Only tangentially related to the article, but that map in the header image is absolutely revolting. I’ve stopped playing ubisoft games for a great variety of reasons, but one of them is definitely the absolute mundanity of their 500 worthless collectables shotgunned across the map.

That doesn’t look like the wolf medallion, and the subtag is “a new saga begins”, so either its a pregeralt prequel featuring a witcher from another school, or a post geralt witcher resurgence featuring a witcher from another school.

They’ve still got at least one expansion along the way for you to enjoy, so while it’ll take a while regardless (ask bethesda fans how they’re holding up between TES releases...) at least its not the end of it.

What? The nation that brought us visual novels and bullet hells (both largely PC-centric in origin) is far from console only. Consoles are definitely far more popular, but the same could have been said in the west prior to 5-10 years ago.

This is mostly a problem with japanese games. Either they’re just backwards and don’t understand that people want to quit the game when they select quit game, or its an ego/presentation thing where they insist you see the title screen, as if to say “This fun play session you just had was brought to you by: [company +…

For stones, go get the bell bearings. Search “miner” on this page’s filter:

RIP Bozos, guess its time to embrace godhood and kill all of your enemies while dodge rolling and parrying with a greatsword.

The funny part is there are so many golden seeds and sacred tears in the world you actually didn’t even need to, as you cap out at a point and there are more than you need so that you don’t have to 100% the game.

Glad the community bitching paid off and they added in much of the shit we assumed was cut content (based on datamines) that we’d have to wait for paid dlc to experience, like literally half of a questline and npc endcaps.

Jeremy I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but your youtube link includes a timestamp for 1/4th of the way into the run.

Not to mention even if they didn’t show the name, they do also show an icon on your compass that explicitly tells you as invader where the host of fingers is.

The way to not get invaded is dead simple: don’t summon PC allies to do 80% of the fight for you. If you do, you’ll be forced to deal with the occasional invader, who will have to go 3v1 against you and your summons.

The wild thing is this wasn’t even a flawless run. He wipes on the godskin duo, which he didn’t do during his 37:15 run. If he’d flawless’d that one, he probably would have come in under 36.

But how in the hell does any of this work in reality? If abortion is banned in your state and you know you can get sued if you go to Illinois, you’re not going to broadcast what you’re doing. How the hell is the state going to prove anything?!

Can they give the assassin an additional walk animation that isn’t metronome hips as well? Fell out of my chair laughing during the prologue when my character “urgently” walked over to help somebody while speed-thrusting as hard as she could.

Considering the rest of the guns appear to either be energy based or similar concept to mass effect’s weapons (sheer off a splinter from a block and hyper accelerate it, permitting thousands of shots before replacement is required) I’d assume loading it involves breach loading the P90ish magazine next to it in some…

Why not? They patched the witcher games for years while still providing free dlc and the expansions eventually.

All of the base infiltration missions could easily be spun into something similar to a splinter cell multiplayer mode, mercs vs spies style.

The expansions aren’t ready and they had to bump everything back a few times in order to address complaints about the base game. Why would they say or promise anything having already gone through this and getting dragged not just by whiny gamers but also the gaming media the whole way?

CDPR, pre release: We’ll have big expansion dlc later on!
