The actual medallion is only included with the Dark Edition. In the US, GameStop offered a keychain as a preorder bonus.

NA versions of blue dragon and lost odyssey.
Mine has stacked discs.
Still though, for €60, this is one heck of a package. I hope it plays as good as it looks. :lol
Ouch. I know the pain upon seeing such atrocities.
This may seem like a small thing but I'm super impressed that they provided a quality case for a multidisc release. Not even MS does that (disc stacking ftl).
Is that the US version? PAL version has shitty disc stacking. And NO, an unknown autograph isn't gonna make up for disc stacking
Yes

Any way to change the controller sensitivity? I started playing and it feels really 'loose'.

I'm installing this on my 360 but got a warning saying "your device doesn't meet Xbox 360 performance recommendations, buy an Xbox branded USB". It's a sandisk, should I be worried?

I never see Dark Edition available on Amazon and GameStop never have pre-order option in store. Is it like super-limited on-line only?
Anyone see it at local store (US)? I really want to support them for bringing this game to console by getting Limited Edition but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
GAF I'm torn, I picked up my Dark Edition pre-order today, but haven't opened it. I don't know if I want to keep it or flip it for massive profit. =(
It's just packed with useless crap that will probably end up crammed in a drawer within a week, might as well sell it and use a portion of your profits to buy the regular version (buy drugs or something with the rest).
And??? I'm from the UK, why would i know or care what the ESRB is. I barely pay attention to our own ratings system never mind some foreign one

I feel the same way. I've got one coming from Amazon tomorrow. I'd love to flip through the art book. But that's about it.
hmm I see, I had the problem even without an OC but I can't try now since I uninstalled the game :/
The Witcher 1? Yes. Just get ready for weird combat and lots of jank.
Nobody is better than Triss.
Yeah. The first Witcher is one of those games that is amazing in spite of itself. I just played through it for the first time last summer, and the game mechanics are a bit rough around the edges. The story is top notch, however, and the graphics are more than passable.
Imagine Diablo, except you have to time the clicks of your mouse for max damage. Also, you have to change your stance depending on the type of mob you're fighting. It's not as bad as it sounds, but does take about 15-20 minutes to adjust to. I was used to it by the time the prologue was over.
My suggestion for those going through the first game is simply play it on easy mode. There are other weird things with the game like a potion creation system that is fairly complicated, that you don't have to mess with on the easier modes of the game. This is not a game that gives you a big sense of accomplishment for playing on hard mode. It's worth it for the story and atmosphere.
Man, been so long since I last played. Dark Mode is kicking my ass so far, but I'm making my way through nonetheless. My question to anyone who's beaten Dark Mode: are the Dark Mode armor sets worth making? My instinct is to not bother with the first set, but instead try to save up and get the Act II set immediately. Going Swordsmanship this playthrough, if it matters.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
The 'party' was one of those weird video game moments where you're told of something, in this case a 'party', but the technology fails to back it up. An oversized room with four people in it, and a drunken run for cheese.
fuck that witch.

actually, i'm hoping the graphics are somewhat simple cause I have to play on my laptop with a geforce 310m. let's just say this comp isn't optimized for gaming...
voice acting was great (I played in Polish). I didn't care about technology
You should just sell me the amulet. ;D
Yeah, you are going to have a rough go of it. The Witcher 1's engine is a gigantic pile of shit. What it appears they did is take the Neverwinter Nights engine and layer huge textures on top of the thing that the engine was never meant to support.
It WILL work, I played a bit of it on an original Alienware m11x with a relative of that GPU, but you will want to play on the lowest settings.

hmm, thanks for the info

I think that is his point. It has ESRB on it, not PEGI. So that would make that the US release

Same, really. Think I'll just sit on this for a bit, the ones currently on eBay don't seem to be selling. I've waited like a year for this port, I can wait a week or two more.

I'm on the fence on this game right now (Xbox). I had the first one and might have played it 10 hours before putting it away for good. I was in tech school at the time so my schedule was pretty tight plus I had a bunkmate. I don't remember why I didn't stick with it maybe since there was no internet I probably just got sick of not being able to google shit while i played.
Anyways, my PC sucks now, and I don't remember anything about the story. I'm pretty sure I want to drop the $60 for it..but idk. Just figured I'd air my indecisiveness.
tl;dr: The game is a solid 30+ hours, right?

Wish my PC could handle Witcher 2. Just bought the 360 version and it's pretty rough looking.

People in this thread have posted the complete opposite. GAH!
I don't have a gaming PC so I don't have a choice, hope it looks ok.

It'll look good, especially if you haven't experienced the PC version any way.
Only if you have good taste.

I can vouch for the 360 version. Played about an hour this morning and it looks damn impressive as long as you do an install.
Solid 30+ yeah. Took me around 34 hours to finish almost everything on normal difficulty. The story of the first game is mostly separate fyi, if you really wanted you could just read a summary of it. It's mostly only the ending that sets up the second game.
Where you getting hard reboots or just the black screen/desktop flickering?

I'm about an hour in and the game has some wicked pop ins. Soldiers in the background popping in and out. My sword disappeared while still fighting in the arena.
I have a fairly new 250GB 360 Slim, the game is installed.

You can revert to other difficultis form Dark but then you can't go back and you lose all armour acquired.The only thing that I would warn noobs like me is that there is a place in the game where you get stripped of your magic and alcehmy...if you don't update your sword path it is ssimply brutal on Dark. I normally bring a tonne of traps if I can't mellee a tough enemy and these were sttripped as well.
end of act 2 you play as a wraith
FOr the price of a cheesburger it is definitely worth it to find out. I find it tedious battle-wise but story wise its top notch so far. THe bar fighting is actually better than the QTE in tw2.

NO question this games's combat is vstly improved over tw1...I find it 2nd to the souls games for realism and strategy..the magic part is actually superior.
