I watched rediscover stream it for a few minutes last week (I have the game but need to upgrade my GPU for the proper experience) and while the game looks good, it also sounds great. Idk what magical forces are used to manage sound and music so well but they did a really good job

i was even running on Low settings at the time too.

As mediocre as the new Battlefront is, it's a seriously amazing looking game

I think the most technically impressive looking game to me is SMB3, because you look at what else came out on NES and it's like, drat.

Here's how you can tell witcher 3 owns

When geralt pulls out his weapons he tugs on his sheathes to make the motion smooth

Is this game hard or am i really bad? I cant parry at all. I cant get the timing down

It's definitely pretty hard at the beginning but if you do all the side quests and stuff you'll eventually be strong enough not to worry too much about most fights. But yeah at the beginning and then in the expansions you can definitely get hosed up if you're not real careful each fight.

it's been a while since I played but I think the enemy you target flashes red or something before they attack and that's when u parry

Watch an hour of cutscenes and dialogue about your epic quest and then get immediately killed by a stray dog. That is the essential RPG experience right there.

You're talking about Witcher 1, right? That fight really made me doubt the game. No time for prep, indigo child just spouted off, and six murder dogs.

If you've played blood and wine, it's like an encore performance for all the worst Witcher 1 mobs, except now they're cool.

Yeah, parrying can be a bit annoying, unless you're just in a 1v1 or 1v2 situation, where it's more manageable. In the end I wound up dodging/sidestepping when fighting humans in most cases, or diving behind the enemy to attack, if they've got a shield or a halberd.

I agree - I really didn't like that Barghest encounter in W1, but in W3 they (and the other creatures from the old games that featured in B&W - especially in the area with that cursed lady with the spoon collection) were much more interesting to encounter.

I came upon some elves and they demanded I give them my weapons and they would let me speak to their leader. I said gently caress that and killed everyone in the camp :cheers:

I haven't played Blood and Wine yet as I'm apprehensive about the thought of no more adventures of Geralt after.

I really should get back to playing this. it was ducking awesome but halfway through a quest my game crashed and I was to scared to reopen the game cause what if I lost a bunch of progress but now it's been long enough that even if I had I'd be willing to do it again
