Such an amazing game. I’m not into RPGs but somehow got convinced to play this.
I don’t understand how I even had the energy to play 100+ hrs next to work. I often played until 2 am on weekdays, or woke up earlier to play.
I understand the complaints of the gameplay or controls, but the story and the characters are what makes this game special. It’s a journey I will never forget, some memories and feelings from it will stay with me forever
The controls I thought were really easy but I played on PC so I could swing the mouse around and I don’t need to looks at the keyboard to hit almost any key. So for me I thought it was real easy to control contrary to what I read online
Then I played on a console and then I understood the hate for Witcher 3 controls. I remember it feeling very heavy. Weird to control the camera and Geralt
I genuinely don’t understand, is this a new edition and if so, what’s added? Or is it just a trailer apropos nothing, CDPRs “not without my anus” of the gaming news cycle?
What I appreciated with the first Witcher is seeing the story from all sides and I dont recall it feeling black and white. Humans were shown as hating elves for their attacks, but then you get to the elves and learn their part of why they were attacking. The writing feels raw with hints of racism, vulgarism and the like. It felt right for the setting.
The Botching story line (the barron) in W3 was probably my favorite in that game and that was a side quest. I didnt feel the same momentum going forward in the main story of W3.
I’d argue that there’s plenty of that in 2 as well, and by 3 it’s more about taking things to their conclusions as all the characters we’ve built relationships with start bouncing off each other but fair enough.
I remember it being in W2 as well. Its just been so long since I’ve played either, I really cant articulate it well why I liked it so much. I just know I did but didn’t feel the same way about W3. In the end, I loved each of the games because they all had their own thing going for them. I don’t have a favorite.
I know exactly what you mean. I started it 3 times before I got into it
In my opinion, a lot of the gameplay is fairly generic. Attacking a wraith feels the same as attacking a human
It really shines in the immersion and story, though. The first two times I played it, I was skipping all of the dialog and cutscenes (depression is a bitch), so I missed all the good parts
Once you get into the mindset of “hunting” one of the monsters and selecting the right oils and potions, it can be really fun and feel almost like “strategy”. For example, there’s a potion that turns your blood poisonous to vampires
I played through it once and really liked it but didn’t see myself going back because of the generic gameplay. Apparently, the hardest difficulty forces you to use all of your oils and potions depending on the monster/situation. I think that might solve the gameplay problem since that was pretty much optional in easier difficulties. Not to mention make it a lot more immersive since you have to strategize like the witcher
That’s good for you a lot of people still enjoyed it. I’m just saying if I ever do play it I’m going to Pirate it cuz they don’t deserve my money or anyone’s
Why’s that? I enjoyed cyberpunk. I mean, of course it was released with a fuck ton of problems, but that’s not on the studio, it’s on the money people behind the studio forcing them to release and start making their money back.
I haven’t but that’s what I’ve heard from reviews. I’ve watched gameplay and long playthrough for the game on YouTube and it seems good… Now after all this time, with the extra money spent on the DLC. Which is why if I ever do play it I’m going to Pirate it because they don’t deserve my money. They should honestly go out of business
Sorry I just don’t support companies that release broken mess on release. If I ever play the game then I’m pirating it because they don’t deserve any money

How much longer they are milking the Witcher? It should be dry by now, right?
Are they doing some release or something? Or is this just a special commemorative video?

Have you read the books? Half the fun is spotting all the divergent plots

It’s a trailer celebrating the 10th anniversary of the game.
That’s what got me confused - why call it a trailer if there’s nothing new? Not even a UE5 remaster, those are all the rage now.

Mate, that’s from 2022. I’ve scanned through it and it seems completely unhelpful.
Yeah, make me read through an investor-oriented powerpoint from three years ago once, shame on you.

I really had trouble getting in to that game. May try it again but it seemed a bit too… generic?
You could try The Witcher 1. Gameplay there is…unique. A little dated today but IMO has the best writing of the three.
I feel like you could only think that if you’re more interested in learning the setting than seeing the characters interact.

Wait so you can let yourself be bitten in order to slay the vampire ? I played it in 2018 but never really did the oils and stuff
Yeah! Although, it’s more of a preventative measure than a trap card. A lot of the oils are pretty boring, but some can be fun to use
I ended up almost exclusively doing the Witcher missions since you usually learn what you’re going to fight
I really enjoyed that the setting is more grounded than other games. Personally, I wouldn’t describe it as generic.
Gameplay-wise it doesn’t do much interesting.

After cyberpunk CD project red can go fuck themselves
I’m playing it for the first time at the mo, seems great to me.
That’s good for you a lot of people still enjoyed it. I’m just saying if I ever do play it I’m going to Pirate it cuz they don’t deserve my money or anyone’s
Why’s that? I enjoyed cyberpunk. I mean, of course it was released with a fuck ton of problems, but that’s not on the studio, it’s on the money people behind the studio forcing them to release and start making their money back.
It should’ve never released the way it was and the fact the released DLC for that broken mess is disgusting greed on their part
They released DLC for it after fixing and overhauling the game.
Mostly fixed the game didn’t feel complete without the DLC
Now you’re just making it clear you’ve never actually played the game. It’s very complete without the DLC even with multiple endings.
I haven’t but that’s what I’ve heard from reviews. I’ve watched gameplay and long playthrough for the game on YouTube and it seems good… Now after all this time, with the extra money spent on the DLC. Which is why if I ever do play it I’m going to Pirate it because they don’t deserve my money. They should honestly go out of business
Then stop commenting like you know what you’re talking about?
lol oh okay so you just have no idea what you’re talking about.
