Am I the only one who doesn't give a drowners soggy butt about Gwent?

Am I the only one who doesn't give a drowners soggy butt about Gwent?

I guess maybe its cause I don't care for cards games in real life either and I would much rather randomly explore and get into trouble then playing a card game in a game. And yes, I tried it and I got so bored and frustrated I ran outside the tavern with my sword and got everyone pissed off and had a huge fight with the guards until I died from too many arrows.

I felt better afterwards.

I don't think you're the only one, as I've seen posts like yours before

You don't have to enjoy Gwent, everyone has different tastes.

Personally I think it's brilliant! One of my fave things about the Witcher 3. (Perhaps because it's the only part of the Witcher 3 that has Iorveth in it)

After getting my Card Collector achievement, I started playing less Gwent than I used to. But that doesn't mean I don't care for it.

The game just tends to get so easy once you have a powerful deck that it's pointless to play anymore (unless you're blowing off steam).

Love gwent and I know it's unlikely but I would love it if some cards were elite in their own special way like

Ciri and Geralt rated 30 as the two best cards in the game by a long way
Vesemir, Yen and Triss rated 20
Letho, Iorveth and Vernon Roche 15

Then it gets lower

I'm not a fan of card games in general. I hardly played Gwent at all on my first playthrough. (Just enough to decide I really couldn't be bothered.)

On the other hand, I played more of it my second time around. I still haven't gotten very into it. At the very least, it's one more distraction to occupy you if you need a break from the drudgery of wandering the vast, detailed regions of the world, slaying mythical beasts with blade and spell, and immersing yourself in the colorful characters and quests.

I prefer Gwent more so than the dice game. I think it's a good addition.

I prefer Gwent more so than the dice game

I would like to see both

Love gwent my wish-list for future add would be
1) 2 spy cards for monster and scoia'atel deck
2)Regular high stake gwent tournament outside quests , like winning prizes could be not just crowns or rare cards but relic swords, horses and eaven a high estate property in Gildorf for Gerald with personal stash and trophy wall ( god i would love that)
3) And a tag team gwent game with 4 players would be sweet .

You are probably one of few. I think that its one of the best minigames I have seen, its not too complicated nor simple, doesn´t take long to play it, you gradually improves your skills and decks, find and win cards, it´s just well done and fun so I like to stop sometimes and play with some merchant.
If its not your cup of tea theres no need to play ity you can give it a chance later :youdontsay:

 

[ONLY_ONCE]

Yeah.. I feel the same, I don't like card games in general, I guess for those who do.. like these little games, in games.. it does look to be better than the old dice game. I just can't get into it, I might be playing it wrong though, I seem to never have enough cards and they are alway weak so I just ignore it.

I miss dice poker, it was easier to play :<

 

[Riven-Twain]

Ay, Gwent is interesting, and can be a bit fun, sometimes -- I'll concede that much -- but only once you've a fairly competent deck. Long live Dice Poker!

 

[Number1Witcher]

I didn't play Gwent in my first playthrough, probably because I didn't really get the hang of it, plus I thought to myself, its probably just a dumb card game. Started understanding and playing it on my second playthrough, and all I can say is Gwent is love, Gwent is life. Everyone has different preferences I suppose.

 

[killkenny1]

No, there a re actually dozens of you peeps. DOZENS!

At first I didn't care about Gwent, but later it sucked me in. Since I started playing TW2 I suffer every time I have to play dice poker... At least it's not as bad as it was in TW1, where you had to play 2-3 rounds (depending on the outcome)... Now that was truly hell!

Kindly refrain from turning this into a 'Dice Poker hate thread', if you would, please.

I love Gwent, is is so much fun. I was kinda gutted when they announced dice poker would not be in the game as it was great fun but Gwent truly is awesome fun.

 

[Riven-Twain]

Awww, you're no fun!

Of course not: fun just isn't in the cards at the moment.

Carry on with comments on the merits and shortcomings of Gwent, friends.

 

[Raffi88]

Didn't play it on my first playthrough. But on my second i tryed it.... and holymoly - i love it. In the beginning it's a bit difficult until you get good cards... unfortunately there are no real enemys outside the great tournament in novigrad.

 

[cyberpunkforever]

i tried to play gwent to save the life of a man in a side quest, i failed miserably, i don't like gwent, i can't get to understand it correctly i guess, the oppponent always wins,
i can't move the cards, can't do anything, but i don't care i rather be outside and explore and do things
