't leave it like that and it will prolly end up like previous witcher (patch that removes drm).

Both have white hair. Duh.

The 4850 thing is probably a typo. I'm sure the game takes advantage of newer cards with all bells n whistles on.

trying too hard

 

[Forest Dweller]

Yay, dark and gritty.

 

[Darth Roxor]

He looks like Harrison Ford with extreme constipation

 

[Xor]

TW2 vs DA2: which is grimdarker and why?

 

[Lesifoere]

Yay, dark and gritty.

No, no, it's not half as dark or half as gritty as this:

His last bullet severed one of her ponderous breasts

He entered a room and saw a large man who had to be X plowing a woman of equal size on the bed beneath him.

Sum reel dark 'n gritty shit der bro.

 

[Volourn]

Geraldn makes TNO look like a handsome fellow. That's scary shit! And, this guy gets the girls? He must ahve the same voodoo TNO has.

R00fles!

 

[Jaesun]

I like the look of the new Geralt. <3

And those screenshots (if they really are in game screenshots) look fucking awesome.

 

[Licaon_Kter]

a sort of hack job of a classification:
DX11 class cards: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_ ... erfrel.gif

DX10 class cards: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/Palit/GeForce ... erfrel.gif

DX9 class cards: http://tpucdn.com/reviews/Sapphire/HD_3 ... erfrel.gif

and as you can see some info in the newsletter seems wrong, there is no GTX260 with 1GB video RAM and a HD4850 it's not its equal

 

[commie]

Hmm, it will run barely...probably on 1024 x 768 it will be fine without AA assuming it has the option of AA in the first place.

 

[Forest Dweller]

Yay, dark and gritty.

No, no, it's not half as dark or half as gritty as this:

Sum reel dark 'n gritty shit der bro.

CD Project fangirl detected.

 

[Lesifoere]

Someone cannot into irony.

 

[Mrowak]

Sweet Mother of Mercy on Rollerblades. :shock:

Can my comp really run it? It seems so, but it doesn't LOOK like that.

I never said they were exactly the same thing, but there's definitely likeness in the type of characters they are.
they are both stand-out, like, throughout the entire game's universe, in appearance (drizzt being a nigger with white hair, geralt being a pale dude with white hair) and profession (drizzt super ranger, geralt super monster hunter). they both have their posse of dwarves and shit and they are both kind of anti-heroes (well not really drizzt maybe).

but that's not the ridiculous part, the ridiculous part is that he's so damn over-grimdark.

 

[.Sigurd]

Is this an ingame image or an artwork?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

One time activation (using internet connection) after installation. Tomasz Gop said they won't leave it like that and it will prolly end up like previous witcher (patch that removes drm).

Wonder why they even bother with that, since the GoG version will apparently be DRM free. I guess to theoretically slow day 0 piracy, then throw the gates open on day 1?

Or they are filthy Jews Pollacks and will pretend that online activation is no DRM. :twisted:

Blame Namco Bandai. The latest rumor is, that the retail version uses Steamworks.
