Cheers Rahk, but those videos have been taken down as well! I've seen some gameplay footage and it does look good, however I don't know if I need another MP in my Halo:Reach/COD mix. Was hoping for something with a little bit more on the SP side, than just bots.
Still, going to wait for the inevitable GB quick look.

GOG Updates Privacy Policy, Will No Longer Use Geo-IP to Determine Your Region
I've already pre-ordered TW2 but could this mean someone in Australia could get the $45 price by changing their country?

Yeah, but it's hard to justify. I just really, really like having shitloads of disposable income ATM. If I moved to Melbourne, I just wouldn't see myself saving anywhere near as much money (or having as much to spend).reptilescorpio said:
Pretty much this. Though I love having 1TB a month (which is essentially unlimited) it really is impossible to keep using that much in a month. Shit, I managed to get the first four seasons of Futurama (save me having to rip them myself... AND they had the commentaries included!), first TWELVE of Top Gear, porn (90% of which I'd never "utilise" but 99% would still never delete... I'm a hoarder) and Steam/XBL stuff and still didn't fill it. I tried, too.
Also, with having that speed there's just no challenge in getting anything. I remember being patient and thinking it was oh-so worth it to finally download a 10gb game from Steam, now it's done in an hour or two.

If that's happening right now, I'd guarantee that the Australian price thing was a catalyst. That reminds me, I'm sure I bought The Witcher in some Steam sale. Is it really so good that TW2 is getting such high praise before release?
PS. Happy Birthday, Rez!

My old man has a gen1 iPad but i'm guessing i can't use that for testing. He will probably tweet about it or something.
I took the earlier train today, Holy shit it was packed compared to my normal train. I had to stand for 50 minutes, I usually get a seat with no problem at all. Guess reading the book on the way to work is out of the question.
No good looking girls to perv on either. Bad train is bad.

Anyone happen to be going to race day at doomben racecourse this saturday?
Be cool to grab a drink if others are attending.

Nope. I'm not worried, though. It has taken longer for other stuff to come from the UK, and there's every chance that they said they posted it but actually posted it a few days later. I'm not going to start packing dacks until I get a letter from customs. I'm fine waiting, otherwise.

Interesting... I think this may mean we will be able to download the uncensored/changed Witcher 2 by simply changing our country to "US" (or any other country for that matter) in the user settings.
If so, fuck yeh!

It is a one time thing where they are selling The Witcher 2 for their parent company. Maybe we wont get Namco Bandai games on GOG for a while. They may stop publishing future CD Projekt RED games. That is about it.Omi said:

I thought that myself, but I'm thinking that even if you order it with your account set to Australia, the link to download the game could potentially change depending on what your country is set to.
Or it might not even care if you have an account set to US but pay with Australian credit card. It wouldn't surprise me if this is the case knowing GOG.
I know Steam/D2D cracks the shits if you try and buy a game using an Australian Paypal account, even when going through the IP spoofers/proxies so it's possible it could do that, but I don't think the guys at GOG are going to be that tricky.BanShunsaku said:
I just love that they did this right before TW2 comes out. Genius of them, actually.

Hopfully it means that there isn't enough time for Namco to crack the shits and threaten to pull the retail version. To be honest I don't think they will do anything since Steam is still full price and they would see Steam as a much bigger market for the game.Shaneus said:
Also I totally thought you were a new member, nice to see the Martin love!

Namco are doing distribution in West Europe while Atari do the US. CD Projekt are doing East Europe themselves. 1C are doing the Russian release. Also found this tidbit on wiki:Shaneus said:

This GOG talk has gotten me super pumped for TW2 again.
Been trying to keep my hype to a minimum as I know it is probably going to run terribly on my PC

What are your specs? Sounds like it scales down well and the main draw of the game is the story anyway.BanShunsaku said:This GOG talk has gotten me super pumped for TW2 again.

It isn't a horriblly outdated machine or anything but I'm a bit funny about wanting to set things on maximum. I hadn't read any impressions about how it runs, but that sounds promising. Fingers crossed!
Googling that model brings up tits, Might not be a good idea at work.
The witcher was a solid, although flawed RPG. It was ruff around the edges but that's what people liked about it.
It's been a while since i played it but i do remember enjoying the game immensely, even after the slow start.
Also, Serrels. Do you think you will be able to speak to that guy from GOG again and ask him what the implications are for Aussies wanting to buy the witcher 2 over GOG after the recent changes to the service.

The first one has been cheap a bunch of times. Why not check it out?Shaneus said:
Speaking of GOG, oh how I'd love to see this on there. I suspect I still have the original CDs (yes, it came with two discs so you could play two-player on separate machines!) and box somewhere, but buggered if I know where it is.
For those unable to click the link, it's Fire Fight by Chaos Works. Published by Epic (or EA, I can't quite remember). MobyGames info.

I think I actually have it at home. I haven't scheduled it for play in my backlog (yet).Fredescu said:

Should run okay on High. RPS ran the preview build on an i5 with a 250GTS on Ultra and got around 20-30 fps. I would expect the gold build to run better.BanShunsaku said:
It is a great RPG. Fantastic story with decisions that really mattered. I enjoyed the combat and it was a lot of fun. TW2 seems to improve EVERYTHING. Looks incredible, improved combat to be more fluid and enjoyable, the plot that has been hinted at seems really cool. Plus they always support the community really well, you can download the Polish voiceover day one if you want. Plus it is at a great price point considering how long the game will be, even better with 14 endings. You should buy it if you want to play a third person perspective action RPG that is focused on telling an engrossing story. Plus graphical showcase. Plus wash the taste of DA2 from your mouth.Shane said:

Oh, shit. I was just reading that one of the guys who made this game from my childhood is in CD Projekt. He also worked on the aforementioned Fire Fight!

I don't give any amounts of shit about anything - I just ate a kitkat and used nuttella as dipping sauce. It was like a backwards ferrero roche.
This is better than the time I made a cold milo, but reversed the proportions of milo and milk. A cup full of milo and a tablespoon or two of milk.
Yes, I will die before I am 30.
