Yeah, it felt a bit overwhelming to me too and I played the second game. It's because there are a lot of references to the book characters which haven't appeared in the previous games, but you should be fine if you read the character bios.
Fortunately for you, the choices from the second game have minimal impact (too minimal if you ask me), maybe with the exception of Letho's fate, but that one isn't super important either.
And yes, Gwent is great. It's pretty funny in hindsight because Geralt is supposed to be in hurry completing the main quests yet he wastes time by playing card games with merchants. Make sure to get as many spy cards as possible, card advantage is everything in this game.
It's...okay. I'm still only at Level 5-6, not incredibly far into the game yet, just met Yennefer after searching for her. I will say I feel… more like I'm at a huge disadvantage because I've never played the other games. Feels like there's a ton of lore and characters thrown at you with little to no explanation (one scene in particular really irked me because I was being asked a bunch of questions about events and characters that I assume were in previous games that I didn't know how to answer because I had no fucking idea what they were talking about), it's kind of overwhelming sometimes. The Gwent games are honestly my favorite part of the game so far (I need way better cards though), the story and writing is pretty good, but yeah, it's just a lot and it feels a little discouraging because of it.
I don't mind the overall design, though I do miss the coloured buttons. I think they should make a dark version too because the white plastic looks like it could discolour easily. Hopefully it isn't too much heavier than the DualShock 4 because my small, womanly hands struggle with that enough already.
The controller for PS5 is revealed. No more dualshocks, we are now going to have dualsenses.

I dunno what to say. It looks neat but I don't like the lack of colors for the button symbols and it looks a little bit fatter. But I guess I gotta get used to it.
I went down a Twitter rabbit hole today, and through an artist's retweet of an artist's retweet of an artist's retweet, I found this adorable art piece of Isabelle and Tom Nook. At least, I'm pretty sure. I can't read anything on this person's profile.
Because the virus is kinda forbidding me from doing anything truly productive, I decided to work on another "Telltale project." I dont think it will come out as well as the Poker Night 3 thing as what I have to work with is a bit more restrictive, but hopefully it does come out "pretty cool." Honestly after this if anyone has a suggestion of something I should try and "create/recrate" involving Telltale let me know. Don't really have anything else to do so might as well practice with this.

if i recall correctly, the coding they used when developing the first two games is now basically unusable on modern hardware, so just remast… moreering the first two would be impossible, they'd have to do a complete remake from the ground up.
as for the switch port, the developers probably didnt have enough confidence to put the remaster on switch due to it's slightly older hardware. yes the switch could probably run it, but not without a huge asterisk attached, similar to the witcher 3. so switch gets the re-release, everyone else gets the remaster.
Is it possible to gain negative brain cells from dealing with idiots?
Because my dad is being a dickhead. As of late, my little sister has a bunch of overdue assignments. So our mother took away her phone privileges, as expected. And she can't get it back until she gets her assignments done, and holy fucking shit, that takes forever! So, she can't call my dad. Which he only calls her for some reason. And my little brother won't ever charge his phone. So, last night. my phone dies on me. And he calls me when my phone is dead. So, he bombs my fucking phone. And my phone is on 30% so I go on it. And I see fucking 20 damn notifications in 30 minutes from him. So, I call him. And he fucking says to me that I need to call him at 5:00 PM every day now. And I have no choice, and he got really hostile because I had to go eat dinner. So I sat there on the phone talking to him, for a whole hour, because god forbid I eat dinner. So, he then finally says that he needs to go.
And, I already hate my father. Which, I know, it is a strong connotation to say you hate your father. But, to be honest, I don't give a shit anymore.
hey i get you're dealing with some troubling times right now, and i fully sympathize with you and get it being somebody with my own father issues, but if i could make a suggestion, probably refrain from using the word "retard" in a hateful sense. it doesnt bother me too much personally, but i know it does bother some people and i'd prefer it if the very nice people on these forums had a welcoming environment they could come and chat in where they arent faced with offensive language. not telling you how to post obviously, just asking kindly for you to be a bit more mindful.

It's April 2020 and I still haven't seen Star Wars Rise of Skywalker. I dunno if I want to because I learned the major spoilers that were basically the leaks before this movie even came out. I'm just afraid that I'm just gonna talk shit about it after I see it.

It's better than The Last Jedi, but that wasn't exactly a high bar. Supposedly it makes more sense if you also read the novelization, but you probably don't want to invest that much into it.

if you hated the last jedi as much as you always say, avoid rise of skywalker. because while it is a movie that shits all over everything the last jedi set up, it is also a movie that is 10 times less coherent than the last jedi and is 10 times more anti-star wars than (the general perception of) the last jedi. it stinks and i dont like it.

When I was a kid there was a video game store that had this on display for years. I thought it was the coolest looking controller ever.
B… moreut now I'm like what on Earth were the designers thinking of when they made this. How is this comfortable to hold in any way?
I mean, it was WAYYYYY better than TLJ. But, I really wouldn't watch the movie by itself. There are some details left out, for some odd reason. I would read the novelization first, as it gives more background on things that weren't explained in the film. Which, is stupid if you ask me. You shouldn't have to invest so much time into reading a book about a move you are about to watch, just to get a small bit of information.

Got to say, I am really not digging The Witcher 3. Like I legitimately am not having a good time with it, and I’m trying to keep pushing through in the hope that it’ll start to click, but I’m not enjoying myself at all.
The game just keeps throwing lore at you, expecting you to know it, the story just feels like it’s constantly getting side tracked, and the gameplay is incredibly frustrating. Not even in a Dark Souls way in that it’s frustratingly challenging, it’s just frustratingly frustrating. When I have to spend 30 seconds trying to get in just the right spot to get on my horse, or I’m getting blocked by a small and weak tree/wall that the horse should have no problem charging through/jumping over, it just gets to you after a while. I’m ready to put the game down and go back to Horizon Zero Dawn, it’s pretty similar but at least I have fun with that game. When the most fun I’m having is with the Gwent card games and not the actual game, I think it’s time I move on.
I agree. Ive tried getting into Witcher 3 three times now and just cant. Its a bit too time consuming for the wrong reasons and feels like more like a chore imo

Same here. The gameplay is soo overhyped. When I heard that this game was getting tons of praise, I was expecting a satisfying combat and travelling system but no one and I mean NO ONE ever told me how clunky it is or how long it took a player to get invested in the game. There is just too much content that I cannot get used to, the world is too big and the worst part are riding the fucking horses. I wanted to like this game because the story sounds interesting and I like some of the characters but with its poor gameplay mechanics, I just don't have the patience for it.

Since things are really stressful where I work at Amazon, I'm trying to relieve a bit of that stress by getting some music going throughout my work area. And while I do love music and even had a radio show when I was in college where I had complete control over what I played, there is one glaring weakness that I have. For those of you that know me, it should be quite obvious, but for the less inclined...modern music makes me want to blow my brains out. I've always been more of a classic rock and heavy metal kind of guy, but I recognize that I can't very well make a playlist for over 100+ other people consisting exclusively of stuff like Metallica, Lamb of God, Slayer, and other metal acts (as much as I would love to, believe me). I've pretty much exhausted my vault of classic rock material, and now I'm trying to throw in some stuff that I know my associates would relate to a bit more. Trying to spruce it up with country, rap, and pop, but I have absolutely no knowledge of this, which is why I'm reaching out to you guys for help. I'll take any suggestions, it just needs to be PG with little to no cursing (and if it does have cursing, it needs to have a censored version easily findable on Spotify).
Also, while I'm at it, can someone explain to me what Billie Ellish is? Like, I've heard of her, but only recently, like she just came out of nowhere and now everyone loves her or something.

Billie Eilish is one of those artists you either love or hate. The ones who love her do because she sings a lot of songs with lyrics they can relate to. There are a few bands who cover her songs in their own style, which makes it leap genres. I've heard one sing a Billie Eilish song in opera metal.
There are lots of services that will mix modern music so you don't have to, but in a commercial setting, they'll want to be paid for it, and Amazon isn't known for wanting to spend extra money.

As someone who saw it, it's really not worth it.

Not that I'm against reading, I love it, but I shouldn't have to read a novelization in order to understand the movie.
now I am goin to lose subscribe

coolio. like i said, i'm not tryin to police your posts or anything, you're a free man. i just wanted to offer a suggestion.
if you hated the last jedi as much as you always say, avoid rise of skywalker. because while it is a movie that shits all over everything the last jedi set up, it is also a movie that is 10 times less coherent than the last jedi and is 10 times more anti-star wars than (the general perception of) the last jedi. it stinks and i dont like it.
i've held it in my hands and i think the only way it could possibly be effective is as a torture device.
In hell this is the controller they make you play with.
Also the N64 controller.
not just the n64 controller, like a neon green translucent wildcatz n64 controller.
