the witcher 2 or darksiders 2 or any other games on origin worth buying?

so i have a 30$ giftcard to origin, and im browsing through the games and im not particularly wowwed by any game in particular. i did think darksiders looked really cool before it came out, but the gameplay look average i guess. ive heard witcher 2 is great, so i was going to get that. any input from you guys? origin doesnt have the greatest selection of games tbh.

games i do like for reference are typically rpgs or shooters(already have bf3), oblivion and skyrim are some of my favorite games ever so that might help for suggestions? i would also prefer a game that is pretty good graphically, or has good HD addons. witcher 2 is pretty taxing game isnt it?

I've heard amazing things about The Witcher 2, and it is supposed to have really great graphics.
Darksiders 2 is also a cool game, but very different than The Wither 2 or Skyrim. It probably closest resembles the Legend of Zelda games in a lot of ways.

If you like Oblivion and Skyrim, and want a game that has good graphics then I would suggest getting The Witcher 2.

I have not played Darksiders 2, I did play the first game. In my opinion the Witcher 2 is a lot better.

The Witcher 2 is amazing, get it. I honestly can't think of a better game to buy. Especially if you like rpg's.

Edit: Yes, Witcher is a taxing game on most systems, especially in the first scene. You can ramp it up once you get out of the forest area.

honestly both games are pretty good, i'd get both. If you dont already have dragon age origins and dragon age 2, or mass effect 2 and 3. I'd get those before either of the other options.

As previously stated, Witcher 2. Its an amazing game with a lot of good characters and storytelling. Its a much darker fantasy world, and Geralt is an excellent protagonist. Also, boobs. =)

I haven't played Darksiders 2 yet. Its still on my list, but I loved the first one. I hear the 2nd is even better. The storyline and setting are very interesting, and I found the puzzles in the first one to be fun and challenging. It was an IP I was really hoping had a sequel. The only downside is that I really liked War's character, so I'm not sure how much I will care for Death.
