I just played Hearts of Stone and it was insanely good. I thought Gaunter was going to be bad but he was a really great villain. Too many cutscenes though, I wish it had let me actually play the heist mission. Blood and Wine is sexy as hell and extremely funny so far. CDProjekt are bae. Harrow posted:Hearts of Stone is really super good. I didn't play it when it first came out so I'm doing it now just before Blood and Wine and I'm really impressed by the whole thing.

at the date posted:I oneshotted the whole group in the inn with grapeshot so in the following cutscene the whole room was drenched in gore while bystanders were screaming and vomiting. I don't think the devs meant that scene to be quite so hardcore. Bobnumerotres posted:i dont touch the gwent at all and im glad that the game never, ever forces you to do it. even in sidequests where it seems like you have to play someone for info you can actually just murder/thieve your way through it

one thing i love about gwent is the way characters casually talk about the rare cards which almost exclusively represent geralt and his friends and never acknowledge that there's anything weird about it

goferchan posted:I played this for a while when it came out and got to Novigrad (I think I was looking for Dandelion?) and stopped for some reason and never played again .... reinstalled today and decided to just start a fresh save and I'm really getting into it.... also I never touched Gwent the first time around but now it's starting to click for me and it's great. The interface improvements they patched in with the inventory and stuff are a godsend too because that poo poo was miserable at launch.

Sapkowski is the perfect grumpy old Eastern European rear end in a top hat and he owns even though the books aren't very good. He originally thought the Witcher 1 was going to like Pong or Tetris with a Witcher skin because he refuses to accept that video games can have stories. I love him

Plutonis posted:The games are like the only reason people outside of Poland are reading his books why would he complain he genuinely doesn't believe this, he thinks his books getting translated is what made the games popular, and he still has a confused old man belief that games *literally* can't have stories or characters and that the Witcher games are basically complex versions of Tetris or Pong which have his characters and lore as window dressing like having Batman on the side of a pinball cabinet or whatever. For a dude who writes trashy pulp fantasy he's insanely elitist lol

HoS is a brilliant compact series of quests telling an amazing story and is probably the best 5-6 hours of the game (apart from the bank heist mission where are the fun looking bits are 90% cutscene for some reason). Blood and Wine is an epic new 30-hour open world adventure by a team at the peak of their powers but obviously isn't as focused. They're both extremely powerful in very different ways, and I love it

goferchan posted: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

Switch between the two highest difficulties depending on your mood. Or play it on hardest and use the mod that lets you equip more than a few talents at a time because it makes the game 100x more fun

the arbitrary mobs of random normal-looking enemies that are actually extremely powerful are the worst part of the game but they don't really matter too much

1 is fun and has some really surreal bits due to the low budget and janky nature. The best part is when you go to a party with Zoltan, Dandelion and Shani and you're all reminiscing about the past. It's supposed to be a special heartwarming chillout scene because Geralt has amnesia and this is the first time he's had the chance to settle down with friends and have a drink since he came back from the dead. Instead it's a nightmarish David Lynch situatiuon where ominous music keeps playing for no reason, everyone stands around with bulging eyes not talking to each other, Dandelion sings a song badly while the background music keeps playing and nobody acknowledges him, Shani's grandmother has a fixed 50% chance of throwing you out of the house every time you go downstairs because they forgot to turn that script off for the party scene, and Zoltan rumbles around roaring "PICKLES, GERRLT, WE HUV TAE GET SOME PIIIICKLES AND BREAAAAD" while the screen swims in and out of vision

extremely steampunk posted:just beat the main story, what an awesome game. the game world feels so lonely after you're finished, it made me too melancholy to clear up the remaining points of interest and stuff. B&W kind of helps with that but I wish there was some way to hang out with Geralt's buds in the wild
