Too late, I’m fully stuck in on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and I do not have room for anything else in the “big, open world RPG with swords and armor and shit” genre.
KCD2 is an amazing game
I have learned this over the last week. I got it on sale just after Christmas and basically spent the whole week playing it.
I think I’ve done like 1 of the main quests and have just been fucking around with side quests. But it’s been so fun.
… seriously? So then they’ve fixed that combat with multiple people? Because that, in the first game was absolutely atrocious.
EZ, just cast red rune to create 1v1s and green rune to protect yourself from ranged attacks
What? I thought this was a non-fantasy medieval game.
It’s just Geralt drinking wine and puttering around his Toussaint villa.
Better: New Gwent deck.
Pottering? Or is this the long-awaited golf expansion?
Rockin’ a man bun and taking sommelier classes

Well there goes the surprise!!!1!
Surprise! You get your surprise spoiled by some rag article site. Aren’t you surprised?!
The law of surprise.
It’s the Witcher 1 but redone in the Witcher 3 engine. They’ve reimplemented the combat rhythm minigame and the ‘sex cards’ are all in HD.
The remake is made by another studio, but I think they’ve been using Unreal Engine for all new projects
Edit: now that I think of it, if it’s the same studio, the Witcher 1 remake could be done as a DLC for TW3 (so indeed with the RedEngine)
I could get back into that again.
Reading the headline alone triggered my relapse
I’m so sorry, I feel you.
Don’t worry, now you’ll be surprised when it isn’t a surprise because you are expecting a surprise.
My body is ready
I tried a few time to get into Witcher 3 and just couldn’t.
It’s not for everyone and I won’t downvote you for it. I felt the same about Elden ring, just did not like it
I get bored of the combat by the time I get to the Red Baron. Love the story; but the gameplay gets super repititve super quick.
In my opinion, there are two ways to deal with that (well, three, but the third is “shrug and find something else to do”):
Playing on easiest difficulty makes the combat a non-issue, little more than set dressing, and allows you to focus on story and exploration. The combat would still bore you, but at least it would be over quicker.
Playing on the second hardest difficulty makes combat challenging enough to scratch the same itch as Dark Souls et al. do for me, but that’s obviously a matter of personal taste. Full on Deathmarch is even better for that, but I’m not convinced it’s a good idea for a first playthrough.
If neither works for you, shame, but it can’t be helped.
It might be a “watch the cutscenes and scenery highlights in a YT play though” game.
That’s what I ended up doing because I did wanna see the end, I just was done with the journey to get there lol
IDK, lots of the TW3 sidequests seem to be very good… from my time watching them on YouTube, heh.
They are. One of the game’s strengths, in my opinion, is the lack of empty filler and fetch quests. All the quests are voiced with original lines and they’re basically mini-stories, every last one of them.
I don’t like the combat system either, that’s why I always put it on the easiest setting, so I don’t waste time with it and just play it for the story. Let’s put it this way: Amazing story but bad combat? I can sit through that easily. Good combat with a terrible story? EW NO GET IT AWAY. Combat is like the least important thing for me in games. :D
I was the other way around (kinda). I didn’t mind the combat, though it also wasn’t anything special. The story was alright, but the 3-way split ending and how they used to pick which you got was complete horseshit, and it completely ruined the experience.
Add to that, I found the 2 previous games to be very disappointing as well. I don’t understand how the first game wasn’t a complete flop.
So CDPR has screwed me out of 3 games. Well, they owe me and they’re blacklisted until that changes. Unless they send me a free copy of CP2077 out of the blue they won’t see another dime from me ever again
I am not into FPS and CP2077 really clicked with me. The combat is pretty fun and versatile, graphics and soundtrack are amazing and the story is captivating.
I wonder, it’s it free and part of their marketing plan for Witcher 4?
Most likely it will be something tying Witcher 3 story with Witcher 4
I’m ready to bet 5 euros it is
Outsourced and financed by marketing budget
I’ll take that bet. All of their expansions have been paid DLCs. Would be odd if the last one wasn’t.
ah shit I didn’t know that. I think I bought the version with all included for a fixed price…
Well. I said it now, so you can send me your alternative to paypal in case I lose
Hopefully the Switcher can also get the expansion.
I only own the PS4 version, and I certainly am not looking to re-visit it, but if the DLC is free (or free at least for the GOTY edition) then I think I would!
