Edge: 1M Sold: The Witcher's Secret to PC Success (News)

Oct 30, 2008

Edge writes: "PC gaming is taking a beating from consoles in terms of revenue, if your packaged goods, Western-centric attitude is to be believed.

But in an environment where PC gaming appears to be in an uphill battle against accessible consoles, wonky system requirements and--gasp--piracy, Poland-based CD Projekt's development debut, the PC RPG The Witcher, has been able to sell 1 million copies worldwide in the 12 months since its release.

And why wouldn't it be a commercial success? With such a mainstream license from best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski portrayed in a single-player PC RPG, The Witcher was a sure-fire hit all along."

The Witcher Is A Bit Patchy (News)

Sep 20, 2008

Rock, Paper Shotgun writes: "That's right, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition patch is now available for those of you who bought the game the first time around. It's a beefy 1.2gb and there's a mirror here.

I'm grinding my way through the Enhanced Edition at the moment and finding The Witcher to be an uneven experience. There's plenty to like about it - especially with Polish voice-acting and English subtitles glossing over the dodgy dialogue - the grim art style, decaying fantasy world, and general melee combat are all to my tastes. The mechanical elements of the RPG, however, are less slick. It's full of annoyances in the way some quests are structured, as well as they way character development is introduced. These needed as much of an overhaul as the cosmetic stuff the Enhanced Edition dealt with. And sex cards thing? Wow. That's so, so crass. I'll probably write some more on this when I've managed to get myself unstuck from the end of the first chapter."

The Witcher Enhanced Edition (Review)

Sep 17, 2008

Not many games get a second chance, but we’re glad that The Witcher is one of them. We went into it the first time around with low expectations, and after an opening chapter so boring you could use it to mine for diamonds, came out grinning at the first genuinely good, ‘proper’ RPG in years. There. We admit it. We liked it a lot. ...
