Andrew?

Who gives a fuck. Lots of examples of great books with retarded authors. See A song of ice and fire

Does CDProjekt own the video game rights to the Witcher in perpetuity or will they have to renegotiate at some point?

If they have to renegotiate I believe the price has gone up.

Who, the author? That guy is crusty AS FUCK about anything that isn't the Witcher novels because he signed away his ability to cash in royalties from anything that ISN'T HIS BOOKS. So he shits on the video games and the tv show that the Poles made out of it since he's not getting any money from them.

Sapkowski is so old he believes games are witchcraft

Just pirate the books then.
Unless you like reading things physical like me then pirating books is easier than anything.

Already did that. I'm not OP
Fun thing is back in 90s I knew about Wticher book series, but wasn't interested enough to buy it. After playing W3 like 300hrs I finally became a fan and pirated shit. Books were good, but not outstanding since Geralt not using signs or potions during Ciri saga. He started that in last book which is a prequel and was out in 2013.. after W2, you know
KEK

Yeah it feels like he forgot half the shit he established in the first couple of books.
Still a pretty entertaining fantasy series.

He would gladly spend 50% of CDPR's next game budget on McDonalds. He also thinks he deserves it.

No doubts, the setting and that world he created are like 10/10

isn't he assblasted at CDPR's games because he made a shitty deal when selling the rights of the books to them?

he is right

the first game really only made profit in Eastern Europe and nobody here would've bought it if the books weren't well known already at the time

>three passages out of context
kek

>Where's the room for depth or sophisticated language with which games could elevate culture? There's none.

He's right you know

He sounds a lot worse when you read translation on a game website. when you you see him speak it's just some old guy who doesn't get it telling other people to fuck off for him not getting it. also kinda arrogant but who fucking cares what his opinion is.

the guy is wrong, the movies and television series, the comicbooks made his very slim books slightly famous.

the video games made his books very famous, so much that the polish president gave Obama a copy.

I bet this faggot doesn't even play Gwent

I want witcher porn

I wonder if Japan made any doujins

If it was up to that faggot, the series would be called "The Hexer" that alone proves he had nothing to do with western sales, since no one knows of "Geralt the Hexer."

The good news is he will not be alone.

Is Ciri the daughter of Geralt? Kinda looks the same. Never played the series

Considering he's doing books equivalent of teen thrillers and still didn't manage to copy everything fro-. I'm sorry, I mean take influence :), he sure acts like he's a big shot. Not to mention he's basically from a thirld world country

Playing devils advocate the original studio that wanted to make the games sat on it and didn't do shit for years. That being said has a hack writer. CDPR wanted his insight and tried to pay him but he told them to fuck off.

No, and their hair colour is part coincidence, part shitty writing, Geralt's turned white after his super saiyan mutation powers awakened.

>play Witcher 1
>rhythmic combat is something new for me but get used to it quickly
>have to pay close attention to alchemy if you don't want to fuck yourself
>have to pay close attention to journal
>game is hard and punishes fuckups
>ending blows my fucking mind
>kinda feel bad for pirating it

>install Witcher 2
>console controls
>climbing ladders/rocks is the same key you use for fighting
>spend most of my time stabbing ladders instead of climbing them
>alchemy is dumbed the fuck down
>Geralt is senile and has to carry 1000 pieces of paper to remember the 3 ingredients that go into a fucking potion
>quick time events
>random crashes
>craftsmen will gladly use quest objects to craft items fucking your game progression in the ass
>the stealthy "lean against the wall" parts are bugged into oblivion, can't even turn corners, Geralt just keeps leaning against non-existent walls
>instead of 6 there is now only one fighting style
>mash buttons to win: the game
>roll around like a retard, we wanted the Dark Souls audience
>can meditate anywhere
>only highlight is the fact I can import saves from W1 and walk around in Raven's armor at the beginnning

I'm glad I didn't pay money for this polish piece of filth. Please tell me the third one is at least a bit better.

why is what he said always blown out of proportion?
the guy isn't really a fan of video games but isn't saying no one is allowed to have fun with them.
there are plenty of decent interviews/articles with him where you can read that shit up instead of listening to some cockgobbling youtube shits that want dem views.

are you new on Sup Forums ? they love to jump into every bandwagon

Based Sapkowski, putting nu-males in their place

I've read a part of the books and they're kinda meh. Game has better fleshed out characters and story.

Fuck I bought the books, now that Sup Forums say they are shit I feel scammed

They're alright, just read and sell if you dont like them.

Daily reminder that Sapkowski is a hack that stole his ideas from better authors. And stole wholesale from Moorcock especially.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WHITE WOLF YOU POLACK SHIT

The books are pretty cool if read while playing. I couldn't find the last 2 tho. Andrei is just butthurt he underestimated CDPR and sold the rights cheap

J.R Tolkien hated America and we are his biggest market lol

>great book

>game is hard and punishes fuckups
Like shit it was.
It was just one long steam roll from start to finish.
There isn't anything challenging about click pause, click pause click. Hell if you liked that you should like the third and second combat because it's the same fucking shit with no icon.
