Hi.

How far am I in witcher 2? I'm past the swamp area, in the next area:
In the dwarf town. I remember fighting harpies in a pit outside. I've also encountered 2 trolls outside. I've also gone dungeon crawling in the dungeon below the dwarf city.

My game backlog is massive and I 'm trying to finish things but the siren call of games I've already played and finished (invisible inc, don't starve, xcom 2, prey) is greater than the siren call of games I haven't finished, (Witcher 2, mass effect 3, zelda: BOTW, persona 5) or the lure of games I bought at full price and never touched: (witcher 3 lol)

You still have a while to go. Witcher 2 took me 25-30 hours to finish back in the day.

I saw this guy out of the corner of my eye at a store and thought he was carrying macuahuitls which is pretty awesome. I was disappointed when I saw it was actually something so pedestrian.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Dr. Light is a good dad to both Mega Mans.

I guess Raiden's a dad but it's really embarrassing and stupid.

I'm not convinced either way about Geralt.

The best non-gaming dad is Uncle Phil.

I love Yakuza 0, but honestly I dislike a majority of the minigames. The car racing one is probably my least favorite​, and I'm not sure why they made it the way it is, considering what actual slot cars are like...

While true, I don't see how that's a strike against it. And Kiryu playing with cars is so drat :3:

I really like Yakuza's side-missions because their tone reminds me of Deadly Premonition's similar silliness, they're great.

I find it really frustrating and dumb, and am baffled they didn't make it more like real slot cars, which are a lot more interactive ans controlled by a single analog trigger.

For me the experience is mostly "make the car that looks, on paper, optimal for the track" and then watch it lose over and over.

Edit: ^ yeah, I like basically all of the side missions, and I love the conversation/dialogue puzzles.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I bought Horizon and Yakuza at the same time. I want to beat Horizon before I start Yakuza but as much fun as surgically placing arrows into robots/skulls is, I am fighting hard against the urge to punch goons for fun and profit. It's pretty good motivation to work through Horizon but I'm going to have to power through the story and force myself to stop hunting every collectible.

that's all dlc and not main mission so you could have ways and ways to go or be almost done.

The "stealth" section in Vanquish is as bland as I remember it. The game gets really bad during the monorail bits or whenever there's some gimmick area in general.

I am playing mass effect 3 and I am supposed to gather party supplies. I have wandered the silver strip for 20 minutes and I haven't seen a single loving party supply. Also I have friends IRL and don't care about video game parties. Can I skip to the end? how do I avoid all of this personal/friend/party poo poo and advance the plot?

edit: if I can't do that how can I buy the bare minimum supplies for a poo poo party to advance the plot?
