DOH! I wonder if it will be fixed by tommorow. | |
Well, I must admit, that would be kind of shocking, finding everything to have suddenly forgone the need for blood. | |
"My blood! He punched out ALL my blood!" | |
huh...you think SOMEONE on Dev would notice... | |
If you'll check the newest Shack thread, we already released the patch for this a couple hours after we realized it was a problem... curse you, Escapist! | |
"We"? So...does CDP in your name stand for what I think it does? | |
exactly how do you forget a file that turns blood on is my question... | |
OMFG! Famous person! I'll have your baby Tom! | |
well on the plus side. If no blood is the biggest thing to complain about sounds like they did a good job with the game | |
Behold: The Blood Patch... http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/12936/The+Witcher+Enhanced+Edition+-+Blood+Patch | |
It seems ridiculus that a game where you can have sex with various different women and see their partially nude body that the game would have bearly any blood. | |
CD Projekt has the best swag. I still have my leather mousepads and bloody Santa postcard. :D I noticed the new Witcher on Steam the other day, I'll have to pick it up soon. | |
Dude, you're doing it WRONG! :) | |
Sorry, but... LOL (I swear, I really did). Anyways, wouldn't it be easy to just do it yourself. I don't mod, so it may be my lack of experience. It's good that the patch is up though... **tries to keep straight face** ... **fails** | |
doing what's wrong? I havn't actually played the game. just have I heard omost of it is lol. | |
Given the context you wrote it in, the latter is dependant on the former. :) | |

Enhanced Witcher Loses Blood
Imagine the surprise on North American gamers' faces when they fired up The Witcher Enhanced Edition on their PC for the first time this week and started gleefully dismembering foes only to realize something was dreadfully, horribly - even heinously - wrong.
For all of its additional quests and other improvements, the North American version of the game's enhanced re-release lacks one vital ingredient: blood and gore. Such things are requisite in a game constructed heavily on a foundation of violence, fantasy creatures, and - lest we forget - excessive amounts of extremely hetero fornication with all manner of maidens.
Speaking to Shacknews today, developer CD Projekt's marketing VP Tom Ohle said they're working on a patch to fix the problem. There will be blood ASAP, and Ohle said they "Spent a year making the game perfect and someone forgot to include one file that turns blood on." To be fair, the game does include some blood, he said, but only in the most minimal amounts.
The lack of blood has apparently been a shock to players systems. "It looks ridiculous, when I'm impaling an enemy and slitting his throat without a splatter of blood. It's really distracting," says one irritated NeoGaffer.
The blood shall surely again be spilt.
