  • Problem is that these will always be a thing because of whales. Am I supposed to not buy a game because of a micro like this? So basically quit gaming? Because they’re everywhere now, and as long as whales exist, micros will exist. You need to pick your battles. I stopped buying multi-player games all together. I’m not limiting myself on single player games because of a minor micro that changes nothing about my single player experience.

    Everyone could boycott this game except for the whales, and that handful would still be considered a win for them. Don’t be disappointed in a single games sales, be disappointed in the current state of gaming.


  • While occasionally I wish I could save scum when I make a mistake, I’ve gotten through rough patches. I will say the performance is lacking sometimes, hopefully that will iron out in time. One save file can be a pain, but you can rebuild your character in any way you’d like throughout the game, and there is NG+. But I have 10 wake stones and 20+ ferry stones. They aren’t THAT limited without buying them. This just encourages me to explore more and think about my combat a little more thoroughly. I’ve run the same roads over 10 times and I’ll still find a new path to a seekers medallion or a cave I hadn’t gone through on the 11th time. I’ve only used 1 wakestone and that was because I fell a half a mile and ended up somewhere I hadn’t explored yet.

    The game is not bad, it’s just built different. GOTY? I don’t know about that yet. But to be ‘disappointed’ that a game you didn’t like is selling well is nonsense. The micros are irrelevant as far as I can see with the stockpile of those items I have, and while I don’t like the idea of them being slid in there, it’s not predatory like lootboxes in some games.








  • I’m hoping the initial backlash from cyberpunk actually registered with them. Other than that I’m also worried about what kind of story and characters they’ll use considering the way the last dlc for witcher 3 ended. Not sure I’ll be into Ciri based gameplay. That was my least favorite part of Witcher 3, and I don’t really want them to retcon the end of blood and wine either to continue with Geralt.
