I finally finished The Witcher 3's main story and wooooooow

I can't imagine a more perfect ending than the one I got, although it probably wasn't the "best." I love how neatly everything was tied up, even a few details from 60 hours or so beforehand that I had completely forgotten about.

witcher devs are good

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2015/10/24/microsoft-no-longer-cares-to-tell-us-how-many-xbox-ones-its-sold/

Microsoft just announced the results for the first quarter of the fiscal year, and one particular statistic was plainly missing, how many Xbox Ones were shipped or sold during the time period.

It’s been standard practice for Microsoft to give out those numbers every quarter, but this time around, we only got a note that hardware revenue is down year over year because of declining Xbox 360 sales, and that Xbox Live usership is up 28 percent to 39 million. That includes anyone who has logged in over the past month, and does not separate out Gold and Silver members.

When pressed further about why exactly the console stats are hidden, Microsoft revealed that going forward, consoles shipped will no longer be a “primary metric for success” from now on, with the company instead using high-margin Xbox Live usership as its primary stat.

I just watched one of the alternate endings on Youtube and I can't even imagine how the player made it happen. It makes me realize I completely misjudged some of the main characters and their motivations. For example, I guess I WASN'T doing Ciri a favor by not taking her to see the emperor?

not really. now my abiens starting to kicj in right now so let me go ahead and try to do this

so i go in knowing what i ave to do: get air superiority with my fighters, so that the allied AI-controlled ground attack aircraft can destroy belarus' runways. i set up an area by just dragging out a box, and then i create a misison for that area.

for the mission, i assign fighters to it. so now i've given by fighters something to do (the mission - patrol and attack hostile aircraft) and where to do it (the red area i created)

the rest is more or less just syncing up with the AI ally's timetable, and watching the chaos unfold

it gives you information about what the other factions are thinking and how they'll react to certain things kind of like civ4 and unlike civ5 where it was kind of a black hole and they'd randomly get mad at you for whatever reason. also the new agreement system is kind of cool but is super micromanagy in the beginning if you want to actually use it. i think the way they designed it is that if you have lots of active deals they end up supporting each other but if you only have 1 or 2 they wont be sustainable for long.

theres also some broken poo poo like on lush maps you can cap this marvel really fast and it gives all ur units leash ability so you can leash that worm that shows up real early and destroy everything.

i heard the worst bit about diplomacy was that you couldn't adjust the terms of the negotiation yourself, it's all done automatically. for example you might be brokering for peace and be demanding an enemy city but be unable to remove that city from the bargaining. did they fix that because that's really loving stupid that the player has no control other than Do A Diplomacy?

nah it'll take way loving longer than 2-3 hours to beat. the problem is that you will have seen everything the game has to offer within half an hour so nobody except the most dedicated spergs will actually beat it
