Geralt can quite literally stop to play Gwent while Ciri is in danger, and while Geralt for a long while only has some clues to Ciri's whereabouts and nothing definite...he does know right from the start that she is in mortal danger. The story sort of demands that Geralt should be focusing on...

A combo of solid voice acting, a good character design, Jackie having a personality that makes it easy for many to like him, and the fact that he was front and center in a lot of the early marketing so fan hype built him up to be more than his actual content in the game. In retrospect he was...

You are one person. If any of those three corporations grow to be the size of CDPR, with yearly profits that are over $100,000,000, it's not going to be just about you. CDPR has over 1,000 employees as well as shareholders that expect a return on their investment. I also didn't necessarily...

Counterpoint: CDPR not only released a game on base consoles long before it was ready, they actively tried to deceive players about the state of the game on base consoles so their preorder numbers wouldn't take a hit. A corporation pulled a highly anti-consumer corporate move. No one should...

Yes. The genre itself is inherently political and the world Mike Pondsmith created is no different. It takes a rather dim view (a justified one, IMO) on unrestrained capitalism for example. When "gamers" complain that some game is political they aren't really bothered that the game had a...

I was in error. 59% of sales were for the PC as of December of 2020, so the remainder would be split between older & newer consoles. That said it is a safe bet that the majority of console sales were for old hardware, because that is what the majority of console players would have likely had...

Perhaps, but Cyberpunk 2077 wouldn't have been the same game only more polished had it been released solely as a PC and next gen title. Old hardware accounted for something like 40% of all sales. If you're going to be tossing aside almost half of all potential sales, the development costs need...

Or Geralt. If CP 2077 is not an RPG, than neither were any of the Witcher games.

That gets into the whole deal about what exactly is consciousness, which even scientists and philosophers struggle to answer. That is probably why the game seems to give contradictory impressions. Going forward V is probably meant to wrestle with the idea of whether they're actually V or just a...

It was financially successful. Enough copies were sold that DLC is almost certain. You got a complete story and an ending. DLC that provides new story content after that is a bit like a mini sequel. Unless that content was complete and cut from the main game to later sell as DLC, calling it a...

Nothing new there and DLC has been a thing for a couple decades now. Just about every RPG that is successful has DLC that continues the protagonist's story after the main game. That said not all DLC should be judged equally. One that provides new content that wasn't cut from the main game...

Cyberpunk 2077 had deeper troubles than just development being iterative & advertised features having changed or been cut by release. The game was near unplayable on base consoles and should have not have been certified. Moreever CDPR knew the state the game was in for consoles and actively...

That assumes that the endings to the main game are all she wrote, and there is no further story content involving V that is set after those endings. It's quite likely however that the DLC will alter those endings. Consider that Geralt settling down in Corvo Bianco with either Yennefer or Triss...

Torn between the endings where V rides off with the Nomads and the one where V & Johnny "solo" Arasaka, and V emerges out the other end as a Night City legend. The latter is definitely a bit darker...for all V's riches and glory and supposedly accomplishing their big dream, you get the sense...

Kerry & River stay with V if V remains in Night City. It's the opposite for the female LIs. They stay with V if V leaves Night City.
