It's just Geralt drinking wine and puttering around his Toussaint villa.

    It's the Witcher 1 but redone in the Witcher 3 engine. They've reimplemented the combat rhythm minigame and the 'sex cards' are all in HD.

    The remake is made by another studio, but I think they've been using Unreal Engine for all new projects

    Edit: now that I think of it, if it's the same studio, the Witcher 1 remake could be done as a DLC for TW3 (so indeed with the RedEngine)

    I wonder, it's it free and part of their marketing plan for Witcher 4?

    I get bored of the combat by the time I get to the Red Baron. Love the story; but the gameplay gets super repititve super quick.

    It might be a “watch the cutscenes and scenery highlights in a YT play though” game.

    IDK, lots of the TW3 sidequests seem to be very good… from my time watching them on YouTube, heh.

    They are. One of the game's strengths, in my opinion, is the lack of empty filler and fetch quests. All the quests are voiced with original lines and they're basically mini-stories, every last one of them.

    I don't like the combat system either, that's why I always put it on the easiest setting, so I don't waste time with it and just play it for the story. Let's put it this way: Amazing story but bad combat? I can sit through that easily. Good combat with a terrible story? EW NO GET IT AWAY. Combat is like the least important thing for me in games. :D

    I was the other way around (kinda). I didn't mind the combat, though it also wasn't anything special. The story was alright, but the 3-way split ending and how they used to pick which you got was complete horseshit, and it completely ruined the experience.

    Add to that, I found the 2 previous games to be very disappointing as well. I don't understand how the first game wasn't a complete flop.

    So CDPR has screwed me out of 3 games. Well, they owe me and they're blacklisted until that changes. Unless they send me a free copy of CP2077 out of the blue they won't see another dime from me ever again

    Too late, I'm fully stuck in on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and I do not have room for anything else in the "big, open world RPG with swords and armor and shit" genre.

    I have learned this over the last week. I got it on sale just after Christmas and basically spent the whole week playing it.

    I think I've done like 1 of the main quests and have just been fucking around with side quests. But it's been so fun.

    ... seriously? So then they've fixed that combat with multiple people? Because that, in the first game was absolutely atrocious.

    EZ, just cast red rune to create 1v1s and green rune to protect yourself from ranged attacks

    I only own the PS4 version, and I certainly am not looking to re-visit it, but if the DLC is free (or free at least for the GOTY edition) then I think I would!

    The report follows similar claims from a Polish games insider, Borys Nieśpielak, who said last year that the new content was secretly in development at Fool’s Theory, the same studio currently remaking The Witcher 1 for CD Projekt.

    So is the remake of TW1 the DLC for TW3 ?

    takes a lot to get into the weird fight mechanic. you need to fully embrace that odd fighting system, then it works i guess

    The attacks didn't even connect physically, and enemies barelly have feedback on damage they take.

    Playing Old School CRPG with top view camera stil it doesn't help either, it tried be two different styles of RPG and end up being bad in both

    It aged poorly, but it's definitely not "awful". I played it in 2009 and it was then my 2nd favorite RPG after Mass Effect

    You have to understand, i was the story first when i was young (and umployed), i played a lot of JRPGs with terrible combat and enemy encounter rate.

    Those days, i rather have a game with a shallow story but a awesome fun gameplay, i definitively not in Soulslike anymore, and stop playing all my games on hard or expert.

    If the game is make me do a lot of extra effort to play it, it simply doesn't woth my time

    No offense but you shouldn't be playing a Witcher game for the gameplay, but for the story 😅

    Not that TW3 gameplay is bad, but what makes it worth playing it 120 hours is the story, not the combat
