The Witcher Game Series

[Crocodylus Acutus]

I just finished The Witcher 1 for the first time. What a great game, I really enjoyed it. I've only ever played the third game, so I'm going through the whole series and obviously Assassins of Kings is next. I think I like 1 more than 3, although I'm going to replay 3 too since its been a hot minute.

I loved the environments in the game, I think those were its strong suit besides story and characters (even if there were plenty of copy pasted crypt/cave areas). The twist at the end got me too, and I appreciate that they left it sorta open- but you would have to be a retard to not realize the connection.

My running theory, at least for Cyberpunk 2077, is that CDPR had designed the system specifically for the canceled multiplayer component, likely because it was some live service shitfest.

Oh they absolutely did. Before the 2.0 rework both clothes and weapons had mod slots and the mods even came in common, uncommon, rare, ultra rare, and legendary qualities with fucking color codes like it was Destiny or something.

Yeah, it was a fucking mess. Its a real damn shame too since 2020 is autistic enough to go into individual calibers for guns, and then assign damages based on those calibers. CDPR absolutely could have and should have adopted weapon scaling based on price and caliber similar to how old-school RPGs did it, perhaps with an overall quality level so you could buy a shitty, heavily-used version of a top-end weapon relatively cheap.
