Anything less than the run time of a full M&M trilogy, Baldur's Gate 2 or three runs of Fallout 2 is a disappointment. Scientifically proven!

Oh good then, at least people will depressed until a game comes out longer than all of those, and after that will continue to be depressed until the new record setter. It's an attitude of perpetual disappointment. Assuming people are serious, which I doubt they are.

Yes, I think it's a prologue, 3 chapters and a epilogue.
Also chapter 2 will have two different locations depending on what choices made in chapter 1, I don't know about chapter 3.


Only 48 hours? Thats more than what you get from most games these games

Also, chapter 2 will have two different locations depending on what choices made in chapter 1, I don't know about chapter 3. Plus there probably are the different aliments, or paths through the game. Which adds to the replayability , so if you take 48 x 2 thats 96 hours which is ALOT of hours from a modern RPG.

No kidding, the only game in recent memory to even come close (ever so slightly surpassing at a 52 hour play) was Dragon Age: Origins. Assuming you listened to all of the dialogue and explored pretty much everywhere.

Seeing as how TES gives me more than double that, than yes, disappointing. Throw in the chapter based gameplay and it's a deal breaker.

Well you can live with your disappointment then, you evidently had no idea what kind of game this was.

Edit
Aren't they also releasing their tools to mod the game again? Or have I heard wrong. /random tangent.

You play TES?

And you're right. I didn't know how W2 plays or its intricacies, that's why I asked.

I did play Oblivion, wasting several hours of my life on the atrocity. Morrowind I wasted hundreds of hours, but even still the story of Witcher 1 is superior. If how good a game is, is based on it's length. Go play Tetris or Pong.

Information about that seems to be hidden in the Mists of Avalon.

If this game took more than 50 hours to complete, I wouldn't play it. SRS. Long games are boring.

Depends entirely on the game, I would say. I wouldn't be able to endure 50 hours of Call of Duty (though only 4 or 5 is too short), but 100 hours of Morrowind were no problem at all.

Yeah it does depend on the game. A game like The Witcher is perfect around 20-30hours.

I'd say it's a story issue for me. If the game is mostly focused on the plot then having it go too long is a problem. Games like TES where the story takes a back-seat whenever I feel like wandering off and doing something else can sustain much more playing time.

TES is an open world sandbox where you can play as much as you like, but the content is definitely diluted compared to something like The Witcher.

The MQs of Oblivion and Morrowind are each only around 10-15 hours, but a playthrough can last hundreds of hours without even touching the main quest.

Supposedly TW2 is more "open-world" compared with TW1, but the jury is still out on that.

Who has a CE in her hands? Oh yeah. Anybody else? ^_^
Blasted DRM, I CURSE YOU!

Nice! did it come with the Witcher dice?

Can you play it IRL?

How did you get it so early? :cold:

Got something better: Log attack!

First of all: Logos, age ratings and stuff are on a separate piece of paper.
Artbook is of very good print quality, hardcover, lots of dev texts. Nice.
Three stickers. Meh.
Geralt's head. I think this one has gotten the lesser super-power and doesn't attract women, but instead tons of fluff from its packaging. Which ends up on my hands when I touch the bust. Other than that - really pretty. About the length of my hand and in plaster.
Neeext... Dice. Yup, the dice are in. Good quality here, too. I think I have a a bunch of new 1d6 here. ^_^
Last in the big packaging, three pages for a paper doll monster. The directions seem somewhat weird... Anyway, papercraft.

The game pack seems to be the exact same as the premium version, which is what you get as the normal version right now. Contains... Papercraft doll of Geralt. Paperdoll fights!
Game guide. Uninteresting to me. Sadly it's in German, which I will likely not play the game in. Whatever. Seems very thorough though.
Something dropped from the desk. It's a tiny coin. Not bigger than five Euro cent. Also pretty.
Map of not exactly big proportions. Will still end up next to the others on my wall.
A defamatory letter against a certain King Henselt. Well, certainly atmospheric.
Two DVD packs. One of the Making Of DVD and the soundtrack, and the other of the game itself, which I will not install until Tuesday. I know that I'll get totally freaky about that game icon and constantly check whether the activation servers might already be online.



So, that's it. Huge chest of wonders. And I like huge chests. ^_^

Female charm. :hubbahubba:

Nah, I have a friend who works at a small game store who can supply me early. They even had the game yesterday, but didn't register it with the sales data until this evening. ^_^

I'm really jealous of anyone who can even afford that CE.
*Sadly eyes the pictures*
It would've looked so nice next to the Witcher CE
