Iām thinking about going with a GTX 560 (possibly a 560 Ti) when I build a new computer this year. Iāve never really had a decent graphics card. But then Iāve been all about console gaming until recently. Iām using a Mobility Radeon 4670 that came stock with my laptopā¦Iām just glad Skyrim was playable for me at all. I had go down to medium settings without any AA.
Summerās coming. I usually buy a game to play. Skyrim or Witcher 2ā¦?
Oh Godā¦ I really want to buy the Witcher 2 but iām broke.
Iāve only played Skyrim, the hell out of it too, but from what I hear Witcher 2 is an excellent game as well. Sounds like Skyrim gives you a more open world with more freedom and tons of things to do whereas Witcher 2 gives you a tighter story and more tailored quests. Theyāre probably both awesome RPGs. Go with your first instinct, Iād say. Whatever appealed to you first.
Exactely
Yep

Probably Witcher then, I played elder scrolls oblivion with the expansion packs and found it just too damn big, I ended up getting kinda lost and bored. I like my fun to have some direction.
So whatād you get?
Nothing yet. Damn Witcher wonāt run on my system - GeForce 9500 aint up to the job apparently. Skyrim will work fine, but damnit, my conscience is twitching. If I buy the damn thing I know Iāll get addicted and start routinely ignoring the kids, staying up until 4am every morning and being a bitch all day every day because of lack of sleep. I also want to write some childrenās books and a text book for teaching over the summer, which will probably give me a touch of RSI, but for a good cause, rather than killing goblins, or whatever is the monster of the day in Skyrim.
I wish I was at Uni again.
Meh, just ration it out.
Yeah, cos Iāve managed doing that so well with my nictotine addiction. 
Iāve done ābetterā with my gaming, I used to rushe through it as fast a possible mainly just because I would play it every chance I could (probably stemmed from the fact that I rented a lot of games and got in the habit of needing to beat them within 5 days).
Now I just play the games i really like every day still, just not as longā¦Still need to get the Witcher 2 though arrgghā¦
Okay, Steamās downloading skyrim as I type.
ā¦And as predicted Iām now completely addicted. Back when Iāve finished the game. (Sorry Pav, debate on hold. 
)
Itās funny because i tried to play again for the first timte today and I was uninterested within 30 minutes, i guess simply because i played it so much when it first released.
Side with the Empire!
Fun, isnāt it 
I racked up a lot of hours because Iām a bit of a completionist and when I first got to Whiterun I decided to do every quest available from the NPCs there, except the main quest which I decided to put off until last. And I proceeded in that way for each subsequent city, focusing just that city and all the minor quests connected to it. Markarth definitely has the best house.
Itās cool, the last few days have been busier than usual, on a personal level.
I finally played a bit of the Witcher 2 itās very good but itās also extremely difficult.
Loved the game so much I made a video.
