comfy town edition.About to do the local town quests. Meeting up with the bard and dwarf at the pub next.
Your mother sucks dwarf cock.
>>720770470OH LAWRD HERE COME DAT BEAST
titty witchSTRONG female character
There's TWO of them now?
I played through and loved the fuck out of witcher 1, only to be hard filtered by 2's shitty combat. No not the difficulty, it's just arse. It's like dark souls but as if described by a drunken retard that never played dark souls
>>720770793Honestly it's not that hard. You mostly use Aard to knock shield guys down, and the rest is solved by blocking and parry mechanics. I think it's just fucking badly explained by the tutorial.Comfy forest. Talked to the Elves about how to hunt down the Kraken... uhh.... I mean Kayran.Time to investigate a wrecked ship.
>>720770907>blocking and parryingwhati was trying to dodge like it said to
>>720770793Still better than TW3's combat.>Wait for enemy to attack>L-Alt for infinite free i-frames, then press left click exactly three times to avoid triggering a super armored counterattack>Repeat over and over and over and over
>>720770985Oh no no no. You want to use Q to use signs, E to block/parry, and then try to fight one at a time, like real life.
>>720771206Well, shit me.Might reinstall and try again, BL4 is boring ubi-piss and nothing else to do. Fuckit.
>>720770371>yesteryears slopWhat's next, an Assassins Creed Syndicate thread?
>>720771318Also you do double-damage hitting enemies in the back so doing the Aard sign knockback and rolling behind them works.>>720771492>slopSexy elves though?
OK let's track this Kraken.
>>720771538
>>720771848FUN FACT:YOU CAN YEET BANDITS OFF THE CLIFF WITH AARD.I FUCKING LOVE THIS.
>>720771538>Sexy elves though?This whore will betray you if you decide to help her
>>720771971Don't plotspoiler me bro I'm doing this dry.Looks like LOTR.
Yeah the forest here is real comfy, the day/night cycle is great too.
>>720772161>Yeah the forest here is real comfy, the day/night cycle is great too.Lighting all the torches in Flotsam when it hits night is peak comfy.CINEMATIC KILLER
>>720772086I heard they fixed this quest in the enhanced edition, but originally it was a straight-up betrayal
Mr. Cool Ice using parry and block mechanics.
>>720772224Crazy how TW2 was a cutting edge tech demo on release that melted PCs. In hindsight it's easily one of the poorest aging games from that generation, and is hideously ugly.
>>720772410Looks ok to me desu.BIG RESOLUTION does the game a lot of favors. The textures hold up.
>>720772535Might actually be the UGOTY (ugliest game of the year)
Heh I used to play it at 720 resolution as it was all my computer could do.
>>720770793How you could go through W1 and think it's combat is anything but terrible is beyond me. W2's combat actually making sense and being dynamic was a massive improvement, even if it was later refined in W3.
>>720773010NTA but W1 combat is simple and clean.>Click, click, click.
>>720772535Imagine having this clear render as a reference, going into post-processing hell
>>720773190Genuinely beautiful. What happened to CDPR?
>>720773010Nah, W2 combat is meme, reminds me of those games where leveling/skill trees were added at the end of the development cycle, so you just start as a debuffed character. The whole combat looks like: cast a shield, swing your sword, run\roll around until mana meter recovers enough to cast another shield. It's hardcore at beginning, when 2 - 3 knights can kill you easily, but a few skills like avoiding backstabs make it primitive.W1 combat is an archaic rhythm game, but it has a nice variety with the styles, potions, and bombs, whereas in most cases, W2 is no fun allowed
>>720774000>whereas in most cases, W2 is no fun allowedFiltered.I NEED YOUR STRONGEST POTION
Let's find the ostmurk.
TOTALNEKKERDEATH
>>720774630>can't drink potions from the inventory>potions work for a limited time, so effects don't last till the boss
>>720775260This cave is unironically the hardest part of an Insane (permadeath) run. Weird how a bunch of fodder nekkers are more threatening than a kraken or a dragon
>>720773190I am being completely serious when I say that games from this era are far more aesthetically pleasing to me than everything that came after. I don't get the shilling for high poly models and high resolution textures when everything is a blurry TAA smeared mess with eye violating post processing out the ass.
>>720775785I could see how you think that. Games from that era required more artistic direction to stand out or be good.GOING INTO A DARK CAVE. OK?
>>720770371why do some people hate it and some call it the best in the series?
>>720776498It's a genuine "mature game" where there is minimal hand-holding and you can absolutely fail. You have to -read-. You have to -infer- things. Some sections are timed, dialogue AND combat.Fucking things up is permanent and realistic.In short, it simply is not for normies or midwits. If you have a high IQ and sit with it for a bit, and realise "wow, this is TRYING to be entertainment for big brains", you'll have a great time.For instance, I am doing this cave section. Earlier in the game it says "if you do dark sections take this CAT POTION". Normies then get to this DARK SECTION and get BTFO because the game doesn't remind them to do that again, or force them to.
>>720775785what's bottom left?
>>720776498If you DONT do what the game says and use potions, frequently there are parts where using 1-2 potions makes it fairly easy, and not doing so means you won't see all the 5-10 goblins trying to flank you.
Being able to see all the nekkers means it's fairly easy to pick them off one by 1.
Got the potion ingredients.
>>720775785old tech lighting is often nicer and more realistic looking that all the "real-time" turbo normalmapped crap we got since
>>720777694Be sure to do the Blue Stripes sidequest for the sick neck tattoo.Carries over too.
>>720778075Kek. About to fight the Kayran. The game told me to drink the ANTI-KAYRAN potion before the fight.Such a mysterious tip.Anyway, time to kill this big fish.
>>720770663De Transarville deserved better.
Probably the ugliest usage of bloom I'd ever seen in a game. The shit looks like how dreams feel.
>i think the stew's readyQUIET, WOMAN. artist at work.
>>720775472unless im getting them mixed up, i remember the one i raged at was the nekker cave that the elven woman tells Geralt to go into. Those little shits eat through your health in like two hits on dark mode and they can swarm you very easily.
>>720781263Yep, precisely that cave. You have to play like a bitch because there are so many they can easily flank you and backstab/stunlock you to death in a second
>>720781263>>720782879>trap it with YRDEN>you have a trap sign named YRDENBaffled, again.
>>720783369god. The voiceline still plays in my head.
