I played several hours of 3 last August and stopped when MGSV came out. I just got the first two books the other day and I'm going to read those before I get back into it.

I just read the first Witcher book, The Last Wish, which is basically a collection of short stories with a frame story around them. They were all pretty good, but looking back I find it funny that Geralt never actually kills any monsters in any of them

e: nvm I just remembered he does in one of them, but only after being helped

the witcher 3 is a great game if you love soap operas

It's only a strange and cretinous minority of Witcher 3 players that insists on playing the game like it's a Bioware RPG whose only meaningful choice is which peppy bisexual party member you bang. True connoisseurs of CD Projekt Red's oeuvre relish even the subtlest narrative flourishes of their magnum opus, such as the little-known side quest wherein its protagonist "Geralt" finds a note on the beach and must swim to a chest located a short distance from shore in order to retrieve the priceless treasure to which the note refers.

at launch there was an exploit where you could slaughter infinitely respawning cows in White Orchard for their hides and make infinite money. when they addressed it in a patch , the notes just said "Added Bovine Defense Force Initiative" and now a massive overleveled Chort shows up and murders you if you kill too many cows. Also in one of the expansions if you're holding too much money a tax collector shows up and accuses you of "engaging in illegal rawhide trade in the white orchard reigon" or something lol

I hope I can be an honorable enough gamer not to look. But temptation is strong

I'm near certain this is an ARG.

I saw someone was asking for a quick beginner's tip for this game, and I have some pretty good ones:

-Make SURE that you gather as many Ghoul Snouts as you can before completing the Black Knight's Challenge side quest- if you have less than thirty on your person, you'll be locked out of the quest's REAL ending
-If you find any letters, books, Lore material etc. DO NOT READ THEM! You'll get a silver achievement at the end of the game if you don't read anything
-When the QTE to kill your father at the end of the first act comes up, don't do it immediately, wait for him to finish speaking. Makes the scene a lot more emotional and tense
-When you get to the Aurora Valley region part way through act 2 you'll find three griffons in a canyon immediately to the south, a red, green, and yellow one. Kill them in the following order- Green-Yellow-Red. You will be immediately transported to the final boss and skip the bulk of the game entirely.

its like the gaming equivalent of asking whats the deal with airline food but in all seriousness what game has cool underwater sections? even in games where they're tolerable like mario 64 and bayonetta they're still arguably some of the weakest points.

The Thunderball-style scuba combat level in Call of Duty: Ghosts was the best one

I decided to play all the games instead of skipping to 3. I expected the first game to be super janky but it's not that bad- Chap. 1 is kind of rough because you have to walk up and down the same long road over and over but Chap. 2 is a huge improvement so far, with more little dungeons and neat monsters to fight.

I like in-game gwent more than the stand alone version. It’s rad that they turned it into a full game, but it isn’t nearly as fun as the original sidegame.

This seems to be the general consensus, more or less.
