I know nothing about The Witcher but I watched the show and saw the complete game was on sale for $15 so I bought it.
I’m sure I’ll start it many months from now. I’m still working my way through the Assassins Creed series. I also have Arkham Origins I’ve never played.
A few hours? I’d worry you’d spend a chunk of that each time you pick it up a week later trying to relearn the mechanics. If you’re talking like 10 hours per week, then yes. That’s how I’ve been playing it and have about 6 hours of main story content left from the sound of it. It’s surpasses Jedi Fallen Order as my favorite 2019 title and depending on this ending, it could end up anywhere from top 10 to my favorite game of all time. It’s hovering in the 5-7 range for me right now.
I'm the opposite. I've put in a good 30 hours but I just deleted it from my hd. I get what it's going for I just can't any more. The tedious slog is just unbearable.
I don't wanna spoil too much so I'll just talk about the game play. The crux of the game is delivering items through difficult and unmapped terrains. Which believe it or not is fun at first because it gives you a sense of exploration/accomplishment when you get through a difficult path but it gets old real quick. As you progress and develop it becomes easier to deliver said items through building infrastructure/vehicles and sharing resources with the online community. But even then at the end of the day you're still just doing nothing but delivering items. There are some combat sequences but they're very limited in scope and frequency. It just seems like a grind to get to the good stuff. Basically its a mix of fetch quests and the "encumbered" mechanic in most rpgs for a large portion of the game.
prerecordedlive actually dressed up in a suit and tie and bicycled to my house to talk to me about our lord and savior Kojima-San
If you can get through Chapter 3 (out of 14), you’re golden. I want to say, for whatever reason, Kojima decided to dump 30-40% of the deliveries in that chapter. Exposition is sparse during this. I followed someone else’s advice and sprinted through the first 3 chapters, only picking up the Standard Orders (not main story) if I was already going to a particular destination. I want to say this is just a glorified tutorial segment of the game because of the new mechanics being pumped in with each delivery. This is where completionists are going to spend a ton of time because fulfilling all of a prepper or waystation’s requests at this part can get you some upgraded equipment that’ll save some frustration later on.
I have hard sold my friend Wu on this game for the past 18 months. I am elated to see him finally starting it.
neither do I, but it would be amazing if it were true. I would be surprised if it meant actual discs, but just the ability to have a full catalog of every gen's games in digital form on the store would be incredible.
yeah I think it’s wishful thinking but so far the leaks keep getting confirmed. I don’t believe for one second it will play discs but if PlayStation comes through with a digital store of its catalogue of games that would be huge and a fantastic way to move into the new console generation
Yeah, the only thing that gives me hope for this level of backward compatibility is their stated goal to swiftly move people on from PS4 to PS5, this would certainly be a good step toward doing that.
