Aleph Null posted:I played through Witcher 1 (the super-enhanced edition that had all the fixes in it) three times over the course of a couple of years It was a great game with a story unlike any I had seen (because I'm an American who never travels out of the country). It introduced me to a whole set of mythology I didn't know existed. It was novel, new, and interesting. And the twist that Raymond was dead pretty much the whole time was unexpected and well-done. I did really enjoy the story/environment in 1 since it was so different from most fantasy settings. The gameplay was whatever, but good enough for me. The enhanced edition was at least, the base edition with its insane load times I found virtually unplayable. The Witcher 2 felt like the biggest chore to play of the three, which is saying something. I enjoyed going through it but no way am I ever going back to see the alternate act 2. The Witcher 3 is unquestionably the best one though.

im pooping! posted:You get dinged for insurance if you blow up someone's car, but are ways to exploit it so you don't get dinged. For instance, if you ram their car into water you won't get dinged. Also it's incredibly easy to grief people. My strategy is go into passive mode and follow them while honking the horn. Extra points if they are talking and their microphone is picking up the horn from their own TV. You aren't penalized for straight up killing people, as a matter of fact you are rewarded for it because if you can rack up a big enough bounty from upset people you can easily claim it by going into your apartment and eating a sandwich or watching netflix. Pretty much the most fun I had in GTA Online was just planting sticky bombs outside my apartment right by one of the car upgrade places, luring in the people that I had previously been trolling by blowing up their cars as soon as they came out of said car upgrade place, then blowing them up while watching on the TV in my apartment. Then putting more bombs down while they were furiously driving back to kill me, and repeating. Spent a good hour doing this, then a few of them put their expensive cars outside my apartment so they got blown up too, and I got kicked to a 'cheaters' server where I had to wear a dunce hat and got sniped from the other side of the city. Apparently killing people and blowing stuff up is frowned upon in GTA or something.

I finished Witcher 1 (Enhanced) and 3 and felt pretty good about them, but I could not stand combat in 2. I got through the tutorial and started the first major chapter and gave up. They each control pretty differently though, especially the latter two compared to the first, so it feels like if the gameplay put you off of one, that doesn't say much about how you might like the next.

I didn't play The Witcher 2 until after the third came out, because I never made it past the first act of the first game. That drat dog just kept killing me, and I never could figure out how to kill it before it kills me. I even postponed going past the prologue of W2 to try the first game again, and still didn't make it past the dog. So I said 'gently caress it', and continued with 2 and 3 and had a good time with them. That dog sucks.

Witcher 2 has a screwed up difficulty curve where the first act is the hardest part by far. It's not balanced at all for Geralt's increasing power- I put everything into the Combat skill tree and by the last third of the game nothing can touch you. That said, I still think it's a good game. Compared to the way Witcher 1 and 3's stories sprawl out, I like Witcher 2's tighter focus. It also looks really, really good for a game from 2011.

Divinity: Original Sin has a bunch of good and bad things but one tiny feature that really annoys me is how the game neither pauses nor mutes when you're on the buy/sell screen. While I'm looking through my inventory for all the junk I want to sell, nearby NPCs keep repeating the same goddamn lines over and over. Considering how obsessive I can get with looting in these games, it can be really frustrating.

I know Knights of the Old Republic 2 was rushed out the door unfinished, but the ending on Malachor really loving drags. Why couldn't a couple of hours of dull grinding combat be one of the things to get cut?

Man, Just Cause 3 is glitchy in a way that Goat Simulator thought was hilarious, I've been catapulted across the map from grappling onto cars several times now. Also some of the challenges are bugged and its a bit poo poo that a so-called AAA game didn't get the most egregious mishaps patched out quickly or indeed at all. Its still a fun game, but I'm always waiting for the next thing to make me go oh for fucks sake now.

It's not balanced at all for Geralt's increasing power- I put everything into the Combat skill tree and by the last third of the game nothing can touch you. It's seriously pretty, yeah. I wish it was a better game, because it does so much cool stuff. But then it has weird janky bits like quests finishing without you or the main villains having to pause and explain two different plots that happened offscreen. The opening of chapter 2 is my favourite, especially Iorveth's path, for how suddenly everything escalates. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong, and there's no time to explain because more poo poo is about to hit the fan.

MiddleOne posted:How do you actually fail against the dog The Beast early on was savage. I believe they fixed things about it by the Enhanced edition and smoothed out the difficulty curve a bit. The first Witcher was all about making sure you had a good save handy so you could do a fight, lose, and then reload and apply all the oils and poo poo before the fight. I bounced hard off Witcher 2 though, not sure why. The starting area was difficult for no good reason, and I fought that stupid bug queen too many times. Eventually I just saturated the area with traps and as soon as it ran at me it triggered 30 traps at once and died. Witcher 3 is good, but I have a hard time really getting into it. When I play it I have a good time, its just it demands so much time.

I played the original, un-enhanced version of 1 and literally remember none of this bad stuff. I guess I was exactly the sorta grog the game was made for? 2 was, well. I didn't like the combat because it was so different from 1. And 3 was just, blegh. The combat felt like the worst of Batman floatiness between enemies combined with an inability to handle slight inclines.

One way to fight the Beast is to get blind drunk. The stun it uses is the 'pain' condition, and being drunk enough makes you immune to pain.

I really wish I loved The Witcher games as much as the rest of the internet but each one I've played for like a dozen hours and then dropped when I realized I wasn't actually having any fun. 3 was especially disappointing because I'd heard so much hype about how it was an open world game that was full of unique content and actually justified the format and then when I actually played it it was still just running around checking off icons on your map only occasionally you'd have to turn on detective vision and follow a glowing trail instead of a quest marker.

I really wish I'd been able to get into Witcher 3 because everyone I know raves about it but I bounced off it hard. The combat and movement controls felt sticky and unresponsive, not so badly it was unplayable but enough that traversing the world felt like a chore; when I got through the opening map and hit the second, even more enormous map I literally couldn't face continuing. Which is a shame, because I enjoyed the quests I'd done and the world is gorgeous. Also there were like, 3 bath scenes within the opening few hours of the game which is just silly.
