Where's the Hannibal post so I can riot?

It certainly affects sales, but it's more complicated than "doesn't/does". PC games 100% don't release for retail price. It's very common for $60 PC games to be half off before the even come out. It's expected by the PC community to not pay full price (Steam culture). That said, people still do pre-order and buy on…

White Orchard is the tutorial. Velen/Novigrad is the next area, and there's Skellegie after that. Velen/Novigrad is enormous, probably around 50 hours of content, and Skellegie is even bigger. I'm taking my time in Velen/Novigrad and it's just wonderful. Definitely don't judge the game by White Orchard. Judge it after…

In the lore, witchers are bred/mutated to have suppressed emotions, and I believe Geralt goes even further, trying to remain calm and meditating so he can make neutral decisions as often as possible. However, there are moments where he genuinely loses it and they are all the scarier/more powerful as a result.

I highly recommend it. I never played the other 2 in the series but I had to give this one a shot after I heard everything about it and I can safely say that it's one of the best games I've ever played, certainly the best game since GTA V came out.

Ah you might be right. I haven't played either since they were released. I just remember being frustrated by how unbalanced the game seemed. I would get killed by a crab then a few levels later I was killing like 30 guys with one spell. WItcher 3 feels much more even and brutal in its combat.

There are witches but witchers don't typically fight them. Witchers are monster hunters and people hire them to take care of problems with monsters. For instance, in one quest a garrison of soldiers hires you to kill a griffin that's picking off their men.

The game really captures the monster hunter feeling in a great, realistic way. Geralt is a pretty powerful guy (mutated human with some magic) but he's no Dovakin or ultra-powerful superman. If you aren't careful you can easily be killed by a group of bandits or drowners if they manage to surround you. I made the…

The game doesn't scale like Skyrim does. So while a pack of wolves can fuck your day up at the beginning of the game, eventually you'll cut through them like cake. This also means you can venture off the beaten path and find yourself being thrown off a cliff by a level 30 dragon. Personally, I love this system and…

I felt the same way, but the game won me over. It's thrilling to fight a monster and not feel like the most overpowered superhuman ever. I was 5 minutes into fighting that werewolf, gradually chipping it's health away, and then the fucker started regenerating. I ended up dying and had to go and do research in how to…

I weep for a world where CD Project Red made the Game of Thrones game. Can you imagine this level of worldbuilding in Westeros?

I laughed out loud when I did that quest to purify the monster and it still looked like a fucking abomination, just glowing white now. Like, I wouldn't feel much safer with that thing around to be honest.

You can give him different hair cuts and he can get a beard with the free DLC from the first week. But I agree, he looks quite romance-covery. The amazing writing of his character does a lot to make me forget that though.

Well it's never explicitly stated in the books, but the hint is that Azor Ahai stopped it, and he's supposedly a three-headed dragon or some shit.

Well, the last time the Long Night happened, dragons stopped it. Too bad a bunch of political bullshit is keeping them in Essos.

theredpill is that way———->

What, are you his stalker now?

It's never too late for book reader outrage. The well that hate for D&D springs from could power the sun for a thousand years.

Those two scenes weren't great (although the dialogue in them was a step up from previous scenes this season) but every Jonathan Pryce scene was a treasure.
