7 Reasons The Witcher Beats Skyrim

Clickonline writes: "With only ten days to go, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition for Xbox 360 promises a more focused, more polished, more mature experience than Bethesda’s open world leviathan.

And this point deserves repeated emphasis folks... Geralt carries two swords. TWO."

Dark Soul's/The Witcher 2 both beat that mess of a game called Skyrim with its nonexistent combat system...titles like Dark Soul's and the Witcher 2 really deserve the support and should move millions of units instead of over-hyped buggy/glitch fest titles from Bethesda.

Still annoys me that it won game of the year...

[Crystallis]

Totally agree! and skyrim won game of the year by many gaming website. Go figure.

[Simon_Brezhnev]

It looks better, plays better, and the story is better.

Here we go again. God forbid there be two good rpg's, or that someone might have a preference.

[Wolfbiker]

its called 'competitiveness'

go sit on the bench and cry about it.

I'm loving this game. Great year for people like me that really love RPG's. The Witcher 2 and Dragon's Dogma will occupy a lot of my time.

[Blastoise]

I'll second that. Keeping my eye out for Dragon's Dogma and I hope we dont get any typical Capcom DLC shenanigans...

[ThatEnglishDude]

Why can't people be grateful that we have 3 GREAT fantasy RPG's? (Dark Souls, Skyrim and Witcher 2)

[Mariusmssj]

They are but you people tend to pick a favourite

[BabyTownFrolics]

this is n4g, you'll have to go somewhere else to talk about games with civility

I'm so glad others felt the same way I did about Skyrim, yawwwwn to that game (I loved Oblivion and Fallout 3 btw).

Also ME3 was another yawnfest (after loving 1&2) and I really didn't like the homosexual agenda that game seems to have (I don't care if my view is unpopular, I'm not a homophobe but the way Bioware are shoving it down our throats is shameful, how would you like it if a few main characters were christian for example and kept trying to convert you).

I bloody loved Dark Souls though so maybe The Witcher 2 is for me.

"I'm not a homophobe but I hate the fact you have the option to be homosexual in a game!"

Comment of the month right here.

[Wolfbiker]

have you tried not being gay in the game? its not hard, you just.... don't be gay?

[Mythicninja]

By having an option to be gay in the game, bioware was "shoving it down your throat"? It's not like a reaper forcefully buttsexes you, only the ending of the actual game has that effect.

[Rampaged Death]

I liked Skyrim although it's too big for me. Can't wait for The Witcher.

[Wolfbiker]

that's what she said.

[360GamerFG]

She too cannot wait for the Witcher?

[mistajeff]

I'm having trouble thinking of an RPG in recent years that handles choice and consequence as well as Witcher 2. I can't wait for the enhanced edition patch, the new content has me foaming at the mouth. My only big complaint was that it seems to end abruptly, but a lot of the new content seems to be focused on expanding the game's last chapter. Pumped.
