Can't decide The Witcher or Crysis

[darkar]

I would say witcher if you actually finish those games.. crysis if you want the awe this#$#$ is awsome looking factor

Heres my perspective.. after FF8 bugged on the third disk (pc) i havent finished a game since... Ive never played the single player campaign on wc3.. nothing. When i play games i play with others.. i get on vent and talk to some friends.. or i go play some tf2 and frag with some friends.. Farcry had a ok multiplayer(nothing special balance/competive side wasnt on par with the big names).. but it wasnt anything special. So in that respect you may have more fun with the witcher first, since crysis is basically the same game type..... Personally ill buy crysis on release day install it and go into the multiplayer and start killing players As others have said its a FPS. if you like that type play it.. I buy everything i want because its my relaxation. but as you can see i A.D.D my gaming so maybe im not one to ask .

average day:
wake up
eat
work
eat
work
tf2/ cs:s
dota
wow raid <hellgate london has taken this place
dota
DoD / tf2 /cs:S
movie
movie -movie with special someone
"fun time" with the special someone, prolly not because i ran out of prepayed time or incompatible game type.......

rinse repeat

I say Witcher now and Crysis in a few monthes after a new faster video card is released. After testing the demo my desire for Crysis with today's hardware is dead. Until it can be run on DX10 on Ultra at a nice solid 40-60 frames you can count me out.

Waiting for a faster video card is out of the question for at least two years for me. I just bought my second 8800GTS for SLI and I am hot, the performance isn't good it is worse ! Further more MS sucks with there install disk. Now instead of tweaking XP Pro 64bit for my games I have to do two new installs on both since XP pro changed my drive letter for vista thus making it unusable. This has been a crap night and day!

Crysis looks to be way fun, but on the other hand I have 8 games to finish. The smart thing would be to get a new cpu fan. and wait on both but my body is telling me crysis, then witcher and cpu fan with crysis. The only game I have been drooling over is Brothers in Arms Hells Highway.

Yeah - Hell's Highway does look pretty good. It seems like a mix R6V (cover system) and... errrr... Brothers in Arms...

I have a bunch of games I need to finish anyway but Crysis is looking amazing and I get good results with the demo now and my current set up (Second 8800gts 640mb and 2 extra gigs of ram should be here Thursday). I still need to finish Bioshock (which is my favorite of all time), Fear, Medal of Honor Airborne, Company of Hero's, and Oblivion. Not to mention I love IL2 1946, and wish I could play my other games GTR2, and Race 07. Also in addition to those I have BF2 and Dark Messiah which have never been installed and I am getting Quake Wars with my 8800.

The problem is the performance over the past year with my rig that hasn't allowed me to play or enjoy any of my games. The newer games are giving me great performance and the older ones, Oblivion (so wish it would run smooth), Fear, Company of heros, GTR 2 and Race 07 (which is new) run like crap. So the witcher I am hoping will give me my oblivion fix that I have been wanting for months and crysis just kicks ass.

Oh yea COD4 runs great on my rig with one card and it looks to be fun. I can't decide whether to go with it or crysis.

Not to sound like a dick, but I played all of those games and enjoyed them quite a bit on my Opteron 170 with a 7950GT graphics card, which just barely got replaced by an 8800GT. I run all of my games at 1280x1024 with most details turned up to max and little AA. They don't run like crap.

And while Bioshock is a freaking awesome game it's kinda odd that your favorite game is one you haven't even finished?

That's pretty simple and narrow minded, but it's your loss. If they didn't scale the graphics up so amazingly high in it and the highest settings looked like the medium setting, it'd still be a great game.

 

[Luthorcrow]

No its not narrow minded, I just want to save the game so I can experience it right. I never said that I won't play it. I am just going to wait for next gen cards to hit. If I play a game, I want to play at highest settings.

Dude you are not a dick at all, just stating your opinion . For me sometimes I wish I had a small monitor but I am gaming at 1920 x 1080, and yes my favorite game right now is Bioshock. I haven't finished it but that doesn't take away the experience that I am having with it. I love taking my time with games now. The last game I was hell bent on beating and playing nonstop was Metal Gear Solid 2, beat it in 8 hours after waiting 8 months frantic to get it just didn't seem like a fair trade off.

I just reloaded both of my OS's and XP Pro killed Bioshock and Medal of honor Airborne in SLI. I always use v-sync because I find it pointless to worry about extreme numbers when you have screen tearing and the human eye can't tell the difference over 60fps. Now I think I might install the 64 bit of vista instead because I have 4gb's of ram. Race 07, Oblivion, and Company of heroes still stutters so I wonder if I should just move on, since older games having timing issues for me with my dual core.
