I kept the difficulty up because if you're avoiding monster nests and other open world stuff there really isn't that much fighting to get through (relative to the overall length) and the bosses and hunts are pretty fun so I liked them living longer. Never felt that tedious to me and I enjoyed going full green spec, doing a little prep, and having that prep actually be worthwhile.

The real Witcher 3 combat was Gwent

Were the separate Gwent games any good? I've always been curious but haven't taken the plunge.

Nancy posted:Were the separate Gwent games any good? I've always been curious but haven't taken the plunge. There were two single player games, Thronebreaker and Witcher Tales: something or other. Thronebreaker has wonderful writing and out of card game art but the gameplay is the same bad post-beta gwent gameplay and the combat scenario design is 80% of the time horrible. I still "liked" it overall because single player CCG is my favorite genre and the writing/characters were so good but the gameplay is basically bad. The second game was a roguelike and it's like the first game without writing or any of the good parts (or so I've heard I never played it). So my personal advice would be to skip the multiplayer game unless the rumored chinese resurrection of the OG beta game happens. Play Thronebreaker if you're willing to deal with really boring gameplay for more than half of the game.

Tiny Timbs posted:You only had to do water stuff to get the dumb treasure chests I think You had to use the boats a bunch regardless because Skellige is an island. Which I guess you could mitigate if you used fast travel but it still feels like a weak part of the game.

Jack Trades posted:Witcher 3 was so loving good people were playing previous games in the series and reading books for the first time because of it. I'm not saying the Hogwart's game is going to be great or anything like that. Maybe it will be good or maybe poo poo, that doesn't matter at all. What I am saying is that Witcher 3 and Skyrim attracted a lot of people that hadn't really played too many games or none at all before. Because of all the things i said, because story, characters, etc... You or others may not like it or find everything about Rowling offensive, as it should be, but there is no denying that Harry Potter has probably more followers than the Witcher and Elder Scrolls series combined. Thinking that the game is not going to be one of the best sellers of this year is silly.

There are maps you can buy in Skellige that open up a lot of the fast travel points. I didn't even know they existed before my latest playthrough. Makes getting around a lot easier. https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lonesome_World_Guide_to_Ard_Skellig

Eh standalone MP Gwent really hit its stride after the 6 month rework, they'd basically designed themselves into a corner with the beta and the way the systems worked led to some really degenerate gameplay like dagon weather decks. Post-Homecoming was pretty varied though I haven't played in like half a year.

The dice game in Cult of the Lamb is kinda sorta not really like Gwent. It’s good in any case.

Honestly if the radiant quests were better I would have stuck with it for another 10+ hours doing all of the extra and side missions easy peasy, also if I hadn't been told by someone you can't actually make The Hiss go away forever, because I felt motivated as well to protect that place.

im glad Control added the customizable difficulty options. I never used them but a lot of ppl clearly did not enjoy the default difficulty and im glad they got to make the game more fun for themselves Very excited for Control 2. Have they said anything about it yet? Is it supposed to come out this year?

Remedy is working on Alan Wake 2 before Control and that's still supposed to release this year. There's also some separate MP project that's being developed concurrently but I know next to nothing about that.

Also I got spoiled, because someone here(?) told me that Launch was insanely OP compared to guns so I maxxed out launch before anything else and...yeah. Launch is insane, poo poo only got hard at the DLC, where they went "you know what, throwing a boulder at someone DOESNT kill them instantly, gently caress you". I also had a bit of trouble with the final boss before I figured out you can interrupt his move that turns all of the lights off with the triple-launch.

I don't think it's supposed to be a surprise that Launch is the best ability in Control. It's like, The Thing you do the most.

Same, the setting really made it for me. I really liked the mix of mundane-ish deserted office space and pushing into different unknown areas. There's parts that I felt worked more than others, but the game felt really generous in giving the player a variety of spaces to explore and toys to play with and personally I don't think many games do that. It's one of the few I've been compelled to try and 100% and I enjoyed all the time I spent with it. Standouts for me were pushing into weirdo super hostile fungus areas, weird liminal areas like the concrete bridge chasm, and chasing down escaped psychic artifacts, even if things like the twisty TV gave me pretty severe vertigo

Couple of Dusk questions: - Do secret walls always have some kind of tell, or is this a "check every surface in every level" situation? - Any tricks for checking for secrets faster, like holding E while running instead of tapping it, etc?

Nancy posted:I think what people like about the Arkham combat is that it's sort of a rhythm builder. I just liked the "flow" of it I guess? But I'm not amazing at video games so there was a good amount of challenge at keeping the punches and dodges flowing. Witcher 3 is similar to me but the implementation is a little looser and adds in direction playing a role in how and when your strikes connect; this may be what you ran into when it felt random to you. I like describing it as having a "flow" to the combat, when I play those games my goal in combat is to keep the flow going and rack up that combo counter, or at least not get hit, and it visually looks good while you do it; I think spiderman did a good job mimicking it while giving it's own style, in Arkham most of the time can just stay still and as long as you press counter at the right time youll be fine, in spiderman you wont, you need to keep mobile and swing around (like spiderman would) It's one of the things I miss in modern Assassins Creed, combat in Black Flag had a good flow to it, and it could be way too easy, but fighting a big groups of guy without getting hit, grabbing body shields when they shoot at you, could be hard and it was fun when you did everything right.

As the person who originally made the comment about the association in this thread, I think it goes a bit deeper than that. Considering her name is on the tip of anyone's tongue in answer to the question, "Who is the most harmful transphobic celebrity icon in the world?". She is responsible for a lot of pain, suffering and death in this world, and not just to those that surround her. But feel free to keep downplaying it like we shouldn't ever give a poo poo what creators are doing when they're not creating. gently caress Rowling and anything she's associated with.
