    Who do you want to watch your back Eskel or Lambert ?

    Eskel. Both are probably equally capable of keeping you alive, but Eskel would be infinitely better company on the road.

    Your favourite tracks of the Witcher 3 OST

    The entire soundtrack was fantastic, but if I had to pick one track as a favorite it would be The Fields of Ard Skellig....one of the most hauntingly beautiful ambient tracks I've ever heard in a video game. I won't link that one since I'm assuming everyone remembers that track. Ard Skellige...

    New Witcher Game - Character Creation?

    The new medallion art likely suggests a protagonist from whichever school it is meant to represent (Cat, or Lynx?) rather than players having a choice of schools, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't a character creator. If the main character is original & not from the books, there is...

    Ludonarrative dissonance

    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...

    How Did CDPR make Jakie such a fan favorite? (includes spoiler about Jackie)

    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...

    Was last gen a mistake?

    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...

    Was last gen a mistake?

    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...

    Is Cyperpunk 2077 a political game?

    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...

    Was last gen a mistake?

    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...

    Was last gen a mistake?

    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...

    [Spoilers] Do you like V?

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

    [SPOILERS] Soulkiller technology

    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...

    [SPOILERS] your favourite ending

    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...

    [SPOILERS] your favourite ending

    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...

    UOKiK will monitor the progress of work on patches. If CDPR fails to deliver they will be fined up to 10% of their income in previous year.

    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...

    [SPOILERS] your favourite ending

    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...

    [SPOILERS] your favourite ending

    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...

    [spoiler] Is there only one 'happy' ending?

    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.

    Polls are the way to go forward

    Please no. More romance content will probably win because a lot of players place way too much importance on that aspect of the game in RPGs, and the major problems that need to be addressed for CP 2077 are mostly elsewhere.
