I think their point is mainly that they gameplay mechanic doesn’t really involve death every time and it doesn’t mean you necessarily have to start the game over from the beginning if something goes wrong. Like save scumming so that you can try a conversation over and over again until you get the outcome you want…

No, saving is for people that don’t have time to replay a section of a game for four hours because they accidentally <fell into a ravine/tripped into a room full of explosives/some other catastrophe>.

But that would require drinking the office coffee... Ew.

As much as I like creating my own character, I found Witcher to be a breath of fresh air in that you have an actual established character rather than a cardboard box with holes cut through for your sword hand. He has a sense of humor, his own personality, etc. and still gives you plenty of room play the character as…

I’ve only really spent time hunting school-centered Witcher gear, but I found them to be very much worth my time, at least once I hit the higher stuff like the cat school gear and the wolf school gear. The viper gear was way too expensive and difficult to get for the level it was given.

I am pretty sure at some point they added the ability to roll a lvl 30 character to run the DLC stories, with appropriate equipment and skills.

Oh man... I usually hate in-game card games and such, so I avoided even looking at gwent for a while... then I ended up playing a game at one point and I was hooked.

Isn’t it a bit redundant to refer to Chop in the poop app as “virtual”?

Oh I agree about online multiplayer, I just think there’s room for a local option too, so long as it makes sense to allow it.

Not to mention the huge visual eyesore: giant ads all over the place in dozens of clashing colors. Then there are the ones that just plain get in the way; pop-up ads are dead, fortunately, but then there are the ones that draw over web content with obnoxious overlays - even better when they break and you can’t dismiss…

Yeah I totally agree. Maybe it’s the total lack of local multi-player games now? Remember when we used to be able to play with people that were in the same room without having to have a second console? Maybe it’s just a matter of younger people just not knowing what it’s like to be able to do that. I don’t know... get…

Come now, did anyone actually believe it would be released? At this point, I’ve seen more evidence of bigfoot being real.

Yeah I feel the same. I remember when the PS3 came out, they were promising 1080p resolution, it’s HD blah blah. Reality was that there were no real 1080 games on it (No idea about the 360 as I never had one), they were all upscaled and who knows if they ever hit 60fps even then. Then again, I’m not convinced that I’d…

Really doesn’t make sense to buy the XBOne S considering it’s being replaced next year, if you ask me. (and yes, I know no one did.)

This reminds of the time I first played Metal Gear Solid 2, and how awesome it was when the enemies reacted not only to being shot, but where they were shot. Totally blew me away at the time, and more games need that kind of feedback.

Ugh, this reminds of back in the day, when people were demanding First Person perspective for Little Big Planet so they could make FPS levels, because nothing is fun unless you can shoot at it, right? No way, some games need peripheral vision (i.e. a third person perspective) to play. In Witcher 3, for example,…

I, for one, will never play Overwatch because I can’t stand multiplayer games... However, I can certainly see why he mentions it here, as it’s a good touchpoint for character design that many people can understand.

I still think that people have no idea what freedom of speech means. Youtube is not a government entity, and as such, they have a right to say what can and cannot be said on their website. If the government were to pass a law to force them to not “censor” things... it would actually be impinging on YouTube’s freedom…

Plex’s lack of support for commercial skipping and their abhorrent fast-forward/rewind interfaces make this hugely unappealing to me. I use it to stream my ripped movie collection (yes, legal!), but I’ll still to my older but far more awesome PVR software.

As a perfectionist... I have no idea what I’m supposed to be seeing in those pictures.
