Play in Polish with subtitles? Awesome dev support meant that you could do that in the first game.Beowulf28 said:

Yeesh, it's gonna take a beast to run this game. My computer barely ran the first one.

The first one was optimized badly or something. My PC can play games prettier than TW1 at better framerates yet struggles with some relatively simple stuff in TW1. I had to turn FRAPs off so I didnt see the fps going back and forth all the time although I was still able to feel it.
TW2 looks so good. Im hoping that my i5 750 and ATI 5850 will be sufficient enough.

If you buy it on GOG or what not, at least buy the boxed edition for the music and the short story. Though you should just get the book, The Last Wish; it's great.
Best song on the 'inspired by' OST.

Hah, we have reduced consolites to the status of nintenbots, they are using their same excuses and everything (graphics are not important!, sales are!). Another victory for the master race.
And holy shit at the last pics.
Have you tried EE version? they re-recorded a lot of stuff. In any case, the Polish version is one of the best VOs this gen and I reccomend going with that if you don't mind subtitles.

I don't see any problem with them selling the best games Bioware ever managed to make. They are keeping the memory of what Bioware once was alive.Catshade said:

60 in Poland, I'm on the fence thought. While the artbook is great (I have the one for Witcher 1) there is just so much garbage there I will never have any use for.

I think they have an deal with them, not sure beyond that.
I wonder if the Polish VA will be an option this time. I really enjoyed playing the first game with that option as Geralt speaking Polish sounded even more awesome.
And yeah, those screen shots are frickin awesome. Like, my eyes are melting from pure joy awesome. It's going to be a long wait until May.

I love Geralt's English VA, so I hope it's still him.

Those later shots (which are clearly taken while the player has control) are selling me more than the ones in the OP (which look like in-game cutscenes). The game really does look amazing.
And DA2 has always been butt-ugly, ever since the first screenshots came out. That won't stop it from being fun, or from selling 10x as many units as Witcher 2.

I know it, but it was a great chance to make a snarky post
In any case, and this is an old battle for me, there is absolutely no reason why you can't have a great game with great graphics (or great art at least). So the "graphics are not everything" thing don't work, especially when we are comparing Bioware with CDProjekt. Sorry, but there is no excuse for what Bioware has shown so far of Dragon Age 2 so far, and these pics makes it truly embarassing.

My word, it looks amazing!

Both of them? Theres 2 soundtracks?
GOG only lists one.
Heres the link:
http://www.gog.com/en/page/tw2v2/
1 of 5 select GOG titles
Artbook PDF
Guide and Manual PDF
Official Soundtrack
Papercraft PDF
Maps and Letters PDF
Bonus Videos
And the game, of course. 45 bucks.
Man when I list it like that, it seems like an even better deal.
EDIT: TW1 also came with the soundtrack which I immediately listened to after beating it. Its soo good. If TW2s music is half that great, we are in for a treat.

I am not even sure DA2 will sell twice as much. There are also other things to consider like how much did the development cost for each game and how many are sold on console and at retail because the return on those sales isn't anything close to what CD projekt will be getting for a single copy sold on steam or gog.mrpeabody said:

Also, fyi, there's a 20% off all games sale at Directe2Drive. You can apply it to The Witcher 2 so your grand total would be ~$36, DRM free like the GOG version. I'm trying to decide if I want to order it there or stick with my Amazon preorder, I kinda want a box :/

Yes, there's the 'soundtrack' and the 'inspired by' soundtrack, with around 12 songs performed by various artists; including Believe and Beltaine's Bring to the Boil(linked to above).

Just to make it look like that, probably the one you have is fine! (sorry)
If you want to get 60fps like that, probably a GTX 480 / 560 or AMD/ATI 5970 / 6950 would be pretty safe bets (for fear of guessing something not strong enough)!
Could be lower though, we'll have to wait and see, there's nothing official afaik.
Edit: Changed 570 to 560.
