All they've been talking about for weeks is the next Zelda and hoping it was some dark extreme adventure or whatever. They kept freaking the hell out everytime someone in the witcher was naked or cursed. I'm like grow up you're in your 30's unmarried, and none of you have kids. I don't think most of them made it past the prologue because it was hard.

Alright, Taint Reaper everyone makes fun of you for having bad opinions on videogames and I think it's a little harsh, but if you ever in your dumb peon brain think that the Witcher 2 is a good game again I swear to god i will strike you down with the power of good games and gaming integrity and render you into nothing. The Witcher 2 is the worst loving RPG I've ever played, you play as a bland, gravelly voiced old man or something who gets laid like, all the time to prove he's cool I guess? And all the gameplay is stupid, old poo poo that I would expect from a game that's decades old, like Gothic or something. The combat also blows an entire loving strongroom of dicks with it's bland repetitive bullshit gameplay. Also nevermind gently caress it this is already too many words about this piece of poo poo game and if you like The Witcher 2 then I really think you're a loving moron, real talk. Peace.

looking back on this past it's really harsh and I apologize but I just get so darn mad when people perpetuate the myth that the witcher series is good.

I've played it like TW2 like 6 times through to completion I laughed years ago when SA went nuts for Mass Effect 2 and people played it multiple times back to back but deep down I know I'm just as bad as them surc posted:I never beat either witcher entirely because frankly, gently caress potions. you're one of those guys that experiences physical pain every time they use a potion in an RPG because you "might need it more later" aren't you?

No it was this: "Oh hey ok I'm gonna go into battle, let me just sit here and drink this potion, and this potion, and this potion. Ok, now the next time I'm in this place I better take 15 minutes and brew up some more potions! Wait... did I brew up the optimum potion combination? Hmmmmmm.... Wasn't there an actual game in this somewhere?"

that didn't bother me but I'm pretty much immune to tedious poo poo in games. there's a reason I have a Morrowind username Even I don't think I could go back and play TW1 again though, even though I enjoyed it at the time mostly

i never really used potions that much in 1 or 2, and it wasn't a big problem for me. in 2 i was playing on dark mode as well

zen death robot posted:The potions were pretty loving annoying, that said I hope they fix that. I get the feeling it was done to make a fairly short game feel longer just by making it difficult to figure out sometimes. The Witcher 3 should be able to do away with that poo poo since you're not just walking down a few paths any longer. apparently TW3 has some weird system where you have potion slots that are almost like an inventory thing where you just drop potions and then wait to actually activate them until you feel like it, which you can do anytime, including combat and TW2 is pretty average sized for an RPG even if you don't count the other 30-40% of content you miss by not playing both main paths. it's not loving huge like TW1 though yeah

in the books he actually has to meditate and poo poo while drinking them to get the right effect with his hosed up organs. they just did it because of the lore of course in the books the silver sword was only for really special monsters and he didn't keep it personally on him at all times, and they changed that for convenience's sake. but anyway apparently in TW3 you can basically just drink like 3 potions instantly so they must have gotten a ton of negative feedback about that.

|
# ? Sep 8, 2014 15:48 |

yeah and also potions lasted for ages in TW1. Like a minimum of a real world half hour. I don't know why they made it so much shorter in TW2 Although getting stuck in bullet time for twenty minutes after a fight was over because you drank Blizzard in TW1 was pretty lame
|
# ? Sep 8, 2014 15:49 |
|
i liked how more potions had tradeoffs in tw2 as opposed to just being flat bonuses but not being able to drink them on the fly in a game with no active source of healing is pretty dumb
|
# ? Sep 8, 2014 16:06 |
|
Yeah it might have been overkill trying to compensate for how whenever you were in trouble in TW1 you could just down a Swallow or White Rafford's Decoction and be fine. They nerfed those in a lot of ways really. On higher difficulties of TW2 the health boosting ones were only worth it for pretty specific situations. I found it was generally better to do stuff that boosted your damage and just kill things faster so you got hit less
|
# ? Sep 8, 2014 16:16 |
|
yes and no, at first thats true but if you drop 2 points into that boost-your-potion-poo poo skill you quickly end up with poo poo like a potion that doubles your hp for the price of -4% damage white raffard's was cool in tw1 because it was a huge toxicity spike so you could only do that so many times before it would be a problem

toxicity was kind of hosed in TW2. the one time I did an alchemy build I made the mistake of taking that skill that lets you use a fourth potion, and absolutely never got to use it because the toxicity would always be too high to accomodate it. basically give me TW2's combat with TW1's potions (modified a bit to clean out the obvious "this is our first ever game" crap like Blizzard and Cat) and I'll be happy replaying it forever
|
# ? Sep 8, 2014 16:27 |
|
pretty much. if you actually want to use 4 potions you have to go out of your way to come up with 4 low-toxicity ones and when all is said and done youd be better off drinking one of the better high-toxicity ones anyway

overall I thought the sword tree was the most fun but the magic tree had the best adrenaline move (heliotrope). and alchemy was for if you knew what to do and wanted to absolutely break the endgame
