Who's more hopeful for Witcher 2 than Skyrim?

I am extremely excited for both Do i have to pick?

People who take 5 seconds to think about things like this.

I can't pick. I think both games will turn out well. That's my gut feeling. I'm sure people will bitch about this or that or have differing opinions, but both look like they're going to be a lot of fun to play.

I'll be off, Azeroth!
Farewell Hyrule
So long, Albion I'm no longer your fool!

(Skyrim)

I'm very excited for both. I can't pick either.

I think this is slightly biased by being in the Witcher 2 forum but still... Oblivion was a game I instantly loved, with The Witcher it still hasn't gelled with me yet. I've heard you need to put time in for it to click but I mean five ish hours in its not compelling me to play more. I go back sporadically though.

one comes out next week, the other in 6 months or whatever... who the fuck wants to even compare them at this point

They're both kinda different games. I think I'll like the Witcher more, because I think the world will feel more immersive. Skyrim will probably be technically impressive, like Oblivion was in it's time, but relatively lifeless. That doesn't mean I won't enjoy roaming the open world of Skyrim, I just think I'll enjoy the story of the Witcher more. However, neither game is released yet, so we'll see.

Mostly excited about The Witcher 2, I didn't Oblivion or Morrowind that much.
If skyrim is different, then yes maybe.

Hey Guyz do you want to root for the underdog or the big mean mainstream game?

Witcher 2 looks good, but I am anticipating it will have a lot of the foreign game jank.  Is that a concept page yet?

These games aren't even anywhere near the same level for me. Hell, every other game might as well be some budget indie title when I compare it to Skyrim.

Skyrim will be definitely 9+ game... Witcher 2? Not sure... Guessing anywhere from 8 to 9. Now this doesn't mean that there won't be people who will poo poo Skyrim and praise Witcher 2 and vise versa...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

As someone who has absolutely no love for the Elder Scrolls universe, but really dig the first The Witcher, I will have to side with you.

Are you more hopeful for staplers or paint roller?

I'm excited for The Witcher 2 as well but calling it an underdog is a complete misnomer. Just for context, it's been in development for over 3 years and the dev team is bigger than Skyrim's. And it's been optimized for only one platform. CDProjekt are no paupers eithers, with gog.com being a big success over the last couple of years. They better deliver an outstanding game.

I'm more excited for skyrim but interested in both games. I really disliked Oblivion because of the autoleveling but Morrowind was one of my all time favorite games (Autoleveling is fixed now). I liked the witcher but I didn't think the writing was especially interesting and the game had lots of technical problems. They are very ambitious with the new Witcher and I have high hopes but from my gut feeling I would have to go with Skyrim :).

There isn't a choice, at my roots I'm an RPG whore, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if 2011 ended and I hadn't played both to a respectable degree.

Apples and oranges.

I'm very interested in Witcher 2, even though I haven't played the first one yet.
