Got laid off this week. Sucks. Severance is good enough for few months, will just work my backlog I guess.

Finished Witcher 3 main story, will start DLCs after the remaster is out (I thought I was in the safe 11 years post release, guess not lol).

I am trying Helldivers 2, not into multiplayer but thought I could see if it is something I like.

I wanna get into Cyberpunk 2077 next, but I feel decision fatigue after Witcher 3 (my first CDPR game). I actually like linear games with not many choices, makes me anxious that I’m playing game wrong, just like I feel I’m living life wrong. Especially when games are 40+ hour long. Let’s see if I can get over it.

    Ah, I'm so sorry you got laid off! Take a digital hug, if you want it.

    I definitely feel the decision fatigue. I do like a choice based game or an RPG at times, but it can definitely be exhausting. Sometimes you just need a linear and concise story that's cinematic and well told and that you can just follow.

    Aww thanks.

    Yeah I hear you. Idk why I didn’t mind it in Kingdom Come Deliverance, but did in Witcher 3. Somewhere I feel Witcher 3 doesn’t tell you everything exactly and something massive happens coz of your choice, while KCD being so grounded seemed very straightforward, and you could hope your skills would influence the chances of getting what you want.

    I am looking forward to Fable, because it too feels like a KCD like experience where you get to be who you want to be, and almost always know what your dialogue choice will end up doing.

    The Witcher 3 definitely does have some very questionable and misleading dialogue choices where it's very hard to guess what Geralt will say and how (and consequently the outcome) based on what's written.

    I played Fable back in the day and enjoyed it enough, but I am not as hyped about the remake as most seem to be. I'm interested to check out the reviews for it though.
