Witcher 3

[11B4V]

Yip, very well done.

[Caliga]

It's kind of weird you can't sleep with every single young woman you come across though.

[celedhring]

Yeah, unlike previous games besides paying 'hos you only seem to be able to sleep with women if you actually develop a relationship with them. Figures. 

Enjoying it immensely. It's kinda weird because gameplay-wise it doesn't break any kind of new ground, but definitely one of those games that's much more than the sum of its parts.

[Caliga]

It's just that every single piece of it is incredibly well done.

Combat - awesome
Story - awesome
Graphics - awesome
Voice Acting - awesome

That may actually be the game that gets me to pull the trigger and buy an Xbox One. I am so used to buying consoles (and games) years after everybody else that I feel weird in envisioning buying one of the newfangled Xboxes.

[11B4V]

Pull the trigger.

[garbon]

I hope the dialogue gets better than the opener and initial tutorial...

[celedhring]

The Red Baron plotline in Velen is some of the best writing I've seen in a videogame.

Kinda feel that the game peaks a bit early, though. Velen is my favorite area by far. I have yet to play the DLCs though.

[The Brain]

I'm sure they're excellent but I never got into the Witcher games.

Why The One & not a PS4?

[Oexmelin]

Because backward compatibility and capacity to play with my sister (that's what she has).

Agree.  I've vacillated quite a bit between wanting to cut his throat and give him a hug.

I was shocked on my second PT when I returned to Velen and [spoiler] found him hanging from a tree in his own courtyard.[/spoiler]

While the world is rich and exceedingly well designed (Novigrad is - hands down - the best looking city of any computer games I've ever played), the replay value of W3 is limited I find, precisely because of Geralt.  If you can't craft your own character it puts a damper on the whole thing.  I did 2 PTs altogether, one where he dies and another where Ciri becomes empress. 

Now that they have developed all these assets I could see a game set in that world but without involving witchers, or only at the periphery.

Thanks for the spoilers dude.

[Grallon]

Thanks for the spoilers dude.

And who forced you to read what was clearly a spoiler bolded part?
