Last RPG I played and enjoyed was The Witcher,

...

And Troika deserved to die?
Now, I liked The Witcher quite a lot, but The Witcher > Troika's games?

...

Yes, that IS poor taste. Very poor taste. I'd kill myself if I was you.

Yes. I believe The Witcher was more entertaining than Arcanum, ToEE and Vampire combined. Go fuck yourself.

CD Projekt had a few problems, like the long loading times but they fixed it. They didn't release one patch and then forget about the game. Troika Games were so fucking lazy that a talented fan had to patch it for them. See ToEE and Vampire for more examples where fans did a better job of fixing the games. Troika Games were shit at patching their games, and I defy you to make excuses on their behalf. Go on you stupid fuck, defend Troika Games. This should be good for a laugh.

Design is far far more important than bugs. I don't know but I find more entertaining a good, but bugged game than a mediocre but bug-free one...oops, wait, The Witcher was also bugged as hell at release.

Go on you stupid fuck, defend Troika Games.

Don't tell me you have a history of litigating too?

Troika Games obviously did a great job at designing the combat in Arcanum. Where they fucking drunk when they designed the combat? I played The Witcher and apart from the long loading times had no problems. CD Projekt fixed this with patches, what did Troika Games do? They made one fucking patch. One fucking patch and then ignored the game. Just like Obsidian Entertainment and KOTOR II. Troika Games were motherfucking lazy and you fucking know it.

Team Gizka? Heh. Another group of fans doing the developers job. Someone needs to whip them after their recent announcement.

I don't know if they were lazy or not. Let's assume they were... or that they got lazy after the release of Arcanum, because I could never believe lazy people made a game as complex as that. So... um.. what? The point still remains that save for bugs their games are miles ahead of The Witcher.

Sorry, but even the Enhanced Edition had problems and the loading times are not what I'd call short, but indeed much better than at release when they were horrendous.

Miles ahead of The Witcher? You must be talking about choices and consequences! Anything that has that in abundance automatically gets a free ride here at RPG Codex. You get a different image at the end with a different voice over. Wow! Certainly worth playing the game again to go through all the fucking combat again.

And Spacemoose, not in the mood for your bullshit today. Go and piss about in General Discussion you stupid piece of shit.

No, I'm talking about pretty much everything.

Let's see...

Arcanum, Bloodlines, ToEE

Better combat. Yes, even Arcanum had better combat than The Witcher and let's not even mention ToEE.
Better character creation. Really, nigga, The Witcher has no character creation worth mentioning.
Better exploration.

Arcanum, Bloodlines

Better story.
Better dialogs.
Better writing overall.

Arcanum

Better everything.


Certainly worth playing the game again to go through all the fucking combat again.

Do tell me what is the replay value of The Witcher. Might it be... uh... zero?

You have very poor taste. I'd kill myself if I was you. Arcanum has better combat than The Witcher? Complete and utter bullshit. You fucking fanboy. Even Planescape Torment has better combat than Arcanum. You fucking fanboy.

Yes, take the spiffy combat animations out of the Witcher and see if the combat is even worth watching. At least in Arcanum the combat didn't depended on whether I can do a click-combo or not.

Complete and utter bullshit.

Fine. How about addressing my other claims then?

You think Arcanum has better combat than The Witcher. Do I really need to read the rest of your bullshit?

I leave you now with this image. If there is any justice in the world Obsidian Entertainment will be next. And I'll be there, laughing when it happens.
