Really interested in the Witcher, but I will wait for price drop. Its impossible to buy these AAA games full price when you live in Lithuania, with our third world slaries and all.
Would you recommend to pick up Witcher 2 first, or it's really unnecessary? I know Witcher 2 was a good game, but I am not interested in that one, I want huge open world in my RPG.

O'm very excited for Xcom 2. Problem is, I don't have a PC that can play games. Witcher 2 is really good and I would reccomend it but if you dont have interest just wait for Witcher 3.

You don't need to play Witcher 2.
3 explains everything very well for a new player, and it's awesome :)

Angry Joe gave it a 10. Though he gave Skyrim a 10 as well, and I had love hate (more hate) relationships with that game.

I'd recommend the earlier games, particularly 2 since it's more relevant to 3. I disagree that it explains anything much, unless you feel like going through the character entries and other assorted glossary stuff. So you'll miss a fair bit, but the game does do a good job of presenting you with the relevant and necessary information to keep it from being a barrier.

I was assuming you would actually read those things, if you don't, then of course it doesn't explain much... 2 is a good game, but it's a pale shadow of 3, the design is much more limited. Witcher 3 is the best overall RPG I've ever played, and I've been playing them since Wizardry and Ultima 1. Wonderful work :-)

This should help as well (57 megs) :-)

Well, minimum one is around 300 Euros a month (333 Dollars), which is what I am getting right now doing unskilled labor. I also got scholarship, but its so small its even worth mentioning really.

Damn, I know people who spend $333 on yoga classes each month :x

Well, everything is also much cheaper so it balances things out. American wages are much higher, but everything is more expensive as well. Its probably impossible to live on 300 bucks in the States, while in Lithuania, its actually possible.
But, unlike all the other things, video games have universal price, its 60 dollars (or a regional equivalent) everywhere in the world.

I definitely recommend Witcher 3. I have been a fan of the books since they were first translated and never played the first two games. The third game is awesome.

I also am interested in X-Com 2 but I don't want it on the PC. I had a lot of fun with it on the PS3 and hope they change their minds and make a console port. I'm busy trying to fit in time to play Witcher 3, Pillars of Eternity and Galatic Civilization 3...

Oh man I am legitimately so excited about this.

Every year I scour through the rosters on the PS4 version to get a decent edit of our 2003-04 team and never find one

A position change should bump him up to 75/76 (did last year, anyways)
