So, I've started the Witcher 3 last week and will continue playing. I just arrived on the second map - Velen or something like that.
It's certainly not the generational masterpiece everyone made it out to be. In fact it is really janky. Luckily, it's just the kind of jank I was raised on and enjoy - games like Gothic and Risen.
My two biggest gripes are combat and dialogues. Combat just doesn't feel good, in fact I never played Witcher 3 until now because the combat in Witcher 2 was that bad. Luckily, the open world structure lends itself more to the Witcher power fantasy of optimizing combat out of the game by over-prepping (mind you, I've played both games on the hardest difficulty). As for dialogues, what's there is actually good. It's just that almost nobody talkes to you.
In conclusion, it's fun. There are no deal breakers, yet judging by the first area, it does not surpass its inspiration. However, I'm expecting things to get much more interesting later on since everyone was going on about the quality of the side quests. I did everything and so far they were quite basic.
As for me, it used to be 50/50 back when I studied. However, ever since I've entered the workforce I mostly stopped watching videos.
I need to constantly learn new things, tackle new problems and optimize stuff. I usually go for the highest difficulties too. In theory, my job provides these tasks for me, however, I get a lot of satisfaction from trying and failing things over and over until I've figured them out myself. I can't usually do this professionally, as most problems have already been solved and I'm just learning how others did it. The same as playing with a guide or watching a video on a game. It just doesn't scratch the itch.
Yeah, I somewhat agree. Collecting full sets in the game is kinda fun, just because opening card packs is inherently fun. But I play the game precisely because this isn't worth any money to me.
Having cards that are only obtainable with money ruins this. It's kinda killing my interest in anything else they do since I can't complete the promo set anyway.
The worst part is, they would make millions without it. People already pay for regular packs, just to collect their digital cards faster. Heck, the increased attention to the actual card game alone probably already offset the developing costs.
Quite honestly, I never questioned my sexuality. Naturally, I've been attracted to others before, I can recognize this feeling quite clearly. Which labels others put on me because of that really doesn't matter to me, so I don't think about them. I simply go for it if I feel attraction.
Of course, only go for it if you're single and while it never applied to me or you in this case, don't go for illegal things. If something like bestiality or pedophilia ever came up I would start questioning myself and consider therapy.
Do you mean quick time events (QTEs)? The game has at least one cutscene I remember where you're prompted to activate an ability to change the outcome, however, I think that's it. The games usually doesn't have them.
Although, it does commit an entirely different sin in terms of unskippable cutscenes: There are several 'immersive' cutscenes with you suddenly walking at a snail's pace or climbing slowly around while the cutscene plays out.
Weekend everyday, basically. I don't care for a house or fancy things, I'd spend my time creating art and having fun with friends - who I'd share some wealth with.
I fixed my post - according to my source 59% make less than 6 figures, not more. It's still different to your sources, but not by as large a margin. Thanks for cross-checking!
I sure hope so, I got quite burned on the last big budget game I've played years after the hype. God of War 2018 felt like a culmination of every wrong with gaming at that time (outside of mtx) and AAA games only got worse from there.
I don't know shit about taxes in the US, but a solid guess would be that 45% is actually proportional to the amount of households making 6 figures post-taxes.
