Calling the combat system in Witcher 3 "bad" just seems laughable when Final Fantasy 15 claims to have a combat system.

I thought they were done with The Witcher (at least for now). Their next game is Cyberpunk 2077.

No-no; it's Cyberpunk, releasing in 2077. :eng101:

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

Witcher 3's combat is a endurance test to reach Whirlwind, the combat then changes completely and becomes amazingly fun.

That footage looks really sluggish to me, not helped by the woman's apparent need to jerk back and forth in combat. Something seems off about the animation.

Pretty much, yes. Also a general bit of advice to not watch Ghost in the Shell, because it's still not worth seeing at 99c.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.

Neddy Seagoon posted:

Yeah, there's still slowdown if you blow up a lot of poo poo all at once though and some weird lighting glitches mostly in town where poo poo looks like it's flickering. At least there was last time I checked, but that was like last fall.

Not a bad month. JC3 was on my radar back when it came out but with the reported performance issues I stayed away. I heard boost mode makes a pretty significant difference though.

Mirror's Edge: Catalyst y/n?

It's OK. There are plenty of races and other stuff to do, but I couldn't really get into it. The story is pretty boring and you run back and forth through the same areas over and over again. I think I preferred the smaller scale of the original. Note that I can't stand open world collectathons and haven't beaten an open world game since AC Brotherhood and GTAV. (Oh and Gravity Rush 2 now that I think about it).

I've tried my best to get into Horizon but I have similar problems with it. The only reason I fire it up now and again is to mess around with the photo mode. If Catalyst had a photo mode like GR2 and Horizon I might've stuck with it longer. Then again, that didn't save Infamous 3 from going in the bin.

tldr: Catalyst should be fun for a couple hours if you like the ME gameplay and don't mind the usual open world trappings. Just be aware you have to unlock skills you had at the start of the first game, such as rolling :psyduck:

The only AC game I ever played was the Brotherhood multiplayer (and I played that a lot), is that Freedom Cry game worth a look? I know it's one of the short ones and I'm kinda interested in the Caribbean setting.
