True, but I think the Geralt/Yen thing works especially with all the book story.

It's definitely the least bad romance in a game even if it's not exactly Before Sunrise or something

Idk cuz i haven't read any of the books and never will and I never played any of the earlier witcher games I just wanted her to gently caress off so I could go back to riding my horse and killing poo poo

I might give it a go since I have a shitload of currency left over, unlock everything and see if I can get any trophies before it's gone.

If you're really down for it, the new "everything is basically free" economy in the game now means you can effectively have permanent 5x EXP. In one long night's play time I got 2 characters to Lv. 60. It's pretty insane, the loot box system is busted wide open now because you can buy a 5x pack for 1 currency shard and you're guaranteed to get at least 1 big whack of 20 shards in one of those boxes so it just keeps rolling.

That's fair enough really and you p. Much tell her to gently caress off

Nothing is stopping other games from having already existing relationships

Of course not but one criticism from roleplaying fans is that as Geralt you're not creating your own character but taking the reins of a fully formed character who has already had an unnaturally long life's worth of relationships, romantic or otherwise.

If you're making the classic RPG where the player character crawls out of a hole at level 1 and you decide everything about who and what they are then nearly all relationships are going to be fresh or radically altered to the point that it may as well be fresh.

Ah, so The Witcher is actually a JRPG.

I mean, with all the romance being talked about it's basically Persona, really.

My biggest issue with Marvel Heroes is the amount of content kind of felt like a single act in comparison to a D3 or Path of Exile. So while it was fun trying out new heroes and their powers, there really wasn't much to do with them in the long run. They put in a prestige system with zero incentive to actually continue playing except to increase your prestige number.

The concept is solid in my opinion, Marvel characters are perfect for this sort of game. It's too bad Marvel Heroes was pretty poo poo though.

Hey, I have a question, how do PS4 cloud saves work?

I used to have a 500gb PS4 with save data for a PSN purchased copy of Horizon Zero Dawn, then I had to move and sell the PS4. I did however back up my entire PS4 to a hard drive.

I've now moved to a new place, and have access to another PS4 (slim). However, I didn't copy the backup information onto my current PS4, because I don't want to delete the data on it (because it belongs to someone else). So I simply logged back on my account and re-downloaded HZD. However, I no longer have my old save files, which were up to the end game. Is there any way to download my save from the cloud, or from my hard drive?

Press Options while having the game highlighted on the home screen and you can access the cloud save menu from there. If the save is there you can download it to your system. If not, it's gone.

It's probably my favorite section of the game. I feel it paces gameplay-to-story really well, even if it's maybe a bit more compact than the others. It basically never lets up intensity.

It sort of felt like they copied a bunch of systems from Diablo 3 without having the slightest clue why any of those systems were there. Like they technically kind of had adventure zones but a bunch of stuff was still locked until you'd finished the campaign.

I agree that the overall idea was great, and it's pretty fun to play (Deadpool's moped in particular seems designed for trolling in the social spaces, and nightcrawler is crazy fun) but there were just too many stupid mistakes with the endgame that make no sense.

My theory is that the prohibitively high unlock costs meant even whales couldn't drag in enough money, so rather than reduce the cost, the reputed-to-be-an-rear end in a top hat boss pulled the plug instead.

The one that causes nazis to explode when you dash into them is also a really good one. Bull charging into a charging super soldier is icing on the cake.

Sully is one of the best videogame characters ever. Nate not so much, voice acting is amazing but Sully reminds me of a mix of Indiana Jones with Burt Reynolds (30/70% of the mix).
