Love the game, this will just make it even better.

2008-02-20 16:16:32

Was planning on picking this up soon, but I think I'll just hold out for the new package. Cool.

Awesome! Is this still looking good for September? I've been waiting for the uber-update before I play. I loved the demo, very very much.

They have delayed this game so many times that I have no idea when it's coming.

Yep demo was really great. I can't wait to get this game.

As soon as I learned that this update would include a ton of rerecorded dialog, I knew I had to wait to play it. The translation is a bit harsh in the initial release, at least, that's what I took in from the demo.

2008-07-18 13:55:04

Great to see good support for this game. Like those who get the game earlier get all the enhancements free. Just how it should be.

Yes I had to wait too. It's been hard not to just go and get the game. Just a little longer I guess.

Yeah, even though the update is going to be free, I'd rather wait and get the new package. Probably a silly move, since we'll probably wind up wasting money by doing so, since the original version can be had at a discount if you look around. But, oh well.

2008-07-18 16:29:48

Hmm I might give the demo a try.

I can recommend it. It's quite big file ~2GB but worth it. If you like it I would recommend you to wait and get the enhanced edition.

Wow the demo is horrible, Isomac how can you be so harsh on Too Human when this game has as many faults with its fighting and animation.

Think I will pass on this one.

Different strokes maybe? I thought The Witcher demo was great. It helps to lock it into an isometric view, as the combat is almost impossible by comparison over the shoulder, but I thought the combat was well done. The only big fault I saw in the demo was with the translation and clunky conversations.. which should be ironed out quite a bit in the uber patch.

When I finished all of the quests in the demo, I was sure that I would eventually play The Witcher.

2008-07-18 19:43:16

Yea I didn't try Isometric out in all honesty, perhaps i will give it another try later... :S

The combat seems basic, but it is an RPG, and as such I suspect there's a lot more to it that we don't get to experience in the demo. It's a pretty long game too, not Baldurs Gate long, but from what I hear it's 40+ hours.. which would suggest that there might be a good deal of progression throughout.

I honestly forget everything I learned about progression in the demo, which is a bit of a shame, since I usually try to use that experience to base my initial build off of in the retail game. It's a good thing that you can use the save game file from the demo.. I'll probably start over, but it'll be nice to be able to load that up and play around with the leveling system a bit before I commit to anything.

I wouldn't compare this game to Too Human. This game has some problems with the fighting too but all the else is just so awesome that I can't wait to get this game. Enhanced edition is going to fix and add animations and lots of stuff to game. Also you have to remember that this game uses Neverwinter Nights 1 engine. They sure tweaked the engine. This game is more like Baldurs Gate than action RPG. Long main quest, lots of side quests and you do choices, mix potions and all that stuff that I like.

I am downloading it again. I can't really remember how the fighting was but I think the basic was to press the attack at the right moment to do combos, defend and change the fighting style.

Yes I am harsh to TH but I just don't like it. I have played so much games with looting and all. So I am not wowed just by the amount of loot or skill trees. Seen that all already in other games done much better too. Those other games didn't have camera problems either or horrible UI. End of TH talk.

This game is awesome. I never beat it since the load times just pissed me off, but after this update I'll probably make a new file.

NWN engine 1, pretty impressive, looks loads better than NWN2 LOL

When all think alike, no one is thinking very much.

2008-07-23 20:18:38

All the enhancements will be free? :o

I like the sound of that.
