The Witcher 3 meditation screen back

Game is goat now

I don't understand why they call things like sales "dlc"

The inventory screen character lighting is much cleaner

‘Rent paid’

been playing this the last month or so on PC

the world building is actually great, the city layout is actually GOAT tier, amazing how many tiers and levels they were able to get into the game.

the glitches, there have been a few, but nothing that's game breaking so far. nothing that's exceptionally annoying other than the random NPC walking thru a solid object.

the story feels really dark to start out, it feels really immersive, overwhelming, the art style, all the weapons, mods, the vehicles, everything is totally new and so from a new player experience the game becomes amazing because of just how dark and immersive the environment feels.

but then what happens (and my biggest criticism) is you get to the mission with Hanako and the game says "THIS IS THE POINT OF NO RETURN" and it just kills all momentum.

basically after being involved in the main story which is pretty good the game says "ok now here is a part where you should pause and do everything else" and this kind of killed it because since then i've just been roaming throughout all of the different districts and completing as many side missions and possible to make sure there isn't any content i've missed before embarking on the final mission.

but the problem is because of all the excessive grinds out there my character has now become incredibly OP. I found a random pistol which does 900 damage and basically every enemy is a one shot and every mini boss is 3-4 shots, so now the combat has not become immersive, but i still want to trawl the map because there are side missions and characters to find, little easter eggs, the map still has engaging content, but some of the side missions do get boring and repetitive.

it's a shame you don't have the choice to affiliate with a gang in the game more heavily (at least from what i can tell) and join one and ascend the ranks. the gangs to play a part in the main missions but i have yet to encounter a moment of "here you can join maestro/tyger claw/valentino/voodoo/etc. it was really disappointing that after the main mission with the voodoo it's basically "ok now f*** off because we don't like you anymore"

so the world building is impressive, the map is S tier, the cars are S tier, the art style and visuals are S tier.

but past that and the main story it's really an empty game which is a shame. Likely the bad press has also made the game studio decide to cut back on it's investment, what a damn shame and mistake because this game has so much potential. night city is easily one of the best open world maps in any video game out there.

Late to the stream.

Have I missed any updates/news?

Theres no way to start it from the top smh

finally

^ buddy few posts above just dropped an entire game review during the live stream, peak internet moment

Better NPCs, next gen, apartment customizations, appearance changes, reworked perk tree

Also had some mods that made it so you have to eat and sleep and going back to your apartment is a must. Adding things like having to pay rent would be some nice added immersion

finally i can change my weird looking person

Was just about to ask about surgeries and haircuts

New apartments

They’re gonna make me start a new play through

Any release date info?

That’s what I was saying 😭😭😭

Like I might really have to run it one more time

Pretty sure both will release today but nothing official yet

Appearance changed
Apartment customisations

aight, they added some stuffs, but the core problems of the game are still here and won't ever get fixed imo

new apartment looks so much better
