Evening Reading
by Jeff Mattas, Feb 10, 2011 5:00pm PSTInspired by Garnett's recent (if late) discovery of CD Projekt's The Witcher (and The Witcher 2's approaching release), I decided to go back and restart Geralt's first adventure. It had been a while since I'd fired up the game, but it's been at the top of my "favorite games I haven't finished, yet" pile for a couple of years now.
While the game is starting to show its age a bit (especially when compared to more recent, similarly-structured games like Dragon Age), I'm still really impressed as to how well the experience holds up, roughly four years after release. Of course, The Witcher has received significant presentational updates since it first hit the shelves, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still the best looking game that uses the Aurora Engine, even including titles produced by BioWare. If you're an RPG fan that somehow missed it, The Witcher is a game you should go back and play. It's only $19.99 on Steam, at the moment. Well worth it.
In a world where the shelf-life of your average game seems to be diminishing, what are some of your favorite games that still hold up several years after release?
And, here are some newsy links:
A potential zone with all PvP all the time is something they'll consider.
Dual targeting potentially in the future
The Port Scion zone with be 20 vs 20
On DPS meters. He stressed that a large number of people find them a horrible addition to MMO's and they are incredibly decisive.
Player housing maybe someday but that it takes away from a social atmosphere when people are always inside their homes playing house.
Cloaks: High on the consideration list.
Server names: The final list is being reorganized, names being removed/added. It *should* be available on the 22nd, 2 days before prelaunch.
