I havent touched single player since I got it last weekend.

Online is super fun if you have friends BUT there are so many issues I dont see them ever addressing.

For 1, you have to have 4 ppl to do Heists, and if you don't it wont let you do them. Noone ever wants to help out unless they are your friend.

Servers are absolute trash.

You have to constantly load when you want to do anything. Load to get on your friends server, load to the matchmaking you want to play, then load back to online mode, THEN LOAD BACK TO YOUR FRIENDS SERVER!

They wont be making more heists anytime soon if ever, and there is only 4-5.

Lack of things to really do to make money unless you do the same thing over and over.

Griefing in a full armored car.

(With all this said, I have 31 hours since last week Thursday) -.-

I bought it last week to not have to deal w HH shenanigans in a post Fox HH world. I consider it a $2 sanity tax.

Also it actually was a good enough bundle that I didn't feel bad about paying regular day one price. Shocking, I know.

What happen in a post Fox HH world? the Hyenas take over?

 
What's this fakeybro GTA5 thing? I've sworn off Rockstar's garbage ever since Max Pain 3 and I fully expect GTA5 to be more of their dopey exploration/worship of neurosis in lieu of an actual plot but damn if it doesn't LOOK good. I feel like I'm a recovering alcoholic jonesing.

The real problem is that as soon as you buy it, you'll be back at rolling your eyes everytime you see a Rockstar sale. There's more entertainment value in not buying it.

 
Witcher is more RPG with a hackneyed combat scheme, both of them, than a traditional hack and slash. I couldn't get more than an hour into the first because the combat was so sucky. The second is beautiful, playable, and full of all the dopey grimderp dark fantasy kids love these days. Plus, it somehow manages to make political intrigue surrounding blowhard kings all about to divide up the land into something completely bloodless, uninteresting, and boring. That takes real skill.

Still, it's worth the pittance for a little bit of GoT style grimgrit costume drama and GoT style boobies. I can't for the life of me see the appeal of preordering Witcher 3 though just given the prices Witcher 2 has hit.

I roll my eyes every time I see a Rockstar sale NORMALLY so that's not actually a change. I roll my eyes a lot, to be honest.

I think the biggest problem for many w/ TW1 is getting over the hump of the first few hours. The game just takes a bit, before it really gets going w/ anything. Once the story, character development + the game actually gets going, it gets great.

About the combat in TW1 - takes a while to get used to. I liked it b/c it was different...once it actually got going. You basically have to time attacks + use the right moves. In the beginning...when you don't have much moves, Signs, and anything behind you - yeah, it's quite dull. It gets better, as you go along - when you have more at your disposal. Though, yeah - TW2's combat is much-much better; no comparison.

I think TW1 does a better job w/ not destroying the story + character development; and not leaving cliffhangers - meanwhile TW2 falls apart in Chapter 3; leaves a nasty cliffhanger; and there's some elements that they could've + should've not even introduced until TW3.

That's once Rockstar actually decides to put some CAG-Worthy sales on GTA5 PC.

any of you played arma 3? i tried it on steam with their free weekend, i cannot believe they are charging 59.99 normally without a sale. game felt like early access and beta, the controls, and presentations. are a mess, and the servers lags like crazy, and it is almost as bad as gta v

 
To comment on the Witcher posts, I just picked up the first one and while the combat is meh, I still think I like it better than the second one. The Witcher 2's storyline just bored me to tears. Guess I'm not found of political storylines in my video games.

Both, more so the second, have cutscenes that go on forever. But at least I'm not falling asleep during the ones in e original (so far).

exactly how I feel toward the Witcher 1. How the heck it get many hypes is beyond me. It was a very generic run of the mill action RPG to me

 
Wooooo!  Default wins!

Thanks for sparing me any more "Those look fun... maybe... eh, I don't know if I want to pay for them.  The trailer looks fun though..." moments.

No worries, I try to keep my steam library to games I have some desire to play...

or has cards I can idle for

 
I have no desire to go back and play the 1st Witcher and I only made it about 6 hours into the 2nd game. I'm not sure why I'm hyped for the 3rd game considering that, maybe it's because my PS4 hasn't had a decent game in it for months. 

I mean, I enjoyed what I played of 2. It's combat felt like a shittier version of Dark Souls but the story felt incredibly dull after the opening twist, though I only made it to the first monster hunt so maybe it gets better.

It's hyped and praised mainly due to it's story and choices and consequences. Personally I find the story/lore/world a bit boring, could never really get fully into it. I thought Witcher 2 was better gameplay wise but still had the same issues in terms of not being able to get invested in the gameworld. I'm slowly getting more anticipatory toward witcher 3 because everybody is beyond hyped for it that it's wearing off on me, but realistically I know the same issues for me will probably be there.

also lol at the fact that witcher 2 had an antagonist named "dethmold."

TW series often uses a slow story-telling + character-builiding methods...for bigger pay-offs later. They're throw out a bunch of small things; build on them slowly; and then they'll add up to something major later + it'll hit you like a ton of bricks.

Same goes w/ decision-making - the pay-off comes later. You make a decision now, and you won't see the results instantly since it comes hours after you've decided. Which means, if you don't like how your decision's results turned-out, you're going to have to go back to a save some hours ago. B/c of that, it's a game that makes you often live w/ your decisions, whether you like to or not.

Decisions in TW games often do not give players obvious results. Often, there are lots of gray areas in TW games. Deciding what seems like a "good" moral decision here - if it's even actually offered here, in that instance - does not always give you the best results or easiest path; it could be the hardest path w/ the worst results. You might be in a situation, wanting to picking the lesser of a bunch of evils...and there's no real "good" decision here. Sometimes, staying neutral and not getting involved is the best thing Geralt can do.

Also, if you're comparing just about any game to Dark Souls' ultra-precision + awesome combat system & controls (with the gamepad), you're likely going to be disappointed with that game's combat. Dark Souls is just hard to beat in that area, IMHO.

So far every game in the series has been rather different to the ones before it, so I can see being hyped for 3 even if you didn't like 1 or 2. Although the combat in 3 does seem pretty similar to 2 (I'm trying not to watch too many trailers so I admittedly haven't seen much of it) the change to an open-world structure is still a pretty major one that is bound to appeal to a lot of people.

Puh-lease. There was a character in one of the short stories named Goatmuncher.

So...they're abandoning their new, supposedly fixed version, and going back to supporting the old, poorly balanced, rampant with hackers version? Somehow this doesn't surprise me.

No, they're abandoning their "rebalanced new version of 1", doing some fixes on the old version, then moving on to 2.
